      I agree, but there is another level to Jordan Peterson that you should consider and embrace and IS very personable, as well. You may wish to hush the sounds of politics, but it cannot be silenced, ever. You go out those doors and embrace any aspect of society and end up wondering to yourself, “what the heck is going on?”
      This question could be answered, by watching all of these interviews. It’s not just about the criminals story. It’s also about the politicians and federal/state officials steering us into a particular direction.
      Jordan Peterson does not want the past repeated, as best as possible, so to accomplish that he needs to dig into politics to expose their agendas.

    This is incredible. A lot of the painful childhood experiences resonated with me deeply, but I didn't have it near as bad. The amount of anger I used to feel for even small injustices towards me allows me to only imagine what Mr. Johnson felt. Feeling entitled to things as a matter of basic survival, not to mention all of the other emotions overlaying it. I can put my foot in that shoe. If you'd rather steal than go upstairs for food, I can't even imagine the things that were said in that house. Thank you for sharing!

The transition to paywalled content has traditionally been smoother, but this one not only didn't deem to hit a natural break in the conversation, it didn't even include the usual invitation to DW+ to get the missing portion.

      Exactly. And some commentators, blind or blind in their hearts, do not see that this man was simply *not putting on a show here* of being "liked by the potentially disturbed viewer". He was telling the stuff more or less cold-blooded, to its core how he saw his path to be a trickster throughout finding the possibility to pursue what he wanted to have + do. At any cost. Yes, it wasn't healthy to pursue.
      Yet I absolutely appreciate with what straight-forwardness he told it *as it* was, and as he did things. Too much Truth for some to handle, I guess... They wanted to see him putting on an anti-cancelling show, commenting “show more remorse!“, “you have no regret“.
      I didn't expect such finger-pointing unreflective Karens [mirroring cancel-culture]
      watched Peterson in all seriousness.
      This guy didn't come on to be virtue-signalling. He simply told it as it was. Use that as fuel for your own moral, instead of feeling entitled to hear him state your specific words.

    The part about having to have something worth quitting for rings so true. My cousin was an alcoholic and drug addict. He was in an out of county lock up and rehab from his teens until he was over 40. Finally his long term girlfriend’s daughter had a baby, the girl leaves the baby with them because she got pregnant with her new boyfriends baby, and by the time the girl was five the grandma was back in jail and had left him for another man. In the end, the little girl was headed into foster care in a county where foster care generally is a place of abuse. Somehow during all this he manages to get clean, becomes the poster child for AA, gets his boss to put him over the saw mill he had been working for for years, and convinced a judge to give him custody. The little girl has always called him “Pa” and he has been her only constant. He now rents a house near her school, she has all of her needs met and is a happy 12 yr old. Her parents both signed over parental rights because my cousin held them to the fire of either paying child support or leaving them alone. They would come around just enough to break the little girls heart and leave again, so he said screw that and ran them off legally. He is in his fifties and still smokes cigarettes now, but he has genuinely stayed clean and employed and took the matter of raising this girl on as his purpose in life.
