    I get what you're saying here.
    Ideological purity spiral weakens a group, rather than strengthening it.
    Individualism and free will are accommodated by the model, even though deviations from the model are not elevated as the ideal.

    Yeah, I’m gonna have to add an addendum to that:

    “So far”.
    “So far” is the right posture.

    From my point of view, (I know it doesn’t fit the grand conspiracies) teachers started the global lockdown. They called a “snow day” without any thought to an end day. This was locally normal, acceptable, and well within their jurisdiction. Unfortunately, one snow day can be very hard on working parents, let alone a three or four day event.

    Because this snow day wasn’t going to ever end, employers had to do something. Telework. Governments moving up the chain from local to state to federal had to do something and it escalated. One silly policy after another. Collapsing businesses, health care rationing, living in fear, all from a snow day.

    The medical industry and corrupt governments exploited a butter fly flapping its wings in Antarctica. Classic bottom up divergent crisis, not top down corruption. Although the top is wickedly corrupt and evil. And teachers are the lambs. Ironic.

    As bad as this all was “so far”, nothing prevents another “snow day”.

    Trump always ended up more or less deferring to established institutions. No matter how much he cried "Fake News!", he still gladly submitted to being cuckolded by the fake news media. If he was as much a maverick as people hoped he was, he would have established the careers of young independent journalists, and told the old, obsolete liars to pound sand. Instead, he chose to foolishly sit for long form interviews with irrelevant dinosaurs like Bob Woodward.

    Despite all his bluster, he clearly had a profound fear of mainstream liberal media disapproval. When asked why he didn't fire Fauci, he said because it would have caused a "firestorm on the left". Seriously, old man? He never broke free of their psychological grip. Deep down, he still respects the neoliberal world order. He makes the same mistake of all Clown World: he substitutes taking difficult and painful action with word spells, bluffs and magical thinking. He's basically a Clown World apostate who still wants to be a part of the Clown World social circle. It was his greatest weakness, and they exploited it to the hilt.

    Either that, or he's a Judas goat who was allowed to throw Americans a few bones while leading them off a cliff. The way he handled COVID and the vaxx, as well as the way he abandoned his January 6th followers, can reasonably be interpreted as evidence for this unpleasant possibility.

    I see why you wouldn't like his type of rethoric.
    I am fascinated by people who can eloquently and precisely describe what they're thinking, and Peterson has been thinking A LOT about the same issues for the past years so he can describe his thoughts very well, although it's still hard to listen to him sometimes, but I've gotten used to consuming long duration content.
    He doesn't cry as much anymore

    I'll bet that if he got his test up to 1000mg/dl, he'd have a lot less to say.

    I agree with your assessment, especially the last paragraph.

    I've thought for a while he's played a role as the "punching bag" for the deep state to show us plebes what's in store for anyone else who tries to take them on.

    As George said in his own elegant way, "It's a big club, and we ain't in it."

    When Nixon "temporarily" removed the gold backed US dollar for the petro dollar in 1971, they must have known it would be a slow demise for our country, and they would no longer be alive to suffer the consequences of their actions.

    You know, just like they're still doing now. Get a bunch of geriatric corrupt politicians to enact absolutely absurd policies and laws who will simply get rich and never be held accountable, while they sit back and smugly smile while the USA is burned to the ground.

    He did go on an all carnivore diet before, along with his daughter. Both of them showed their bloodwork after 1 year and it had improved dramatically. LDL levels were really low. Her daughter who was, like me, suffering from Juvenile Arthritis from age 7, saw all her symptoms disappear as well as elimination of SSRIs and Adderrall (this is when I'm glad I wasn't born in the US).
    I wonder what it did to Peterson's testosterone, I bet it went up in the last few years. He's not a blabbering nervous mess anymore, at least publicly, but you can tell that's also part of his personality and it was due to unbelivable stress having to deal with the woke mobs.
