Peterson's description of Gulag Archipelago was the final straw in my red-pilling on personal responsibility.
He paints a picture of a single man taking responsibility for his own actions changing the world. None of us know how truly powerful it is to walk with the dignity of being made in the image of our creator.
I was lost 6+ years ago. Grew up being into punk, metal... i was even a vegan for a while. Eventually ended up drinking far too much. Had a shit childhood and blamed the world for it. White privilege? That's what allowed dyfus to leave after doing nothing at all. Where was my privilege when my also white step dad was beating the piss out of us and allowed to continue?
First came Trump. I quit alcohol. Then slowly i started listening to JBP. Next thing I know i'm reading Gulag Archipelago and a ton of other philosophy/psychology books i never gave a shit about. I started taking responsibility for my own actions, realizing the entire world is shit and a gift. We all have bad stories. It's up to each of us to redeem our existence.
My life is infinitely better not because of these men, but because of the control i took over my life because of these men. I will cherish Jesus Christ, Donald J. Trump, Jordan B. Peterson, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn for the rest of my life.
I still dig metal, i still enjoy playing music. But i'm also far more careful to be into the music and not the scenes around them.
