Jordan Peterson: The radical Left is guilt-tripping the West into oblivion

Dr Jordan Peterson discusses how to win the culture war, with insights from Soviet and Nazi dissidents who stood up against tyranny and compares their struggles with clampdowns on free speech today. He sits down with The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton in a wide-ranging discussion from why Britain was a miracle for the world to if he is addicted to Twitter:
On the culture wars:
“The right lacks vision. They play a rearguard game. They don't have a compelling story to tell young people. And because they're conscientious, conservatives are conscientious, it's easy to hoist them on the petard of guilt. And the psychopathic narcissists of the radical left are unbelievably good at that.”
On the personal versus the political:
“I think you have to get your psychological house in order before you can be even remotely effective politically in the fundamental sense. Otherwise, you're just a tool of ideology or your own ego.”
On Britain:
“English common law is a complete bloody miracle … what a phenomenal accomplishment. And so, yes, I think that makes Britain singular and worthy of tremendous admiration … It's a country that's suffering from far too much guilt at the moment.”
On Twitter:
“Twitter isn't optional, it's how I sample the culture. Is it a biased sample? Probably.”
On slavery:
“It was the British who decided hands down that slavery was wrong and then did something about it. And that is documented historical reality.”
On the EU and France:
“A lot of the centralising tendency that's characteristic of the EU can be laid at the foot of the same spirit that motivated the French, the French revolutionaries … I see the French Revolution in itself as a reflection of something deeper, which is the continuing manifestation of the spirit of Cain.”

The psychopaths have worked for decades to dumb down people through 'education' and 'culture' via mass media. So now they don't hide at all: they know the general population is very dumb as they have created their morality, their intellect, their analytical abiliry, their psychology. For a critical thinker point of view the world of the mass psychology makes no sense: it don't follow the rules of reason, nor the rule of interest. It follows the rules of conditionning by ivan pavlov and skinner. People are animals and have been tamed.

More manipulation, they swing us from left to right, always steadily getting more and more tyrannical. Study the history of 'democracy' on a macro scale to see this pattern. Many 'dissidents' are held up as heros like this by the media, how does that make sense? If Peterson was a genuine dissident, we would never have heard of him, unless we truly dug deep into the underground. He is an academic, playing his role, nothing more. They defined the playing field and still do. They need to provide an outlet for citiicism and resistence, like these interviews, so we feel like something is being, or will be, done. Meanwhile they continue to progress the program.

Wow - I think the Dostoevsky quote of "Every man is not only responsible for what he does but what everyone else does" is pure genius for those who can grasp the concept. It forces us to consider every consequence of every decision and action large or small. For example: Tribalism and wars only ever happen if we (each of us) allow differences to be amplified to the point of hatred and mistrust then allow psychopathic leaders into power that leverage that division into conflict. Clearly we are responsible and our elected "politicians" take that to the next level.

It was quite poetic how the spoken words matched the calm visual of an older man with a grey beard giving simplistic truth to a younger man in a natural peaceful setting. The truth was all around them yet because humans have the capacity to communicate though vibrations the complexity of language was just broken down by Jordan into simplicity and truth and then back again into the backdrop and the visual of the two men and what that represented and round and round it went.

As a leftist, I've been trying to get my fellow liberals to introspect and see this. They do not understand what it means to use 'black magic', which seeks to subvert conscious decision making by appealing to the unconscious needs, wants, and desires. The humility has been lost everywhere, and we are becoming increasingly small-minded - yet I believe it's those who have many of the right ideas and desire to improve things (the 'good left-handed path' or leftists who are well-intentioned but are 'captured') which need to break through it most of all. It's not a coincidence that there are certain leftists who met the same fate. JFK. MLK Jr. John Lennon. The options today are just an illusion. A hydra has many heads. More so, here on KZbin - it's predominant leftist channels whose comments are ferociously censored by an algorithm... and I mean FEROCIOUSLY.

My Nephew who is studying to become a Doctor was invited watch a recent football match against Chelsea, during half time he said to his friend that Chelsea were playing like a bunch of rent boys. His remark was overheard by a Chelsea Marshal who beckons to another near by Marshal and after a brief discussion they approached my nephew and escorted him from the ground, he explained that he was speaking to his friend only, he did not shout the words out, nor were his words meant to be heard by anyone other than his friend. The Marshals reported my nephew to the police and a few days later he was summoned to his local police station to answer for his ‘crime’ He was told to expect a banning order and receive a number of hours of work in the community. I do not believe it is an offense for two friends to describe their opponents as playing like a bunch of rent boys but because a third party over heard the words and may have taken offense, it now is a crime. The chanting which was prevalent during the match from both groups of supporters was, to say the least, offensive but not threatening but no action was taken. Both Marshals claimed to have heard the words although it would have been near impossible for the second Marshal to have heard the comment. Is this really how degraded our freedom of speech has become?
