Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

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?

It's simple. "Correctness" requires a context. What is correctness in the context of political views? What is it to say that one person is right and another is wrong, and on what authority will one make such a claim?

This implies a hostile stance, not only in the world view, but in any approach to discussion or negotiation on the definitions. "We're right, it's in the name. Go fuck yourself." The idea of PC is not only an acknowledgement of values-- it is the establishment of a political group, in their minds, as the authority upon which value arguments are to be made. Fart sniffers, in other words.

The system is definitely rigged by the patriarchy, I can see why you think the left thinks that..they do.

Really? And who is this patriarchy, exactly, other than an archetypal scapegoat? Is it a deliberate collaboration of hundreds or thousands of different institutions-- banks, government offices, police, school principles, and so on? Is there some hidden cabal with regular meetings during which members gleefully rub their fingers together and plan ways to maintain their vice-like grip on the population?

Or is it something unspoken, a simple expression of evolved traits that time and time again manifests itself because that's what the human species are? For a guy who doesn't believe in free will, you are sure attributing a lot of blame to the agency of a demographic.
