Rings true. Bottom line, leftists have real contempt for people.

If you listen closely you still hear the echos of desire to impose gulags on those who resist.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with this, but it is a video that deals with Obama’s friends, they Ayerses and what their hopes and dreams would mean to 25 million Americans....

What were the beliefs of the children subjugated by the Khmer Rouge determined by comrade?

Are you a commie by genetic predisposition or indoctrination?

So in other words, no, you didn’t watch it. Good to know you couldn’t be bothered to watch a 9 minute video and are instead basing everything off of the thread title.

Given that the link in that tweet appears to no longer be functional, I wouldn’t be able to tell you.

If you’re trying to insinuate that Jordan Peterson believes in eugenics, then I can say that (as far as I know) he does not.

Okay, let's break it down then.

First line: "Political belief is determined in large part by temperament and personality, and that's very strongly biologically influenced."

Given that this is a montage from a larger talk, we don't know what the original topic or question may have been, but he appears to strictly be talking about your average Western democratic system. Given this information, is there anything disagreeable about the above sentence?

(Also, your attempt to associate Peterson with Communism will not work, as he is an ardent anti-Marxist.)

>>”Political belief is determined in large part by temperament and personality, and that’s very strongly biologically influenced.”

So you’re a communist because of biology. Why? Why not?

Peterson is full of Eugenicist BULLSHYTE.

Break that down Super Genius.

"In large part. "Very strongly." In other words, not an absolute guarantee. In other words, in general.

Is he saying that you're 100% born to be a Communist? Of course not.

But to deny that our biological makeup does not influence our behaviors and decision-making is silly, in the same manner of the modern progressives who believe that men and women behave and act exactly alike, even though - in general! - this has been shown empirically to be false. Same thing with IQ.

Now you’re just talking, generally, out of the Southern end of your digestive tract.

Kinda like when Peterson, the Eugenicist, says conservatives can’t be creative.

Well, if you’re not going to refute my argument at all, and are just going to resort to ad hominem, I guess there’s no point in continuing, is there?

Well, if you’re not going to refute my argument at all,

Your / Peterson's Eugenicist "argument" is refuted by the FACT that plenty of conservatives are creative.



It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware
of whether or not his services are being used
as a means to accomplish evil ends -
and to act (or NOT) accordingly.
Have a nice, Ultra Wherever, day.

If Dr. Peterson had said categorically that no conservatives are creative, your point actually would be a refutation.

However, that is only a strawman, and not what Dr. Peterson actually said (starting at 0:06): "Conservatives tend to be lower in openness, which is a trait associated with creativity; and higher in conscientiousness, which is a trait associated with industriousness and orderliness." He is describing statistical trends. Patterns. And there are outliers to every trend. But what you said does not actually refute his point.

If you're going to refute someone's argument, represent it honestly.

I haven’t watched the video, but sometimes I wonder why I lean heavily towards conservatism and my sibling does not? Another sibling is likeminded, and another is blown by the wind and could be persuaded to be liberal.

It’s very interesting.
