I think the issue is capitalism has gone out of control. There is a balance to be struck. Full on capitalism doesn't work when you don't manage facets of it. Socialism doesn't work because it puts people in a position of resentment and ultimately poverty. Regulate capitalism in a proper manner.

There's nothing new. This has been going on for thousands of years.

Group think is the basis of communism/socialism. The idea of it is that you "will" agree with the state or that you "will" be on the receiving end of its brutality.
I've always loved Jordan, but one of the things that really adds value to his contributions is that his insights slow cook and then reveal themselves later down the line, often in an explosive manner! Occasionally I've had that "aha! moment" when something he was saying years ago just mapped onto reality so perfectly. Makes me realize that this man is ahead of many of us, certainly of myself. Such an enriching figure on multiple levels, and this is coming from someone with a strong affiliation to eastern traditions and spirituality more broadly.

@@kavogaming5352 i havent writen them out, and its hard to explain, but a lot of what he says about the identity politics game for example, how it would eventually lead to more sinister things. A few years ago, to me, stuff like gender ideology, equity, racial quotas, were just modern superficial disagremants between people with different political inclinations, but he warned us from the get go that it is serious. Unravelling the causes behind what seperates people in these matters (socially, spiritually, psycologically) has been such a rich journey and his input has been a constant spearhead in many matters. More recently his focus on Narratives and how the stories we tell ourselves ultimately shape our reality, is also really juicy. I like to think of thinking, really as a dynamic process of self Discovery, rather than "x is the right answer", and Peterson (like many others) feeds into that nicely.
Are you kidding me? If White people embraced racial consciousness and collectivized it would solve 90% of the Western world's problems over night. The problem is an anti-White agenda in actual White countries. It's a no-brainer why this would cause conflict.

My Great Grandfather was murdered in his own home when Russia fell to communism. My Grandfather escaped and helped many others to do so as well.

