Nationalists are having a field day tearing this apart.

I feel like he's slowly painted himself into a corner where he'll either have to come out as a standard neo-liberal ("neo-marxist") or an identitarian ("neo-nazi").

He is a boomer at the end of the day and has been forced to walk back some of his ideas due to edging too close to the JQ. He can't acknowledge the fundamental flaws in his ideology, which is that only white people are individualists and multiculturalism means the death of individualism, so his shit can't work.

Here's a longer explanation,

>Individualism is a unique attribute of European peoples. It has been exported to some degree to other nations, but in my view, it is not something that comes to them naturally. So you can’t play the game of ‘we’re all individuals.’ We have to affirm and be proud of our ethnic identity and heritage to preserve the West’s curious individualism.

He's right in saying pride should be about things you have actually done. To participate in a culture you must somehow project yourself into the future and live up to it: pride is then allowed when you are actively and consciously participating in forwarding a culture and improving it.

He hasn't rejected jack shit, he just danced around the topic beating strawmen and giving some stupid answer.

Even this youtube comment refutes him easily:

>I'm embarrassed for doctor Peterson in this clip. This is a shockingly bad argument.
>He seems to be implying that pride necessarily means taking credit but not taking responsibility or trying to live up to. But I don't see why this must be so. Why can't pride mean taking responsibility for and trying to live up to?
>Second, he ignores the actual question which has to do with individualism not surviving if groups of individualists are overrun by tribalists or ethnocentrists. (And some groups are measurably, demonstrably, more individualist than others...)
>Third, he ignores the context which is that the only reason anyone tries to sever the white, Western man's sense of ownership of and identification with his birthright and his inheritance is to try to steal it. Maybe I didn't build that, but my genes did. And they built it for me (and me for it.) Jordan Peterson here is making himself accessory to that theft of my birthright and inheritance and its redistribution to other individuals whose connection to it is much more dubious, because they have NONE.
>Fourth, Jordan Peterson is ignoring the wishes of my ancestors. In my constitution it says "to ourselves and our posterity" and this sentiment is echod in a variety of other sources. None of them say "to whoever wants a piece" or "to whoever needs it most" or "to whoever has the least" or any such nonsense.
>Fifth, he repeats the stupid lefty trope of reducing race and ethnicity to skin color. You bloody know it's more than that you bloody liar.
>Sixth, when I glorify my ancestors I am not TAKING credit, I am GIVING credit, which is also in accordance with their wishes, as it is in accordance with their wishes that this credit come from their progeny.

>as stupid as black pride
Black pride was the result of a scrubbed identity. If you were black in america then your heritage and culture, be it Ghanan or Somali or South African (and mind you Africa is a HUGE fucking continent), was absolutely destroyed and disposed of. You have no last name. You're a slave and you're a nigger. That is your heritage. It is defined from both without and within, in no way could these peoples say "I'm a quarter Algerian and 50% Nigerian etc." the way Americans say with their ethnic identities. They would be a stranger to native Africans, they're exiles. The amazing thing about black pride is the ability of the newly "black" Americans to carve out a new culture for themselves, in dance and music and literature and others, in a way that had profound effect on the culture at large from the bottom-up. "White" people in america had a similar process but it was opt-in rather than forced. You can still cook Albanian food and go to the Albanian club and speak Albanian but your children sure aren't going to, they're going to be homogenized into the same bland cultureless consumer Americanism. There is no culture to defend once you're a naturalized American, you are defined by your lack of an identity. And since they're not ethnically identified from without the way racism has done for blacks, they're finding themselves a bit lost. And since it's the dominant power, there is no way there is ever going to be a coherent "white" identity. They don't have to work for it, they can just smoke pot and play vidya and watch marvel movies. It has been decided.

I never understand the hype or fascination with him. He always struck me as an atheist but the sort who will condescendingly approve of other people believing because on some level they recognize it as a force of good. That's bad enough on its own but he won't even be honest about it. Whenever I've seen him really questioned about his specific religious beliefs he evaded by accusing the questioner of trying to "stick him in a box." I don't trust him one bit.

You are almost certainly American, but lets assume youve been to europe as you talk as if you have. Being proud of your culture as opposed to being proud of being white in no way divides whites. You can respect an overarching racial family without being proud of the skin color "white" as a whole, as that is fucking ridiculous. I believe you are a larping American, but have you ever met a Russian? Have you been to the Netherlands? These people may share an overarching genetic lineage, but go far back enough and we all do. It is unclear where to draw this line aside from general geographic juxtaposition, and NOT skin color. Im beyond race realism personally, and hate the negroids as a whole, however to deny this fact is pure Larping, and not an attempt to unify whites.
