Oh yeah, Jordan Peterson travelled to Hungary and personally met with Victor Orban, a meeting in which the pair discussed political correctness. Orban, the president of Hungary, has banned the teaching of Women's Studies.

He has forced a George Soros-funded university to literally leave the country.

Yet Peterson, without a hint of irony, meets with Mr. Orban to discuss the dangers of political correctness, which is evidently the most totalitarian thing in existence.

Sarcasm aside, I want people to consider the inverse case: of a leftist figure like (say) Noam Chomsky travelling to a socialist country which bans the teaching of "Capitalist Economics", meeting with its leaders, and discussing the preservation of freedom of speech. Would anyone, let alone conservatives, seriously believe that Chomsky was making a principled stand against censorship?
That's a rhetorical question. It would almost certainly be perceived as a vulgar attempt to spread propaganda and disinformation, an attempt to cover up very serious repression of academic freedom — far worse repression than banning a dozen or so speakers from college campuses.
