Everything you offset in quotes I only see as boxes with x-es in them. So I've got no idea what you pulled from the article that I spires your ire enough to accuse her of demonizing Jordan Peterson.

So I went back and reread it. Maybe I missed something the first time around. It happens.

I still don't see any demonization of Jordan Peterson. I see a softball criticism of him and the deliberate controversy he's creating and profiting off of and an acknowledgement that he's polarizing.

Interestiny, in your comment, you said, "Part of my own government's preparation for putting a rifle in my hand and sending me to war was dehumanization/demonization of "the enemy" to make it OK to go kill them. Standard stuff, not unique to any one country."

I agree. That happens.

In fact, that's exactly what Jordan Peterson and other like him are doing as Influencers. In a lot of ways social media and the internet at large are being established as battlefields as part of modern warfare.

Jordan Pererson is not acting on behalf of a rogue state, so far as we know (we don't know exactly who's paying him to spout his nonsense ideas), but he's certainly using that same tactic in order to enrich himself and he's doing so in a manner that makes it okay (propagandize) young men just like you were to consider women their enemies who need to be subjugated. For God and country.

It's no different.