I used to work for a company that fixed robots in factories, and there was a team leader for our work group who would throw his paycheck away at casinos and strippers (he was married with a daughter, btw). And he was absurdly obese, too. And after a weekend of wasting his paycheck, he would grumble about credit card debt, and how the company wasn't paying him enough, and how it wasn't fair my genes allowed me to stay slim.
Rugged individualism. Self determination, freedom of expression and self reliance. These things I have embraced in my life. I am a 67 year old Blacksmith and Timber Framer. Husband, Father and Grandfather. My wife and I are building our dream cabin in the mountains with our own hands from lumber we milled ourselves after raising a family and renting our entire lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. It goes way beyond politics. As Joseph Campbell said "A Vital person vitalizes those around him" By saving yourself you save the world by example. Our little plot of land is our salvation , our refuge and sanctuary. Not only for us but for our children and children's children. A person who plants a tree knowing that they will never sit in it's shade has begun to understand the meaning of life. I know that others are taking notes on what we are doing. I tell everyone..."You can do it too"
This is what happens when people are no longer responsible for themselves. They want the same things that the hard working and educated have, but without the effort. They are the product of bad parenting, and programs like “everybody is a winner”. It de incentivizes those that put in the hard work, and makes the non workers believe they should win no matter what. They can’t stand to see others flourish. What they really don’t want is equality or equity, what they want is PRIVILEGE.
You cannot say it enough; Communism and Faschisim (sic) is the same in it's outcome. Our struggle is on a personal level, what do we enable or who do we enable.
Only someone historically illiterate would believe that. All the great empires in history started out fascistic, but slowly declined when they began tolerating multi-racialism. Communism by contrast has been a massacre every single time it's been attempted. No comparison whatsoever. And fyi: Jordan Peterson coauthored the UN migration compact, and decorated a large portion of his home with communist propaganda. Trusting this guy is gullible in the extreme.
When you say [sic] it means it's an intentional misspelling in a quote. If you don't know how to spell something you'd write fashchism [sp?]. This lets people know you're aware of your mistake.
I do wish journalists (most, if not all), who once stood for freedom of speech, wake up and see where this is heading. Also, George Orwell's books should be mandatory reading, because that is what they are coming for next.
@@freeraiderfranc8785 It was a notice and a warning, yes. It was probably not meant to predict a future. Animal Farm is the same type of warning and notice. Not a prediction.
Nothing should be made mandatory reading. This is the kind of thinking that causes these problems in the first place. Intelligence, critical thinking, education, etc.. can not be forced. I am not trying to bust your chops, just disagree with you on the mandatory part. I too highly recommend those books as well as many others. So many of these topics have been covered for over two-thousand years from Greece to Rome to the rest of Europe and England. Sadly the core of Western Ideas and culture are being murdered.
Issues like identity politics and the outcomes those ideas, ideologies, have to be well known to the politicians that are pushing them. I don't know how that does not make those politicians traitors to the countries they server. The wealthy and the politicians, judiciary, and academia they own are creating chaos, purposefully.
For me and for so many others, Dr. Peterson is an extraordinarily positive addition to clarity of thought. His erudition and rigor are very helpful to those, like myself, who haven’t read all the books, had all those brilliant conversations with leading public intellectual, and, it must be recognized, treated all those presenting for psychotherapy, and seen al those crippling emotional/psychological traumas too many of us dismiss as irrelevant to how societies/cultures function. He offers a great deal of light on a wide variety of public/private problem. However, while he has commented copiously on the depredations of Left woke extremism in the Academy and government, he has not been as forthright about the thuggish extremism of the Right. That is too bad. My belief is that our social and political lives have been diminished by the immaturities of extremism, irrespective of its providence! Whether it is a lack of impulse control, magical thinking, lack of empathy for others or lack of resilience (hardiness), these developmental emotional immaturities are personal problems of adolescent adults, not failures of society, as many social failures as there may be. The blame game, and its resultant tribalism may win elections, but we kick our larger problems down the road to the detriment of our children and their futures. It is past time to turn our critical lenses on ourselves, rather than on “the other!”
Marxism is a more immediate and real threat than Tribalism. BOTH need to be dealt with, but the priority is Marxism. If that isn’t dealt with FIRST, we won’t survive to deal with the Tribalism.
While I agree that extremism from either the left ir right must be dealt with, the real threat at the moment isn’t coming from the right. It’s coming from the left.
