This sounds so like Jordan Peterson! πŸ˜‚

"Post-modernists like Elmo don’t understand they actually advocate for mass killing – is that what you want? Well, then – no way. Sorry. Not me. I won’t stand for it.”

It just needs an "eh" at the end!

I love how Peterson whines about post-modernism while claiming to be a neurologist and only having a psychology degree.

I can't find him claiming that apart from a Reddit mention of a YouTube video which is unavailable (tried with VPN from Australia, Spain, UK).

Try Canada, I got a clip of it

That worked. Thanks. What a sleaze that guy is. I will cite this to shut down anyone who wants to praise him.

I see the old school The Onion has been reincarnated, in all its original surrealistic glory. This story is an absolute goddamned masterpiece.

Edit: It's not The Onion, it is far superior

This is probably one of the funniest satire pieces I've read in a while.
