What is it with this trend of employees of media publishing companies trying to prevent conservative media from being published?

They always seem to be young sjws crying about racism, white supremacy, transphobia. Interestingly they want to stop someone from earning a living but want to remain anonymous for fear of losing their job.

People are too soft 🤔

Junior staff at Penguin Random House Canada are trying to block the publication of conservative psychologist Jordan Peterson's new book, claiming he is an 'icon of white supremacy and hate speech'.

...

But staff at Random House in Canada on Monday tried to block its publication. Four employees told Vice that the company held a town hall about it. They did not want to be named for fear of losing their jobs, they said.

...

One junior employee said at the meeting of Peterson: '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'.

Some were 'crying', they said, and one blamed Peterson for 'radicalizing' their father. Another said the book would have a 'negative effect on their non-binary friend'.

'The company since June has been doing all these anti-racist and allyship things and them publishing Peterson’s book completely goes against this. It just makes all of their previous efforts seem completely performative.'

As a stupid leaf, I can speak from experience and say - yes.

You have never had a right to a publisher.

This isn't anything like burning books

"trend"
"bookburning"
"crying"

pretty amazing what a couple of employees apparently disagreeing with a decision their company made can be sensationalised into. clearly belongs in the duffington post thread, not worthy of a new one. fabricated outrage...
