Notwithstanding the great steps forwards in public debate, and against Politically Correct speech and SJW Marxist madness spearheaded so well by Jordan Peterson, he "deplatformed" Faith Goldy from his post-Charlestown “free speech” talk, which as of last week he is still defending, albeit with a “we [referring to he and those on the discussion panel at issue] were damned either which way”. Mr Peterson ought know better than most that in principle, one ought be "damned" for holding true to your principles — the damn principles that Peterson himself apparently espouses no less — than for giving in in this way. The argument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8zLcMGCedA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmab5olDcQs https://godialy.com/phim/tyGMuYMXht0/jordan-peterson-on-de-platforming-faith... https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanPeterson/comments/7cqkd3/jordan_peterson_squi... http://nicemangos.blogspot.com/2017/11/free-speech-activists-deplatform.html is razer thin, and cuts no mustard compared to his usual sane stance that "those on the left -and- on the right ought be allowed to speak, so that onlookers can see for themselves if what they are saying is kookery or otherwise" (paraphrased). Deplatforming directly undermines this basic principle. Note: Peterson claims in one of his 'tubes that Goldy "failed to ask sufficiently challenging questions" of the alt-right personality "she was interviewing". In fact, she was herself being interviewed, so Peterson also got his facts wrong, or in his own words "failed to present the other persons argument even better than they did". https://www.politicalirish.com/threads/faith-goldy-answers-back-jordan-b-pet... Peterson has begun to walk back his position in a sense: "I didn't say we were correct, during the discussion re our reasoning. I just explained the reasoning" https://mobile.twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/930655791907987456 which again highlights his capacity for extreme precision, rather than any ability to recognise a mistake or hypocrisy within himself, BUT, gives me hope that he may yet, one day, realise that his decision re Faith Goldy was the greater of "the evils" and not the lesser. Free speech is not negotiable. Cuck on free speech, as JP did re Faith Goldy, and you compromise one of the very (supposed) foundations of the West, which the West is doing an absolutely appalling job upholding on so many fronts it is embassing in the extreme and fundamentally despotic bullying.

There's little else to add to this. Jordan Peterson is a man's man, tells it like it is, pulls no punches, and completely decimates SJW "media maven" Cathy Newman.
