Before Jordan Peterson went to the DW and partnered up with the Shapiros and Klavans and their subversive work, JP was actually producing decent commentary and insight.
He once caught controversy for saying there is a little bit of Adolf in everyone. And the simpletons of the Left blew a gasket. His point was that studying the infamous figure from a psychological perspective, AH had an overdeveloped trait of conscientiousness, one of the "Big 5" personality traits.
Conscientiousness is in all people, but all things in life fall on a bell curve. Most people (95%) are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. However when a person is a "1/100" they highly flexible, very disorganized, haphazard. When its 100/100 individuals are rigid, seek organization, uniformity, high competency. In short: Order.
When normal people see constant headlines of madness, the world spinning in a thousand directions, there comes anxiety which develops into deep yearning for stability. The more the media (MSM, SM, etc) push chaos, the more people are subconsciously pushed to want stability and uniformity. It is not persuasion (
@ScottAdamsSays), it is compulsion.
This deep-seeded desire for order, indeed, resides in us all regardless of our capacity to achieve it on a personal level or social level.
People tend to forget or are unaware of the crime-ridden 70s, or the pre-Giuliani streets of NYC. Politicians who came down hard on crime were rewarded. Today, crime is so constant that the citizenry has little faith in government to address it. The anxiety of the citizens continues to grow, its bubbling, do you feel it?
The pendulum has to reach its ictuse before it swings back with fury. And we are already seeing the seeds of this fury showing up in young men, brazen and seeking social order.
The agents of chaos set the stage. What's coming is inevitable.
