When someone as mild as Peterson is considered to be too controversial, we have a broken politics, and most significantly a broken left. Soon we will have a broken society. The result, sooner or later, one way or another, is going to be a reboot back to more traditional society.

on the one hand, he has basic theory of mind about his political opponents and advocates good practices like "first put your house in order" on the other hand, "enforce monogamy", "gee does casual sex necessitate government tyranny" stating these calmly doesn't make them "mild"

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

you're doing the thing again, Chaos. When did I say that was particularly acceptable to me? I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

well, if things keep going downhill you must logically agree we will eventually get there, unless the trads also maintain and equal velocity of descent. Which is possible I guess.
