Lecture: Identity politics and the Marxist lie of white privilege

I was in Vancouver Friday November 3rd talking at an event sponsored by the very active University of British Columbia Free Speech Club (start one on your campus -- if you're a student, that is :)).

I wanted to delve more deeply into the ideology on the radical side of the leftist spectrum, and to specifically address the idea of white privilege. Hopefully that's what I did.

Why did Jordan Peterson cross the road? The answer isn't obvious. It's no joke man.

My white privilege dictates that I can't even state actual federal crime statistics without having my comment deleted.

This video made me leave the woke left, I'm now writing about my experience in my book. Thank you Jordan for changing my life.

The fact that a "free speech club" has to exist is appalling in itself. I thought every person in Western society belonged to this club.

Jordan Peterson’s words are what we need during all this chaos.

Every time I listen to Jordan Peterson I take away 3 things:
1. I've learned a lot here
2. I haven't learned enough
3. Here's another book to read for your list

His wisdom helps me through these times when everyone is not thinking critically about issues. The bandwagon virtue signaling these days is moronic.

"Post-modernists don't believe in biology, but they all act like they do because they all die"
That's just golden😂

I was born in Eastern Europe before the fall of communism and grew up in the subsequent years. While on vacation in July 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland, I stubmbled upon a small demonstration of scottish and english communists in front of the Buchanan Galleries. One self titled economist and marxist tried to give me some leaflets which I refused and then started debating him about the horrors that communism had caused in my home country and how we were still struggling with the fallout of that system, almost thirty years after it disappeared. At this point, the self titled economist and marxist gave me exactly this argument that Dr. Peterson also describes, namely that what my country had experienced was not properly introduced communism, but rather a perverted, not "by the book" version of it. The first time I heard Peterson make this point it hit me like a ton of bricks.

People arguing for this kind of system are basically oblivious of what has happened in the countries that more or less willingly had to apply it. And anybody should be grateful about being allowed to live in a society which does not suppress individual freedoms for the sake of ideology.

The 2.2K Starbucks Marxists who downvoted this lecture never got past the title.

One JBP video a day, keeps the idiotic narratives/ideologies away.

Thank you Jordan Peterson for mentioning Bulgaria as well. I was born in the early 90s in Bulgaria, just a couple years after the official fall of communism. My parents decided to apply for the green card lottery in the late 90s and by a miracle, we ended up winning! We moved with absolutely nothing all the way to the USA, in Los Angeles. Fast forward 22 years and seeing what is happening to our current state of society in CA, the US, etc, has been quite scary. The stories my parents and grandma have shared with me about communism are horrific, but crucial to history. I'd like to share one of these stories from my grandma, who was born in 1930 and is 91 years old today actually! The story is disturbing to hear, but it puts things and history in perspective:

During the 40s, my grandma (who was just a little girl) said she remembers seeing mass graves of dead bodies in large dirt pits ready to be burned and/or buried (which was nothing new and common during that time). Of course, these were people that opposed the communist regime or were attempting to flee. She recalls her father would see neighborhood commoners pick-pocketing the dead bodies for change, watches, anything that was worth a penny. That is how desensitized people had become simply due to seeing death so often and for literally just scraping by... And this was only the beginning of the communist regime in Bulgaria. Her father told her in that moment, to never disrespect a deceased body in this way and that they will never reach this low. Unfortunately, some people had no other choice as this was their only way to get by.

I'd like to leave this on a positive note however, that by sharing these stories and listening to Jordan's lectures is so necessary for us to truly learn from history and move forward. Sending much love to you all that have experienced the horrors of communism.

What an intellectual treasure. Yes, we need him, but we need more like him. And we need us to be deeper thinkers, and also more courageous, so that we can stand up to political and social bullying, mostly from the left.

"Individuality is the ultimate minority" - Jordan Peterson. Damn, that's so true in more than just one way. People in the somewhat distant future will look back and say "at least they had people like Jordan b peterson"... I just hope it isn't followed by "... It's just too bad they didn't listen"

[topgtom]

He sacrificed his happiness to serve the truth