Imagine our current Leader said by 2030 we won’t be using any type of fossil or gas for energy. Regulations on energy, food and transportation is being choked off purposefully because remember hungry, sick and cold individuals are easier to control.
Yes, I am from USSR and they were a living proof of striving for equality of the result and not an equality of effort. Now we have the oppressor and the oppressed obsession in the the West and USA. We are watching the outcome of this mentality and politics in real life and it is very scary
“The alternative to Identity Politics is to live the mythologically heroic life of an individual.” I doubt most people truly understand the deeply profound truth of that statement. ❤
Equality of Outcome is NEVER reality.. It was always supposed to mean only "Equality of Opportunity". Otherwise, you devalue the degree, if all effort is meaningless and you can simply be this season's popular minority and do nothing and get the same degree as someone with a higher IQ who did the work. This trend may explain why you can have a Harvard degree and yet still be incompetent. The degree, in such cases, ends up meaningless - like hyperinflated currency. If all you need to have a lot of money is to print it into oblivion, it carries no value in the end: there is no talent, no labor, no collateral, nothing at all backing that worthless piece of paper.
Equality of opportunity is also a pipe dream. We're all presented with different opportunities in life, and it's on us to act on what we're each given. Just about every form of equality is functionally unachievable, for that matter. So long as we're separate distinct organisms and not some amorphous flesh blob agglomeration there will never be real equality, and frankly I like my corporeal form.
@sol-hunter2332 pursue any of them you want, just keep in mind this is not a perfect world and there's only one perfect judge and He's not sitting in any human courts of law.
There are not enough of us “living the Mythologically Heroic life as an individual” ( by which he means “live a life of Faith and Morality) to offset the culturally corrosive life of the self now running rampant through the culture and the society.
Am I misunderstanding you completely? Did Jordan just not explain that prioritising the idea of the self is the cure to this madness? And that what's corroding this world is the whole idea of grouping people into identity boxes, stripping them of their individuality, of their responsibility to act on their own accord? You can also quite easily see that "Faith and Morality" are far from being a good solution to our societies. Look at religious oppression; the crusades, the modern jihad... The only reason these happen (as well as politically/culturally/racially motivated battles) is exactly because the people behind them are not self-actualised, and would rather die in the name of their group identity (of faith and morality), without a care in the world for their own wellbeing or that of the individuals they are harming/killing.
And when it does happen....and doesn't work...how long is the road back?....and how many lives lost and poverty! We cannot let history keep repeating this!!!!!
"The successful farmers took your lands - they drove your people onto unfertile land to scratch a living off rocks. Take back what's yours - burn every successful village!" - Saruman (paraphrased).
This reminds me of someone that was discussing the rise of communism in Europe, with communist flags flying in so many big cities around Europe, including Berlin. And no matter how much I think about this, I cannot imagine how Berlin has come to this. The Berlin wall fell nearly 35 years ago - within the life time of so many people in Germany - and they hail communism like if it hadn't absolutely destroyed East Germany a few decades ago.
I knew a first generation Ukrainian kulak, family was persecuted, had all the horror stories. He became a teacher for LAUSD and after that he sounded like the communists that persecuted his family. Human nature is strange.
In the beginning of the video, they talk about how the Soviets demonized the kulaks, and it ended in blood... A few years after that, also in the 1930's, another guy (with a little mustache) did the same thing, to primarily 2 difference groups... the Jews, and the Slavs. Everyone knows what happened with the first group. The result of the second is less well-known as being a direct cause-and-effect, but it is... and that is how horribly brutal the fighting was on the Eastern Front during WWII. At about the same time, the Imperial Japanese demonized "Yanks"... leading to THAT fighting being so brutal between the US and Japan... and again, everyone knows how that ended. Then, much like the very first example, at the beginning of the video, Mao did the same thing with his own peasant farmers in China... leading to the same results... only about 10 times worse.
The process of making larger farms and eliminating smaller, less efficient ones also took place in the capitalist USA. Look up the Great Depression, Okies, and read the fictionalized account The Grapes of Wrath. Was it as bad..no. people weren't executed the state, at the behest of banks just used violence to kick farmers off the land their families had worked for generations.
The language is crucial in this. Equality is a concept being weaponised. The egalitarian has a way of flipping into authoritarian expression and outcomes. It's almost as though policy implementation takes it there inevitably. Good to listen to this conversation. Thank you.
