Joe Rogan - Why Jordan Peterson & Bret Weinstein Were Targeted

The extent to which Jordan is the only one of us that they've really gone after like this. Well he's first of all, he became famous from this. Right? This is the battle was how he emerged. He emerged from this battle over the use of compelled pronouns for various genders like the 28, 78 different genders. Similar but not. Okay. Okay the difference is Brett's position, he comes from a different place. The way they were going at him was so much more unreasonable. They were saying right away that what he has to do is leave work because he's white. They were basically saying a racist thing and everyone universally acknowledges as racist except for these super lefties who thought that it made sense because in their mind every white person is somehow or another guilty of at least at the very least using your privilege to advance the world at the to the negative impact of people of color and people of other ethnicities. So they decided that they are gonna have a day of exclusion and instead of this day of absence having black people and people of color stay home they were gonna kick white people out. So it became an aggressive act instead of an act of appreciation. It became an act of punishment or an act of exclusion. Right. And by people that are clearly out of their fucking mind. That was also part of the problem. Their arguments were incoherent. You would see that fucking stupid president of the university standing in front of those kids and they told them to put his hands down because he was threatening. You're scaring us. You're making violent gestures with your hands. So he puts his hands down and they start laughing. Okay this is nonsense now. You're in little kids. You got little kids running. You got War of the Flies on a grand scale in a state university and it's all I mean this is a public university right? I mean they get funding right? This is all chaos. Nobody agrees. They got baseball bats. They're looking for him if he's coming back to the school. The kids form these vigilante groups with weapons over what? Like who's threatening you? Like what is happening here that you need weapons? Okay but the big story there was the non-reporting. What do you mean? Well the New York Times, Washington Post, all of these major organs, NPR. They didn't report on that? They didn't want to touch the story. Well this is what this is my my big theory here is that every outfit that has a grand narrative cannot report the news that goes counter narrative. So racism by blacks against whites cannot be reported by any outfit that believes that racism is impossible by blacks against whites. That's such a preposterous position. The idea that racism is exclusive to any group. Well but the redefinition of that term. The redefinition can suck a fat dick. It's a stupid redefinition. Well that's true. This idea that the only way you can be racist is if you have power over that other group. That's nonsense. Every human beings act as individuals and they always have power over each other. You have power to intimidate. You have power to isolate. You have power if there's more than a few of you. But what got confusing about this is that there is no pretense of consistency. I mean on that side of the aisle it's like we're gonna throw out the following 17 completely contradictory rules and then we'll tell you which rule is operative in any given moment. So you know I was gonna throw out this concept of the Hilbert problems for social justice. So one of them is you cannot understand me because my experience is too different and you must understand me because my is so important. Yeah. Right or we are all similar enough that any deviation from 50-50 shows you the amount of sexism in a workforce and we are all so different that once you include women in previously male occupations you will see a great benefit because of the diversity of opinion. Well so there are all these self-contradictory couplets. Right. That you have to agree to. Well that's the weird thing is who assume that I just buy all of your stuff. I think we've made a terrible tactical error. We fought these bad ideas rather than saying maybe we should just accept all of your bad ideas and then show you what kind of weird world. No. Yes. No. No no no. You can't do that because they don't make sense. You can't say oh yeah they make sense. Well then how do I know when you're serious? Well but that's my point. If you just let those through and those things fail. But that's my point is that by showing the internal, this is in mathematics we call this reductio ad absurdum that once you take on too many different points you show the conflicts showing that those things can't all be true. There's no way in which if I accept all of your ideas I can run anything.
