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

Someone capable of presenting a factual view of the lefts ideology..even If I'm not really onboard with it or them.  That's who.

Quote:You've made pretty fair sport of psychoanalyzing me, and I've been very honest about my feelings and the reasons for them, so let me turn the tables.  I think it's likely that you see yourself in some of my comments.  When I complain about scapegoating, maybe you have made excuses that prevented you from living a life you might have preferred.  When I talk about the moral weakness of victimizing one's own demographic to forgive oneself for falling short, maybe you have yourself in one of those boxes, and you don't like that it's being referred to as an expression of poor character.  Maybe all your talk about your physical prowess was a mask for social insecurity, or physical infirmity, or poverty.  Maybe you just like standing up in a public place and shouting at someone about their politics, because it's the only scenario in which you feel you can claim some personal power.  Am I getting close?  Are we having fun yet?
I don't know,..are you having fun?  I'm not particularly bothered.  I don't have glass feefees and a persecution complex.  Tell me more about the leftists moral weakness of imaging that your demographic is being targeted, Mr White Male Identity Politics, lol.

Quote:To me, life is this: making goals, and following them.  Then making more goals, then following them.  There are no excuses for me, because no matter what happens, I believe that trying will bring better results than complaining.  I was abandoned by my mother from ages 4-7.  Sucks, but it doesn't stop me from pressing the "Enter" key on the final line of code of a great program.  I was bullied from 7-9 because I was quite literally retarded due to brain medication.  But that doesn't stop me from running that next step on the treadmill.  I was on the streets at 14, with dirty old gay guys trying to lure me into their houses with promises of a warm bed and a cup of hot chocolate.  But that doesn't stop me from teaching my ass off and trying to be someone who matters in my students' lives.

See the trend here?  I don't seek an identity for myself in order to enable failure-- and I cannot tolerate those moments when people who ARE like that interfere, even a little bit, with my pursuit of a decent narrative for my existence.

If black people want a more equitable position in the power dynamics of America, I hope they will make that their goal, and step up and fucking take it.  I don't want to hear "Wah wahhh the white man. . . "  If gay people want a better position, let them be a collective terror for anyone who will resist them.  I'd respect that more than a bunch of fucking talking heads blah blah blahing about heteronormative cisgender boo hoo hoo.  I was hoping that Occupy Wall Street was going to result in straight-up lynchings of executives, with notes scrawled in blood that said "billion dollar bonus" stapled to their milky-white chests.  I'd respect that.  I'd understand it-- and the Wall Street execs understood it too, because until they realized Occupy Wall Street was just an excuse for a picnic, they were (possibly literally) shitting their collective pants.
Here, lemme hand you one of my molotovs!  Wink

You've got a grievance with the blacks..you've got a grievance with teh gays. You've got alot of greivances. Perhaps you should accept the fact that your positions are categorized as irrelevant not because you have white skin and a dick..but because they are inadequate and misinformed? It's not white people, or white men...it's you....

Perhaps you should work to improve those positions and achieve personal growth by taking responsibility for your comments..and stop blaming an imaginary pc machine that's doing nothing to you..for all of your grievance based woes.....? Am I speaking your language, yet?
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!
