Jordan B Peterson warns Congress of government-corporate collusion

Psychologist and author Jordan B Peterson faced US Congress on Thursday to warn them of a potential “superstate”. The “superstate” Peterson references sees a collusion between government and corporations that are allegedly “eliminating the private sphere.” Thursday’s hearing was held by a special panel of House members who focus on government “weaponisation”. Peterson and five other witnesses appeared in front of the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government. The six witnesses, including Peterson, testified on separate cases where banks refused to conduct business with Christian charities and conservative-leaning organisations, according to The Daily Signal. Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan asked Peterson during the hearing if the banks were “just going to stop with conservatives”. “The danger posed by this increasing ability of governments and large corporations to collude threatens everyone’s freedom equally,” Peterson said. “It could well be at the moment and I think this is the point Republicans here are trying to make is that the people in the sights of that collusion tend to have more conservative leanings, but that will shift in a moment whenever the political tides shift.”
