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

[The Grand Nudger]

Or I see someone peddling crypotmarxist bullshit and you swallowing it wholesale.  There just must be something..other than his well known penchant for imagining that the slightest hint of equality leads to gulags....

We've done all of this before, and you decided he was going loon.  I think it's strange to see you mimicking the same nonsense 30 or so pages later.

Well, let me say this.  While I agree with his aversion to the PC Left, and strongly so, I don't think countering hysterical ideological stereotyping, and especially superlative language, is best countered by doing the exact same thing.  I find him a little too combative-- or at least that he picks his battles strangely.

That being said, as you know I agree with much of his aversion to the PC Left, and I think some of his views, especially with regard to evolutionary psychology, both to be representative of that field as a whole, and quite insightful for a layperson like me.  In dealing with you and Tiz, I'm more aware that your comments, which I thought mainly to be individual, seem more stereotyped-- you are representative of a movement.  And you certainly have expressed in no uncertain terms that you think so about me.

I've tried hard to see the "other side," and to discuss the race issue and solutions to it.  I don't think you've yet arrived at a position where you can see any merit or benefit in mutual understanding: "a racist is a racist," right?  But I'd say even among the worst hate groups, there are real ideas and positions that we can identify, and they shouldn't be downplayed as pointless hatred-- they should be fully understood, right down to the motivations behind them, and dealt with with some understandning.

Then what's this shit..............

That's the biggest problem I have with PC. It simply won't work. Practices which replace one dogma with another, but don't improve productivity, for example, might mean a redistribution of wealth-- but it will never mean that everyone has enough. The PC left will completely ignore the facts, and therefore demand restitution for this or that group, bigger welfare payments, higher minimum wage, and so on. That's nice, today, but what happens when 300 million people go to the market and discover that there's nothing but an old loaf of bread?

We KNOW what happens. We saw it for the entire second half of the 20th century.

.....if not hysterics........-identical- hysterics, no less?

Now you're whining at me about a mutual understanding with racists, lol? Awwwwwwwww, poor misunderstood racists! My heart truly bleeds, lol.
