The new left, same as the old left, has a goal. The revolution. Burn everything down and from these ashes will arise something better. At least that’s what it says in the Marxist’s tri-fold marketing literature which is spoon-fed to younger generations.
College campuses have long been recruitment centers with indoctrination programs that inculcate these ideas. Burn it all down, no matter what it is because IT is oppressive, and make sure you text your friends with your iPhone, from the Uber, on the way to one of a dozen coffee houses, where they have electricity, heat (winter) cool (summer), music, ambiance, all in walking distance to whatever you want or need.
Well, everything and that idea that you are not privileged to live in that part of the world. That your circumstances are not the result of great efforts and advancements despite the reality that there’s always something messed up about how we go here and where we are going.
Dave Rubin and Jordan Peterson are chatting with John Anderson about how good things are compared to how they’ve ever been. That the problem isn’t that there’s bad stuff – every culture, every civilization has that and most of them were far worse than this one. It’s a short video, about ten minutes, but well worth the time as both Rubin and Peterson talk about the problem and why we need to learn from history and all the things we got right. THings the new left and its army of young acolytes would burn to the ground and replace with what?
Dave Rubin speaks on how young believe they are oppressed despite the great privileges they enjoy that past generations could only dream of. Jordan Peterson then enters the discussion, stressing that labelling our society as an oppressive patriarchy is fundamentally flawed, explaining how our system is superior to alternative worldviews, like socialism.
