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.

ah, this is the government-mandated-gf thing? I'd be surprised if he actually supports that, but we shall see as I get into this more.

that's a construction of it, but i don't imagine for a moment that that's what JBP wants. he's said what he wants: "social convention favoring stable pair bonding". y'know, nice wholesome stuff like families sternly but lovingly teaching their scions to stay married

well, most people actually want that. Sorry to go all normie on your ass, but that's not a radical position or anything. That's how most people think, especially outside the western world.

if i were going to stop wanting human freedom just because most people don't want it, it probably would have happened by now

oh, I agree. All I'm saying is that I don't find Peterson's views particularly radical or outragous. I don't flip my lid over them. I've just unfollowed someone for calling for his followers to all be shot. That's what I find outragous. That's the level now.

wow, eliminationism about the outgroup, that's sure a new innovation that could only have come about in the current year

I didn't encounter it in daily life until... again, about 8 years ago. I found it utterly shocking then. Now I accept it as the new normal. But then I'm European, that has a bearing here.

i suppose, it's been a feature of American politics all my life
