‘Back Off, Oh Master of the Universe’ – Opinion

As is the case with any number of influential conservatives with large microphones, the left is terrified of Jordan Peterson — which is why, for example, the Canadian psychologist, author, and media personality was suspended by Twitter in late June after he tweeted about gender transition surgery undergone by an actor who now goes by the name of Elliot Page.

Peterson was promptly kicked to the curb for allegedly violating Twitter’s rules against “hateful conduct.”

He also caused a left-wing meltdown in May with a tweet declaring a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model “not beautiful,” adding: “No amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.”

Welp, Peterson is back again, this time blistering the “existential threat to mankind” crowd, in a blistering video on his YouTube channel, titled, Do not panic, Masters of the Universe. Peterson went bottom-line with a few questions with which tens of millions of Americans can identify — as we speak.

Are you aware that food prices have risen? Shelter has also become more costly. Why is energy so expensive? Many consumer products are just not available?

Peterson went on to argue that life is more difficult due to the transition from fossil fuels to the so-called “green energy” scheme, incessantly beaten to death by Joe Biden and others Peterson calls believers in an “environmental apocalypse.” In the video, he vowed to resist the global fear campaign, which he said is aimed at “stripping people of freedom” by making life more expensive and more difficult. (Think Joe Biden).

NewsBusters transcribed:

You centralizers, leave us alone. You Gaia worshippers. You take advantage of other people’s wealth and property. Your would-be planet savers. Machiavellian virtue-signallers and Machiavellian pretentators, you object to power while you gather it around yourself madly.

Please leave us alone

(Biden, John Kerry, the “United States special presidential envoy for climate”, Leonardo DiCaprio, and a host of other hypocritical as hell climate alarmists were unavailable for comment.)

The following article was published on August 15. Environmental peddlers are showing their true colors [sic], Peterson correctly observed that “corporations and utopians are offering authoritarian solutions to crises only democracy and free markets can solve.”

Peterson urged resistance to this madness during the video.

Your forced privation will stop us from moving forward. To address your existential terror we will not permit you to seize and destroy what makes our lives possible, and which produces food, shelter, and other modern pleasures.

Emphasis on economic growth instead of “green new deals.” 

Peterson offered his ideas for a “pathway to the future,” unlike the destructive utopian nonsense of the climate-craze left.

I learned that the fastest and most certain pathway forward to the future we all want and need — peaceful, prosperous, beautiful — is through the economic elevation of the absolutely poor. The planet will prosper if the poor are made rich.

You can at the very least, get out of their path while they attempt to become rich. Remember, if you make the poor less wealthy, things will only get worse. Maybe worse than we imagine.

This is the dark little secret that the Democrat Party keeps.

The “keep them poor” strategy has worked in some segments of America, quite well, as tens of millions of voters line up, election after election, and vote Democrat — no questions asked. Even more masterfully, Democrats have convinced their base that while the party has not delivered on all (any) of its promises, to think about how worse off they’d be if not for the Democrats to protect them from the evil Republicans.

On the plus side, we’re beginning to see that strategy fail, and I believe that failure will only compound.

For example, as I reported in December 2021, Hispanic voters are abandoning the Democrat Party in droves, a then-recent poll found that  A recent poll found that 42 percentHispanic Voters have been moving away from Democrats toward the Republican Party in recent years. It is quite profound.

Although it is justified, I suggest, the message was profound.

 

Bottom line:

The Democrat Party has been hellbent on creating a permanent underclass in America for at least six decades, figuring that keeping a majority of Americans “poor,” as they further assume, would also keep them dependent on the Democrat Party — not only to improve their lot in life but also to protect them from the “evil” rich, greedy corporations, so-called “climate deniers,” and by association, the Republican Party.

Toss in massive wealth-redistribution schemes and there you have it.
