Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?
RE: Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?
@ the "reading between the lines" bit.  Dude, you flat out told me you have anxiety and are acting on it.  You described the insecurity you feel in your business being one bad hiring decision away from disaster.  You have repeatedly referenced both your own identity and the identity politics you think the left is doing to that identity.  This is all swirling around a single object of fixation that may not actually exist.

I don't have to read between any lines there.

I might even argue that the hostility is intrinsic to the PC left because they DEFINE themselves in terms of their supposed oppression of the big bad white man.  Bad grades?  Fucking white guys.  Can't hold a job?  The system is rigged by the patriarchy.  Don't have a fucking doctor's note?  Asking where I've been is an ongoing infringement of my civil liberties by the Fucking Man.

Take away that target, and what's left?  Just a bunch of intellectual mediocrities with little ambition and less ability, and their intense discomfort with mirrors.

See..a moment ago it was a couple of low character individuals.

I can easily agree that those people exist..and that they're endlessly creative in finding ways to game anything that can be gamed..but you've now gone back to telling me how the PC left is morally weak.

How do we get from the fact that assholes exist.....to your appraisal of the pc left? Why do you think that the pc left blames bad grades on white guys? Why do you think that the pc left blames someones poor work ethic on white guys?

The system is definitely rigged by the patriarchy, I can see why you think the left thinks that..they do. The right also thinks this..they just think it's a good thing. It's traditional. It's "worked" for millenia.

Doctors note....?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
