I think she's read the "he's the belle of the Alt right" tripe and taken it at face value. I keep telling her that isn't what he's about and she's watching more of him now. I think he's great, I watch that Cathy Newman interview at least once every couple of weeks. The Gulag is a tough read. There's so much to it. Have you tried Douglas Murray yet? The Gulag must have been an even tougher write when you think how hew wrote and rewrote it in secret while a prisoner and smuggled it out to the west. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of Douglas Murray,I've only read the Strange Death of Europe and didn't read it at all well, stretched over about three months of repeatedly picking up and putting down. I need to go back to it and take it all in this time. What did you take from it? Edited June 26, 2020 by Bill 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,344 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have a pal (not so much nowadays), whose politics resembles that of Owen Jones - he told me that Peterson is a fraud but couldn't explain why. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,344 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I've watched a few of his interviews and he came across quite well. I had him down as someone there to provide advice to men who are doubting themselves and their existence. I know I'm a terrific, handsome guy, so don't need any help. ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cracking book that addresses the issues that the majority of media, politicians and liberal elite just flat out want to ignore. He does a great job of mapping out the origins of the migration influx. I haven't enjoyed it as much as the madness of crowds though. I actually got that on Audible and Murray narrates it himself which is very cool. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Jones ??♂️ The calmness Peterson displays when he debates and often challenged pretty vociferously on his views shows what a master he is with the knowledge to back it up. The GQ interview is worth a look at, he's in a bit of a grump on that one, apparently due to the coldness he was shown by the interviewer before they started. So when he was challenged he came out all guns blazing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
