Richard Wolff takes on Jordan B. Peterson

Summary:
Richard Wolff is clearly very angry here, but he is very articulate. Would the 'mighty ' and big mouthed Jordan Peterson have the guts to take up Richard Wolff 's challenge for a debate. I doubt it, because he has too much to lose as his rhetoric is built on hot air,  do it's easy to disassemble Jordan Peterson 's arguments.What annoys me, is that Jordan Peterson says his position is not political, as if he is stating some universal truth, but his arguments are clearly old fashioned right wing rhetoric. Nothing new here.For instance, he comes up with a load of nonsense about how men should be men and woman should be women, and he runs Jungian psychology therapy groups for men to discover their true manhood. But Jungian therapy is proven rubbish and is not very affective. Jung 's insight

I can remember the Buddhists near me running mens retreats where only men were allowed so they could talk about men's issues, they said, and I used to think, how boring, I like having the women around. So, I never went on one of these retreats, I stayed behind instead and chatted up the lovely Buddhist women that they had abandoned. I was in tune with my manly nature, or instinct, it seemed, as I knew where I preferred to be.
