Unfortunately we know that the progressive side will never compromise. If you give them anything it will never be enough. We just wanted to be left alone and enjoy our hobbies, but they had to infect it and obsessively grab for power like everything else.
If your enemy will not compromise, and will lie and slander you at every opportunity, you cannot give any ground. Especially not when something is true like the stolen US election. Trump may have to be "given up" simply for the fact that he was not able to do anything about it though.
When they say "compromise" they want you to think of a give and take kinda deal, even if that doesn't really make any sense when you think about it.
The important thing to keep in mind is what they really mean by "compromise". To give an example, it's like saying "the plane's ability to fly was compromised when its wings broke off". Because much like that hypothetical airplane, their version of compromise will eventually destroy anything that lets them in.
Time and time again, the left has shown that even if individuals know how to compromise - normally when the ideology rams up against something they personally are unable to give up - the ideology simply unpersons that activists and carries on, if anything more shrill than before.
Put simply, as a cult-like phenomena, I'm not sure the SocJus left is capable of giving up anything, much less wants to - particularly not foundational elements of their little cult like the equity talk.
Exactly.
Giving up on your most sacred beliefs can't be part of a compromise. The proposition makes no sense.
With this Peterson assumes that leftism is good, rational, practical - except these silly fringe things that they can get rid of, and then we can get along.
But the things that are wrong with leftism are at the heart of it. No I'm not talking about calls for more empathy, equality, or solidarity. Look beyond the surface, before the rhetoric, at the motivational levels, at the points of origins. Look at the code the NPCs are running on.
They are not going to compromise with their core assumptions. They're not going to give up on blank slate theory, or consequentialism, or their absolute relativism, or stop reducing everything into foucauldian power struggles.
This is not about what they say they want. No one anywhere is against empathy. It's about what they actually want, which is power.
I'm not against leftism because I can't accept a welfare state. That's a compromise I would be willing to make. There are many functioning social democracies. But social democracies aren't built on postmodern ideas, they don't strive for equity, they don't try to redistribute power at all costs, or sacrifice their futures with hopeless attempts at rectifying their pasts, they aren't socialist, or globalist.
They're generally open, free market economies rooted in national traditions with a moderate amount of regulation - often less than the US. Ideologically they're not majority leftists, they're traditionalists and christians with a welfare state. They're fairly rational, and while I can dissagree with them on many points or believe it's a system that only really works in smaller and more homogenous populations, I don't think they're outright insane.
I'm aginst leftism after realizing that leftists have impossible goals and that they are willing to go to any lenght, no matter how authoritarian and dystopan, to try to achieve them - and since the goals are impossible there is no chance of them stopping before they've created hell on earth, as they've done each and every time before. I'm against it because unchecked liberalism promotes social climbers, sociopaths, bullies, grifters, charlatans, and worse over everyone else.
Leftism is a brain virus that makes the infected angry, miserable, hateful, sadistic, irrational, and turns them into slaves who will say or do anything to further the virus' agenda. How do you compromise with that? You can't.
Leftism is evil.

no homo, but i love you for pointing out that social democracy is to the right of national-socialism.
i enjoy asking ppl who gasp at me calling hitler a leftie to provide me with a superlative to call it next to the 'right-extremist' nazis.
