You guys should watch this guys channel. He really breaks down a lot of the left political and left ecosystem down in a way that is very accessible and very strategic. I forget his degree but he has a background in a related field that let's him talk about the subject matter in a very clear and precise way.

Unfortunately he does not include genetics, history and geopolitics so his analysis is limited to the philosophical and economic mechanics side of things but he has been very solid overall.

// EDIT: Having watched this again, I need to modify the above statement. You should still watch his channel but mostly it isn't terribly useful. The reason is that in order to fight the war properly, you need to have basic understanding of two key categories of knowledge:

1) Evolutionary Biology - Specifically as it applies at the speciation level. It helps to know a lot, but you want to frame that knowledge in a box that says things like "this is a dog, this is how we motivate dogs", "this is a horse, this is how we break a wild horse psychologically (there is an actual method for this, believe it or not) and make it our beast of burden".

Humans are just another species. Training humans to believe whatever you want is just straight forward simple behaviour modification. You don't need to have Jordan Petersons qualifications to do the work.

2) Hierarchical Understanding of Knowledge Created by the Human Brain - The human brain deals with information in some very specific ways. First, it categorizes everything into hierarchies and breaks everything down to their individual components and then applies logic to understand that dataset. This is all the stuff the gray matter layers of the brain deal with like math, logic, art, philosophy, history, mythology, stories, music, apologetics and and so on. All of those separate categories have specific structures, shapes and are organized in specific ways and if you have even fairly rudimentary (but a very GOOD rudimentary) understanding of things like math, logic, apologetics and maybe a smidge of philosophy, history and such, you can argue pretty much any point.

Anyway, this guys ONLY EVER talks about that teeny tiny sub-category labeled philosophy. Philosophy is just trying to explain the human soul using logic. Which, while useful for practicing logic has zero past explanatory power and zero future predictive power because he misunderstands that when people refer to the human soul they are just talking about the default biological subsystems that define (very strictly) behaviour of our species.

If he was to segment out his narrative into the above categories it would make a lot more sense. He can talk about the biological subsystems that control our disgust reflex and how they are related to being high or low in openness and then in a separate category he can list the techniques used to train humans to believe all kinds of bullshit and examine these techniques the way a dog trainer evaluates dog training techniques.

So, interesting and he is well versed in philosophy, but he is deeply embedded up his on arse.
