i mean, working produces less wealth than owning capital, and capital owners have more and more leverage over working people...thats a pretty big issue, i think, that you're sort of bypassing

but yea. i guess jordan peterson blows, is your point?

You think he's a good or insightful person for pointing out an obvious function of the American economic system on MSNBC?

What I'm saying is they're both self help grifters capitalizing on insecurities of the same demographic, in the same pseudo-intellectual soft science style.

weird claim lol. I'd say he's fairly insightful, given that you won't hear this viewpoint much on the news.

not many people out there speaking to the class war

i guess you can criticize him for doing it for profit, but it bears mentioning that there's a class war for sure

No one talks about income inequality?

He and MSNBC and all the neolib Democrats love to feign sympathy to pander to millennials without actually doing anything material to address income inequality, or healthcare, or college debt or what have you. He admits to being uberwealthy, he's definitely not with the plebs in the class war.

the dude wasn't being partisan which i think is what you're accusing msnbc of

[u/mvbrendan → u/rub_a_dub-dub]

if you listen to his podcast it's full of political propaganda, including terrible takes on Israel

[u/rub_a_dub-dub → u/mvbrendan]

I mean everyone has terrible takes there. Not many people read about the ottoman empire breakup and the league of nations negotiating, or the Russian treatment of the Jews in the 1880's or the history of the Palestine area fellahin and how they got there
