Brett Weinstein predicts a Trump landslide which is very interesting.

What do you mean? It's an opinion.

It's exactly what he's doing. Just because he and his wife worked in academia they are trying to beat the dead horse that they are liberals. Their words and beliefs betray them. Listening to these two is like listening to a QAnon video. The intellectual "dark web" indeed.

Which conservative values do you think Weinstein has?

Smaller government
Lower taxes
Anti-immigration
Christian moral dogma
Pro life
Opposition to public health care
Dismissal of global warming
Gun rights

How many times do you think he has voted Republican in his life vs Democrat?

It seems to me that so many of the so-called IDW came out of the woodwork because of censorship and political correctness, particularly on college campuses. They are largely liberals (both Weinsteins, Rogan, Harris) who gained some notoriety in right-wing circles because of their stances on free speech. With the obvious exceptions of Peterson and Shapiro (I exclude Rubin and Pool as they are simply grifting), these are liberals who are capitalizing on their newfound notoriety by occasionally teasing conservative talking points to stay relevant in conservative circles.

The labeling is hilarious, because if I posted articles by Weinstein or Peterson, and removed their name and told people to tell me what is wrong with what they are saying, most who probably agree.

As soon as a name is attached, people become dismissive and accuse them of being grifters or whatever else. Hilarious.

Peterson is actually a liberal. He's been/or was helping the DNC the last few years. He worked for the NDP in Edmonton for so long.

Why does it matter which way he leans politically if he makes a rational and objective argument over the stuff he cares about?

Have we really gotten to the place where we will instantly dismiss people because they have political leanings we disagree with?

This isn’t a conservative “value.” In fact, this position has no value.

I was replying to Red Slinger lumping Peterson with Shapiro.

Maybe you can offer up the key values and political positions held by liberals (and we’ll assume you mean the modern American sense of the term).

Ignore these guys - anybody right of Mao is a fascist. Brett Weinstein is pretty far to the left - he just doesn't kowtow to the wokesters, so all they can do is call him names and make up BS about him.

This.

I have also noticed that as soon as Weinstein came out and said both Trump AND Biden were losers, many on the left instantly labeled him as a right-wing hack.

Hilariously, as soon as we mentioned him in this thread, right along comes Lanny laughably doing exactly that. Almost hilarious how predictable he is.