"Freedom loving Australia won't let that happen here." I call that the BUGS BUNNY ARGUMENT. Remember Bugs Bunny would say "Say, Doc. I'd never yank your ear, twist yer nose and stomp on your foot." All the while he's yanking, twisting and stomping. But remember that General would say, "You might, rabbit. You might." It's EXACTLY what they will do if we aren't vigilant and are passified with soothsayers.
Identity Politics - Thinking of people, first and foremost, as members of groups rather than individuals. Thinking of people, first and foremost, as individuals rather than members of groups is a learned and perishable skill. Identity politics lets people think that they know more about people than they actually do because there are fewer groups than individuals.
When people are part of a group they can not think in a critical way. It's all emotion based. When alone individuals come up with ways to solve problems then they go to the group with a plan. When groups form without a plan you get chaos. Especially in times of civil unrest. Just look at people now. They can't even go to a sporting event or a music concert without many issues arising. People are so brainwashed by identity politics it is destroying our society.
The problem is, what happens when dominance as an idea is deeply resented, and at the same time, there's a half conscious popular notion that dominance and truth are one and the same? In that case, it's no surprise why persons within groups that detest dominance also show absolutely no regard for truth. If the truth is whatever comes to dominate, and we must eschew dominance at every turn, then so too must we eschew truth at every turn.
Thanks guys. We need a word to describe the logical and manipulative misuse of categories and classifications. This is a large part of the basis of Marxism, etc. Groups can not possess basic individual attributes for the most part. Data analysts are familiar with this fallacy. Suggest "genophilia", but it's having a single term that is important, not the actual term.
On a rate to 10 how much worse did it get? So far where I live in Europe, the internet feels like madness and reality feels alright. Except for politics and the upcoming violence in the cities.
"Cultural Marxism ends in blood." This is historically true, but even truer is the historical fact of religious hegemony. We should guard against both, not take sides as Petersen has done.
Reminds me of a quote from the bible "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God." Interesting that the law was to require people to turn in EVERY seed. Seems the devil is in the details even when people don't believe.
Calling Ukraine in early 1930's " a region pathetically unable to feed itself" is like calling jews in nazi Germany "people pathetically unable to protect themselves". Ukraine could well feed itself, but USSR wanted to show the world how prosperous and great it was. Especially, in contrast to West, which was suffering the Great Depression. So, the Soviet soldiers were taking all of the harvested food to export it to US and Europe later. Those, who refused to give up their food, were executed.
Well, they _were_ unable to protect themselves. Had they had arms, leadership, and the will to stand up against evil, the end result could have been different. There's no virtue in being weak and powerless, and JP talks about this as well.
@@snowflakemelter1172 I think it's much better to say that the Ukraine was unable to feed itself BECAUSE the Soviets interfered. "After", implies that it might be a simple correlation, or even a random coincidence, rather than the direct cause and effect that it actually was.
With modern schooling, people don't think much, they "feel". As such they don't feel as the other person does have the same as they do. They are more important than others. Unless of course they can show off for some cause, in which case they're still making themselves better than the "poor people" that they claim to be doing something for. The other thing is that most of these people talk about their "rights" but never seem to mention the responsibility that comes along with it. They ignore it and act as if they have none.
Worth looking up the interview with Bertrand Russell where he talks about meeting Lenin here… Not only does it support what JP said regarding the Kulaks, but is worse… Lenin laughed about doing it
Hope this doesnt sound too prescriptive: all students need to study Animal farm between age 11 and 13, and then 14 to 16 study 1984. The more able should also do Brave New World. Their exams at 16: the weaker students can use Animal Farm as their text, the Middle can compare Animal Far and 1984, the top end compare and contrast 1984 within BNW. This would allow true scope since Animal Farm is very accessible, and you can do a uni dissertation on 1984 and BNW. Through this the population would have some form of common underlying understanding and language which should make them less susceptible to and help to prevent, well, you know the rest....
Aye study a kids book I have a similar idea let's have kids learn basic economics alongside the communist thinkers books then see what the kids can comprehend and let's save this till their at least in high school , I've read 1984 and animal farm and I enjoyed them but animal farm is not as useful as a historical view of the communist revolution and 1984 although a great book is nothing more than a book about helplessness I haven't read brave new world but I doubt it's value compared to real life
@@RichardEnglander I'ma shoot straight with you man, if you think that animal farm is a consistently accurate depiction of the Soviet revolution then you need to read more nonfiction texts, as far as 1984 goes, maybe, I read it in my freshman year and I could've missed some subtleties or whatever

