1. The fundamental assumptions of Western civilization are valid.
2. Peaceful social being is preferable to isolation and to war. In consequence, it justly and rightly demands some sacrifice of individual impulse and idiosyncrasy.
3. Hierarchies of competence are desirable and should be promoted.
4. Borders are reasonable. Likewise, limits on immigration are reasonable. Furthermore, it should not be assumed that citizens of societies that have not evolved functional individual-rights predicated polities will hold values in keeping with such polities.
5. People should be paid so that they are able and willing to perform socially useful and desirable duties.
6. Citizens have the inalienable right to benefit from the result of their own honest labor.
7. It is more noble to teach young people about responsibilities than about rights.
8. It is better to do what everyone has always done, unless you have some extraordinarily valid reason to do otherwise.
9. Radical change should be viewed with suspicion, particularly in a time of radical change.

He's a sheltered petit bourgeois stooge for the liberal world order who worked for the United Nations and is so out of touch with the real world that he epitomizes the OK boomer meme; he seems to think it's 1985. His advice is bad and will get you wrecked in this society but fatherless zoomers will not be able to tell the difference. Peterson has also stated that his entire modus operandi is to prevent young men from upsetting the neoliberal status quo. Further, that is the goal of his entire profession of psychology, they all attempt to justify the system, call it the best ever, and keep everyone working for Mr Schmekelberg. Another criticism is that he debases religious traditions as the self-help of a previous age and gives them all a materialist basis as emergences of "evolutionary psychology" implying a denial of transcendental reality. Peterson is pro-AI, technological "progress", liberalism/capitalism, individualism, materialism, et cetera. He wants to you to feel powerful as you are atomized and poorer than ever living in a totalitarian dystopia. The system tolerates him and profits off of him because he offers no threat and is in fact a shill for it. Just another Tony Robbins style conman. You might as well consume PUA garbage.

Because of this. He's just lulling people back into bootstrap conservatism, which is completely incapable of opposing intersectional identity politics. It's a "false consciousness" so to speak, a "deradicalization". The people who go searching for him are primarily white and right of center and if they fall for his schtick they'll end up right back where they started.

But this is the point. One of the central tenants of his instruction is "always tell the truth". To illustrate this, he gives the example of a figure who wrote a book about how everyone lying to themselves caused the great calamity of Soviet Communism. But when he is asked to respond to what this author also said about the jews his response is "I can't". Saying Solzhenitsyn was right would get him canceled, saying Solzhenitsyn wrote an entire book of bullshit undermines all of Jordan's other lectures. Once he fell into the "always tell the truth but I can't tell the truth or else I will get canceled" most people abandoned him.

Radical individualism does not work.
A chair is a chair because it belongs to the category of "something to sit on", which is a group identity. Nothing has identity in a vacuum. A chair can have individuality but it cannot be a chair or have any identity without group association.
God is that which provides multiplicity to all things, or the father category/group identity that gives reality its coherence. For Peterson, God is a principality and not a being. This means that under JP's worldview God is a tool for human advantage, a "key", rather than the spirit which is meant to be glorified by those who worship.
Peterson justifies all ethical principles around the axiom of sovereign individuality which only permits self-interest. He does this subtly and intentionally. He even redefines love in order to pragmatize it in this way, describing it as "acting out the will to another person's best interest" (which implies that people who waste time together do not love each other, or love each other less than if they would if they were more responsible towards each other). Peterson's doctrine is logically incoherent, antichristian, and ultimately psychopathic.

Shitwit. You don't understand the world nearly as well as you think. Not a single one of the West's accomplishments could have been done without free speech. We'd have no science, no social progress, no political progress, and no notion that private property must be protected. Without free speech, we'd have stayed in the situation of other backward cultures like imperial China, where nobody had private property, private capital, the right to start businesses, because the emperor would swoop in and take everything from you any time he felt you were gaining too much power.

Also, because identity of any kind requires an external entity of association, people who are godless either identify with something media-related (politics, sports, music) or develop their identities interpersonally, meaning they develop their own self-image based purely off of what other people around them seem to think and admire (which is normal but without a God their conscience isn't fully realized and therefore their personality/identity is unsolid).

Never read any of his books nor listened to his whatever. He's fine. Nothing spectacular but standing up for the young single-mothered boys group is admirable in itself, even if the primary justification is merely monetary.

