How much does Jordan Peterson deadlift, because I’m guessing it’s not a lot. His rhetoric is dangerous when it’s interpreted by a 19 year old as “the reason I can’t get laid is because of woke leftists.” If you’ve never been a 19 year old male take it from me that rhetoric is a recipe for disaster. It’s exactly how Al Qaeda used to recruit so many people. Now, if his message is to improve yourself, then great. Those aren’t the soundbites that get replayed on social media.

Guess who had trouble getting laid at 19? Me and probably 98% of the well-read, hetero male readers of the Bulwark. I noticed at the time that the starting 5 of our bball team were not impeded by woke society. For the life of me I still can’t figure that out. I’m so introspective that I took one look in the mirror and said “yeah, that makes sense.” I didn’t go out and shoot up a sorority. I worked on myself, earned a degree and starting making money so that I could hire a escort like any other self-respecting man 😁

Yeah, the weaponization/evolution of young men's insecurities into Gamergate, red-pilling, and the alt-right really is one of the bedrocks of the "new" right. NatCon seems to be trying to further integrate that strand and appeal to the fascist youth...

And yeah, wild how wokeism never seemed to stop some guys.
