He's such a little fraud. Threat to free speech posed by private control of media? Peterson: 'yawn'. Threat to free speech posed by the ownership of social media platforms by billionaires and oligarchs with ties to the security state? Peterson: 'ho hum'. Suppression of free speech at home posed by mass surveillance and self-censorship? Peterson: 'Have you cleaned your room?'. Suppression of free speech in the third world by US/Canada-backed totalitarian regimes? Peterson: 'You can't even change yourself, and now you want to change the world?' Undermining of free speech by the extreme concentration of resources by neoliberal capitalism? Peterson: 'You know, you bear a striking resemblance to Marx/Stalin/Mao when you say that.' Threat to free speech by the torture and imprisonment and trumped up espionage charges against Julian Assange by the world's most powerful states with the complicity of the corporate media, all for the crime of doing important journalism? Peterson: 'I think it must be nap time.' Threat to free speech posed by Peterson being told what pronouns he must use in his classroom, or by someone using voice software to create a fake audio of Peterson. Peterson: 'OMG!! Wake up people!! Can you not see where this leads??' I should add that I don't even particularly disagree with his stand on these last two issues, but to see him swallowing so many camels it's hard to take his straining at a few gnats too seriously.
