Bump.

He’s right.
You need to be capable of being cruel. That doesn’t mean you have to be cruel or even should be cruel.
But the threat must exist.
Try holding onto a vending machine route in NYC without being capable of being cruel.
The mafia will own every one of your spots within two weeks.
it’s a hard world.
And dems are VERY VERY capable of being cruel and ARE cruel.
I think many her are capable of being cruel.
That will be enough if/when the time comes.
I got through 3 minutes; time I’ll never get back.
I’m a ferly dangerous man (hat tip Charlie Daniels).
Yes.. stay outraged.. stay divided. A more divided America is heaven on earth /s
All of this is garbage. We live in a nation, founded by The Almighty..
We are, one nation,under God, indivisible.. I won’t allow anyone to take that truth.. Thank God many before us didn’t either.
The politicians love division they are raking in the cash and controlling you.. Unity under God, or death.
Stay divided and lose your every liberty.
Can I be both?
The famous Mattis quote:
“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”
belongs here.
I’m a nice guy unless you screw with my country and then I got to kill you so you learn a lesson. It’s a teachable moment.
At least until I can't take the input overload anymore.
Thanks for the post, Rooster.
I would prefer if Peterson was a bit more personable. If I was in his college classrom, I’m not sure I would enjoy being there because he lectures a bit too strongly.
What happened to the Socratic method? I think he should mellow his approach. Smile a bit more. Tone down some of the fire and brimstone. It would sharpen his message.
My liking is a guy like Nassim Taleb. Hard to listen to because of his accent, but a great learning experience and I tend to grin more times when I listen to him.
Here’s a Google lecture on his new book, Skin in the Game. Great message for small government and curing a lot of America’s economic problems.

Jordan Peterson is not perfect but he is very very good. I bought and gave his book to a nephew who was getting married. As for me... I have listened to his podcasts while exercising. This guy is worth listening to.
One of his best is his introduction to the new edition of Solzenicyn Gulag Archipelago
