2. The strategic labeling of critical thinking as misconduct in order to preserve hierarchy.
Often appears in environments where administrative discretion is broad and oversight is minimal, allowing subjective interpretation (“attitude,” “misconduct,” “pattern”) to outweigh objective wrongdoing.

Jordan Peterson doesn't want people elevating intellect to the highest place because what that means is that Jordan Peterson will NEVER occupy the highest place.
Hym "And his daughter's a slut. And he wants to elevate her. So he need to KEEP INTELLECT... Lower on the conceptual ladder than filthy slut that flew to Romania to fuck a guy pretending to be me and cheat on her husband and then gets her lying charlatan ignoramus of a father to go up on stage and LIE about when marriages are over. I thought you said they should have to work it out and not get divorced? But ALSO... Marriages can be over long before they split up? And when the woman cheats it not because she wanted a fat cock... It's the man's fault. You are actually and actively the worst person I have ever seen. And I've watched women get raped at gunpoint and men get decapitated."

Get the intellectual honesty mug.An Intellectual Webster is a mental midget. It is a combination of the word Intellectual and Webster, taken from the 1980s comedy show Webster, starring Emmanuel Lewis. Lewis is a well known celebrity midget. Someone who makes statements that are factually incorrect, while purporting them as fact. Someone one who lacks the cerebral cognitive ability to formulate a sentence. Mispronunciation, misspelling of words, or an individual who only speaks using words with no more than one syllable because anything over that, would immediately cause sensory overload and a breakdown of any remaining brain cells left. These are just some of the hallmarks of being an Intellectual Webster.
Joe: I just had a conversation with a mental midget. She mispronounced every word, spoke only using words that had only one syllable, and couldn’t make one factual statement. She just regurgitated the usual cliched and erroneous talking points of her party. I had to walk away for my own mental well being. A real Intellectual Webster.
