In his youth, Jordan Peterson worked with the socialist party in Northern Alberta—good folks who were mostly concerned about the working class. And everything was going along fine until he met the real socialists and encountered a life-changing disconnect.
” He got disenchanted, in part, because when he went to eh conventions of the party, met the radical types, and they are the same as they are now, I thought, what the hell’s up with you people? You’re just bitter and resentful. You claim to be caring for the poor but that’s just a lie. You’re just bitter and resentfull.
He adds some excellent points, some of them humorous, about small business and work and political ethics and interests of the productive class who (he believes) have the moral upper hand. But they don’t know what to do with that.
He then explores the problems they (and conservatives in general) have when trying to articulate their ethos or their troubles when confronted by the political left.
About eight minutes and very interesting. You may want to watch it more than once. I did.
