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

You swallowed the koolaid.  Peterson is just one flavor...but I suspect that you've taken sips from more than just that one cup.  
That's quite the yarn you keep spinning out. I'm not particularly proud of being white, or threatened because I'm white. However, it's pretty obvious to anyone not actively avoiding seeing the obvious, that in the venn diagram that is the PC world view, there's a whole lot of negative focus put on a particular demographic.

Pretend it's not true, if you like. But that will take a pretty willful avoidance of truth.

No. . . the way to run afoul of them is to attempt to enforce an agreement in good faith, and then not immediately back off when they pull the race card, the gay card, or whatever card they think will get them out of keeping their promises.


Quote:It probably would surprise you to find that the "individual merit and responsibility" bit is a part of the common complex in relation to opposition to pc or sj issues, huh?   The whole reason for pc or sj anything to exist..is that people are -not- being treated based upon their individual merit or responsibility.
Fight fire with fire, hey?

The problem is that since the ones who are really in charge are nowhere in sight, the rest of the demographic gets the blame by proxy. It's all founded on an asshole non-sequitur: almost all our society's villains are white, so each white person must accept responsibility for villainy. You can keep spinning your yarn about how my personal refusal to take shit from people to whom I've never done ill constitutes following an alt-right script. But no amount of spinning makes that true. It just means that you are more willing to shovel shit than to see your dogma criticized in any regard.

Did I own slaves? Underpay workers? Oppress anyone, any time? Nope. Never happened. Therefore, I do not consider that I have any moral debt to pay, or that I should be a good sport about taking bullshit, no matter what memes are being vomited out of someone's mouth.
