Commentator Greg sent me a Youtube link to this video for which I'm extremely grateful.
Jordan Peterson is a Canadian academic who spoken out against the Gender Pronoun laws in Canada and fully understands where this is going. It's a long video but that last 25 minutes are worth the view.
It also links up with my last post, making TRUTH the cornerstone of Rightist thought.
Peterson is one righteous bastard.
Honour and Respect.
I'm happy to read that you liked it. His other videos (lectures, interviews, etc) are interesting, as well. He's also giving away PDF copies of his book on his website, and what I've read so far has been quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. I'll have a look.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to come back to this quote:
ReplyDelete"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is... in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to." ― Theodore Dalrymple
It would be very interesting to have Dalrymple and Peterson together for a discussion.

Agree.
Yep, that's a very insightful quote.
