i like albertans, they're nice
Jordan Peterson is from Alberta. someone convince him to run
Seems like he lost his taste for politics when he was a teenager
Maybe someone could have run a moose or something
Jp's has much more influence on the world in his current role
This article is what happens when you think the Internet is real life
Ask my parents what an SJW is and they'll have no idea
That article was dumb as fuck
"This isn't a real intellectual organization for real intellectuals like myself unless it allows the shrieking harpies in"
Also "if you hang out with right wingers you're right wing"
And then a commenter sums it up better in less time
"The American left has moved from being center-left (with liberalism as its ideology) to progressivism and socialism.
The Donald Trump American Right has stayed closer to the middle, but given up on the OLD culture war issues like gay marriage by instead espousing more social libertarianism.
This has created a vacuum in the old center-left position that is now occupied by the IDW.
So the IDW is not right-wing, it’s just the American Left of 20 years ago."
That article was straight up trash. he cites vox and the data and society "report"
he never gives them the benefit of the doubt
and never questions what the left is actually doing
"To put it more concretely, when Rubin and Shapiro get together to do a show, are they bridging the political divide between left and right in order to find common ground, despite disagreeing on fundamental issues, or rather, are they simply setting aside their disagreements on things like gay marriage and abortion in order to focus on what truly matters to them politically: defeating the new left? I find the second description far more convincing, and indeed, it seems to me to apply to virtually all the IDW members."
Shapiro got on joe rogan and most of what they talked about were their differences. Also rubin and shapiro talk about their difference on same sex in every episode
"Once someone is immersed in a worldview where the left is characterised by intolerance of diverse opinions, mob behaviour, and divisive identity politics, it’s easy to produce a steady stream of articles and news segments confirming what they already believe."
Why is it so easy? Maybe the left is really doing all those things, and doing it lots of places, and not in small towns (like when they find the one christian baker who won't bake the cake)
"does it want to be genuinely non-partisan? If the latter, it needs to open itself up to new left people and ideas. "
Maybe it won't because those are the people who don't believe in free-speech (the one unifying ideal they have in the IDW). Maybe ask Brett weinstein what happened when he tried to engage those people at his school. Maybe Ask Rubin when he disagreed at his former employer. Maybe ask Jordon peterson what happened when he tried to engage those people at his former university. Maybe ask Ben shapiro when he tries to engage those people at universities. OH right the "new left" got violent and authoritarian.

Wait a second. Didn't they say they didn't use the SPLC when they spoke to Tim Pool on Joe Rogan?
Maybe they actually listened to him
Vijaya Gadde: "I I think that they have certainly reached out to our team members but they're certainly nothing definitive that we take from them"
Jack Dorsey: "we don't take action"
oops that was a lie
so they straight up lied to Joe and Tim's faces
And? They lie to everyone lol
I don't know why you are surprised. It's becoming a meme how quick tech firm CEOs are to lie to everyone, as well as how obvious those lies are.
CNN actually tweeted this
wow
They're still trying to do that apple shit?
"Well gee, I though they were bullshitting for clicks but then I saw that apple thing"
