And for a while I pushed back against that… But then I started to realize that that was the wrong response. The right response is: Why does it disturb you so much that there’s a group of people who by your own admission are disaffected and angry and alienated and young, and I’m helping them? And why is that exactly a problem? What is it that I’m supposed to be doing with them? Just out of curiosity: if you had your druthers, would I ignore them? Would no one talk to them? Is that actually what you want? Well the answer seems quite clear that that is exactly what is wanted. Because there’s this implicit assumption in all of this critique that in my very active aid, I’m doing something immoral. Immoral enough to be parodied as Red Skull. So, just what the hell’s going on here?” — Jordan Peterson May 02, 2021 at 11:21PM
