not this one, it's quite uplifting if you read the whole thing, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a fantastic author

jordan peterson, professor at UoT has been fighting postmodernist SJWs for the last few weeks. he had a podcast with joe rogan about 3 weeks ago in which he completely fucking ruined the postmodern left and various other marxisms. he recomended that people read teh gulag archipeligo if they think marxism is a happy and fun ideology.

I've always liked him, but I imagine it's because he's a serious thorn in the side of every modern-day Marxist/Socialist/Champagne Socialist/etc.
