The following should really be read in reverse order, as the stack is last-in, first-out. Cool thing is, the first thing you see is the distillation of the rest.
I think it's cool that JBP is now with Daily Wire and being more confrontational with the authoritarians. These people are entirely too sure of themselves, and their certainty is based on very little evidence. JBP's laid all his foundations and now he's playing to win. Get mad and call him names? Well, now HE's mad, TOO, and now you're offended because he has the effrontery to show some emotion, which his critics do, all day long.
Now I'm on Daily Wire, too!

JBP went out of his way to give the benefit of the doubt to cultural vandals and thinly-veiled Marxists. He's been in a fight with cultural Marxists and the postmodern project the entire time. They have done nothing but escalate the attacks on him and grab more power. The events SINCE 2017 entirely justify his indignation.
If only one "side" goes out of its way to be reasonable, and the other "side" only seeks power over others, then the unreasonable side wins, See "Bolshevik Revolution."
I've been on the "right side" of a lot of arguments, only to lose because the "other side" acted more offended, and I refused to play that game. Well, dammit, that's truly offensive, and I'm done hiding it, trying to find common ground with an intransigent left. Every time I do, that's just another win for uncompromising and narcissistic leftists, who are NOW in the use-of-force phase on every level. Censorship, de-platforming, threats of violence, actual violence, and now abuse of powers of the state to serve a recognizably Marxist agenda.
Yes, there's a more civil space in UK outside the culture war, but it's because "conservatives" are damn near as big of socialists as the so-called "left." It was conservatives who presided over lock-downs and vaccine mandates and assisted the biggest wealth transfer from the poor and middle class to the ruling class in HISTORY.
Jordan's becoming more urgent and confrontational because trying to reason with unreasonable people has gotten him and the Human Progress Project nowhere. It's time to hit 'em where they hurt, with memes, satire, and some confrontation. No, we're not compromising on our children. No, we're not OK with new-age serfdom. Yes, we've been in a war the entire time, but only the other side has known it. Now WE know it, and people aren't just going to roll over and play dead just because some lunatic is offended more by pronouns than Puritans were by adultery.

Yes, Americans are high in disagreeableness. It's a major safety valve that keeps us free while maintaining a reasonable level of order. It keeps us from just blindly following our leaders into madness. It's called PUSHBACK, and we ALL need it, which is why Peterson was more agreeable with the left in the past. The left still has that same role, but nobody on the left is seriously filling it. It's all left, all day, and if you disagree, you're an "ist." They'll silence you by any means necessary and in America, there's a deeply ingrained sense of fairness that is being violated at every turn by what can only be described as authoritarians.
You don't fight authoritarians in power by reasoning with them. They just wait for you to finish (if they're in a good mood) and then steamroll you with a power play. Jordan's indignation and new urgency should be a warning sign, not of where PETERSON is, but where the left is and where it's taking us.
