Some employees at Random House Publishing asked the company not to publish Jordan Peterson’s new book. Apparently, several employees broke down crying.
One employee had this to say about Peterson:
“He is an icon of hate speech and transphobia and the fact that he’s an icon of white supremacy, regardless of the content of his book, I’m not proud to work for a company that publishes him.”
I’m tired of this. Whatever this is.
I’ve stood on the sidelines and watched this culture war brew. I’m done. You guys want to talk about this stuff? Fine, let’s talk about it.
But I’m going, to tell the truth, as I see it.
Jordan Peterson was, for a time, the central figure and lightning rod in this culture war. The irony of it all?
His ideas aren’t radical at all. That’s the state of society right now. Basic personal responsibility is now counter-culture.
It’s ridiculous. I’m done with it.
I’ve studied a lot of Peterson’s work. More than any of those Random House employees at least.
