So views you don't agree with are fascist and a witch-hunt? Are you for free speech or not? Surely you understand it's not a one way street right? You should read the Reddit thread on this topic. We're a bit of a conservative bubble on this forum but turns out other people think differently. Crazy hey?
Just to double check, who is hunting witches here again? I think some have it backwards. It's Peterson's speech that is trying to be suppressed. Crazy hey?
The government is not trying to suppress Peterson's speech.

Can you give us his exact quote and what lead up to it.

Don't "dear" me, please. I actually come from a country where fascism's ugly sibling communism was a way of life. People had literally lost their lives for not being politically correct.

What is it, exactly, that you think they are trying to do then?

But the "consequences" do. And you are cheering for that.

I don’t agree with everything Jordan Peterson says, but I will defend to the death his right to say it.

The way to deal with information you don’t agree with is to point out what you consider to be wrong, and to explain why you consider it to be incorrect.

Attempting to silence alternative views simply drives them “underground”, where they grow and fester.
