Matthew Parris and Gerard Baker are 2 journalists who I find give a balanced view without pulling punches.

I never heard of either but I will check them out
Not everybody is persuaded that Peterson is a thinker of substance, however. Last November, fellow University of Toronto professor Ira Wells called him âthe professor of piffleâ â a YouTube star rather than a credible intellectual. Tabatha Southey, a columnist for the Canadian magazine Macleans, designated him âthe stupid manâs smart personâ.
We get our President or we dieâ: An FBI report warned of a âwarâ at the US Capitol before pro-Trump insurrectionists attacked it
This is not a question.
To you, maybe. But this still doesnât explain your inability to distinguish between observation and incitement.

A fair point. Nevertheless, this is one recent example of my concerns:
âHow does one effectively debate a man who seems obsessed with telling his adoring followers that there is a secret cabal of postmodern neo-Marxists hellbent on destroying western civilisation and that their campus LGBTQ group is part of it?â says Southey. âThereâs never going to be a point where he says: âYou know what? Youâre right, I was talking out of my ass back there.â Itâs very much about him attempting to dominate the conversation.â

Petersonâs constellation of beliefs attracts a heterogeneous audience that includes Christian conservatives, atheist libertarians, centrist pundits and neo-Nazis. This staunch anti-authoritarian also has a striking habit of demonising the left while downplaying dangers from the right. After the 2016 US election, Peterson described Trump as a âliberalâ and a âmoderateâ, no more of a demagogue than Reagan. In as much as Trump voters are intolerant, Peterson claims, it is the leftâs fault for sacrificing the working class on the altar of identity politics. Because his contempt for identity politics includes what he calls âthe pathology of racial prideâ, he does not fully endorse the far right, but he flirts with their memes and overlaps with them on many issues.

Oh really! Even if you believe he is bias I challenge you to watch the show and then using you intelligence explain to me if you agree or disagree with what he says on that episode.
That is what a political debate is. I have posted a video of a political commentator agreeing fully with the comments he has made. So again I say have a look and make a comment.
If you are not prepared to do that them you are nothing more than a troll who is using this platform to merely tout your own personal views.
Who are these people?? Although unlike you I will research them later today. Possibly because I am interested in reading other opinions.
If they are so wonderful why donât you post some of their articles so that they may be viewed and commented on.
Lets see if you have any credibility.

Yes like I said there are people who are just too stupid to understand what he is talking about.

Hello Blackduck.
Like some others, you appear to be under the belief that this thread is for debating politics. Clints first post makes clear that this is not the case
andâŚ
If itâs political debate youâre after, then perhaps a separate thread is needed where this can take place.
Peaceful BLM and Antifa protests. Violence is violence!
