Maybe I've chosen my words poorly. What I'm disputing is that Peterson et al are using the term "cultural marxism" in quite the same way as Breivik. I don't like the term. I'd prefer them to use "cultural revolution". I don't like that PeterNorway cynically conflates the two

There's no disputing that a good portion of academia are self-styled revoltionaries, and that they have a good hand in shaping young minds. As close as this might seem to the far-right conception of cultural marxism, there is such a thing as nuance

Similar enough to conflate the two? The "retarded" part of my post was presumably conflating Gramscians and "Cultural Marxists," which you might have picked up as an ironic and deliberate error, since PeterNorway (and yourself) don'thesitate to conflate conservatives and nazis

Perhaps I should have put "far-right" in quote-marks, to make it absolutely clear that I was using the term with some irony. The quoted tweet suggests that Peterson is the new "far-right" and that his use of "cultural marxism" is linked to Breivik's use of the term

If you think that others will take it at face value, and that it might act as some kind of dog-whistle, I will take it down. As for being a miserable little sophist, I make no claim, have no responsibility, and take no payment to be otherwise

Well, it's hardly his or my fault that no-body has come up with a better term to describe the trend. What would you name it, were you otherwise inclined?
