First, just to clarify this Jordan Peterson
problem.
I am less and less interested in debating
him.
Why?
Because when I wrote that text for the Independent,
I knew only two parts of him: His conflicting
stance, especially in Canada in the beginning,
towards all of this LGBT+ naming and so on.
And his attitude towards what he calls "cultural
Marxism".
And my stance towards him as far as I knew
that was not just fanatically against but
it was that when he criticises LGBT+, political
correctness and so on he, nonetheless, identifies
some problems correctly but of course gives
them the wrong terms and so on and so on.
Point two, just to conclude with Jordan Peterson.
So, he is part of this myth: cultural Marxism...
My position is here, as if LGBT+ and #MeToo
are the ultimate Marxist conspiracy to ruin
the West!
My critique of #MeToo, I am very much on their
side, just some of their problematic aspects
is again that, no, if anything, they are the
last attempt of liberals to prevent a more
authentic radicalisation, political ones.
They are the last defence against the left.
But with Jordan Peterson, you know what's
my problem?
I like to debate with neo-fascists, terrify
them.
But sorry, [Carl] Jung is too much for me.
When I just opened — I cannot buy it for
moral reasons — but in a book store I opened
for a little bit this "12 Rules for Life".
Fascism is okay, racism is okay, but, my God,
all those wise advises, like "When you see
a dog, caress him" or whatever, all of that.
That's too much for me.
My point is, nonetheless, think about his
exploding popularity.
You know.
Avoid this liberal smugness and satisfaction
"Oh, that idiot" and so on.
Why did he explode so much?
Where did we all of our political correctness
and so on and so on, where did we fail?
Where did we fail?
