The rise of JP is just another example as of how the right desperately lacks leaders and mainstream champions.
At the time I thought JP's rise was more connected to the fact that so many millennials and zoomers grew up without a solid father figure, because his shit seemed straight up basic stuff you should've learned with your dad or older brother.
But then as his self help author aspect faded away, he started to take on this role of mainstream spokesman of the dissident right, specially after that infamous interview.
The right is thirsting for heroes, for champions, for public faces who they perceive to be on their side. And the Jews see this.
They've taken note, and they're happy to be the ones who choose and fund which individuals get the spotlight.
Pretty much all these right wing sub celebrities are either grifters or controlled opposition. The red pilled flamboyant fag, the RW tranny, the conservative black woman (or women)...
They're doing their thing, they just want to be famous (and maybe make some cash in the process). The fault here lies with social media addicted people on the right who can't stop giving these people clicks.
It’s ironic (or perhaps darkly poetic?) - his message of “Clean Your Room” echos the age-old wisdom:
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Peterson brought the idea of a rational faith (oxymoron? Not in my understanding) to a generation of Nietzscheian Atheist (the modern day culturally dominant religion) untermensches.
Then, instead of actually living the message of sacrifice which he rode to fame and wealth, he tried so desperately to cling to his worldly goods that his subsequent fall is utterly undeniable.
Like you say, everyone these days (not just the right imo) seeks a savior, a messiah, to take the yoke unto themselves alone - and it’s leading to false messiahs left and right. They don’t get that when we all take the yoke together, the weight ceases to be a burden.
Idk, hope that made sense, just a seemingly interesting parallel that came to mind reading your insightful comment.
It's not a good way to start an argument calling your reader intellectually lazy. Peterson says that anyone engaging in "identity politics" must be looking for a simple explanation to blame all his problems on, whereas people I hear from come to the jewish question after rather a lot of searching. This is the libertarian-to-reactionary and Trump-to-reactionary pipeline. We tried to come up with solutions whilst holding the mainstream's values about race. We made excuses for jews that we know, saying that's one of the good ones while he acts out the things that we think of as shameful stereotypes.
How many of us actually grew up anti-jew? I know I didn't hear a peep of counter-semitism growing up.
No, I didn't come to the jewish question looking for someone to blame my problems on at all. It's not even practical to have this knowledge. Sometimes you wish you didn't know. Rather the explanations for so many things just ran together in that direction. it's called noticing, Jordan.
Ed: Wow it gets even better. If you ask about the jews, you're a Nazi, an asshole, and a low IQ. Making the anti-thinking left's argument for them there, buddy. They couldn't do it any better.
Jordan burned his credibility years ago when he decided to purposefully lie about his “hero” Solzhenitsyn :
