Yes, but how do you think Yeltsin got re-elected in 1996 with 6% approval rating?
Here's a hint: it's red, white, blue, and this case case very green
(Longer version:
Not only did the US Treasury guide Russia's economic policy after the collapse, making conditions horrible overall, they also worsened things by helping Yeltsin rig the 1996 elections;
advisors flown out to Moscow every single week, $10B IMF loan "mysteriously" not used for development, Clinton personally saying "I want this guy to win so bad, it hurts", 1M votes for Yeltsin in Chechnya where only 500K were registered to vote).

Material possession didn't prove superiority? And I'm the one with the flag of the former USSR?
Material wealth is an expression of power. If Mansa Musa had enough wealth to be the inspiration for Europeans to travel to Africa, then I'd say it was pretty damn commendable and superior, be it caused by intelligent rule, favorable climate, or luck.
Toddlers? You clearly are still subject to my point— you still haven't grasped how vast Africa's cultures are.
If you want to talk about shitty art, let's cherrypick, like you just did. Compare all of Byzantine art, with Old Kingdom Egyptian work. I recommend the Seated Scribe.
Go ahead.
Tell me that the gangly, sickly Byzantine Jesus compares to photorealtic depictions, so old that they were the reason the pre-Classical Greeks stopped making "toddlerlike" sculptures
"Science is still not settled"
This is where I realize that you're just a really good troll, or just a fucking dumbass.
There is no science, dipshit. This is history. Gunpowder was invented in 7th century China by Taoist alchemists.
So was paper. The base 10 numerals we use today, as opposed to the clunky Roman system, was invented in India. The sails we used to cross the Atlantic were Arabic. Algebra was invented in Persia. Surgery was invented in Egypt. Metallurgy was invented in Tanzania.
Everything we have, everyone has, is a result of countless cultures contributing to our collective knowledge.

She's an interviewer, not a zoologist. Mentioning the urine coming out of the eyes highlighted the vast anatomical differences between them and humans- and that extends (as the brain is a part of anatomy) to the social structure. Even bonobos, extremely close to us in evolutionary terms, have an entirely different way of initializing intraspecies interactions, which has affected their entire developmental history.
Imagine that, but underwater and you're prey instead. Oh and you have a mating season, and your brain is much less functional. Of course the outcome would be different; egalitarianism would get you killed. Not so with humans, once they evolved the ability to sweat, eat meat, and create tools.
Lobsters do not have the same social structure as humans, period. It is fallacious to conclude that hierarchies should be encouraged because lobsters happen to have them. It's a fallacy and completely unsupported by science.

Thank you for the insight, but the problem is not easy to change:
their only experience (what they see as "society" as a whole) was that, during Russia's Westernization times, things were better for them.
As Putin became more and more authoritarian, things got worse.
Their entire lifespan, period when they were aware of developments, is 20 or so years.
Of course, it is not that simple: things were much, much worse under the last President Yeltsin, when Russia was fully embracing the West.
But since they were all born after that period (2000s and later), they laugh and say that older russians are just brainwashed by soviet propaganda.
Ironically, it was the rejection of western ideas (open democracy, completely free markets) that allowed the russian government to reign in the mafia, some of the oligarchs' money laundering, collapse of public services, etc
I wish more russians would stay and come to an 'agreement' with the oligarchs and government:
you can keep all the money you stole, but stay out of politics!
And to the government: stop siphoning all the money to Moscow, and stop allowing china to steal natural resources!

If you can't, then there's no helping you. If you're so utterly impatient that you refuse to listen to another person's detailed critique, then you're a lost cause.
If your mind has really been turned to mush, here's an easy, digestible little soundbite for you:
At 9:14, PJ mentions the case of a German woman, refugee activist, supposedly being abducted and killed by a migrant from Morocco.
He conveniently omits that the man was only held as a suspect, yet his point is presented as an instance of migrant violence against Germans, when that hadn't been determined. Innocent until proven guilty.
To top it all off, the man wasn't even a migrant! He was a truck driver legally living in Spain. Hopefully that isn't a problem— after all, conservatives don't take issue with immigrants, as long as they're legal.
Here, the original article in German (just use Translate), spoonfed to you:
https://www.br.de/nachricht/oberpfalz/inhalt/vermisste-sophia-loesche-aus-amberg-polizei-kuendigt-neue-informationen-an-100.html
There are plenty of English articles on the story, as well.
So, so suppose I simply think his point is entirely fabricated, as opposed to "disagreeing with one of his points."
That being said, 'West is the Best" is too vague statement to be defensible without context, which is why I hate that PJ uses it as a tagline.
Best in what?
Quality of life? Sure. Depends on where in the West you mean. I certainly wouldn't lump the U.S. together with Europe or Australia in that regard.
Freedom? Again, that's subject to change. Is Japan Western? It's Westernized, so is it Western?
Can the "West" be generalized like that at all? I'd argue that you're better off in South Korea than you are in, for instance, Ukraine.
Happiness? Definite no.
Get my point? Hopefully you, being so "very far from dumb" could absorb all that?

Oh my god, learn to spell. If you're the average type of person Peterson attracts, then I have even less respect for him as an 'intellectual'.
Your argument is silly, you could extend it to whatever you want--
"JP believes in Jung, Mihály Csikszentmihályi (Personality Psychologist) doesn't, they disagree, that is it. What is this?"
If you think nothing matters, then nobody should debate anybody, right?
Why are you acting apathetic about it now? Lots of people think they know the final answer to the question "Does God exist?" That's why the debate sold out!
Faith is belief without evidence. The debate was not about faith, it was about facts. Peterson was trying to prove, directly or indirectly, that the supernatural exists, that's what the whole debate was about. Otherwise he would have said "My faith can't be changed by facts!" and left.
Don't be silly here. You know a Wolff-Peterson debate would matter, and make them lots of money, but he doesn't want to.
Think about why he (not you) doesn't want to.

I'm sure Peterson is fascinating to listen to, but you're only working against him by typing novels in the comments to "clear up" what he's said.
Again, if he's such a great communicator, why do his supporters need to clarify for him all the time? Why do his supporters think they even can?
They're not words coming from his mouth anymore, so what makes your interpretation of his words any more correct than mine? (which itself is problematic because he's a clinical psychologist whose terms aren't consistent and can't be defined. Not the mark of a good practitioner.)
Even using terms like "cultural Marxism," without defining them clearly at least once, in regards to the specific tenets of the ideology and express actions and goals of its followers, should be alarming to you.
If he's hiding behind plausible deniability, he either has no confidence in his ideas, or has a reason to shield them from public scrutiny.
Bear in mind this is the same man who believes that atheists don't actually not believe in God (when the criteria by which genuine belief is determined is based solely on conscious thought.)
Please, scrutinize your heroes. You can become better than them.

The immigrants themselves are generally a positive force for any country— they tend to be highly motivated to succeed, given their situation and determination to rebuild their lives.
This, and the fact that increased manpower is good for any economy, makes them a mildly positive force (because money does need to be spent to accomodate their new residency).
That being said, the cause of their immigration is something that should absolutely be stopped.
Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Nicaragua, Tibet, and the like, should all be restored and then (militarily) LEFT ALONE.
