The first victim of authoritarianism is language
How have we ended up in a society where defender of the liberal cause, Jordan Peterson, can be widely (mis)characterised as a neo-nazi; transgender activist, Theryn Meyer, can be (mis)characterised as an enemy of transexuals; and Jewish Harvard professor, Steven Pinker, can be (mis)characterised as a supporter of anti-semites? Even the black writer of this article has been accused of being a “white person in virtual blackface” and “not really black”.
The anti-racism racist. The transphobic transgender. The jew-hating jew. The anti-black, fake-black white man.
