I really hope the pendulum will swing back but it seems that even if it does, it will be a quick blip on the radar. Why? The younger generation has completely grown up swimming in this propaganda. They get it in school from their teacher, in their TV shows, on all their social media platforms. The people behind all of this know that they won't be able to win over the average middle aged person in flyover country, but they go straight for the kids because they realize they can easily shape young people's psyche's and just wait a little while til they're the ones running things.

I haven’t read him so I don’t have an opinion on him myself but I’ve heard a lot of negative things about him on various social media. Anyway I’ll give my theory.

First you have to realize that most memes about famous people, especially these weirdly strong opinions that people on the internet have about famous people, start on twitter. On twitter, if you are in the right networks, you can pretty much meme anything into existence.

I’m pretty sure the idea about him being an idiot, racist, sexist, etc started on twitter because the trans pronouns thing and it got memed by various leftist twitter networks of people.

So most of the opinions you see here about Jordan Peterson are people repeating ideas that originated in twitter, spread on twitter, and filtered through various social media. Basically people repeating shit they hear on the internet.

Peterson became a countercultural flashpoint for many people who thought the speech and thought policing shit going on in coastal elite, college educated, and media circles was annoying, but who never had a solid opportunity to express it.

This focusing of resistance from the "right" (normal people) caused a massive backlash from the hyperconfident progressive "left" that thinks it's the final and ultimate moral authority, at the end of human history, and interprets any challenge to itself as a total war on its morality.

In short, ordinary people found that the Peterson affair epitomized the concerns they already held, in a way that allowed them to finally express those concerns. Progressive people found it exciting to have an "enemy" to ritually debase and destroy while shrieking like chimps. Fair-weather normie allies of the progressive worldview, whose center of gravity is nominally progressive, found it (as usual) a fun opportunity to be angry about something, another excuse for a Two Minutes Hate with an easily understandable pinata to smash, a scapegoat.

The real hardcore progressives are simply insane, hollow inside, insane, having spent decades training themselves to hate the family, to hate men, to hate themselves and everything natural, normal, "old fashioned." They feel nothing but pain and want to inflict their pain on others. So they always enjoy sadistically attacking Peterson types. The opportunistic normie hatred for Peterson, the casual opportunity to ritually humiliate and attack a pariah with no risk to oneself, was enhanced by the flashes of real viciousness from trannies and deranged barren women on social media, and vice versa. The normies like to see the trannies and mentally ill cat ladies do the really vicious things they are afraid to do, the things their normie self-awareness and fear of punishment holds even them back from. It's like a horde of tribals assembled for a massacre, but too cowardly to attack the enemy just yet, instead waiting for the frenzied energy to build up, waiting for particularly crazy people in the horde to get restless and "do something" that will activate the crowd and start the massacre.

Strangest of all in this unholy coalition are the leftists, who are served up "Peterson is an apologist for capitalism and bourgeois ideology... this is all understandable via Marxist critique, which tells us how men like Peterson are generated by the bourgeois worldview as a natural function...." on a platter, and don't question the fact that this aligns them with the opportunistic bourgeois progressives and histrionic zealots just mentioned. The marxist critique of Peterson is technically valid but "right for the wrong reasons," and the bourgeois puritan soul inside of the vast majority of self-described leftists, the side that is also spoiling for "something to happen," is enticed away from critical thought and into joining the frenzy too. It's simply too fun to attack a surrounded pariah.

Because nothing really penetrates the masses. Look at the sheer insanity of the current cultural climate. You really think average people "decided," as in intellectually and rationally considered and then committed to, the idea of trannies? As if it's now integrated into their consciousness?

The whole tranny phenomenon, which is representative of the whole "weird for the sake of weird" hippie bohemian phenomenon, is one big self-imposed shit test by the collective unconscious of bored and angry peasants. They sublimate their anger and confusion about their shit lives into the public religion-entertainment complex. They are not moral enough to be truly religious and not immoral enough to be truly licentious, so they need a religion-entertainment complex. Currently that complex is weird for the sake of weird progressivism.

What caused and temporarily sustains trannyism is not an intellectual or even moral or emotional commitment to some abstract principle. The mass never operates on abstract principles, it operates on gimmicks, "catchy" cultural turns of phrase that briefly channel its raw instincts into a stable complex. The current catchy gimmick of the masses, their pious entertainment, is "weird is good, everyone be weird, if I see anything weird I will defend it, why do normoids hate what is weird? weird is freedom? freedom is good? I'm good if I promote freedom, freedom is weird, weird is freedom, if I see anything weird I will be the smart popular person if I defend it against anything normal, I love gays, I love lesbians, polyamory must be good because it's not normal," and so on.

The masses are entranced by this idea but they aren't convinced of it. They can't be convinced of anything. Once this complex fails to entertain, once it fails to provide them safe avenues to praise and acclamation by the rest of the mob, it will collapse instantly. Then a new complex will channel the instincts of the masses in a new way. They will revert to another form of tribalistic moral-religious-entertainment, and one of the oldest and most time-tested peasant religions in the book is the mass murder of freaks and weirdos. The state will not resist this but recognize where the winds are blowing and align itself with it.

That's why this cultural moment is so crazy. It's built upon a very temporary set of conditions and on the assumption that it will never be overturned. You can already see the sea change taking place if you now where to look. Nobody likes trannies, even trannies don't like trannies. TERFs didn't get weaker but stronger, TERFs weren't a declining rearguard action but another focusing point where women who already latently hated trannies could learn to express and channel their hatred of trannies, to channel their instincts. If you want to see what's coming, imagine TERFs, not their ideas but their instinctive anger and disgust, becoming the default view with the full support of the state and mainstream opinion.
