Comments by "Voryn Rosethorn" (@vorynrosethorn903) on "Become a Civilized Beast - Jordan Peterson Interview" video.

  1. A lot of people here seem to have taken Jordan's presence personally, for him to be such an offensive presence his insult to you must in some way be intended, personally I feel their is no way of justifying that, he has a vast body of public work and very little of it is marked by malice. To be sure he is facing personal demons, the man crys in practically all interviews these days, at least some of this is understandable given his serious battles with health and that of those around him. Yeah the daily wire acquisition has largely been very negative, they seem to have advised him that playing to his detractors and being vitriolic and irrational would help, also who've edits his writing seriously needs to do their job so he doesn't end up spewing nonsense strings of words which sound sophisticated but don't actually mean anything and just make him sound off his rocker (assuming that it is to do with the daily mail, which I presume as it started immediately after he joined the). He is certainly a lightning rod to discontented young men however he did not create them, the fact he tries to get them to buy into the system despite their misgivings makes him a deradicalising force. The social conditions and structure we are looking at is frankly not healthy, many of this issue have existed with other societies historically and they don't typically end well, for example incels were a thing in basically all polygamous societies and they were a group who's interests were literally hostile to the status quo, every single time a rebellion or conflict broke out they would jump right on board as they had nothing to lose anyway, the taiping rebellion was the second bloodiest war in human history and it was supported from the start by many dissatisfied single young men with no hope of marriage within the existing system. What I saying is Peterson's popularity is reflection of conditions not a cause of them, indeed as he loses relevance expect the dissatisfaction to manifest in much more radical ways.
