    Okay but for further situations, “the training was great” is always an acceptable response. Maybe throw an “I can send you my feedback later through mail/hr survey”

    I mean Jesus

      I think I can provide some insight. In the mind of an alt-right person/Peterson-fan, there exists to them a “silent majority” who believes the same things they do, but are too afraid to speak up. This is the delusion that I was under, as well as the OP in the linked article who spoke out in the middle of class to lambast a trans person. In both situations, they think that others secretly agree with them and will come out of the woodwork to support them. Of course there’s no reason to assume that people are being quiet because they’re afraid, rather than because they actually disagree with you.

        Rather than imagine a full psychology mumbo jumbo, I just think he clearly lacks tact and maybe a bit of common sense which I get because maybe he was younger at the time?. You should never do politics/social issues at work, you just don’t. It’s bad shop policy for harmony at work places to touch a subject which might be sensitive to you or someone else and even yet if people do, you RESPECT them and their opinions. Going beyond that is just asking for trouble in my experience

      Give him a break, he is at least admitting his mistake and has reformed his opinions. I am sure it was a difficult journey, and he should be celebrated for making it out.
