At a time of personal confusion and pain in my life, Jordan Peterson and the alt right gave me direction and purpose. I eventually realized that purpose was spreading a cruel, antisocial worldview — but not before I inflicted that cruelty on those around me.
I agree overall with the authors point, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out some solid media from the left side of things.
Some More News/Cody’s Showdy has been consistently great at firing back at alt-right figures like Peterson and Shapiro And related is the content put out by Robert Evans and Cool Zone Media. Behind the Bastards, The Woman’s War, It Could Happen Here are great. And they also did the collaboration in 2020 for Worst Year Ever which I really hope makes a return for 2024
Really most of the Cracked alum are great in this regard but those are the two sources I’ve got I’ve gotten the most enjoyment from
Smn did an extremely short and succinct piece on Peterson. A really quick watch.
Yeah it’s not very long, super easy, you can knock it out on a lunch break