The modern world is a farce. It's necessary to keep the facade intact to keep the people suppressed.

Also "False consciousness" is such a retarded term because the opposite is also true. "You don't see inequality in capitalism because you believe in it" is just as valid as "You only see inequality in capitalism because you don't believe in it". More bullshit leftie cope hocus pocus.

So the state of women thought history was not that of being oppressed.

So it was alright.

So we could totally return to any of those states, it and would be okay, and not oppression.

I can tell this is going to get tedious. I'm not talking about "resting". I'm talking about normal human behaviour in which sometimes, for even large swaths of time, people do things that are not consistent with the maxim of self interest maximization. Sometimes they even act in ways contrary to self interest. Sometimes people do to each other things that are not consistent with optimal self interest. Everyone I know, including myself does things to the people they love that are contrary to the self interest of the people they love. They even do this out of love. Love's just a feeling. It can be wonderful, and it can be retarded. It can be a vice sometimes or even "toxic". For some reason, GenX thought that love had to be something really special and beautiful (oh, doesn't it just make your heart just flutter? ) so they wasted a lot of time trying to suss out the supreme meaning of it so that they could place it at the top of the totem poll, but love is just a feeling.

Pageau's definition of love in the Christian sense is "the capacity for diversity within unity", which is a lot more sophisticated than Petersons'. In order to unify with someone there has to be some principle or thing that you both serve (for example, soccer players unify with each other by playing the same game on the same team), and without unity there can be no diversity as I've already explained >>20485276. Christianity brought people together under Christ which provided everybody's individual value (your character is judged in the reflection of Christ's image) and what we call love today is precisely that phenomena, usually removed from its religious context.

when women judge the worth of men, they are measuring all functions relative to other men. this means no one, not even JP, can 'solve' men because even if the majority of men were millionaires, in relative terms the woman would only respect billionaires. even though the things women like such as status are malleable, over entire society they cannot be improved en-masse. there is nothing except hacking woman's brains with magnets or genetic engineering that will change this. woman also measure status relative to themselves, which means a sensible society actively supresses them.

Love is something you can become. It is an all inclusive sweetness of emotion. If you generate this within yourself, you become lovely and your activity is loving. You're thinking of infatuation, affection, or attraction. Love is distinct from this, though you're correct in that it has little to do with romantic, 90's movies gestures. A look or a softly spoken word can convey and generate more love than a truckload of roses. "And if I love you, what should it matter to you?"

The type of mindset Peterson preaches has systematically lost every single political fight it has been drawn into over the past 60 years. It has lost every single cultural and social debate it has had with the intersectional left, it has lost control of every single institution it once dominated, it has been completely ineffective at meaningfully reversing any of this, let alone coming up with a view of the world that is anything more than "what if 1950s but colorblind!" It's neither compelling to outsiders nor particularly politically effective for its followers. The only value Peterson has ever had is as a stepping-stone to ideas that lie farther right than his limp-dick Norman Rockwell conservatism, ideas that his followers otherwise would never have been exposed to.

The difference is that free speech is the default, whereas private property is a social invention.
The fact is that private property is the foundation of civilization as a whole, the first property was women (being owned by men), and the first and most effective instance of socialism was monogamy.
Capitalism/monogamy/patriarchy are the definition of civilization itself, and leftism is pure civilization-destroying chaotic evil.

Everyone says this, nobody thinks identity politics is good. JP himself proves the irony of this statement in action, as he consistently engages in identity politics, in fact it's what his entire foundational rhetoric is founded upon.
Just like how he made his own "free speech" platform that you have to pay subscription to access, and which hides sufficiently-downvoted comments. He's also engaged in plenty of frivilous lawsuits against people who are exercising free speech, he just has a problem with people saying things about him he doesn't like.

Because Peterson’s milquetoast stuff is considered to be Nazistic or Nazi-adjacent and part of a radicalization pipeline by the people that control culture and politics today. Appeals to “common sense” and “classical liberal values” are now considered ideological, creepy, outmoded, or silly by the overwhelming majority of the “thinking classes”. All this is a testament to the failure of these ideas. They’re getting pushed further and further towards being considered fringe. That’s why people say appealing to them is pointless; if you’re going to get lumped in with right-wing extremists anyways, you might as well be an actual right-wing extremist.
