In the same way the fake left uses the environment to hook people into an interventionist narrative Archived Message Posted by Shyaku on February 25, 2019, 1:04 am, in reply to "The Jordan Peterson Phenomenon" In my opinion Peterson uses the uglier, and more universally offensive excesses of identity politics to try to hook people into a narrative of (paraphrasing) "you should only have yourself to rely on", "the strong should thrive" and "the environment? Pah, there is nothing that can be done" to give just three examples. If these obvious excesses did not exist, there would be much less opportunity for a Peterson to thrive. Manufacturing in the US really was gutted by global trade agreements and by off-shoring, and for the once proud communities who were affected, being told by the affluent and those who benefited "Now, now, don't be recist", for example, must be explosively infuriating. I can very well understand it, and the answer seems simple: Focus on lifting up working people. - Regards, Shyaku Message Thread: The Jordan Peterson Phenomenon - Jackie February 24, 2019, 4:25 pm In the same way the fake left uses the environment to hook people into an interventionist narrative - Shyaku February 25, 2019, 1:04 am There's probably an argument that you could use the he "didn't say that" line there - Bluefool February 25, 2019, 10:44 am Communities and individuals. - Shyaku February 26, 2019, 4:35 am Re: Communities and individuals. - dovetailjoint February 26, 2019, 6:35 am Sorry but it seems you've completely misunderstood my view - Bluefool February 26, 2019, 9:30 am Please enjoy your view :-) - Shyaku February 28, 2019, 5:21 pm   Searching
