Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

Have I argued in favor of racism? I mean-- I haven't been getting a lot of sleep, so you never know-- but that doesn't sound like me.

I argue against the use of demographic identity to establish a narrative of victimhood and oppression, and then the extension of that concept through a guilt-of-association of ideas to shut down discourse. You say it's not common, and that those specific examples one can produce don't represent PC Left™.

I'd say my view of the PC Left is one of intolerance, and that it is expressed thus: as soon as certain trigger words, ideas or conditions are met, the PC Left person will do one or both of two things: (1) draw a line straight to the alt-right, with all the idiocy it entails (you've done this); or (2) just start shouting epithets (racist, sexist, "carrying the white supremacist script" and so on) such that no actual conversation can proceed.

When people start saying "La la la la. I'm not going to listen, because the 5 seconds of script I'm focusing on already show me that I'm right, and I've established what you are!" then we have no chance to discuss. When people are encouraged to use this stance as their norm, then the IQ of the society on the whole has dropped about 20 points.
