Comedian Norm Macdonald is tweeting about how Jordan Peterson helped him many years ago and his followers are getting really neurotic about it and trying to force him to change his opinion

Honestly, Peterson doesnt know jack shit about whats going on with the left. Everything he thinks about society is old antiquated nonsense that makes zero sense in todays world and would cause a total collapse if everybody actually believed it, but his psychological ideas for personal purposes are great.

Why do you think there's a such a prolific effort discounting everything that was once Western culture?

The same forces that push capitalism at its root, Peterson is just not social or creative enough to know whats going on in the absolute upper echelons of society. I mean, religion and Cultural Marxism serve exactly the same role, but he pushes for one over the other, he has no idea whats going on. Like he says psychologically, most people will surely mess up a complex system, so its much better to have them in a virtue competition. Before it was religion, now its cultural marxism. At the upper levels of art and culture, this is all obvious, and who the fuck do you think started marxism? It was the highest levels of society. Communism is a great philosophy for doing what religion wants to do with agrarian societies, but it should be a step towards some form of capitalism with some social considerations. Like, its all cool to say that you really are only responsible for yourself and your children, but the whole country can get going MUCH faster if they have at least a basic level of wealth, health, and knowledge from which to start from.
