It’s rare that Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) impresses me favorably, but I’m grateful (overall) for his recently published op-ed. With regard to several points he makes, I couldn’t agree more. For instance: “President Trump is receiving an onslaught of criticism for his decision to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan. Congressional Democrats should not pile on without offering an alternative… Read More »SOME PRAISEWORTHY WORDS (a semi-respectable op-ed) FROM A NONETHELESS SLIPPERY POLITICIAN: RO KHANNA CRITICIZES THE NEOCON AGENDA WHILE VOICING HIS SUPPORT FOR ITS CONTINUATION.

INSTALLMENT THE EIGHTH: Jordan Peterson vs. Marx, the Pareto Distribution, and the purge of liberals from academia (making room for war criminals and other neo-fascists) (Concluding my response to “Lenny”) It’s possible that Peterson has more to offer than I suspected… However, with regard to JBP’s references to “Marxism:” You wrote, “I don’t hear any discussion of JP’s criticism of Marxism and… Read More »A Civil Conversation, Part VIII: Battle of the economic theories (Pareto and Marx), JBP resuscitates the “Cultural Marxist” bogeyman, academic institutions purge liberals and hire war criminals… THE END.

INSTALLMENT THE SEVENTH: “Can’t we just drone this guy” liberals, the new McCarthyites, and Jordan B. Peterson revealed (desiccated right-wing claptrap in a brand new suit) The undeniable efficacy of Two Minutes Hate “journalism” The worst conserva-liberals say things like: “Julian Assange/Edward Snowden/Donald Trump/Chelsea Manning/Glenn Greenwald/Chris Hedges/Susan Sarandon/Jimmy Dore/Bashar al-Assad/Ralph Nader/Michael Hastings/Saddam Hussein/Glen Ford/John Kiriakou/Vladimir Putin/Bill Binney/Moammar Qaddafi/Caitlyn Johnstone/Yasser Arafat/Max… Read More »A Civil Conversation, Part VII: “Liberals” demonstrate that reactionary hate is a bipartisan phenomenon… and Jordan B. Peterson turns out to be a classic right-winger, after all.

INSTALLMENT THE SIXTH: “Lenny” asserts that Liberalism entails open-mindedness and offers evidence that Jordan B. Peterson can be liberal, too; I agree and resume my post-mortem of Liberalism in America… Lenny — James Charles O’Donnell III, I agree on many points you make. I love the idea of pillars of liberalism (tolerance, reason, education, idealism) but I’d also put being… Read More »A Civil Conversation, Part VI: The conservative “disgust factor” infects liberals… and a modicum of liberalism infects Jordan B. Peterson.

INSTALLMENT THE FIFTH: Mujaheddin 2.0 and neo-Nazis, the MSM hate machine, and the Donald Trump of the 2008 Democratic Primary… (Concluding my response to “Doc”) Washington’s proxies: Mujaheddin 2.0 and neo-Nazis (oh my!) It is revealing that the mainstream corporate media has completely ignored — en masse — the reporting of multiple Pulitzer-winning journalist, Seymour Hersh, particularly his documentation of Washington’s plot… Read More »The Convo, Part V: Civility grows tiresome… a soliloquy draws to a close.

INSTALLMENT THE FOURTH: (see title, above, for details) (My response to “Doc” continued…) THE “OPPOSITION” PARTY AND MSM BLESS A DOMESTIC COUP, THE THEFT OF THE 2000 ELECTION: Are you aware that it was Jack Welch, Chairman of General Electric (GE, which owns NBC), who in 2000, in the wee hours of a nail-biting election night, ordered his news desk… Read More »A Civil Conversation, Part IV: The stolen 2000 election, the monolithic MSM, and the dominance of the MIC (returning to Jordan B. Peterson soon)

INSTALLMENT THE THIRD: Neo-fascism’s unopposed rise, the MSM’s purge of liberals, and the parade of upward-failing toadies to power! (My response to “Doc” continued…) OH, THE DEGRADATION I HAVE SEEN! In short, from the Clarence Thomas hearings to the impeachment of Bill Clinton to the incredibly dramatic and consequential 2000 election cycle, I’d grown increasingly obsessed with politics: I’d seen… Read More »A Civil Conversation, Part III: Recent history and the MSM’s systematic purge of liberals (returning to Jordan B. Peterson later).

INSTALLMENT THE SECOND: With the arrival of “Doc,” our discussion of Identity Politics, corrupted Liberalism, and the monolithic, corporatized, “mainstream” media takes off! Doc — I disagree that “the media” has predetermined narratives which are often false. Constructing “the media” as a monolithic unified entity gives us permission to complain about the things we don’t like, but it also simplifies… Read More »Continuing our civil, thoughtful discussion about Jordan B. Peterson, the corruption of Identity Politics/Liberalism, and politicized economic theories from Marx to Pareto…

Hot damn, that was a good conversation! So good, in fact, that I’ve decided to reproduce the bulk of it, the major substantive exchanges, in their entirety. I’ve opted to go this route for the simple reason that I can find few better examples of my case against modern “liberalism” and the shit-show that is the corporatized and nightmarishly illiberal… Read More »After Jordan B. Peterson’s most cretinous followers hurl ugly abuse my way, I luck into a civil, thoughtful discussion, re: JBP, the corruption of Identity Politics/Liberalism, and politicized economic theories, from Marx to the Pareto Distribution.

“Jordan Peterson DESTROYS British GQ Magazine Feminist” is the name the video’s curator has given this segment. It can be found here. I’m posting this conversation on my website, because the curator of this page has apparently been deleting most of my comments and hacking the others into pieces, leaving only a fragment of my responses, usually cut off mid-sentence.… Read More »CENSORED AGAIN: My YouTube conversation with Jordan Peterson sycophants…
