During that lecture, he said he refused to use gender-neutral pronouns for students and spoke against "legislation that increased protections for trans and non-binary Canadians," according to Vice.

Four Penguin Random House Canada employees told Vice about an "emotional town hall" the company held to defend the decision to publish Peterson's new book in the face of employee concerns.

"He is an icon of hate speech and transphobia and the fact that he's an icon of white supremacy, regardless of the content of his book, I'm not proud to work for a company that publishes him," one anonymous LGBT junior employee told Vice.

“Maps of Meaning”,
A very deep long winded study into the underpinnings of religion. Nowhere near as easy to read as 12 rules, a proper academic root around the subject.
I put it down upon completion no more enlightened that when I’d started, probably a bit too deep for me.
Also expensive.:£65. rather a lot unless you’re really interested in the inner workings of Dr P.’s mind.
Each chapter is available as a lecture on Y-tube and is infinitely easier to digest, rather than being plugged directly into a brain the size of a small planet.

I have watched Dr. Peterson’s videos on the Old Testament. It was recommended by a religious leader.

“Liberals are the snowflakes ...”

Excellent! A heck of a list. Did you bang that out all at once or did you build that up over a period of time.

People keep sending me more and I add things as the headlines demands, like the “protestor punches horse” article. I just had to add “horse-punching” to the list.

they can cry all the way to the bank. If the publishing company makes a lot of money on this book, they can afford to pay their employees more

Speaking of JK Rowling...John Cleese is being demonized for defending her. His response?

“If you can’t control your own emotions, you’re forced to control other people’s behavior,” Cleese said of the hordes of Twitter users who’ve attacked Rowling and demanded that she shut up. “That’s why the touchiest, most oversensitive and easily upset must not set the standard for the rest of us.”

“I hope they fry in their own sanctimoniousness and narcissistic posturing. Until they get a sense of perspective, that is.”

Perfect.

They were, in one point.
They did say they were nationalists.

Great! Now quit, go live in moms basement until you grow a spine and get your sh!t together.
Until then, please stay quarantined so you don’t infect others with petulant whining, complaining, and ideas that 6 year old’s could annihilate!

The Nazis were NOT ‘’right wingers. They were Leftists.

The National Socialist German Workers Party. Hardly right wing.
