>um achually my opinion is just as valid as the ultimate being who created me and everything else and knows quite literally everything in the universe and has total and complete power over the aforementioned and whose judgement is infinite

>The Amish and Mormons
Amish are .1% of the population
Mormons are 4%
both groups have more and more people leaving them and with newer members having fewer children if they remain
even if this wasn't the case having 20 children per marriage wouldn't be enough to put a dent in the demographic replacement caused by global immigration into the US
you are so completely delusional it is beyond laughable

Yes morons itt are desperate to try and conflate very basic anti-discriminatory laws meant for businesses to actual totalitarian laws that can be interpreted as anything against anyone. There's no comparison whatsoever here, and people like

Are complete idiots deluding themselves.

But what else is new? Peterson's positions are only controversial to crazy people.

>>14732106
Care to give an example? I've never heard Peterson engage with anyone but other pop retards, be it Harris or Zizek or whoever.

lmao, how the fuck do theists have morality? Aren't they just responding to fear and bribery?

I thought that was blatantly clear. People mistake his calls for individuality with somehow being analogous to Nietzsche, but they mean very different things when they refer to the individual. To Peterson it means something like complying with the consumerist framework of the west and seeking to thrive in it, there's absolutely none of the iconoclasm you see with Nietzsche. I would go on to say the logical conclusion of the positions Peterson advocates for is The Last Men, making him as contrary to Nietzsche as it gets. I could say more but it's impossible to convince his ideologues and really the only people who care enough to see this just zero in on how he rejects unified white organization, which is relevant but far from central. I will give an example, you will never hear Peterson say something bad about overpopulation, particularly in the third world, I've heard the guy glowingly praise the population explosion of Africa and offer pathetic crypto-globalist rationals to it like "Well you know, there's enough underground water in Uganda to feed all of Africa! Things are more positive than we know!" which is farcical since Uganda itself lives in a perpetual clean water crisis and you can't help but see something of the eager capitalist in him, readying to exploit billions of Africans or crisis's like global warming to remold the world in ways that profit him. Which is laughable, because Peterson creates nothing, his product is a dubious half education and half mysticism and his wealth is generated by Patreon, there's nothing of the rugged individualist who fixes or masters the world here, that image has been conflated with base opportunism and petty pedigree.

It's pretty obvious isn't it? The self-hating ideology of the left becomes ever demanding, and there is an ever stronger reaction. Both ideologies are adopted by the poor and the impressionable, those who know nothing better. If the lives of either were improved there would be no SJW or Neo-Nazis, but instead people cling to these groups for an identity in their abjection. And belonging to an identity is what this is all about, people want who they are to be decided for them, to be an easy answer quickly conjured up at the first insecurity. Being an individual is hard, a slave easy.

What makes you think they represent anything, especially if you haven' read the books?

It's the sign of a limited mind to think everything is allegorical or symbolically significant.

Wow this is disheartening. I've been watching his Maps of Meaning lectures for several hours but skipped ahead to this video...he actually thinks the Stanford Prison Experiment was valuable? Informative?

I now know what it feels like to have been memed. You got me, /lit/.
