U of T debate: Free speech and Bill C-16

Jordan Peterson debates a hostile pair of radical social justice warriors:



Christie Blatchford's summary of the event began: "My God, if that thing at the University of Toronto on Saturday was a debate about free speech, then the battle is already well and truly lost.

Michelle's angst

Well, Michelle, at least she's a legal immigrant.  But, come to think of it, if she were a Mexican border jumper you'd probably be smiling.

The left's lies about Stephen Bannon

Stefan Molyneux thoroughly de-bunks leftist smears against Steve Bannon.  He discusses the left's smear tactics, the hypocrisy, anti-semitism, racism and cowardice in their rhetoric about "white" nationalism.  Molyneux also concludes that the left's claims to champion diversity are phony; the left is not pro-diversity, they are only "pro-all-groups-who-vote-for-the-left" - it's why, for example, they support open borders - for votes. If they thought that poor Mexican border jumpers would vote Republican instead of (overwhelmingly) Democrat, they'd be clamouring for a giant wall - diversity be damned.

Leonard Cohen dead at age 82

President Elect DONALD J. TRUMP!

Fantastic! 

At last count he had 288 electoral votes, a solid win.

Now the hard work begins.  But first, I'm looking forward to enjoying watching Media Party and other rabid Trump haters' heads explode.

Update: As of the evening of Nov 10 all but 20 electoral votes had been decided  (NH and MI) with Trump at 290 and Clinton at 228.

Jordan Peterson unloads - his philosophy and his advice on how to defeat the "social justice" ideologues

In this powerful one hour interview, Jordan Peterson lets us know what makes him tick - his philosophy of life, why he is risking his job to take up the fight against and defeat the scourges of political correctness and "social justice" ideology infecting Western society, and what we can do to help:

A teaser:
Prof Peterson identifies The PC Algorithm aka The Game of Political Correctness used by social justice warriors:

1. Identify some domain of human endeavour
2. Note that some people are doing comparatively well and others poorly
3. Define the people doing well as perpetrators
4. Define those doing poorly as victims
5. Announce your support for the victims
6. Trumpet your moral superiority
7. Vent your resentment and hatred on the conveniently identified perpetrators
8. Repeat, forever. 

"This requires no thought.  You can teach a university student this in about two hours and indoctrinate them into doing it professionally.  Our recent research indicates that one politically correct course is enough to significantly affect someone's political beliefs."
