Justified? Completely. If you risk your career and your safety (along with the safety of your family) I think you have the right to make a living off of the knowledge you've gained from your own hard work. When you begin conning people, well I reckon I'm allowed to have a negative opinion of that. But until I see that happen, I'll continue to support him and enjoy his lectures and interviews.
When I saw the videos of him defending himself outside of the U of Toronto, it reminded me of what had happened/was happening at our universities re: Milo, Ben Shapiro, Charles Murray, Christina Hoff Summers. Someone has a very logical point/idea, and people lose their fucking minds. Compelled speech/loss of freedom of speech is the most dangerous thing I can think of, in regards to the well-being of civilization. He said "the combat of ideas is far preferable to actual combat.". I think we can all agree with that sentiment.
Second that Joe Rogan episode 👍 Let me add that if you haven't heard it, the audio version of his book is great. There are several parts where you can hear that he is upset/emotional over the topic, I believe the chapter on taking care of yourself. It's the voice of someone almost begging you to be good to yourself. I imagine that's why a lot of young males really tuned into him. I'm a female and I know that it hit me. I think of males coming to age in the last 10 years have probably not been told that often. More likely they've heard they're privileged, stupid, oppressive, violent, emotionally dead etc. Finally someone, whom you don't even know, is fucking begging you to treat yourself better, find a path and a meaning so you don't become a self-hating, cruel creature that pitifully rots in its shell, while spreading the decay to others. He's a real treat!
Yes! He references it in so many of them. I know some people are a little distrustful of him, I believe he did some work with the U.N. I have a hard time believing he'd be "their guy" when he pushes the value of many good habits. I've seen negative comments about how he charges money for some of his projects. I'd argue that he has a right to charge for his services; considering the lectures he's put out, for years, for free. Maybe I'm in the wrong, people have different perspectives regarding those things. Anyfuck, I have a friend who is a total weakling, not a soy boy but just incredibly emotionally weak, no ambition or thought for his future. I recommended 12 Rules for Life. He read it and it's helped him immensely. He started treating himself better, improving his diet/circle of friends/job/attitude. Maybe Peterson is secretly an evil globalist or greedy, but he's changed a lot of lives. Men with no male role model felt they finally found one, and learned how to turn their lives around. Sorry I went off on a tangent there hahaha. Definitely read the G.A, you will be heartbroken and angry one moment then feel sympathy and hope the next, all while receiving quite the history lesson!
Thank you for bringing up this book. It's one of my absolute favorites, despite how terribly sad it is. It's a window into what could very well be our future. I got a copy on audio recently and am listening to it right now. The similarities between what's happening now and what happened then are disturbing. If anyone here has not read it, I cannot suggest strongly enough that you should.
Hey! I follow you! Enjoyed your post about the hunger games outfits, seriously....the similarity is no coincidence, they really do see us as filthy peasants. I joined back in 2016 but just watched the conversations, never got too active but I'm getting more engaged now. (Kind of preferred parler but don't tell torba haha)
He is a wise man....does he need help in Chile? For I too would like to never experience a winter ever again. The short summers here are beautiful, but they're just that, short as fuck. I love this state but jesus...I need warmth for a majority of the year. I am delicate like baby.
Thanks for the info! I could exchange the mountains for a different kind of landscape, as long as it's not all desert haha. Looked at pictures of texas hill country and it's stunning. Texas has a bigger maga community than Maine, it would be nice to live near frens :)
Ignorant comment incoming. I've never been to Texas, all I've ever seen in pictures is a hot, dry, desert landscape. That cant be all of Texas ya? I love my forests and mountains here in Maine...y'all got any of them nice trees down there?
Yea I agree with you. I'm gonna do a little more searching into this. I don't think that looks like him either. Definitely similar, but I feel like Cruz is taller and bulkier than this guy.
