And are we degenerate in a profoundly threatening manner?
I think the answer to that may well be yes and
that in and of itself does not provide
indication of Western derangement, but.
>> Poor Jordan Peterson having a very public unraveling in a recent video.
He actually tried peace hand at geopolitical analysis and
it didn't go so well.
Now, here he is floating a theory, a big brain idea that Russia actually invaded
Ukraine because of woke-ism here in the United States.
And he uses Ketanji Brown Jackson as an example to make his point,
let's get to the next video.
>> And are we degenerate in a profoundly threatening manner.
I think the answer to that may well be yes.
The idea that we are ensconced in a culture war has become
a rhetorical commonplace.
How serious is that war?
Is it serious enough to increase the probability that Russia say will be
motivated to invade and potentially incapacitate Ukraine merely to keep
the pathological west out of that country?
Which is a key part of the historically Russian sphere of influence?
>> What? >> Yeah, no, I love this so much Anna,
because they think he's an intellectual.
All right, there's a couple of different things here,
the Ukraine point is hilarious.
I'm gonna get to that in a second.
But I realized as I watched that a couple of times what he's doing and
why they think he's an intellectual because he uses words like ensconced, so
they don't know what it means.
His followers don't know what it means.
So they think this guy's so smart and
he will casually throw in things like in and of itself.
>> Is that offensive word?
>> No, but it sounds he's professorial, right.
And he said and then are we deranged in a profoundly threatening manner?
>> What is that?
>> There's theoretically big words in there.
>> I think you're deranged.
Yes, I do think you are deranged.
>> But are we deranged in a profoundly threatening manner?
>> More of an amusing manner.
>> What does that I mean?
So, and then he talked about how it has become our ensconced something or
other has become rhetorical commonplace.
Wait, that doesn't even make any sense grammar.
That's not proper grammar.
>> No Jenk, he knows what he's talking about, you don't.
>> No, it's word salad.
To be fair to the right-wing,
establishment Democrats love word salad too.
Pete Buttigieg is like the Jordan Peterson of the Democratic Party.
He'll do word salad with fancy SAT words and establishment donors.
I'm, my God, I love this guy, right.
And so Jordan Peterson here now to the main point on Ukraine,
Russia invaded Ukraine because they were worried about how America is too woke.
>> Mm-hm. >> No, come on,
can anyone be that unintelligent to believe that that's true?
That Putin was so worried about our moral fiber in America and
that it may spread to Ukraine, which might then spread to Russia.
And so he thought I'm going to risk my whole legacy, my military,
our entire economy, maybe even getting killed myself when enough people are.
Because I'm worried about Ketanji Brown Jackson and trans people and
woke, are you insane, do you think Putin thought that?
>> Yes, he's insane.
Listen to be fair, Putin is very concerned about the use of pronouns and
so I mean, who wouldn't go to war over that, am I right?
No, I mean this is brain worms.
This is what happens when your entire grift and
your entire financial career relies on culture war narratives and
fearmongering about literally the least powerful people in society, right.
His entire career was catapulted over using proper pronouns for
people in the transgender community.
That's it, and even though that has been so lucrative for
people like Jordan Peterson, he's gone on nationwide tours over that issue, right.
Making a ton of money.
He still puts himself in the position of a poor oppressed individual, right.
Putting himself in the position of someone who's been canceled.
Listen, I wanna make one insanely important point here for
some of the young men who might be watching,
some of the young men who turned to people like Jordan Peterson for guidance, okay.
Please don't, I understand how a lot of young people in this country,
particularly young men are feeling, okay.
Our society has been dismantled in so many ways,
our institutions have been dismantled.
It feels there's no future, there's no hope.
But if we fight together, we can fight for a better country,
a better world, I know we can get there.
Turning to someone who supports the very dismantling of the system that
has caused so much pain and suffering ain't the answer.
You wanna take his advice and clean your room, clean your room.
I make my bed every day, makes me feel better, right.
That's not gonna solve your problems.
This guy is a lunatic, he is crazy.
And I promise you whatever problems you're experiencing in life is not caused by
the scapegoats that they're pointing to.
