Channel Title: ZeroFox Given Channel Description: I have always considered myself to be a "Liberal", but now I just can't seem to find a valid description for what I stand for. Extreme Right and Extreme Left positions are just outrageous, and it seems like the Extreme Left is more outrageous than anyone. We need common sense, rationality and solid, civil arguments back. People don't have the right to NOT be offended. People have to realize that they need to be strong enough to get past things that may be offensive, and understand how absolutely imperative that is when living together in society. To be critical of ideas, some MUST be offended. Without open dialogue, we can only disagree without any understanding. To disagree without discussion leads to segregation and violence. Allow yourself to be offended, and engage in actual discourse! Peace! <video> Identity Politics make Solidarity Impossible - Brendan O'Neill and Jordan Peterson Description: Brendan O'Neill weighs in identity politics, and how they serve to separate, segregate and divide. What's being lost - as the discussion divides us all into smaller and smaller groups - is that public policy based on individual freedom, and access to opportunity, can bring everyone together. This should be so simple to understand - and yet those who bring it up are labelled and discredited.

He understands why they are using these tactics, and vehemently disagrees with many who are on the radical side of politics…including both those that consider themselves on the Left – or the Right.

Too often, the time taken by many to criticize him - and the time taken by him to defend himself - distracts many from what he is really trying to say. I have been a little ill, but should be back to 'normal' in the next day or two. This video doesn't have commentary either, but I wanted to put something up that wasn't as 'argumentative', and perhaps could be seen as more inspirational. I am not a religious person at all, but Jordan Peterson's message of self-responsibility, of working together, of being the best person you can be, and picking yourself up out of suffering is not a negative point of view in any way.

He has struggled to criticize ideas, while separating himself from those who simply want to be critical of a group of people. He has been arrested, detained, vilified in the media and discredited with various slurs. If we separate ideas from people, and have real conversations, we can see that there is validity in much of what Tommy Robinson is concerned about. He also has support from some in the Muslim community who follow Islam. Discrediting Tommy Robinson as a bigot will serve to strengthen the actual ethno-nationalists that he has tried so hard to distance himself from.

Diversity is all around us, and doesn't need government policies mandating it's implemention. Cultures of sucessful societies exchange information, and adopt better systems, while discarding those of little use. Isolating cultures and being afraid to say that certain cultural characteristics are better than others is harmful and costly. Throughout history, cultures have been different.

Critical analysis and disagreement are fine. More and more, however, the critics seem to repeat the same idea, that Jordan Peterson was completely incorrect about the free speech issue in Canada surrounding Bill C-16. Jordan Peterson, it is stated, is either foolish or has intentionally misrepresented the danger to induce fear and division. In this video, I try to explain - in simple terms (once terms are defined) - how Jordan Peterson was correct, and remains correct in his concern that failure to use words as required by a government agent can lead to incarceration. The fact that the Criminal Code of Canada does not directly state this is irrelevant. An understanding of Human Rights Codes, their Commissions and Tribunals, along with the Federal equivalent is needed.

Jordan Peterson has come under heavy criticism as of late, from NBC hit-pieces, the Cathy Newman fiasco, and articles claiming that he is Alt-Right, anti-semitic - or worse. Jordan Peterson's every word is listened to carefully, and often misrepresented or used against him without listening to his overall message. Jordan Peterson, like each of us, is first a person - and he has many sides, thoughts, opinions and ideas. Two of these clips show a playful, humorous side to Jordan Peterson, and some insight into how he generally is when not being scrutinized so closely. I am working on other (more serious) videos, but thought this would be fun - and insightful - to post.

When Jordan Peterson states "I didn't say that", an opportunity for asking questions, open dialogue and civil discourse was available. Unfortunately, this wasn't taken. It is difficult to expect a massive audience to go out and independently verified something - when the person you are accusing of something is sitting right beside you. The misquote and misrepresentation of Jordan Peterson's statements during an interview were clarified months ago. It's a shame we have to go through this again...but "trying to throw a lot of mud in the hopes that some of it sticks" seems to be a common tactic against Jordan Peterson as of late.

Whether it is in politics, in the media, or on campuses - the fear of critiquing any part of a viewpoint stop any critique from taking place. In addition, those that disagree are given labels, discredited and misrepresented. This inability - to recognize valid disagreement and the avoidance to self-critique - is a failure of the Left that the Right hopes will continue.
