Goodreads asked Neboysha Saikovski:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Neboysha Saikovski I’m reading “12 Rules” by Jordan Peterson. Love his quote ‘Without free speech, there is no true thought.’ He is a truth-telling sage who inspired millions and is needed now even more in this time of hypocritical ‘political correctness’ principle gone mad. Peterson is the most prominent, striking example I’ve yet seen of an unfortunate trend in modern communication. Lately, in the media, I only see criticism, very malicious. Obviously, there is something more to that criticism, as if there’s an agenda as if it were a witch hunt. Someone has to fall, some person, some big-name has to be the main culprit for everything. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and various news hosts all feature and reward this rhetorical technique. First, a person says something. Then, another person restates what they purportedly said so as to make it seem as if their view is offensive, hostile, or absurd as such. That’s what attracted me to him most, as his interviews have so many moments of this kind so you can’t help but wonder what drives the interviewers to keep inflating the nature of Peterson’s claims, instead of addressing what he actually said.
