      1. Being able to read critically is something that many people lack. You may be one such person.

    America isn’t capitalist. America has a planned economy, except that the “plan” is never explicitly announced.

    The average American abhors the wars of the last 28 years.

    Most Americans chafe at the creation of an aggressive police state since 9/11.

    Just as I am tired of the people promulgating these things, I’m tired of children like you that refuse recognize real American sentiment.

    Moreover, I know you children are dupes, and more of the same anti-human behavior is contained in your “solutions.”

    The Russian revolution was a fraud and the history of it is a lie.

    Real organic capitalism has lifted people from a medieval existence to modernity in 150 years.

    Socialism has brought decay and death.
    There is no connection between capitalism and blacks being denied civil rights.

    Government is organized violence and coercion, regardless of the economic system.

    Socialism is a system dominated completely by government.

    True capitalism is voluntary cooperation.

  2. Peterson turned out to be just another boomer cuck willing to capitulate to the left when he tweeted out that Kavanaugh should step down if confirmed. And Shapiro is a NeverTrumper who is more than happy to maintain the corrosive status quo as long as he gets paid for his ossified “Conservative” opinions.

    1. I won’t dismiss JP because he was wrong on Kavanaugh. I don’t have to agree 100% with him nor he with me. If he were to show a pattern of being wrong, that’s different. And yes, Ben is/was wrong on Trump, but that’s just my opinion.

  3. Peterson is not my cup of tea either. This is a better beverage. A bitter cup indeed for collectivist conceit.

    “They point to President Trump’s tweets and his condemnation of “fake news” – but what really agitates the liberal media is that this president has the audacity to hit back, even though they’ve drawn first blood. They’re not used to being served their own medicine.”

    To liberals, divisiveness means a refusal to acquiesce to their leftist policy demands. They never consider their own dogmatic, uncompromising agenda to be divisive.”

    “From their hermetically sealed echo chamber where uniformity of ideas is nearly absolute, the liberal media don’t regard their opinions as political. In fact, they’re not really even opinions. They’re objective, undeniable observations.”

    According to the liberal media, those who disagree with the wise men and women who bring us the news don’t have a legitimately differing opinion; they are just wrong and immoral. There is the reasonable (liberal) view and there is the aberrant view. Those are the only two choices.”

    Rational people understand, the leftist media tell us, that liberal taxing, spending and redistribution are reality-based. So too are expansive government dependency programs, expansive abortion “rights,” and a slavish devotion to “climate change” policies. Those who oppose these views? They are fact-challenged, we are told.”

    Liberal conceit has been around for ages, which explains the liberal media’s shock that anyone could accuse them of bias.”

    That’s why I don’t believe the “polls,” and will only be satisfied with the people’s choice via those who vote.

  4. Peterson is still under the impression that it is a valid position to give the “benefit of the doubt” to the Left in the hopes that they can rehabilitate themselves. As such, he fills the role of an adviser. That’s fine. Except it is extremely naive. They want to eradicate thinking such as his. They want to eradicate his ability to express that thinking. They want nothing more than to shut-him-up.

    He’s missing the most important part of the argument…which is winning it. As mentioned above, his recommendation that Kavanaugh should remove himself from the Supreme Court after winning the position is absolutely reflective of this naivete. His willingness to extend an olive branch to a “mob” that considers political ideology their basic religion makes me wonder if he truly understands those to whom he preaches. This mob is perfectly willing to make up accusations, circumvent the law and ruin people to achieve their goals. Peterson is willing to let them in exchange for coexistence.

    I guess my main problem with Peterson is that he wants to coexist with these people. I want to stomp them.

    1. Agreed. However I actually quite like Peterson … primarily for his simple, pragmatic approach to life. I instinctively used his approach to life growing up in a dysfunctional family, bounced back and forth between two weak parents, neither of which was particularly interested in so much as providing food in our household. I had to “run-away” from home just to eat. This after my brother and I used to shoplift packages of meat from our local Safeway store. As a child I was presented with a choice … sulk and feel sorry for myself, or strap it on and fight to become something MORE than my weak parents. I ended up not HATING my parents, but just feeling sorry for them … recognizing they were weak, ill-equipped, humans. That I didn’t need to be like the .

      I agree … Peterson wants to coexist with people who are permanently broken, and have no interest in bettering themselves by changing their attitude. There is no coexisting with people like that. They are weak, I’ll-equipped, people.

  5. I am grateful to Canada for producing Peterson. He’s right up there with Shatner in my “list”. The guy is brilliant and relentless. I hope he doesn’t burn himself out. Reading his book might help me understand some of the unexpected dislike by commenters.
