Hi guys I’m new here. I used to be a devout liberal. That all changed in the last year. As many of you, I’m tired of the identity politics and liberal agenda of populism, intersectionality, and pathological political correctness. I work as a surgeon and medicine is fully infected with this radical leftist agenda that Jordan Peterson and others are raising awareness of. I recently saw an article published in the New England journal that cited rampant sexism in surgery because only 31% of surgical articles are written by women. The author failed to elaborate that only 15-20% of all surgeons are women so what this means is that women are actually FAVORED in the publishing process. It means their articles are disproportionally published at a higher rate than those of men. And because of quotas promoting equality of outcome many male surgeons are losing their ability to get good jobs and are not analyzed based on merit. Women have always and always will be less interested in the field because of arduous hours, high emotional stress, and near inability to have children especially during training.
How is it that all these pseudointellectuals that pass garbage like this off can make such claims with ZERO secondary or tertiary level of analysis and get their propaganda published into the most prestigious media outlets in the world? Why is it that everyone is catering to them? Are they afraid of rejecting them and being labeled as sexists and homophobes etc themselves? Or do they truly agree with them? And this article is by no means an exception. I would say 30-40% of all abstracts at any scientific meeting or in any medical journal are regarding racism as a barrier to access to care or women being discriminated against because of curbing third trimester, or even beyond, abortion. These people are controlling the public narrative with anyone with descenting opinion being shouted down as a racist homophobic mysoginist that should be censored. I mean it’s all incredible to me but I also have faith in the fact that people like JBP, Ben Shapiro et al have a strong following of people with common sense!
Prior to about a year ago, I was asleep taking the figurative medication ie the blue pill the left has been slipping into everyone’s drink for decades. I bought into Obama and the lot but Peterson woke me up. I was always thought of myself as a critical thinker which is proof of how easily corrupted into the leftist agenda one can get before you wake up and smell the truth. Now that I have a taste of the truth I can’t get enough of it. It’s as if every view I’ve ever had has been challenged in the last year and while that can be difficult to your identity and your sense of grounding in the world, it is truly a transformative, transcendental experience for which I will always have Jordan Peterson to thank. I am very grateful for the IDW and people who are promoting strength of the individual. I guess the pathology of the left is best evident by the ABCQanda program in Australia when Jordan Peterson posits “I guess what I’m saying is you should be very careful to go around changing the world before you have your own affairs in order” which was met with headshaking and disgust by the arrogant SJW who asked the question. I used to be so afraid. The left kept me afraid like it does many and especially minorities... of things like climate change and mystical racism. The demand for racism is far greater than the supply hence the creation of it by people like Smollet and Ellen Page. Nonetheless, I was nihilistic. I couldn’t have a sense of right and wrong. I was devoid of moral virtue. How Muslims lead their lives and treat those around them and their women etc. was just a different perspective and how could I possibly have an opinion on issues involving African Americans because I am a white straight man? These are the tactics they use to censor people. I wouldn’t dare dream of telling a black man that he can’t have an opinion on matters relating to me because he’s not white. But they use such racist rhetoric to restrict my own views. I am tired of the leftist agenda of purporting that being a straight white male is basically a crime in 2019. It’s not what we should be teaching our men or our children boys and girls included. We should be teaching them to THINK and not indoctrinating them with intersectionality, socialism, victimhood, and entitlement. I guess the sliver of hope is that the more the left has been trying to censor people like JBP, by such acts as banning his book in NZ, the more popular he and others will continue to grow. God bless everyone out there!
