How should censorship for a supplier of books work though? If you take issue with Amazon removing the book from their inventory, do you similarly have an issue with Amazon refusing to carrying the book and have it be part of their inventory to begin with?


If they are refusing it on that same basis then sure, I don't really see the difference.

So you're saying that Amazon should be forced to carry a book? Who is going to come up with the criteria, decide which books do and do not fit that criteria, and then enforce it?

the -get a pic with a celeb- style business that had that on their main promoting site made a massive error in letting that slip through

especially given that Peterson is so often wrongly labeled

I wonder if he will sue because that sort of thing is devastating for his image (that he already struggles to maintain given the intense political climate ) and not really as much of his own fault

the business should have been doing the checking of extreme type of tshirts like that and it certainly never should have ended up on the promotion website itself

Jordan Peterson is probably more influential in the current state of things... And mein kampf is valuable for historical analysis whereas Jordan Peterson could be replaced by any other less toxic self help guru. The only useful things he says are like psych 101 basics.

He's not toxic the people that worship him and target him based on some of his worshipers are

He shouldn't be penalized unfairly for a war he doesn't really contribute to

I am assuming you are saying he doesn't have a dog in the fight about shootings

He is an advocate in the culture war against left extremism however

not the toxic form

not with anything I've seen and I've seen quite a bit as a non fan just because of the circles he runs in

anyone that is anything other than mostly indifferent on his words and him is giving him too much credit or blame in my opinion
