This faggot has read some Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn
I've listened to dissertations of Russian writers (from English speakers who learned to read Russian), and their general consensus is that you can get the gist of what they're saying in English, but important parts won't translate unless you're either a) fluent in Russian, or b) a Russian peasant or gulag worker from the 19th century or the early 20th century.
Dostoevsky targeted his fellow peasants as readers of his work. All Russian peasants were staunchly Orthodox, and therefore had a strong knowledge of Greek concepts and names (Alexander, Anastacia, Stavros/Stavrogen, Nikolai etc.) and therefore rejected a lot of the nonsense of Western Europe. So, they rejected a lot of the good that came out of Western Europe, while simultaneously rejecting the degeneracy of it (i.e. Roman Catholic dogshit.)
The conclusion is that Russia - and by extension, Ukraine - is as alien to the rest of Europe as they are to Asia and, say, Australia. People don't understand them, people don't envy them, and they don't care. I don't trust the guy, but Putin's the man for them, at least for now.
This is where I can't bring myself to hate Peterson, nor love him: I love that he at least brings up Russian philosophy and history (and thereby, Greek and Christian theology), but he's annoying because he espouses English empirical liberalism WHICH IS OUTRIGHT REFUTED AND REJECTED BY THE RUSSIANS. He brings up superior thinkers to himself - which is a good virtue - but he espouses Ayn Rand Jew bullshit like "individualism" which is counterintuitive to those core values.
Apparently, nobody told these dickheads that you can be an individual and in a group at the same time. Crazy concept.
Hate to say it, but it lends credibility to the idea that Peterson is just a CIA stooge, but he doesn't know it; a "useful idiot" as the KGB called them.
