Wut? Even his main twitter page is full of creepy masks?

He also posts this on his main page: "NOTE: RTs/follows are not to be read unfailingly as endorsements. I sometimes post material with which I do not agree."

Anyway, when you gain the spot-light; all your dirt really shows up. The issue is no one is perfect and we shouldn't expect the "actors" in this kabuki theater to be such. Everyone can find something dirty about anyone if they look for it.

Creepy masks are in every shrinks office, no?

Actually, the large mask on his left is Pacific NorthWest First Nations. I am a huge fan of their art and culture. I have like 80 books on their totem poles and art alone. (It was a phase before the internet.) In 2004 I actually declined to direct on an animated series of their legends for Nat Geo and the Aboriginal Channel because I didn't feel it was authentic enough (may have been a career mistake, maybe not). That large mask's eyes are covered over, and the the original styles have all largely blurred together, generally in a more northern style - as that mask seems to lean toward Haida or K'san - yet the eyes are small though hidden behind the "hair" and might indicate a more Southern nation like the Kwakwaka'wakw or Kwakiutl - or even Nootka.

The other mask is strange to me. It has elements of some traditional NW Pacific culture - the hooked nose and fatter lip disc labret indicate a woman, perhaps an owl-woman. But the lack of other decoration and shape are not familiar, though I'm not an expert on masks or any specific part of their art and culture. Futher the red horns seem like a fake/modern thing.

Both of the masks are using foreign green colours. White/plain wood, black, red, and turquoise were the dominant colours until the Iron Man (their name for the White Man who brought iron) arrived in abundance in the 1800s with new colours and paints. The North and Alaska didn't really embrace the new colours.

Some of my old sketches from 16-20 years ago:

Somewhat. I saw a little bit of this and can appreciate the objective investigation on Peterson's background and inconsistencies in the message, but the documentary seems to draw those conclusions based on the editor's viewpoint more so. The fact he may have worked with other organizations and received funds from various sources is credible investigation but a channel like this would only seek to support a total dictator cultural warrior that wants to segregate further. Not surprising they disagreed with his message. But appreciate their opposing perspectives!

A very reasonable conclusion to draw. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I think it's super important to question everyone, especially those who we think of as heroes.

Yep and even villains are worth questioning, because they might be on the right side of things sometimes.

Agreed. And you've got to respect and halfway understand your enemy if you want to stand a chance at beating them. I guess they've got most of us "too busy" to investigate much of anything in detail.

Investigation does take a lot of time, but there is vested interest to do so. Understanding your enemies is the battle, but the true enemy is the one worth focusing on to win the war. Most people are programmed to swing hard at paper tigers and phantoms created by the elites to divide the herd due to subjective convenience. The real enemies on top of paper tigers, like gravity, disease and ignorance- we barely have the tools or tactics to defeat. The "other" side is only programmed to be so, so that we all face defeat by that same collective enemy: the causal forces of d00m.

"Redistribution" is a huge overreach.

Not all want redistribution when they simply just want the unfairness to stop.

Boot on face.

Face says, "I want your laces."

OR

Face says, "Fuck off boot."

Otherwise excellent. A+++ Undervoted.

I like the old footage of Ottawa and Toronto (I lived just near a couple scenes).

I wish there was a good way to separate the good from bad Marxism to better discuss it. It would inevitably become corrupted. "Woke" doesn't mean 9/11 anymore. "False flags" means a bad copyright claim on YouTube. Fuck the words (frequently and vigorously, literally and figuratively ).

This is an idiotic mess of out of context quotes. Nice try.
