So, I should assume that you agree with everything Jordan Peterson says on these topics?
If that's what you're saying, then we have somewhere to start. If that's not what you're saying, then perhaps you'll list the subset of these "liberal and neo-Marxist views" you're so afraid of.

Marxism-neomarxist-post modern neomarxism-socialism and the like.
If anyone is an expert as to what has been happening on college campuses for years now with the indoctrination of our youth, he is.
GenZ is a manifestation of the cultural shift/divide that has been occurring.
How are they a manifestation? I don't see that you've made a good faith case.
Generally I am on board with PEW research giving fairly trustworthy results with little bias.
Generally I am on board with much of what I see and hear on FOX News say compared with MSNBC.
I’ve listened to enough of Jordan Peterson to know that he is a respected intellectual who’s views I have generally agree with.
If you’ve listened much to Jordan Peterson or listened to FOX news you will understand that the ‘cultural divide’ is real and has been in motion for a number of years now. In my mind there’s really not much up for discussion on that front.
I suppose that the one thing that I see as problematic is the now popular presentation of ‘victims’ and perpetrators of victimhood and all that this entails. The younger people have now been indoctrinated with ideas that government is the answer to society’s problems and that reparations are to be made to ‘victims’ even when the so called ‘perpetrators’ are not even perpetrators. The traditional values of
personal responsibility are then warped and turned on its head.
Government and governmental edicts become the norm. Almost religious in its intensity and application to the populace who are slowly becoming like sheep.
In order for civil society to exist different and divergent views need to be expressed. The Twitter Files are showing that governmental/media conglomerate influence is impacting the views and opinions of those that ought to be free to make
fair and balanced decisions. The universities, media, and government entities have been and are moving in the direction of Big Brother controlling and disseminating information.
That is a danger to civil society.
