Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and PhD student Christine Brophy have been doing in depth research on political affiliation, personality and political correctness.
There have been plenty of studies on the personalities and intelligence of right wing extremists, but where do left wing extremists come from? How do these cartoonish characters like Smugglypuff and TrigglyPuff come about?
Peterson and Brophy have been looking for the answers, and have made some fascinating discoveries along the way.

1) It’s larger than the “mother-child” bonding.. its the affinity to be more giving (sympathetic / self sacrificing / charitable / concerned / tolerant) for those who are related to you, and proportionally less, the more distant they are genetically / clan wise. People exhibit more sympathy for their own child, somewhat less for a cousin, even less for a fellow neighbor, and very little, if any, for the other people in another tribe.

From my perspective, all these factors culminate in an individual who has a hard time making sense of a world filled with more complicated constructs. In short, they need a belief system which simplifies complex issues for them – this is what political correctness does – it offers only one explanation and one solution to vastly more complex issues
- once a simplistic world view is adopted it must be tenaciously guarded from more complex concepts, logic, fact and evidence that the simple dogma is fallible and lacking – at this point the “compassionate” left (AKA snow flakes) erupt in tantrum-like irrational syllogisms, and failing to rectify disturbing truth this way, will slink off to a “safe place” to isolate themselves from any further “toxic” reason.
Conversely the authoritarian left will attempt to validate their simplistic dogmas by forcing them on others, silencing critical debate, suppressing damaging truth and of course using violence and coercion to “win” a losing argument.
SJWs are a creed who demand the world fit their simplistic and romantic utopian visions
In any event, keep up the good work of exposing the underbelly of this sickness called modern liberalism and the dysfunctional drones that populate its ranks and who work so diligently to destroy the West – whether they realize they are or not!
So, what ‘sane’ authority would enable this behaviour and why are they doing it? These kids are clearly being used and abused by those who see its usefulness.
If you ever wonder about men these days, Lauren, and why they seem so completely devoid of logic, character and courage; why they appear to be nothing more than self-admiring drones living their life like Peter Pan at a fantasy camp, you need look no further than ‘Justin-time’ Trudeau for analysis. All he will ever amount to is the boy-man who tried acting as a PM in a play written just for him. No more than that. He’s merely a puppet with no motive force other than that which comes down the strings from the puppeteers in the Social Engineering Department of the Liberal party. They stroke his needful ego while whispering their brand of wisdom and light into his ear, then pull his strings and let him think that he’s his own man spouting his own new and bold ideas.
Justin-time is the laughing stock of real world leaders. They know from his posturing that he’s just a kid with cute dimples that women love but is really dumber than a bag of hammers. The CBC knows it too and are asking for more cash in order to cheerlead Trudeau into a second term… and even more cash! Even the deeply cynical UN sees him as a gift horse. He’s brainless, silly, vain… perfect for the job as the accommodating messenger boy that will eventually hand over this country to their unelected rule. Without Pierre’s money and surname Justin would be just another substitute teacher, another vacuous face wondering which way he should flip his curls for the day and whether his wife will lett hhim get a tattoo.
You have social justice warriors because people are miserable and find the teachings of the left wing to be meaningful. For some people, it is just so much easier to blame everybody else.
It’s believed that infected humans are slightly more intellectual and clumsy… conducive to liberal arts types. Mice should fear cats and run at the scent of cat urine.. normal mice to flee, but infected mice are attracted to cat urine.. the very thing that could kill them… kinda like feminist SJW’s vis-a-vis ‘barbaric cultures’.
It really is just a theory, but I think worth studying. The world could be much better if a cure, or at least a treatment, were available.
It wouldn’t surprise me if "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or pre and post natal THC toxicology. " were also contributing factors.
Who knows, maybe Ezra could crowd fund a study.
Certainly explains the propensity of Neuro-cognative deficits in SJWs but I’d be more willing to believe a link to more likely Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or pre and post natal THC toxicology.
Fembo Cat ladies don’t propagate – then again welfare Mom neglected kids have been caught raiding the cat box for a warm pacifier ;-)
2. The people described in this discussion are the people being targeted by advocates of political correctness.
From the attached article: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=552
“When addressing the general public, contemporary advocates of Political Correctness – or Cultural Marxism, as it might just as easily be called – present their beliefs with APPEALING SIMPLICITY as merely a commitment to being “sensitive” to other people and embracing values such as “tolerance” and “diversity.”
PC is a manipulative Marxist technique aimed at the poor, minorities, women, etc. Groups that do not have a voice on their own.
Noted, behind closed doors, wikileaks has exposed Madame Hillary’s theories on the causation of SJWism.. she identifies three distinct types of dysfunction.
As for the view in the video… it clearly shows that this is an untapped area of study that could definitely warrant further interest.
I do have two concerns with these finding. One is the downplaying of a potential biological component. I strongly suspect that toxoplasmosis could be a strong contributing factor in SJWism. The other concern is regarding verbal abilities… this could be correlation, but not causation.
In any case, very interesting.. well done.
The take away revelations from this research is A) it was the Frankfurt school which started the fraudulent narrative that there was no leftist authoritarianism (when Stalinism was a glaring example of it) And B) Leftist authoritarianism is a product of low IQ, low cognitive skill combined with abnormal psychology.
Great segment Lauren – stay in touch with these clinical researchers so we can understand the pathology of leftist fanaticism.
