Can't believe I let myself get memed out of reading this for so long. I'm a communist, but I agree with so much of what is said here. So refreshing to see a modern psychologist mention Freud and Jung with the respects they deserve also. You want an antidote to the charade all around you without slipping into retarded chud territory? This guy right here.

It's just a book that tells you to fix your posture because it makes you look like less of a defeated lobster lol.
If you're going to be annoying tankie I guess it's better to leave that behind. It doesn't mean we're still not left with the question. How would a society work without work? Keep in mind most of us might make it past the year 2050 even. Will the world resemble the current world then? I don't think so.

Peterson as far leftist? Nah. He's basically establishment liberal, with a dose of Christianity and 1800s conservatism.

He just dared to be critical of trans people and that turned him into darling of the Internet right back in 2016-ish.

they're all worthless. Peterstein is a UN/WEF cog and his purpose is to herd disaffected young men back into roles of comfortable mediocrity (despite a a failing society) until they become too old to give a shit and just want to grill all day. (so like 35, at best)

It's probably already occurred to you, but if Thomas Pynchon was in this thread, or met you, he would initially be unsure whether to pity or bully you, but either way would feel ashamed that you had read his book, and posted that excerpt here, for this purpose. He would wonder where he had gone wrong.

It's honestly impressive how the establishment has managed to rebrand leftism as technocorporatist liberalism (which is basically fascism by another name) in the public consciousness. So the hoi polloi can feel progressive without the powers-that-be while functionally remaining slaves. Insidious shit

I'm not sure it's a rebrand, I honestly think we've done this to ourselves. The cancel culture to group-think pipeline is certainly expediated by the ease of communication we currently enjoy(?), but it is, I think, at the point now where gender politics, however outlandish, have become something that cannot be questioned for fear of reprisal- discourse is being closed down, and certainly this is a state of affairs that will not be discouraged by tptb- I would hesitate to say that they have created this, though. I must make pains to point out that I am not anti-trans. I am anti sensationalism, anti blackmail, and pro clarity. It takes a brave one to stick their neck out and say these things- people are so concerned about being publicly crucified as a terf that they would rather disengage or shut down the discourse than risk it. A dangerous ideological position for a society to be in; and by that I mean our global society, such that it is.

To your point about the man on the street feeling progressive without any substance, we continue to chew the dry bones we are thrown, and are allowed if not encouraged to revolt to the precise extent we are allowed by our various states. Getting dead drunk, and shouting slogans. Marching in the streets, smashing windows, sitting in our living rooms knowingly laughing at satirical programming. It is masturbation, and after we've done it, we don't want to fuck.

It's not a bad book, and as far as life advice goes, his knowledge as a clinical psychologist does shine through.

But a good way to tell if someone has or hasn't read the book is if they ever mention how much Jordan talks about the Bible. Like holy shit, in every other paragraph, he's comparing what he's talking about with a Bible story.

I don't even know if Jordan is Christian or if he just likes the pious aspects of it.
