The Extent
Not-unusual feeling uneasy about a post, in this instance, the last one.
A bit too giddy over Jordan. Not to take away from what he said and the dynamics of the interview. An emotional response from a fan. Me.
BUT in more honest and insightful light. Man is half and half. Much like the rest of the sound-respectable crowd. Reputation over reason. Illegitimate hope over visions of reality. Control over would be truth to proper-upset.
All that -- should have me switch off. Although like we all do and some always do. Live like the beast is more locked up than-is. Pretend the years will roll on as. Might-ish, suppose. But what then? Building for a bigger smash?
Did a quick search for critics got Colin Robertson.
JP doesn't talk to ethnic-based nationalists. Here's the kicker -- gets someone dis-invited at an event he speaks at. What a crazy blind spot in the face of... facing up. Everything he preaches says otherwise.
Take ten minutes of flicking about to hear him rap on the foolishness of this kind of move. Surely he could sit at the event, listen to 'them' say nothing... Or reckon threatened in the questioning proximity? Tis all too much.
You'd think. Accept an invite, see said-despicable-to fellow contributors, make excuses and not attend. But to add to the weakling look and get the person kicked-off -- at a free speech bash?
Someone's got a prob. That will not go away through this strategy.
Must say don't like the left or right. Both slack-off pretenders. Use fake-terror to serve their ends. This aside, although not up for talking-up come reshaping ethnonational, Colin conducts himself well.
Jordan looks weak and for once -- floundering.
Yet, birds of the same flock. Content to excuse off in sleepy analysis and the dark underside.
With JP, no choice, assuming suspects/knows and to keep-up the fame. There be no invites if he dared call or even say 'look'. Suppose Colin likewise, be out of comrades.
No one associated with a truther tag gets mainstream airtime unless agreements to avoid, accepted. Or, allowed much, in an established political tribe. And yup, excluded from open thinking type events.
Again -- all in this mode of denial, on a losing wicket. "Gotcha".
Talking political social orders any which way and not exposing the scam of scams is daft. This must proceed prescriptions for national or otherwise structures etc.
Refusing to assess the context -- think y'edgy -- at best ignorant and worse, duplicitous.
Right, and Left and ones get termed 'radical' all enjoy the deception. Love Govt. inc. setting up their pitch.
Get the need for individuals to shake out psychological slumber. Peterson does this in a way that carries obvious gushings of compassion. As say, half 'n half he remains.
To close, this note and proviso. His theology employs unexplained presumptions. Jordan assumes God is not in this realm and time-space. And never really talks theology, except within comfortable company. Or careful constructed parameters. And apt in deflecting, if a stranger questions.
All in all, the don't-do-ethno line will reemerge and prove interesting to watch stumble around. As for the line itself, they win-somewhat by default, in becoming the cannot-handle mob.
But they lie. Know there's more to terrorism than culture and religion. As does Peterson. Living with? What must this do someone?
Free -- to an extent.
Uppydate: Obviously JP does talk theology... guess am gnarled at his comment and "of course God is...". Ought to say (for me y'understand) he's the most inviting-into theology public figure in a generation. And here's -- Jordan Peterson analyzes Cathy Newman.
