Peterson speaks with Prager and the Man Show Guy

[Aqua Letifer]

Could have been a much better discussion. Prager fit the model of your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, and both of them seemed far more interested in illustrating to—actually I'd love to know who they think they're talking to—that their side is the side of right-thinking individuals. Peterson seemed like he was trying to have a discussion. Quite obviously for the other two it was yet another bitch session.

Bias showing much?

You ever listen to Prager and Carolla? Nothing new there, just as I suspect if Maddow was invited on, that she would be consistent in her views.

As I've heard said, "Pfffft!"

Or better yet, a nice A-10 GAU rip, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttt!!!!!

There's a JBP #S4E44's worth of time you'll never get back.

Let that be a lesson to you.

There's no one on this board who could make that comment more hilarious, considering the source. Hat's off.

I didn't mention their views. Their views aren't what I'm talking about. I'm saying that their goal for the conversation is a total waste, unless you're looking for partisan masturbation.

Oh, you're biased as hell. You just don't like to admit it.

Prob'ly. A very abridged and completely hamfisted summary of where I stand. Prepare to be triggered.

COVID Stimulus: keep people off the streets, but not at the expense of bankrupt companies and landlords.
GLBT & Minority issues: There's a shitload we have to actively dismantle here, but equality of opportunity needs to be defended, and new loopholes need to be filled in.
Police reform: Dampen union influence, support local jurisdictions, throw a ton of money into community outreach because the rift is getting terrible.
War on drugs: Just stop. Decriminalize addicts, give them multiple avenues to re-enter society. Offer needle exchanges for junkies.
Education funding: How might we go about revoking accreditation for schools who practice CRT training or curriculum? Also, no safe spaces or university-imposed kangaroo courts.
Education reform: More actual diversity in K-12. Don’t hold high achievers back. Provide tons of alternatives for kids who suck at STEM but have other marketable skills they don’t even know they have. Music programs, art programs, trades, etc., etc. Revamp home economics to train kids how to work for themselves because my God, nearly half the country falls into that.
Environment: I don’t see how you can rationally argue that environmentalism harms society, or that innovations in environmental technology is bad for business.
Foreign policy: H.W. did a pretty decent job.
Government reform: Get a shitload smarter about our defense budget. More weird shit like the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Farm Security Administration’s documentary projects. Put more money into programs that have a high societal return on cost.
Gun control: What good are new laws when we don’t even use what we have?
Health care: Obamacare sucks. Socialized medicine. Right now today.
Homeland Security: completely expose domestic surveillance programs. All of it needs to be public.
The southern border: provide flexible options for foreign workers and see how that goes for awhile.
Jobs: No minimum wage hikes, no legislation restricting pro bono work, but remove the Fair Pay amendments for salaried employees.
Religion: I don’t see how you can pretend to offer an education system that adequately prepares children to enter the world without a comprehensive religion curriculum.
Abortion: Very much against both abortion and telling anyone facing that option what they should do.
Capital punishment: Against.
Taxes: I really don't care. If I pay 60% in taxes but that money goes toward things I no longer have to pay for so that the net income/expenses even out, what the hell do I care so long as I'm not funding something stupid.

We think quite a bit alike.
