*returns to time honoured wisdom*

How To Argue Like A Jordan Peterson Fan

>Discredit any position that uses citations from the social sciences on the basis that it comes from the social sciences
>Adduce exhibits from the expert field of psychology; talk about personality types, typological maps, metrics of individuality; estimate the poster's IQ on the spot in a way that is informed by nothing
>Insist that opponent's life experiences are not difficult, tragic, or instructive enough to be valid
>Remind everyone that any personal issue you believe bears discussion brings you dangerously close to being a: faggot, cuck, whiner, bitch, loser, Marxist, millenial (the atom bomb in the JP fan arsenal - "Break Glass In Case Opponent Is Educated")
>Remember that every problem of every kind, including categorical problems, can be solved with more personal responsibility - no exceptions
>Tie it off with a bow of sweetly affirmative bullshit: platitudes about self-ownership, irrationalisms about the logos, appeals to greek pederasts, Victorian warlords, and Solzhenitsyn

If I had heptatitis and a squirt gun, I'd blast every last one of you. It's like living with a bunch of Red Formans and pseudo-robber barons.

Communism was the last step of the process and was never reached due to hyper reactionaries in the USSR changing it back from socialist to capitalist collapsing the system. You truly are a brainlet. How could China and the USSR be communist if they didn’t attempt to abolish anything listed above

It helps me remember Utopianism killed 100 trillion people in the 20th century alone

>I didn't WANT to like Peterson but the liberals made me

This really captures it, essiently he's articulating the fear of the petty-bourgeois who are becoming self-conscious of their historically limited horizons under late stage capitalism. He's comforting basedboys by telling them they can eternally reproduce their basedboy lifestyle as long they propagate idealism but none the less they will be annihilated in a revolutionary manner.

He essiently thinks that through rational discourse you can lead people to seeing the wrongness of their ways i.e. the whole modernist project which totally failed in the 20th century. He accepts an abstract liberalism, he just doesn't want to face the actual consequences of a policy of appeasement.
He's a clinical psychologist that deals with losers, I don't know how most of the patients he treated actually turned out but a career like that would help you build up a messianic complex.
When you approach socio-psychodynamics idealistically it's all just a matter of promoting the right state of mind, all real material interests can be ignored to just encourage individuals to act appropriately. I suppose that's his whole mission, to teach a bunch of pudgy white middle class men to better themselves a bit but the majority will have to fail none the less because society necessitates it.
When you set up a lot of losers with false hopes who are doomed to fail you're creating an inevitable disaster. Either he's intentionally blind or disingenuous and knows exactly what he's doing.

This picture really reveals what the average Jordan Peterson fan is like.

Either had no father or a father that was no good. No religious influences or the only ones they knew were batshit. They were told to go into STEM or they were failures at life. They hate SJWs.

In comes Jordan Peterson, their perfect father figure. No wonder he's popular.

Its all Jung is, he gives a way of reducing nuanced and contingent texts and figures into Autistic class types like "Hero" or "Dragons" that turn them into cute fables that are easy to understand for manchildren
Its no wonder greasy /v/edditors like yourself love him