Jordan is a antiwhite. Identity politics is what white people need to defend their group against the antiwhiteism thats destroying the west.

He is excellently describing Groupthink.

You can apply this to the religion of peace. They work on the same model.
Group think is the basis of communism/socialism. The idea of it is that you "will" agree with the state or that you "will" be on the receiving end of its brutality.

If they teach it to them they will not follow the indoctrination of the government and elites.
You are 100% correct! I left the teaching profession because my hands were increasingly tied as far at teaching real history.
The teachers are part of the problem
It's scary when I think of the oppressed groups fighting each other for resources because they are all entitled to something.
I've always loved Jordan, but one of the things that really adds value to his contributions is that his insights slow cook and then reveal themselves later down the line, often in an explosive manner! Occasionally I've had that "aha! moment" when something he was saying years ago just mapped onto reality so perfectly. Makes me realize that this man is ahead of many of us, certainly of myself. Such an enriching figure on multiple levels, and this is coming from someone with a strong affiliation to eastern traditions and spirituality more broadly.
He believes "life is all malevolence, suffering and tragedy." Only a chronically depressed ex-addict could want you to believe THAT lie.

What kind of insights for example?
@@kavogaming5352 i havent writen them out, and its hard to explain, but a lot of what he says about the identity politics game for example, how it would eventually lead to more sinister things. A few years ago, to me, stuff like gender ideology, equity, racial quotas, were just modern superficial disagremants between people with different political inclinations, but he warned us from the get go that it is serious. Unravelling the causes behind what seperates people in these matters (socially, spiritually, psycologically) has been such a rich journey and his input has been a constant spearhead in many matters.
More recently his focus on Narratives and how the stories we tell ourselves ultimately shape our reality, is also really juicy. I like to think of thinking, really as a dynamic process of self Discovery, rather than "x is the right answer", and Peterson (like many others) feeds into that nicely.
Not sure how old this is, 4 years?, but boy it has aged well. A younger angrier Jordon, completely on point and exactly as its turning out.
Are you kidding me? If White people embraced racial consciousness and collectivized it would solve 90% of the Western world's problems over night. The problem is an anti-White agenda in actual White countries. It's a no-brainer why this would cause conflict.

