I try to give sources credit whenever their ideas influence me, or become part of my worldview. I seek to defraud no one.I have watched about 100 Prager U, 5 minute videos, and am watching a few Jordan Peterson videos.
I love the Prager U video with Peterson narrating, entitled "Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Children".
It seems a chilling, accurate indictment of Progressive professors on campus and the damage they are doing to America while indoctrinating the young.
The doctors are teaching young people that America is corrupt, oppressive, nihilistic and patriarchcal. America is the least racist and oppressive society in the world, certainly not nihilistic--like the ideology of the Marxist professors--nor patriarchcal. Women here can pretty much do whatever they seek to achieve.
Jordan accuses these schoolmasters of seeking to undermine Western civilization, and that Western imperialism is the root cause of all Third World problems.
They are revolutionaries out to destroy America and their Marxist imperialism ruined much of the Third World.
The schoolmasters are posmodernist, Marxist nihilists that teach that truth is subjective. We Conservatives insist that tradition is the best guide as we go forward. We want to tweak gently our Western and American heritage. Truth may not be objectively true, but we can know it with high enough probable certainty to avoid relativistic nihilism.
Jordan accuses the postmodernist hacks of destroying campus, and not seek to bring revolution to our entire way of life, wiping it off the face of the earth. College deans seek to root out discrimination where little or none exists. Professors support student violence to shut down free speech on campus. They are language police inventing fabricated gender pronouns. They launch progressive activism. They insist that sex differences are not biological, but are socially constructed. These are some of the charges that Jordan brings against campus Marxists.
Jordan denounces professors for churning out degreed kids that cannot think critically, cannot speak properly or write clearly. The destructive agenda of their resentment-ridden, ideological teachers has made them turn their back on those dead white males, the patriarchs of Western Civilization.
Jordan lambastes Marxist professors for their unholy trinity of initiatives: Diversity of identity groups not opinions; Equity, equality of opportunity is replaced by equality of outcome; Identity-based quotas to get new equity, overlooking merited personal performance.
Three patterns of traditional America are under attack by these Progressive professors, 1. Freedom of Speech. The Leftists denythat people of good will can exchange ideas and reach consensus. Free speech is to be squelched as part of the revolution to install vying, replacement identity-groups violently contesting each other for power in a Hobbesian nightmare world.
Free speech is a tool of capitalist patriarchs so it can be justifiably be suppressed to further the Marxist revolution.
Capitalism is rejected, though it has made billions wealthier, freer and happier. Marxism brought us collapsed economies and the murder of tens of millions.
Politics of Indentiy: you are a member of some race, class, sexual or gender orientation, but not a unique individual. Some identity groups are oppressors and some are victims. The oppressors do no good and the victims do not harm, so I would add that that oppressors are subhumans so anything can be done to them--for example, genocide against the white race. Jordan warns that such ideas of victimization justify the use of power and engender inter-group conflicts.
He admonishes that if we do not wake up the corrupt, campus Marxists, these post-modernist Communists now disguising their real ideology behind identity politics, if unchecked, will ruin and destroy America, Western society as they have ruined our campuses.
We conservatives have our work cut out for us.
