I've finally gotten around to watching some Jordan Peterson, after seeing someone calling for his 'followers' to be shot. This is an eloquent, rational man, and I've seen a lot of strong evidence that his detractors are a bunch of murderous loons.

I've been watching videos all night and I've not come across those opinions yet, but I think they come up later in his output, during the great 'incel panic' of 2018.
-
they're on his twitter and have been plastered about rather thoroughly
-
hmm, I'm kinda looking into his videos rather than his twitter. Twitter is a good way to misexpress yourself. Still, I probably will look at his twitter later.

He didn't really say 'enforce monogamy' though, from what I recall, he said the reason why societies often do that is to prevent a few males monopolizing all the females. I don't think that's a contraversial statement.
-
Well, I thought he meant 'enforced monogamy in law', as has been the norm in much of the world. If it's not in law it's not really enforced!
-
that's not strictly true, it depends on the strength of custom and whether there's a social safety net
-
I agree there's a lot of variants on the system, but I think monogamy has been a very common solution, historically speaking.
-
sure, that's the case if you think a trad going "oh, nice society you have here, too bad violent young men are gonna shred it in an orgy of ultraviolence, oh hey weren't these past enforced monogamy societies lovely" is pure description i have a bridge in Brooklyn on sale cheap
-
well yes, but the left (the new left, but they're the dominant left now) is telling me that violent men are going to shred it unless we adopt their policies. So really there's not daylight between the two sides on that issue.
-
frankly i think you have an extremely outdated idea of how much weight the voices you're talking about carry compared to how much they carried precisely two years ago

I would say actually advocating for those positions is non-mild, but simply entertaining them in a thought-experimenty way isn't
-
that's fair, but having declared one's intention to battle the eternal feminine in its manifestation as the dragon of chaos does skew my estimation of whether these are some interesting ideas one has just happened across and wanted to bounce off of everybody
-
when i put it like that it sounds so fun, though, i guess i should declare my intention to battle the eternal masculine in its manifestation as the scrubby white guy of order
-
Yeah, I've always wanted to slay a dragon tbh
