hes taught a lot of classes focusing on nazism and its rise

Like in Canada saying "a country should have borders" is considered extreme right wing.

oh another old tweet... more relevant to recent events... https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/464217937516040193?s=20

Or "people should be able to choose the kind of healthcare they receive".

In the US saying "a marriage is a union between a man and a woman" is non-controversial. In Canada it's not an idle question as to whether you could face arrest for saying that.

So Jordan Peterson is probably concerned about the right wing going too far in the same way a Bedouin is concerned about drowning.

the classes are all up on youtube, a lot of people cut them up into smaller bits, but you can listen to them for the most part in whole

Canada has a border with the US so the benefits are probably not as obvious as when you have a shitty neighbor.

JBP is very well informed about totalitarian states, especially of the 20th century

when he asks when the right goes to far, it prolly is in regard of that

not canadian politics

I remember him talking about Hitler's table talks and how conservatives are more sensitive to disgust than liberals. If he ever commented about what it looks like when the right wing takes things too far it would probably involve some of the same points.

Basically a cleaning/ordering response going out of control and being applied to tribal groups.

But Peterson has often said that people of with the underlying personality profiles that correlate to liberal and conservative need each other in order to build robust and functional institutions.

An organization dominated by people with conservative personality traits will stagnate, and become rigid and inflexible. Eventually it will fail to adapt to changing circumstances and collapse, or self-destruct through purity spiralling.

hes a enlightened alt centrist

im a radical alt centrist

im a banana

we eighter have a discussion about the different points of view and each bring the evidence in support of our claim to further both our understandings of each others possitions without resorting to falacies

OR I BLOW ThIS PLACE SKY HIGH

this alt business is stupid - there is right/left libertarian/authoritarian no alt-sh*t

i don't think labels are especially useful when referring to one's self or other individuals. they're only useful for broad generalizations of groups or trends.

alt is reactionary

its to mean you nonestablisment verson of a political spectrum

because multiple consiterations put people on the same point of a political compass

the establishment is irrelevant to the spectrum

its not irrelevant to how people collectivize outside the spectrum

if the "alt-right" just mean they want an ethno-state.... then theyre white nationalists... which is on the authoritarian scale

thats not what the alt-right "just mean"s though which is why they arnt that

also ethnonationalism isint the same thing as white nationalism

they still fit on the spectrum.. theres no need for "alt"

you could have a "party" called the alt-right ... but the spectrum is the spectrum

alt doesent define a position on the spectrum it defines a position of people who are on the same spectrum as other people but disagree fundomentally

its simply a reactionist group against establishment

which are no better defined as a whole than "alt"

thing is ... right has nothing to do with anything about ethnicity... its merely an economical scale

basically what they are... if they are capitalist ... they are auth-right...

the broader political scale takes into consiteration more than economics, whether or not it should is a matter of debate but anyone who has taken a political compass test can assert that more than economical questions are asked

yes, thats for auth and libertarian scales too

which is the social scale
