 right-wing pseudo-intellectual Jordan Peterson was once again, you'll be surprised to know, crying on national television, but to be fair to him I think that this is kind of a more valid reason for him to cry based on how he's being portrayed according to one director. So as Candice Ortiz of Mediaite explains earlier this month Olivia Wilde said in an interview that the villain in her latest film Don't worry darling a movie centered around an experimental community gone awry was heavily inspired by Peterson quote We based that character on this insane man Jordan Peterson who was the pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community You know the incels. Wilde said they're basically disenfranchised mostly white men who believe they're entitled to sex from women Wilde elaborated that Peterson is someone that legitimizes certain aspects of their movement because he's a former professor He's an author. He wears a suit. So they feel like this is a real philosophy that should be taken seriously So that's some context in case you weren't familiar with what Pierce Morgan in this interview was referencing Nonetheless, he's gonna ask about this portrayal in the movie of him and watch his response. Director Olivia Wilde has a new movie out which she says is based on you this insane man This pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community incel being these weirdo loner men Who are despicable in many ways, is that you are you the intellectual hero to these people? Sure, why not, you know People have been after me for a long time by Because I've been speaking to disaffected young men, you know, what a terrible thing to do that is I Thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice It's making you emotional talk about it. Well God, you know, it's very difficult to understand How demoralized people are and certainly many young men are in that category and you get these casual Insults these these incels is what do they mean? Is it like what these men there? They don't know how to make themselves attractive to women who are very picky and good for them women like be picky That's that's your gift man Demand high standards from your man fair enough, but all these men who are alienated. It's like They're lonesome and and and they don't know what to do and everyone piles abuse on them when she said that Olivia Wilde It's stung you didn't it? Oh by that time, you know That as far as as critic critiques go that was kind of low-level. I mean once I got painted as Red skull, you know magical super Nazi That was kind of the end of the insults There's no place past that so When Olivia Wilde made those comments the first thing I did was go look at the preview for a movie Which I quite liked I thought I would go see that movie probably and perhaps I will it didn't really bother me My my family and I talked about it right away and we were able to respond to it with some degree of humor Look, I don't want to promote this idea that men are weak if they cry I think that it's perfectly natural and human for men to cry But I would be lying to you if I didn't point out that I thought it was a little bit bizarre that Jordan Peterson cries so much For the dumbest reasons my favorite is when he was talking to Andy No, and he was breaking down what he believed and Tifa's philosophy was or something like that And he just started crying and it was really bizarre in this instance though I can understand that if you are being portrayed as a villain in a movie and it's kind of center Centered around this persona that you built up. I think that's a legitimate reason to be upset to be fair to him But is this reputation earned? I would argue. Yes. So in response though, he says He's been speaking to disaffected young men It's very difficult to understand how demoralized people are and certainly a lot of young men are in that category So I agree with him here Right. So there are a lot of men who are younger who feel alienated who feel lonely And I think that you should try to find a way to reach out to them Pull them out of this incel state And change their view Of the world change their perception of reality But the problem is that he doesn't try to challenge their pre-existing beliefs He just reinforces their beliefs, which is why he's so popular with them because he effectively Tells them what they want to hear for example in a 2018 interview. He said this the left He believes refuses to admit that men might be in charge because they are better at it Quote people who hold that our culture is an oppressive patriarchy They don't want to admit that the current hierarchy might be predicated on competence. He said So he's promoting this idea to these men who he's reaching out to That men are inherently better than women in a plethora of ways when you have to challenge their beliefs You're not going to help them get a partner if they're lonely If they believe that the women who they're trying to court are inferior to them What woman is going to want to Support a man with this belief So, I mean you're you're if anything making the situation worse But I don't think that it's wrong to reach out to these men I think that there has to be some way to reach them and challenge their beliefs and bring them back into Reality and let them know that they too can find love. They can be successful with women They're not different than anyone else But the problem is that their perception their attitude their stance towards women is probably what's making them less successful in that territory Now it's difficult to really Capture the essence of peterson's core philosophy by just listening to a couple of snippets So what I'll do is I'll link you to a really brief three hour video Where some more news talked about jordan peterson and they dive into his core beliefs and it really gives you A better understanding of his guiding philosophies and I think that this is really important if you want to understand What makes jordan peterson tick but getting back to the clip in question Towards the end he said oh, well, I'm totally cool with it But it's a bit of a contradiction seemingly because you cried when it was brought up to you So pierce morgan is going to ask him about this. You know, you're clearly bothered You're not cool with it if it's making you cry and then he proceeded to cry Even harder. You've been so controlled today And yet in that brief moment you got very emotional. Why? It's really something to see constantly How many people Are dying for a lack of an encouraging word And how easy it is to provide that if you're careful You know give credit where credit is due And to say You're a net force for good if you want to be Did you believe you're a net force for good? Net yes In all the details probably not You know no one's perfect So People make their mistakes as they stumble uphill So he's not crying because of the portrayal of him in this film Not that he's being portrayed directly but the character is based off him But he's crying According to him because of the lack of encouraging words That lead to people dying. So this is him crying over Sympathy that he feels for in cells presumably. I mean he wasn't really clear there I think he was crying because he's butthurt to be clear But this empathy that he wants all of us to feel for in cells He doesn't extend that to other people. He doesn't extend that to marginalized groups He doesn't extend that to trans people He goes out of his way to dehumanize trans people to dead name and misgender trans people That's jordan peterson So his selective outrage for people who are kind of on the outskirts of society This is why people don't take him seriously because he's inconsistent Even though he views in cells as the victims of society a changing society You know in the midst of this gender liberation movement You know, he views them as being victimized in a way by society And this is why I think that he's popular because he has these self-help books because even though you've been victimized by society Presumably these 12 rules for life will help you Uh, but at the same time when it comes to trans people, he doesn't view them in the same way There's no societal reasons for the predicaments that they're in, right? This community They're just inherently flawed. They're trying to enforce their views on everyone else So he doesn't extend that same sympathy to other marginalized groups He can only and exclusively at least that's what it seems Um empathize with young white men And that's why people criticize him because rather than reaching out to these young men and challenging their pre-existing biases He just reinforces them and doesn't have the same courtesy for other groups in society So this is why I think he's largely a clown But I've got to say Him crying so frequently it leads me to believe that Behind the scenes he's going through something And when you're going through something that's not to say that you can't help other people But I mean not necessarily somebody who I would recommend To my nephews as the self-help guru of choice, especially knowing his sexist beliefs But Whatever it is that's affecting him You don't have to be in the spotlight 24 seven Jordan Peterson. You can take a step back You don't have to do podcasts. You don't have to do interviews You can take a step back and work on yourself But he's not and so he just continues to melt down in the public eye And it seems like he's unhinged and unraveling and in a way I feel bad for him because you know, you don't want to see somebody who's very clearly suffering who's in pain But at the same time I don't feel that much sympathy for him just because he feels no sympathy Towards trans people, you know in the way that we may feel sympathy for him Because he cries. He doesn't feel the same compassion for trans people I let her have her way
