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

I'm not talking only about white people.  I'm talking about EVERY group about which opinions are formed due to their demographics.  Black people do this, white people say that, Koreans are so whatever.  But yes, I'd say that to the PC left, those demographics which are demonized are, for sure:
-men
-white
-middle-aged
-bosses or wealthy people

It's true that at least in America, a great many bosses are also middle-aged white men, and they may not be as sensitive to their workers' needs as they should be. However, it's also true that by FAR the vast majority of white middle-aged men are NOT bosses or wealthy people, and come from families who probably never have been.

This is a division of humanity based not on merit, but on chance.  It's essential RNG regard, and nobody likes RNG.


Quote:You had a hard knock life.  Where is your privilege, you find yourself wondering.  Coincidentally, this is the alt right defense against white privilege.  It doesn't matter that it's not even adjacent to the subject of white privilege, it rings true for some people because hey, they -did- have a hard knock life.  There are entire swaths of very white demographics who've been fucked and left behind and, to them, the notion is downright odious.  Rural whites, here, for example.  
Preach, brother! And I can one-up you on that regard, perhaps, because my mother is half-native. I have not only an actually hard life, but the demographic sympathy to go along with it. I mean. . . genocide, both culturally and genetically.

Checkmate, bitches. The power is miiiiiiine!

Quote: I have to wonder, though, how insisting that people not drop the n bomb on tv has something to do with white privilege, even as alt right koolaid drinkers define it?  Or free speech, for that matter.  A deeper dive...in what way is an acknowledgement of past and current inequality or discrimination suffered by some other person....a comment on you?
Well, is it the n-bomb we should drop, or all denigrating terms, or none? Should calling a Korean a "gook," a word which goes back as recently as the 1950's, to child enslavement and institutionalized rape of teen or even pre-teen girls, also not be deserving of the list?

How about "trailer park trash?" Are not the constant jokes about cousin-marrying and inbreeding unfairly compounding on these peoples' hard lot in life? Nope, and we know why. Because most of them are politically conservative, and some of them are conspicuously racist, none of them are seen by the PC Left as worthy of protection from stereotyping.

And here it is. The PC Left is NOT a champion of fairness after all. It is a political camp, and the language used, and the demographic lines drawn, are very clearly Democrat vs. Republican. The PC left have convinced themselves that they are truly noble, in the biggest fart-sniffing movement in perhaps all of history, while still finding a way to justify prejudicially slinging shit at people less fortunate than they are.

Are we for fairness? Fine. Then make all denigrating terms based on demographics rather than personal merit illegal to say. Or, if we care about free speech, let dumb white kids rap songs with "nigger" in them a thousand times without confrontation. But one way or the other, when you start making checklists on which demographic groups deserve special consideration, and which can be dismissed off-hand, then you are very far from the supposed equality for which the democratic left are menat to stand.

I think if the vehemence with which you discuss Peterson was applied toward, say, any popular black figure no matter how ignorant, you'd see that this kind of rhetoric looked insane, and dangerously so.

That you feel no compulsion to pull any punches, not even a little, kind of typifies the point I'm making. You know that because of what he is, demographically speaking, you don't need to show any personal restraint whatsoever.