I used to work for a company that fixed robots in factories, and there was a team leader for our work group who would throw his paycheck away at casinos and strippers (he was married with a daughter, btw). And he was absurdly obese, too. And after a weekend of wasting his paycheck, he would grumble about credit card debt, and how the company wasn't paying him enough, and how it wasn't fair my genes allowed me to stay slim.

The evil of blame shifting and refusing to have discipline.
Rugged individualism. Self determination, freedom of expression and self reliance. These things I have embraced in my life. I am a 67 year old Blacksmith and Timber Framer. Husband, Father and Grandfather. My wife and I are building our dream cabin in the mountains with our own hands from lumber we milled ourselves after raising a family and renting our entire lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. It goes way beyond politics. As Joseph Campbell said "A Vital person vitalizes those around him" By saving yourself you save the world by example. Our little plot of land is our salvation , our refuge and sanctuary. Not only for us but for our children and children's children. A person who plants a tree knowing that they will never sit in it's shade has begun to understand the meaning of life. I know that others are taking notes on what we are doing. I tell everyone..."You can do it too"
This is what happens when people are no longer responsible for themselves. They want the same things that the hard working and educated have, but without the effort. They are the product of bad parenting, and programs like “everybody is a winner”. It de incentivizes those that put in the hard work, and makes the non workers believe they should win no matter what. They can’t stand to see others flourish. What they really don’t want is equality or equity, what they want is PRIVILEGE.
This is all being encouraged by the beast system, including your contempt for the lower orders.
Congratulations. Yet another win for them.🎉
Why not just do away with the "lazy"?. You folks on the right know you want to. Everyone has to EARN their life, right?

Good work John for enabling Jordan to reach the world
You cannot say it enough; Communism and Faschisim (sic) is the same in it's outcome. Our struggle is on a personal level, what do we enable or who do we enable.
Only someone historically illiterate would believe that. All the great empires in history started out fascistic, but slowly declined when they began tolerating multi-racialism. Communism by contrast has been a massacre every single time it's been attempted. No comparison whatsoever.
And fyi: Jordan Peterson coauthored the UN migration compact, and decorated a large portion of his home with communist propaganda. Trusting this guy is gullible in the extreme.
Are you quoting someone? Why did you include [sic]?
@cyclicozone2072 maybe cause they can't spell it ?
WEF salutes you
When you say [sic] it means it's an intentional misspelling in a quote. If you don't know how to spell something you'd write fashchism [sp?].

Thank you, Gentlemen. Your passion and dedication to our ongoing well-being / survival is appreciated.
full off insight and truth. JP and Doug Murray seem appreciated down under. Bravo.
I do wish journalists (most, if not all), who once stood for freedom of speech, wake up and see where this is heading. Also, George Orwell's books should be mandatory reading, because that is what they are coming for next.
All of the important moral stories are now banned or simply removed for the curriculum and school libraries.
They never stood for free speech, and Orwell is not our problem, Huxley is.
1984 was a notice, not an anticipation fiction.
@@freeraiderfranc8785 It was a notice and a warning, yes. It was probably not meant to predict a future. Animal Farm is the same type of warning and notice. Not a prediction.
Nothing should be made mandatory reading. This is the kind of thinking that causes these problems in the first place. Intelligence, critical thinking, education, etc.. can not be forced. I am not trying to bust your chops, just disagree with you on the mandatory part. I too highly recommend those books as well as many others. So many of these topics have been covered for over two-thousand years from Greece to Rome to the rest of Europe and England. Sadly the core of Western Ideas and culture are being murdered.
Issues like identity politics and the outcomes those ideas, ideologies, have to be well known to the politicians that are pushing them. I don't know how that does not make those politicians traitors to the countries they server. The wealthy and the politicians, judiciary, and academia they own are creating chaos, purposefully.
For me and for so many others, Dr. Peterson is an extraordinarily positive addition to clarity of thought. His erudition and rigor are very helpful to those, like myself, who haven’t read all the books, had all those brilliant conversations with leading public intellectual, and, it must be recognized, treated all those presenting for psychotherapy, and seen al those crippling emotional/psychological traumas too many of us dismiss as irrelevant to how societies/cultures function. He offers a great deal of light on a wide variety of public/private problem.
However, while he has commented copiously on the depredations of Left woke extremism in the Academy and government, he has not been as forthright about the thuggish extremism of the Right. That is too bad.
My belief is that our social and political lives have been diminished by the immaturities of extremism, irrespective of its providence! Whether it is a lack of impulse control, magical thinking, lack of empathy for others or lack of resilience (hardiness), these developmental emotional immaturities are personal problems of adolescent adults, not failures of society, as many social failures as there may be.
The blame game, and its resultant tribalism may win elections, but we kick our larger problems down the road to the detriment of our children and their futures. It is past time to turn our critical lenses on ourselves, rather than on “the other!”
Marxism is a more immediate and real threat than Tribalism.
BOTH need to be dealt with, but the priority is Marxism. If that isn’t dealt with FIRST, we won’t survive to deal with the Tribalism.
While I agree that extremism from either the left ir right must be dealt with, the real threat at the moment isn’t coming from the right. It’s coming from the left.
Trump's win could be an extreme danger for democratic values, too.
nailed it again , Jordan !
“Carelessly compassionate”
This phrase should be used by all of us who wish to push back against all the DEI insanity.

