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.

well, yes, but that is how societies function, and it's preferable to tribalist polygamy, where very few males monopolize all the females. I understood his point was that the reason societies do this is to prevent the later situation. Now, I understand he went on to say...

i like how you just breeze past the part where we abrogate the freedom of every single woman because "oh that's just what societies need to function"

though I haven't actually seen it, but I understand he went on to say, or imply, that males who fail to get a partner turn homicidal (hence the 'incel' shooter). That's the bit I think is crazy myself. We've had as many ppl turn shooter 'cos their youtube chan got demonitized.

yeah poke around his twitter feed a bit, he argues for enforced monogamy from the idea that ~failed males~ get violent
-
I have previously commented in another thread. The idea that 'failed males' get violent doesn't seem to have much evidence to support it. As for enforced monogamy, that is how our societies are currently set up, in the sense you can only marry one person.
-
not in any non-word-game sense, or why would all these reactionary assholes be advocating for a return to it, rolling back ~the sexual revolution~, as a cure for anything?
-
because, frankly, our society increasingly looks like it's coming apart, and 'wind the clock back' is the natural response to that. And as people don't know which clock to wind back or why, they will call for all of them.
