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

There is no other purpose for scientific racism, which is neither scientific nor accurate, than to provide ideological cover for bigotry.  None.  

There is no purpose, other than to oppose those who oppose that bigotry, for claiming that the contents of scientific racism are shouted down out of ideological inconvenience, none.

I understand that you feel unfairly maligned for repeating the normalizing language of white supremacy...and maybe, all the way over there in korea..you really don't grasp what it is, where it comes from, or the effect that it has - but no one forces you to do this, say this, maintain these things, or die on this hill.  The only person maligning you, or stigmatizing you (there again white victimization rears it's hilarious head)...is you.  You've been given reams of information at this point, both about the specific contention you're losing your shit over, and it's intersection with alt right politics, institutional policy, and a resurgent white supremacy.  You can dig yourself out of this hole.  Or, at least, I'd like to believe that you can.

Or you can opt to attempt a preservation of pride, to drag out some argument between you and I, to bullshit me and yourself about some dollar bills, about the pc left, and social justice, about guys like peterson, about racism.  

It's always been your call.


All your posts are about this narrative that you're trying to spin.  This is a tactic you use often. . . bullshit for 50 pages, and then claim you've made loads and loads of great points.  

I went back almost 100 posts, and literally typed out what you talked about in every single thread.  Then I started going through your sources, and showed that you not only were your claims wrong, but your sources agreed with me.  Color me pretty unsurprised.

My position is simple.  The steps to effective action are:
1) Decide what values you'd like to see reflected in the world around you.
2)  Find out the facts, in as much detail and with as great accuracy as you can.
3)  Brain storm several solutions, and decide which one seems best.
4)  Do the solution.  Actually do it.

The PC Left steps are:
1)  Decide what should be considered right.
2)  Declare that all facts accord with (1)
3)  When presented with actual facts that are not in accord, blame the person presenting them for being a witch.  If you shout "witchcraft!" often enough, people might not notice that rather than saving anybody, you're just burning truth at the stake of Truth™.
4) Whatever you do, don't actually do anything, or have a point-- because then someone might attack your position, and the fairy tale will immediately dissipate into the ether.