Imagine our current Leader said by 2030 we won’t be using any type of fossil or gas for energy. Regulations on energy, food and transportation is being choked off purposefully because remember hungry, sick and cold individuals are easier to control.
Individuals are easy to control. JP's cult of the individual is very useful to the establishment and he is paid handsomely for his service.
Yes, I am from USSR and they were a living proof of striving for equality of the result and not an equality of effort. Now we have the oppressor and the oppressed obsession in the the West and USA. We are watching the outcome of this mentality and politics in real life and it is very scary
Well Putin isn't he the embodiment of state control and war mongering?
“The alternative to Identity Politics is to live the mythologically heroic life of an individual.”
I doubt most people truly understand the deeply profound truth of that statement. ❤
Nicely put.
Disney and Bud Light are finding out how true this is.
Peterson’s voice will become the most important over the next ten years.
Equality of Outcome is NEVER reality.. It was always supposed to mean only "Equality of Opportunity". Otherwise, you devalue the degree, if all effort is meaningless and you can simply be this season's popular minority and do nothing and get the same degree as someone with a higher IQ who did the work. This trend may explain why you can have a Harvard degree and yet still be incompetent. The degree, in such cases, ends up meaningless - like hyperinflated currency. If all you need to have a lot of money is to print it into oblivion, it carries no value in the end: there is no talent, no labor, no collateral, nothing at all backing that worthless piece of paper.
Equality of opportunity is also a pipe dream. We're all presented with different opportunities in life, and it's on us to act on what we're each given.
Just about every form of equality is functionally unachievable, for that matter. So long as we're separate distinct organisms and not some amorphous flesh blob agglomeration there will never be real equality, and frankly I like my corporeal form.
@@alexvesper7820equality under the law is the only equality i think should be pursued.
@sol-hunter2332 pursue any of them you want, just keep in mind this is not a perfect world and there's only one perfect judge and He's not sitting in any human courts of law.
Thanks John, Jordan. We need this said more often by public figures.
Dr. Peterson is illustrating that the unique to humans "ability to reason" is indeed a 2 edged sword that's used for evil more than it is for good.
Subbed. Any channel that has Jordan Peterson has my ear. Ty for sharing this & hearing his views. He speaks from his heart & I respect that. Kudos 👍
There are not enough of us “living the Mythologically Heroic life as an individual” ( by which he means “live a life of Faith and Morality) to offset the culturally corrosive life of the self now running rampant through the culture and the society.
Am I misunderstanding you completely? Did Jordan just not explain that prioritising the idea of the self is the cure to this madness? And that what's corroding this world is the whole idea of grouping people into identity boxes, stripping them of their individuality, of their responsibility to act on their own accord?
You can also quite easily see that "Faith and Morality" are far from being a good solution to our societies. Look at religious oppression; the crusades, the modern jihad... The only reason these happen (as well as politically/culturally/racially motivated battles) is exactly because the people behind them are not self-actualised, and would rather die in the name of their group identity (of faith and morality), without a care in the world for their own wellbeing or that of the individuals they are harming/killing.
And when it does happen....and doesn't work...how long is the road back?....and how many lives lost and poverty! We cannot let history keep repeating this!!!!!
"The successful farmers took your lands - they drove your people onto unfertile land to scratch a living off rocks. Take back what's yours - burn every successful village!" - Saruman (paraphrased).
This reminds me of someone that was discussing the rise of communism in Europe, with communist flags flying in so many big cities around Europe, including Berlin. And no matter how much I think about this, I cannot imagine how Berlin has come to this. The Berlin wall fell nearly 35 years ago - within the life time of so many people in Germany - and they hail communism like if it hadn't absolutely destroyed East Germany a few decades ago.
So true
I really appreciate this interview. Their perspective fleshed out in this articulate manner was intriguing to me. I found it thought provoking.
This fundamental premise has been around for the last few hundred years and has caused the vast majority of irrational mass misery in the world.
H. L. Mencken: "Whenever A annoys or injures B on the pretense of saving or improving X, A is a scoundrel.”
“Carelessly compassionate.” Good one, Mr. Peterson.
It's all about the Uniformity, Inequality, Exclusion, and Inaccessibility...
A strange paradox in society of wanting people to accept diversity on one side but calling for equality on the other ....
Peterson perfectly describes the course curriculum at Norfolk State “University”. Go take what’s yours. You’re entitled to it all.
And we can now see it in harvard,MIT, Penn State,etc. The new intelligentsia.
I knew a first generation Ukrainian kulak, family was persecuted, had all the horror stories. He became a teacher for LAUSD and after that he sounded like the communists that persecuted his family. Human nature is strange.
THANKS BROTHER.
In the beginning of the video, they talk about how the Soviets demonized the kulaks, and it ended in blood...
A few years after that, also in the 1930's, another guy (with a little mustache) did the same thing, to primarily 2 difference groups... the Jews, and the Slavs.
Everyone knows what happened with the first group.
The result of the second is less well-known as being a direct cause-and-effect, but it is... and that is how horribly brutal the fighting was on the Eastern Front during WWII.
At about the same time, the Imperial Japanese demonized "Yanks"... leading to THAT fighting being so brutal between the US and Japan... and again, everyone knows how that ended.
Then, much like the very first example, at the beginning of the video, Mao did the same thing with his own peasant farmers in China... leading to the same results... only about 10 times worse.
The process of making larger farms and eliminating smaller, less efficient ones also took place in the capitalist USA. Look up the Great Depression, Okies, and read the fictionalized account The Grapes of Wrath. Was it as bad..no. people weren't executed the state, at the behest of banks just used violence to kick farmers off the land their families had worked for generations.
The language is crucial in this. Equality is a concept being weaponised. The egalitarian has a way of flipping into authoritarian expression and outcomes. It's almost as though policy implementation takes it there inevitably. Good to listen to this conversation. Thank you.
"Freedom loving Australia won't let that happen here." I call that the BUGS BUNNY ARGUMENT. Remember Bugs Bunny would say "Say, Doc. I'd never yank your ear, twist yer nose and stomp on your foot." All the while he's yanking, twisting and stomping.
But remember that General would say, "You might, rabbit. You might." It's EXACTLY what they will do if we aren't vigilant and are passified with soothsayers.
That is what happened in Cuba, my country …
Identity Politics - Thinking of people, first and foremost, as members of groups rather than individuals.
Thinking of people, first and foremost, as individuals rather than members of groups is a learned and perishable skill. Identity politics lets people think that they know more about people than they actually do because there are fewer groups than individuals.
When people are part of a group they can not think in a critical way. It's all emotion based. When alone individuals come up with ways to solve problems then they go to the group with a plan. When groups form without a plan you get chaos. Especially in times of civil unrest. Just look at people now. They can't even go to a sporting event or a music concert without many issues arising. People are so brainwashed by identity politics it is destroying our society.
Two concise and brilliant commentators
My Mother born in 1931 with an 8th TOLD me The United States WILL FALL on day & it will be from Within!!! Yep!!!
Canada didn’t try to shut up Jordan our PM Trudeau the tyrant did. JP is much loved by most Canadians, God Bless you Jordan!
The problem is, what happens when dominance as an idea is deeply resented, and at the same time, there's a half conscious popular notion that dominance and truth are one and the same? In that case, it's no surprise why persons within groups that detest dominance also show absolutely no regard for truth. If the truth is whatever comes to dominate, and we must eschew dominance at every turn, then so too must we eschew truth at every turn.
God bless you Jordan. God speed.
Excellent discussion. I subscribed.

