I did my master in social work at Boston University, and all they taught me was postmodernism. They never said they were indoctrinating me in that, but they only analyzed social issues from that perspective and any other perspective was not allowed or put as morally wrong. Graduated as a social justice warrior in 2016, elevated by my professors for my skills as a SJW, treated social issues and even my patients under those lenses, and then after one year, I moved back to my home country, Peru. In Peru social issues are often addressed from the leftist perspective, we have single payers health care and education, we have minimum wage, and an acceptance for big powerful government as the savior for all social problems. I got to see how it did NOT work and created tyranny in which the most affected ones were the poor and vulnerable, the same people SJW claimed to advocate for. I couldn’t understand it, how come they implemented the social policies my professors said would create equity and instead created more social problems? I started questioning everything I was taught and I started seeing and living the injustices of the so called “social justice”. One year later of exposure to the “social justice” approach and I left the left and became a libertarian. Now I believe in the power of the individual to advance in life, I believe big governments are destined to be inefficient, and I believe dividing society in groups harms the country and the human spirit. I really hope the U.S and Canada can get their universities back from this ideology before is too late, I wouldn’t want them to become developing countries like mine that get to live the injustice of the so called "social justice".

Wow. This is extremely relevant in 2020!

Professor Peterson is exactly right about Education degrees. Mine was poisoned by post modern ideology. I always wondered why my lecturers scolded me and penalised my grades when I suggested that early childhood education needed a greater male presence to balance the role models young children have, and to acknowledge the value of what children can learn from women AND men. Missed out on graduating with honours thanks to my 'unacceptable' vision for early childhood teaching. But I dodged a bullet by not being indoctrinated.

I had to go to a party full of these leftist ideologues, the whole time they talked about race, splitting everyone into groups and camps. One dude went as far as to say "I hate straight white people" (He was a gay white male), I honestly couldn't make this up. My generation the millennials are beyond help at this point. We under perform at work because my fellow generation see the peak of the mountain not the climb. We constantly get offended at everything which has driven me to be a conservative. I didn't have it easy but that doesn't make me oppressed. Having to work through barriers makes you stronger and a better person. This whole victim culture needs to stop, it's not healthy for society. It is making things worse.

I was a women’s studies major at UCLA and this is absolutely spot on.

"If you were a positive Stalin, one of the negative Stalins would have come along and killed you real quick" - brilliant and true

After going through school in Sweden we are not tought shit about communism and its horrific past. I had to educate myself as an adult to the horrors that was/is communism

[joshuacarrico]

I'm actually surprised Peterson is not mysteriously dead.

"Equity trumps everything" - yeah, we will all be equal as slaves...

I can't believe I just caught up with this now, and the publication date was July 2017? That means that Jordan Peterson almost precisely predicted the Lindsay Shepherd scandal. Wow. Good work.

"Small minority who are pushing these things." The same happened with Mao. He only had a small band, but they were able to control 100s of millions of people.

My sister is a canadian citizen. My brother is Australian citizen. Iam still an Indian. I have persuaded them to side with Conservatives.Peterson is bang on when he warns immigrants- 'the libs are not your friends"!

[musesaid]

You should listen Yuri Bezmanov. This what he was talked about 40 years ago.

[justinwatkins]

Dammit where's the super like button!

[ludwigmack]

When he speaks, I feel like he's speaking about my home coutry, Argentina. All these things have gone far too deep.

[stvkomer]

It's worse now 2019 than anyone could have imagined in 2017

JP your your wisdom and intelligence are truly light in a very dark moment in history.

[hughoxford]

Thank God for Jordan Peterson. I mean that quite literally.

I've been waiting my entire life for someone to be able to articulate so brilliantly what I have not been able to.
Dr. Peterson's bravery and ideas gives me so much hope. It's late in the game, for certain, however, the Fat Lady hasn't sung yet. Oops, did I "trigger" someone?
