Here's a fantastic article that covers the absurdity of the "Intellectual Dark Web". I highly recommend anybody that's interested in this topic to read it. htt

  What an incredibly disingenuous/malicious hit piece, and proof of exactly what they are saying, because just about every MSM piece on any one of them is a hit piece. Let's see: Jordan Peterson was threatened by his university, and there have been petitions to get the university to fire him. What he predicted would happen happened pretty much exactly as he predicted it to Lindsay Shepard at Laurier University. Bret Weinstein and his wife were accosted by students wielding baseball bats, with the University refusing to protect them (the campus police was told to stand down against their will). Groups regularly try (and frequently succeed) to shut them down. For most of them, associating them with the alt-right or worse is ludicrous, but that is exactly the tactic used. Every. Single. Time. Never engagement with the ideas, always the personal hit piece and guilt by alleged association. The Wilfried Laurier faculty unironically said that playing a clip from the Canadian public broadcaster featuring JBP was the same as approvingly playing a Hitler clip. And yes, the tactic is backfiring, because we now have alternative media and alternative funding sources. That doesn't mean that it's not being attempted.
