Would you feel the same way if the donations were going to the American Nazi party?

Politics aside, asking your employees to opine about pretty much everything is a fraught policy from an HR perspective, and terrible from a morale standpoint.

This should also serve as a reminder that there is no such thing as an “anonymous” system when it comes to HR, no matter what they say.

Yeah, corporate culture becomes a weird thing when you make work like college.

You listen to EconTalk with Russ Roberts? He had the authors of this on a few weeks ago.

Nice!

Hey, didn't you post the link to The Three Languages of Politics a while back? If that was you, that makes sense.

It's a really great podcast. I just started listening regularly within the last year or so. I'm going back listening to old episodes, I've heard almost everything since about mid 2015 at this point.

I did. In fact, that author was on EconTalk not too long ago.
Edit: I just realized that you probably heard that podcast and that's why it made sense to you that if I read the Arnold King piece I probably listed to EconTalk. I actually read Roberts' blog post about King first.

Is this a for real thread? I mean, are you all trolling and shitposting? I cannot tell. I'm so confused.

How perfect that the author's name is Marcie (Mars) Bianco (White)-- at first I thought it was just an ornate joke for the headline

This makes some compelling points; beyond a simple take-down of Peterson's rhetoric, it also examines the root of his popularity

That’s pretty fair, but Peterson sees himself as one of his mythical heros, so his wording and “teachings” shouldn’t be taken quite so literally in most cases.
