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

[The Grand Nudger]

See, that's the difference.  When people seek facts, you see that AS malicious intent already.  I don't.

Those channels were seeking subs, not facts.  It's unfortunate that they became a vehicle for normalization, but that's how normalization works.  Fact.

No, I think the writer of that article is basically sincere.  He's not hysterically raving about Harris' white, or about his white supremacist script carrying.  He wants to frame things in a certain way, and that's fine.

Did you find anything in the article that might have relevance to the way that you have engaged in this discussion?  

Beyond that, I think that you might be swallowing the koolaid here, as well..because this conversation isn't actually occurring at high levels of academia.  At that level, the issue has been settled definitively and not in favor of scientific racism.  It's occurring at the pulp level of popular consumption where it's maintenance is politically useful and it's inaccuracy completely irrelevant.  

Bullshit.

What, specifically..is bullshit about that?  That academia has come done resoundingly against scientific racism, that scientific racism persists in spite of that at the popular level as a political or ideological lever, or that scientific racism is innacurate?  

The PC left was identified as an annoying bunch of gits long before the alt-right ever existed.  If you choose to call them, alt-right, then rock and roll.  But I'd say very many among the moderate right AND the moderate left don't like the meme-spouting, fact-avoiding bullshit.  When the "alt-right" consist of normal people who don't like forced demographic division as a political ideology are called "alt-right," then you are using words wrongly.

I think you might want to take another look into american political history on that one.  Specifically between 1970 and 1990. Your own complaints are the current incarnation of an anxiety that arose within a subset of the right (and the white, lol) in response to a newly solidified reality of civil rights...and a shifting demographic of political power combined with a realignment of the dem party - what passes for leftism in Murrica (all in the context of a then current cold war). The alt right contains plenty of normal people...that's kindof the problem. Alot of normal people are firmly alt right. That wasn't accidental...it took alot of normalizing effort. Having completed that effort on the right (all the way to whitehouse, no less), the effort has been expanded to include you and members of the disaffected left, by playing up to your fears and resentments, by giving you the patina of a credible basis for the ideology. By centering you.

As I've noted many times in thread, none of the fears produced by that anxiety have come to pass....but..like the return of christ....those afflicted are still waiting, anyday now.

I get that pc and sj annoy you..but is that actually a problem? Or, rather, is it anyone else's problem?
