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.

maybe I've moved in very polite circles, but it was something that was very rarely said. The shadow of the holocaust hangs long over Europe, even for those of us on the edge. Although I think that's going away *very fast* now.

most people did have the sense not to blather about it in public. there's also the thing where twitter is often a space to explore saying what you really think, i suppose, which always shocks and horrifies people who are bringing normal public discourse norms to it

I don't think "group X should be exterminated". I've never thought it. I've never, that I recall, said it. Unless I suffer a personality-changing brain hemmorage like my father, I don't believe I'll ever say it. The fact others can makes me feel a very great gulf from them.

it probably is a very great gulf yes
