No lobster hierarchy’s are an anti Peterson meme. It from talking about lobster hierarchies as a natural hierarchy to try and refute what he see as sjws claiming hierarchyies are a products of a white straight male run society. The issue is that lobster heirarchyies have no relevance to social justice causes and no one is vying for lobster hierarchy deconstruction, only unjust heiatchyies like patriarchy.

MLK was a Jew puppet who had Jews write his speeches because he was too dumb to do so himself. Coincidentally, the more he relied on his Jewish masters, the more socialistic he became in rhetoric

Piketty's capital is a pretty bad book that uses oriented and biased statistics to put socialist politics to the fore.

It was such a terrible book that four French professors wrote against it: Emmanuel Martin, Nicolas Lecaussin, Jean-Philippe Delsol, and Jeffrey Miron.

The rebuke is called "Anti-Piketty: Capital for the 21st century."

Take note of the "French" part of my sentence. Usually Piketty is a revered economist in France. Specifically by the academia as it is very open and in favor for his views.

That the French academia published against Piketty is out of the norm and worth mentioning.
