The two 'fatal flaws lurking in American leftist politics': a humble attempt to help Jordan Peterson with his challenge

By Izzy Kalman - posted Tuesday, 12 June 2018


There are two simple, basic truths that the left – and the rest of us, too – need to recognize:

1) Subjective harm is different from objective harm,

2) Weakness does not make right.

We need to call to order anyone who denies either of these truths, just as we would denounce anyone who would argue for racial superiority.

Then the excesses of political correctness will be contained.
