so I'm not a Jordan Peterson guy or anything (don't know much about him at all, maybe I would be? idk) but saw this and found it interesting, isn't Jordan Peterson a big free speech dude? isn't this a little ironic?

But Peterson’s affection for unbounded “linguistic territory” only goes so far, it seems. In June, he threatened to sue Down Girl author and Cornell University assistant professor Kate Manne for defamation, after she criticized his book, 12 Rules For Life, and more generally called his work misogynistic in an interview with Vox. (Peterson previously filed a lawsuit against a university whose faculty members, in a closed-door meeting, argued that showing his videos in a classroom created an unsafe environment for students.) In letters to Manne, Cornell, and Vox, Peterson’s lawyer, Howard Levitt, demanded that all three parties “immediately retract all of Professor Manne’s defamatory statements, have them immediately removed from the internet, and issue an apology in the same forum to Mr. Peterson.

I've more or less come to realize that Jordan Peterson is a "whatever he needs to be at the time" dude.

He doesn't seem to have any real principles that he stands by, which is weird because he's so clearly somewhat autistic.

I don't really know much about him at all, I was always a skeptic though. He just seemed like one of those guys uninformed people would kind of buy into. IDK. I don't know enough about him.

I like Peterson. I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff, particularly climate change, but I think he puts interesting ideas out there. Some of his criticisms of academia and liberalism are on-point.

it's pretty easy to be a critic though

but like i said, I don't know enough about him. I don't even think I know what he sounds like, I'll have to watch some youtube stuff on him later on if I have time this weekend.

Principles change when you get fifty death threats a day from tolerant democrats

wasnt "having to deal with the consequences of speech" the talking point of the far-left a day ago?

Non government consequences for speech. If you actually read the posts you are referencing that would have been clear

Defamation =/= free speech. Free speech doesn't give you the right to make up lies about someone and destroy their character
