Because there is no "narrative of the left", or more focally, tenets of Democratic Party which assert women must value careers over motherhood, or tha...

Right, I'm sort of rubbing my eyes in bewilderment that someone felt it necessary to write 20+ paragraphs explaining how a blatantly racist taunt was ...

Can anyone make heads or tails of this Quillette article?
March 29, 2018 at 19:22
Is this honest-to-God that complicated for you? It's astonishing just how far you are willing to bending over backwards in order keep up with this fac...
March 29, 2018 at 18:56
Well I'm sorry you and your wife have had these experiences, but it remains unclear to me how these incidents have been extrapolated and constructed i...

The hell do you think was implied when he tweeted this in response to Justin Tredeau? Imagine Peterson answering the very questions he posed, as simpl...

Perhaps there are statements which are generalized in the OP, but I nevertheless recognize, within the OP, that as a whole, "Right-Wing politics" incl...
March 29, 2018 at 05:21
Not the case within the post you quoted, as evidenced by the fact that I think other forms of right-wing politics are "in-fashion" so to speak.
March 29, 2018 at 04:40
As with any large-scale social movement, there are valid, or justifiable criticisms of particular elements in modern-day Feminism (e.g. Feminist Epist...

Internet anonymity :wink:

I'm confused how being pro-choice, or the majority of the party planks listed on the Democratic Party's website adopts "major tenets of the postmodern...

Although it seems you are much more interested in Judaism as a culture, rather than as a practicing religion.
March 28, 2018 at 15:30
Expand on that

Our Holidays, save for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, are all about eating a lot of food
March 28, 2018 at 15:27
Congrats! :cheer: To answer your question, I find The Bible of general interest as an historically important document. As literature, I find it mostly...

Lol don't act like an overly attached significant other. I'm not obligated to immediately respond, particularly since it's very late at night (for bot...

Raised Conservative Judaism, not too religious of a household, all things considered. Mixed cheese and meat, ate lobster etc., but couldn't have bacon...

Yeah Zeus got a lot of action :wink: But I am Jewish.
March 28, 2018 at 03:35
I've read most of the Bible, skipping or skimming around here and there. I took classes as an undergrad on both the Tanakh and the New Testament. Most...

In response to a Justin Trudeau tweet commending those who came out to march in support Women's Rights, Peterson tweeted that such support leads to a ...

Given what we know about genetic research and data already, I sincerely doubt this speculative future will happen. We can certainly continue to promot...

The most effective solution is for the appropriate scientific community to promote the research showing that deleterious racial stereotypes are not va...
March 24, 2018 at 18:01
It's rather astonishing for me, because despite reading many different articles, I've feel I've been reading the same article over and over again.
March 24, 2018 at 17:44
I do, but the problem is that there are individuals, groups, movements, companies etc. some in greater positions of power than others, why may not. St...

Oriflamme: any flag, banner or standard, especially one that serves as a rallying point or symbol.
March 24, 2018 at 17:18
I only dislike it because I thing they advocate harmful, wrong ideas, which they attempt to dress up as politically neutral, and innocuous. Take, for ...
March 24, 2018 at 17:15
Yes, and? It doesn't at all conflict with what I said.
March 24, 2018 at 16:59
Why would I not read an increasingly popular and influential magazine advocating politics and ideas I disagree with? Should I just read things I alrea...
March 24, 2018 at 16:56
Most likely (young) white males.
March 24, 2018 at 16:54
No, but I'm not sure how that relates to anything I previously said.
March 24, 2018 at 16:35
Why is Quillette obsessed with race realism, and why do they, regardless of contributor, trot out the same bunk pseudo-scientific research? What a cur...
March 24, 2018 at 16:29
Right, so is this newfound publicity shaping it to be more of a mainstream movement rather than a mere underground coterie that it once was? And I wou...
March 24, 2018 at 16:04
I used the term "Conservatism" in the title and opening post as a synecdoche for right-wing political thought in general, rather than conservatism in ...

Oh well, spoiler alert: my conclusion was that Ayn Rand's philosophy was bad.
March 23, 2018 at 18:11
God dammit I just wrote a multi-paragraph post on the Ayn Rand thread and now the thread is gone........

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,”...

Lol, everything you don't like is "propaganda". You are a self-described constitutional Monarchist, you are not "slightly-left leaning".
March 23, 2018 at 16:53
"Conservative" is the wrong term here, which I admittedly used slap-dashedly. More appropriately would "Right-Wing" as a umbrella term encompasses all...

Also, just had a curious thought relating this idea of chronopoltics to the "X" History Month, where X is a historically/currently excluded minority (...
March 22, 2018 at 18:58
Exactly. Black-Americans have largely been excluded from - not merely the idyllic concept of the "American Dream", but, more substantively, the real p...

No, that the gender-pay gap does exist is not contentious. It's more or less accepted that it does. What is controversial is why the gender-pay gap ex...

Did anyone else hate the latest Star Wars movie?
March 22, 2018 at 15:58
I literally stated in the previous post that, "no one is 'refuting' Peterson's ideas" simple because they overlap with historically vile politics (whi...

No, I'm well aware that anti-natalism can flirt uncomfortably with eugenics and genocide. Personally, I feel very comfortable disassociating myself wi...

Very insightful post, and one (if I am understanding correctly) egregious example of the application of chrono-politics that immediately comes to mind...
March 21, 2018 at 17:21
Haha alrighty then.
March 21, 2018 at 17:04
You are misunderstanding entirely. You mistakenly believe that by contextualizing Peterson within a genealogy of intellectuals, some of whom were Fasc...