I love how Jordan’s unit of inebriation is “cups of mead.” 😂❤
Great that Jordan continues to spread the truth about how damaging victimhood is to people and society.
Thanks guys. We need a word to describe the logical and manipulative misuse of categories and classifications. This is a large part of the basis of Marxism, etc. Groups can not possess basic individual attributes for the most part. Data analysts are familiar with this fallacy. Suggest "genophilia", but it's having a single term that is important, not the actual term.
Jordan’s looking and sounding super sharp
Here in India, identity politics had ruined harmony.
On a rate to 10 how much worse did it get? So far where I live in Europe, the internet feels like madness and reality feels alright. Except for politics and the upcoming violence in the cities.
Reminds me of whats happening in New Zealand.
I’ve been saying this since 2016, it was obvious. All my “progressive” friends dropped me.
"Cultural Marxism ends in blood." This is historically true, but even truer is the historical fact of religious hegemony. We should guard against both, not take sides as Petersen has done.

“Careless compassion”. Great!
I've never ever seen a documentary on what Communism did to the Ukraine....i wonder why?
Reminds me of a quote from the bible "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God." Interesting that the law was to require people to turn in EVERY seed. Seems the devil is in the details even when people don't believe.
Calling Ukraine in early 1930's " a region pathetically unable to feed itself" is like calling jews in nazi Germany "people pathetically unable to protect themselves".
Ukraine could well feed itself, but USSR wanted to show the world how prosperous and great it was. Especially, in contrast to West, which was suffering the Great Depression. So, the Soviet soldiers were taking all of the harvested food to export it to US and Europe later. Those, who refused to give up their food, were executed.
That's what he meant, It was unable to feed itself AFTER the communists interfered.
During the famines the Soviet Union was exporting grain to the USA in exchange for industrial machinery.
Calling people starving to death pathetic is poorly worded but he's not saying it as an insult.
Well, they _were_ unable to protect themselves. Had they had arms, leadership, and the will to stand up against evil, the end result could have been different.
There's no virtue in being weak and powerless, and JP talks about this as well.
@@snowflakemelter1172 I think it's much better to say that the Ukraine was unable to feed itself BECAUSE the Soviets interfered.
"After", implies that it might be a simple correlation, or even a random coincidence, rather than the direct cause and effect that it actually was.
The similarities between Islamism and Marxism is striking the more you look at both ideologies.
Jordan is jacked up on mountain dew. Love this guy. So intense.
he comes at you like a spider monkey
Jordan goin' after it like a spider monkey !
I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows what John is talking about when he references Margart Mead.
“Oh it’ll affect the bottom line..” yep, just ask Bob Iger.
With modern schooling, people don't think much, they "feel". As such they don't feel as the other person does have the same as they do. They are more important than others. Unless of course they can show off for some cause, in which case they're still making themselves better than the "poor people" that they claim to be doing something for. The other thing is that most of these people talk about their "rights" but never seem to mention the responsibility that comes along with it. They ignore it and act as if they have none.
Dr. Peterson always brings his "A" game.
Worth looking up the interview with Bertrand Russell where he talks about meeting Lenin here…
Not only does it support what JP said regarding the Kulaks, but is worse… Lenin laughed about doing it
Perfectly Explained…
Quite close to actual picture. Add commy ruling/controlling/intimidating system and you'll have the complete explanation
The collective identity is always on a witch hunt, eh?
Hope this doesnt sound too prescriptive: all students need to study Animal farm between age 11 and 13, and then 14 to 16 study 1984. The more able should also do Brave New World.
Their exams at 16: the weaker students can use Animal Farm as their text, the Middle can compare Animal Far and 1984, the top end compare and contrast 1984 within BNW.
This would allow true scope since Animal Farm is very accessible, and you can do a uni dissertation on 1984 and BNW.
Through this the population would have some form of common underlying understanding and language which should make them less susceptible to and help to prevent, well, you know the rest....
Aye study a kids book
I have a similar idea let's have kids learn basic economics alongside the communist thinkers books then see what the kids can comprehend and let's save this till their at least in high school , I've read 1984 and animal farm and I enjoyed them but animal farm is not as useful as a historical view of the communist revolution and 1984 although a great book is nothing more than a book about helplessness
I haven't read brave new world but I doubt it's value compared to real life
@@eliaskline5649 you need to read them again then
@@RichardEnglander I'ma shoot straight with you man, if you think that animal farm is a consistently accurate depiction of the Soviet revolution then you need to read more nonfiction texts, as far as 1984 goes, maybe, I read it in my freshman year and I could've missed some subtleties or whatever
