Gabor Maté on Jordan Peterson

and you are, you are from Canada, yes, one of the biggest phenomena of recent years has been Jordan Peterson, yes, what have we made of him? The rise of him and what he says about the culture that people are so thirsty for what. He is talking about Peterson first, he was very brilliant. I saw him as an articulate and in some ways convincing speaker, so he said that he is an attractive figure in some ways. When I read it, I feel a lot of pent up anger in it, in fact I think his voice choking on rage fell from a farm is interesting as he talks about the rage you have to deal with that.

I don't think you understand how angry his still is, and if you look at his websites, the comments are full of rage. his young acolytes now that is something energetic it is his energy that attracts people as much as what he really teaches secondly, he teaches a repression, I mean, he, quite rightly, takes a topic in which someone imposes the Cencon language and him, with great reason and righteousness, since, above all, not being dictated about what language I am going to use well, well for him, I am in favor of not imposing the language, on the one hand, on the other hand , he, on the other hand, advocates repression in his book, talks about getting angry at your child's needs. sitting alone until they get over it instead of understanding why a child would be angry - what frustrations they are having and what human contact they need to help them get over that anger, he says, suppressing the anger, so it's about high standards e.g. , circuit and it is very interesting, it talks about children, it talks about humble little vermin and little monsters, etc.

I know it's supposed to be funny, but it's also a certain way of thinking about the little boy, so I fundamentally see it as an agent of repression. posing as an agent of libertarianism, not to mention that he is so clueless about what he considers to be conspiracies of left-wing intellectuals, they seem to be the bête noire of him being a left-wing intellectual myself. I would like to talk to him, so now, why were you so angry with Jordan? What were you so afraid of? We talk about these damn Marxists and any point is very accurate, the whole horror that occurred under the so-called Marxist regimes, particularly in the Soviet Union. he is absolutely accurate about that, but then he promotes Christianity.

Should he tell her about the mass murders that occurred in the name of Christianity? Should he tell them about all the millions who were slaughtered in the name of the gentle Jesus? In other words, let's be fair. If he seems to choose ideologies to attack, abhor and embrace other ideologies that are just as murderous in practice, it is sometimes a much more interesting question for me: what happened in Eastern Europe? How is it that under an ogia so many people were supposed to be liberated that we were oppressed I come from Eastern Europe I was born in Hungary he doesn't have to tell me what it was like, but what if he asks me how is it that a religious philosophy that was meant to promote love, acceptance and compassion has become an agent of two? millions of AOV pressure and oppression and and and and and and killing, so can we be objective or will we just be tribal about it?

I have a lot to say to Jordan or a lot, so I actually appreciate some of what he says. and as interesting as I find them, I think he is a very mixed figure, very much an occasion for repression.