It's caused by the people at the very top who have robbed us,
who have robbed our institutions, who have destroyed this country for
their own personal financial gain, okay.
Transgender people, women, whatever you've been directed to hate,
they're not the ones ruining your life bro, they're just not.
The ones ruining your life are the ones who promote clowns like Jordan Peterson
and the ones who support the policies that again have robbed you.
Have taken money out of your taxes and redistributed that wealth to the very top.
That's why you're feeling frustrated.
>> Yeah, you didn't lose economic dignity because of trans folks.
>> No [LAUGH].
>> No, that is meant to distract you from the robbery and so but
the thing I'm most amused with Jordan Peterson, I don't care that he's crazy.
It was Trump I cared because the guy was the leader of the of America and
the free world and all that and had potential for massive damage and
did cause massive damage.
Jordan Peterson can be crazy all he wants.
I'm just mainly amused at his lack of intelligence and
how the right-wing thinks that he's the paragon of intellectualism.
When he makes totally nonsensical points that anyone can pick
apart with incredible ease.
>> Now in one final thing, look we can make fun of that video and we will we
have, but understand he's providing cover for Russia's invasion into Ukraine.
>> Of course, yeah.
>> Right, and I don't know, so when he went to Russia to get treatment for
his benzo addiction, was he convinced that Vladimir Putin can do no wrong.
I don't know what happened there.
How do you look at what's happening in Ukraine with Russia's invasion and
think, no let me provide an excuse for why Putin did it?
And provide cover for why Putin did it?
It's because of America and not because of America's foreign policy.
Not because of America's involvement with NATO.
No, I'm not gonna do any serious analysis here.
I'm gonna always tie it back to the manufacturer culture wars that I
engage in.
That's Jordan Peterson for you, big brains.
>> Yeah, and look,
Putin engages in cultural wars in his own domestic context, why?
Because he cares about the moral degeneration of western values,
[LAUGH] come on guys.
No, it's because it's an easy way to rile up the right-wing in his own country and
have them rally behind him unquestioningly.
And then ironically Jordan Peterson that comes in and
pretends the real issue is cultural wars and then Putin has a big heart and
he's really worried about the moral decay of all of us.
And that's why him taking over Ukraine in a bloody war and
killing thousands of Ukrainians is the right and moral thing to do.
Do you see how sick that is?
>> So we're not done because I had mentioned soon to be
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Jordan Peterson seems to be in a tizzy
over the fact that she's a black woman who was confirmed.
So let's take a look at what he had to say about her.
And then we'll try to figure out how this ties into Russia's invasion.
>> It remains true that sex and race, trumped qualification and
then a moral case was made for that decision.
And that in and of itself does not provide indication of western derangement.
But but but.
When the self same candidate was asked directly in
an interview during the confirmation process,
the very straightforward question.
What is a woman which granted was a gotcha question which
only goes to show the severity of our current level of derangement.
And so it's no excuse for failure to answer.
She said, I'm not a biologist.
That is not a good answer.
>> That is not a good answer.
But but but, what is this?
>> [LAUGH] look at the old setting man.
He looks like a caricature of a bond villain.
>> Listen, she didn't wanna answer the transphobic question.
You guys know that, okay, we all know what all you right-wingers are up to, right.
It's a Supreme Court, just a potential Supreme Court Justice,
a nominee who's sitting through a confirmation hearing.
And you have these clown ass senators, Republican Senator.
But but, asking what is a woman?
We all know why they ask that question.
Okay, it is a waste of time.
He knows it's a waste of time, but he loves it.
They love it so much because how are they gonna continue their grift if
they don't have more content to latch onto all precious, precious content,
precious content about transphobia I love it.
But but, you're such a creep man.
Dude's a creep, I would die if this was my dad.
>> [LAUGH] >> I
wouldn't banish myself from public life.
I'd be, I can't, this is I can't do it, I'm gone bye.
I would strap him in a chair in a basement and
I wouldn't let him leave until he promises me that he'd stop embarrassing our family.
What are you doing bro?
