This is almost unbelievable. By now everyone knows who Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is, he's a clinical psychologist who has been warning about identify politics and the rise of the far left neo-Marxist postmodernists

This is him in 2017, and I quote (from 3:25 to 3:35):

"We're at a point now, where under the wrong circumstances, if the wrong person does the wrong thing, that the consequences will be very grave"

And now the killing of George Floyd happens in 2020, and the pent up far left mob is suddenly unleashed

The thing is here is that Peterson has his finger on the pulse of what is happening. He knows exactly what the problem is and has proven that by his foreshadowing of where identity politics, among other things, leads.

Do you think this mob is going to stop at forcing outcomes on a racial basis? There's no way, they are going for all out social revolution to replace the free market system with a centrally planned neo-maxist "utopia" where the wealth is evenly distributed to everyone. History has shown this OVER AND OVER again to be a disasterous proposition.

Wealth is not a zero sum gain, it is created and destroyed. When you eliminate the productive members of society on charges of privilege (like the Russians did to the productive farmers and literally killed them all in their revolution), then you basically starve everyone

He HAD, his finger on the pulse. Unfortunately his life fell apart since then and he's in a really bad way. Can happen to anyone.

You didn't hear about his severe addiction to benzodiazepines after his wife's terminal cancer diagnosis that left him in a medically induced coma for days?

Fair enough, but I would qualify that as his life falling apart.

Definitely, wife has rare cancer and rare surgical complications, then he gets autoimmune condition and medecine to treat it causes massive dependence causing severe Akathisia. Treatment centers make it worse, and in a last ditch effort find a place where they will put him in a medically induced coma in an ex-soviet union institution of all places

Damn if that's not hitting rock bottom I don't know what is. Imagine how strong you become if you can overcome all that
