Cambridge University Rescinds my Fellowship | Jordan Peterson


I believe that the parties in question don’t give a damn about the perilous decline of Christianity, and I presume in any case that they regard that faith, in their propaganda-addled souls, as the ultimate manifestation of the oppressive Western patriarchy, despite their hypothetical allegiance to their own discipline.I think that it is no bloody wonder that the faith is declining (and with it, the values of the West, as it fragments) with cowards and mountebanks of the sort who manifested themselves today at the helm.I wish them the continued decline in relevance over the next few decades that they deeply and profoundly and diligently work toward and deserve.
