The Marxists are in a spot of bother at the moment, and it's not theoretical.
Cathy Newman was as far out of her depth as a lobster on the moon. Peterson carefully explained how serotonin levels in individual lobsters determine each lobster’s place in a lobster hierarchy, and that similarly, in humans, serotonin levels indicate a human’s place in human hierarchical society. He did this to refute the claim that human hierarchies are purely a product of a “white patriarchy”.
The hapless, witless hack then actually asked him this question
No Cathy, for the umpteenth time in this car crash interview he wasn’t saying that. He was saying what he was saying. If you are going to put words in someone’s mouth, at least make sure that they are good words, phrases or sentences. Don’t put words into your guest’s mouth that make you look like a zealous cretin.Quote:
So let me get this straight...you are saying that we should organise our societies along the lines of the lobsters?”
Sexists and racists playtime again.
AT LEAST MOVE THIS SHYTE TO THE POLITICS BOARDS MIKE AND THE MODS.
Peterson talks a lot about the problem of polarisation here. Perhaps a symptom we're seeing on CCMB too?

I consider that intelligent debate is more likely to take place if many labels are eschewed. Terms like 'Remoaners', 'political correctness' far right/far left, 'snowflake' and the like speak volumes of the person using them rather than the ability to discuss important matters with all the nuances they deserve.
So you're saying that you're both sexist and racist? (joke :thumbup:)
36 times throughout the interview she utters those immortal words "You're saying that...". Total car crash of an interview and great that Peterson is getting serious exposure (well, Channel 4....).
The fallout has also been very predictable: standard victim-playing tactics and attempts made to make absurd slurs on the person voicing opposing views. Labelling him a mouthpiece for the "alt-right" (whoever they are) is fairly standard practice and it seems that more and more people see through this kind of crap. Bravo.
