> When I first saw those Peterson notables on the board, I thought to myself, "They have failed to take down Q, so the social engineers figure they will use this platform to attack one of their defectors (assuming he ever was a member of the intelligentsia)."
I think that's what's going on. Jordan Peterson was one of them. Peter Thiel was one of them. Jacob Appelbaum was one of them. On a smaller branch of the tree, Ian Miles Cheong was one of them. The in-group kicked them out to maintain ideological purity.
