It’s just you.

In the early days I checked out a couple of his lectures too because I knew he was problematic but couldn’t articulate why. What i realized when trying to decipher these lectures is just how much time he spends approaching making a point but literally never gets there.

This man operates on plausible deniability. He litters in truisms that dumb people latch onto (like that cleaning your room will make you feel better – no shit everyone knows that) and then goes into these half-baked diatribes like how women are agents of chaos, but never fully explains why, and then moves onto a new point, and everyone acts like he’s a genius because they draw their own conclusions based on those half-baked points.

Then when his fans start saying horrible shit to women, he takes no responsibility, because he never explicitly concluded on his point, leaving him with plausible deniability.

The man is a pseudointellectual at best, and is absolutely a charlatan.

Vodka is just a neutral spirit

Jordan Peterson is a charlatan

But is it the work they need, or is it the social interaction?

All the things she’s saying work gives us are things we can find (in more fulfilling ways even) outside of work.

Social interaction and purpose can be found through community and creation. Making things, growing things, cooking things, making music, etc.

People are so stuck in this box of capitalism we struggle to recognize that life could be enjoyable and fulfilling if we gave a shit about one another, but community isn’t profitable, hyper-individualism is.

Everytime I read something that makes me frustrated or that sounds ridiculous I assume it’s rage bait because it almost aways is.

The monopoly on violence for the most part comes from the military, so the choice they have is a military coup. Problem is he’s stacked the military with loyalists. But also what you said.

They should hire you!

The irony of the zionists killing semites while calling anyone who opposes it antisemitic.

Nah man, billionaires shouldn’t exist. It is literally impossible to amass that type of wealth without exploiting (stealing surplus value from) people working for you. Aside from that, it is more money than a person could ever spend and takes huge amounts of money out of the economy, slowing the velocity of money.

You should care, because it actively harms the economy to have that kind of wealth hoarding.

And I do vote, but that doesn’t help in a broken system built by people like this to enable and encourage exploitation. Do you really think that the people in power actually wish to hold people like this accountable? Of course they fuckin don’t, they’re the same goddamn people.

I work in tax and i can tell you the tax systems are broken once you pass a certain level of wealth most of us will never achieve in our lifetimes. This is by design.

Oooooof

Ohhh I thought you were accusing me of being a capitalist because you misinterpreted me as playing the “both sides” argument (this is why i was confused, but i do see people saying this kind of shit online).

I see it now, carry on!

Apparently a lot of people don’t mind being oppressed as long as the oppressors have decorum

Yes exactly!!

I understand the frustration around those saying the parties are the same, I really do, because in the short term, the chaos of the Trump administration would not be happening if Kamala were to get in, but I’m personally extremely frustrated by people putting the dems/kamala on a pedestal as if they were going to do anything to actually help people.

It’s an oligarchy through and through. Kamala wouldve prevented a lot of the mass deportation, but she wouldn’t have prevented the wars across the world, and she would’ve done very little to close the wealth gap between rich and poor.

The only thing that’ll cause real change is for the working class to finally realize that the billionaires are our real enemy and there are a lot more of us than there are of them.

To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they’re just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.

Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would’ve just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.

I think that’s just more the nature of adaptations. Dune is an incredibly difficult story to adapt, and his version is the best adaptation that currently exists. It’s also subjective and your opinion is hardly the consensus.

Are the family not also part of the owning class?

Moving on to kill all of the owning class because they are the source of all our problems tbh
