That's interesting, because in Eastern Europe, the Left can, and sometimes really is, perceived as regressive.
Just an example: during the immigration crisis the leading newspaper in Poland run a series articles on how you can lose your job if you make critical comments about immigrants. This was really reminiscent of the socialist regime not so long ago, where people were rarely killed, but you could easily lose your job (and have real trouble finding another one!) because of just one critical remark. So if you really care about your family, you keep your opinions to yourself. It always amuses me when the media is surprised with the results of the elections then.
- szatkus 10y agoThere was no such thing. I remember one case when some guy was fired because his employer didn't like his comment on immigrants and that was pretty much all. No one from the left has ever claimed that people should be fired because of their opinions.
- dvfjsdhgfv 10y agoI don't mean people are actually being fired, just articles about it, with very clear message: watch out what you say. I was so surprised I wanted to take a picture of one of these. It was around the time when they called anti-immigrant march organizers "Nazi" and turned off comments for all articles on immigrants, Muslims and Islam. It's just like Peterson says - if people don't talk to each other, they become enemies.