And let me just talk about Ketanji Brown Jackson and the idea that the only
reason why she was nominated is because she's a black woman and that was it.
Contrary to what people like Jordan Peterson believe,
Ketanji Brown Jackson is very much qualified for the job.
She proved that in her handling of the confirmation hearing,
she proved that in her lengthy career as a judge.
I'm not I'm not even gonna entertain it, to just simply say no,
her qualifications didn't even exist.
And the only reason why she got nominated by Biden is because
she's a black woman is ridiculous.
Biden nominating a black woman as Supreme Court Justice was important
because that was a historic nomination in a Supreme Court that
has traditionally been overwhelmingly white and male, okay.
So, putting someone in there who's a woman of color, who is also incredibly
qualified for the job is an important thing to do, the right thing to do.
And it's one of the few good things that Biden has done in his administration.
So sit down, you wanna talk about qualifications homeboy,
you wanna talk about qualifications?
You just said that Russia invaded Ukraine over a woke-ism in the United States,
sit down, just sit down.
>> Okay, those are good [INAUDIBLE].
>> Here's here's my book, one rule, sit down.
>> Okay, I have more fun comics, first of all,
don't trust anyone whoever does this.
>> But. >> Or this.
>> But. >> While talking, okay.
What is this?
I think what he's doing is what right-wingers think smart people look
like.
That, they do things like this and this while talking, what is this?
>> Okay. >> Or the eyebrows thing that.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> In this look,
let me tell you something.
Okay, [LAUGH] so, I halfway expected one of these clips to say,
look all I wanted with sharks with laser bream on their freaking heads,
I couldn't get that.
And Anna if you did strap him into the basement,
the last things you would hear is, but but but are you coming back [LAUGH]?
>> No, finally to wrap this all up, okay, so
he goes on this rant about Ketanji Brown Jackson,
what does that have to do with Russia's invasion into Ukraine again?
Here's how he ties it all together.
>> Can't wait.
>> And are not the Russians and the Hungarians and
the Poles and the Indians to a lesser degree.
Watching and thinking those people have gone
out of their minds and we have to say it again.
Clearly, the culture war in the West is real and
culture is losing, and Russia is part of the West,
and the culture war is now truly part of
why we have a war and it's a real war.
So the Russians believe that they have a moral duty and
that they have the highest moral duty to oppose the degenerate ideas.
Philosophy, theology of the West, and
there's something about that, that is not wrong.
>> Listen to my young homies out there who are frustrated, you're not getting laid,
he's not gonna get you laid, I promise you, I'm a woman, I know.
Please, run away as quickly as you can from this lunatic.
He's not gonna help you out.
Please, I'm begging you.
I'm just looking out for you.
He's not the right one.
>> But but but [LAUGH] moral duty.
That's why food invaded Ukraine because of the moral duty we created.
I mean, come on, you would have to be extraordinarily naive to believe that.
[LAUGH] he's a guy who looks the most deranged guy we've ever
met talking about derangement syndrome [LAUGH].
I mean, it's irony wrapped in irony.
It's an irony burrito [LAUGH].
>> We gotta stop, that's it,
that's the only that comes to mind when I look at her, we just gotta stop.
You gotta sit down and I'm gonna leave you with one final video.
If you're ever attempted to believe that Jordan Peterson is well equipped to
give you life advice.
Just remember what we're about to show you.
>> They're worse than animals because animals, they just kill to eat.
Human beings, they have a twist in them that makes them
far worse than animals when they really get going.
Well, I think, you really wanna know what, I think.
I think it's revenge against God for the crime of being.
Yeah, it's, yeah, that's what it is at the bottom of the hell of things.
A close reading of 20th century history indicates,
as nothing else can, the horrors that accompany.
Loss of faith in the idea of the individual.
Well, we're gonna destroy the planet.
We have to do this, we have to demoralize the youth to be ethical.
So, it's, yeah, really, that's your theory.
You're gonna demoralize young people to be ethical.
That's your theory.
It's like you should go home and think about that for a year, and
I'm passionate about this because.
You have no idea how many people that's killing.
