Tell me, exactly who is oppressing whom?
Quote:Maybe you're right. I started at birth as a blank slate, and have built my views based on my experiences, including my social interactions, and things I've seen on public media throughout my life.Quote:"The normalizing propaganda of white supremacy." I think we're about one more step from getting where you're really at-- calling everyone who disagrees with any part of your narrative a Nazi.You're waiting for some other foot to fall when there is no other foot coming. You have been exposed to and absorbed normalizing propaganda, and are now redistributing it. I doubt you got it from stromfront or the kkks homepage.
However, I think much the same as you, about you. I think the PC Left has so convinced you to accept it part and parcel, and to organize everything in terms of "us vs. Nazi," that you are toeing the party line, even where it involves a deliberate attempt to limit free speech. I think that in your well-meaning desire to minimize oppression, you have been subscribed to a group which intends to establish a new kind of oppression.
I don't think Peterson is that far off, actually. Once a new dogma is established, and the consequences for not espousing it 100% become severe enough (jobs threatened, for example, or social status), then those in a position of power will be able to abuse that fact to control the population.
Please get this point. So long as intolerance is allowable, it doesn't matter what ideas were considered so sacrosanct to enact it-- it will be used to great effect by the wolves at the top of the food chain, to keep the sheeple at each other's throats while they profit.
