    Thank you, that's really thoughtful and it seems like you've got some insight into academic psychology. It's ridiculous how much universities are seen as some left-wing bastion, despite still being full of transphobic cranks.

    It's also becoming obvious that the only career path these people have is catering to more and more deranged fascist weirdos. Once they get expelled out of polite society, usually by their own hand, the only money left is becoming an angry twitter personality.

      it's worth noting that both Peterson and Stock resigned on their own. in case of Peterson, i think it's safe to say he did it exactly because he can make easier money and get more admiration as a reactionary pundit, even though he claimed it was because his students are discriminated against for being white cishet dudes. yes, he basically admitted that literally anybody picking him for their phd is a white cishet dude.
