Hello, Dr. Peterson :) I'd like to run this past you in case I'm all sorts of wrong and/ or mistaken:
You've been using the descriptor "Post-modern Neo-Marxists" to describe the characters currently assaulting every form of Order or (healthy) boundary they feel "oppressed" by. That's always felt like it was too... specialized (for lack of a better word) to be relatable. I finally thought of something to offer for consideration as an alternative - necessary refinement notwithstanding: Cult of Hyper Maternal Narcissistic Openness. "Cult" because there's a frightening abundance of tactics from the BITE model and Influence Continuum present in most of the assaults on Order (links, from James Lindsay & more, below) "Hyper maternal" from you (in your interview with Rebel News, IIRC) presented the data that the driving personality in/ behind the people involved is one of a "hyper concerned mother for her infant" "Narcissistic" because, not only has "textbook narcissism" been a description you've attributed to some of these characters, but it's also one of the types of pathology referenced in the Influence Continuum (link below) "Openness" because (assuming I have *any* of what follows here even close to correct) that's the personality dimension that would be most inclined to feel "oppressed" by healthy social (societal?) boundaries, especially if the person is highly Open *and* lacking the Conscientiousness - spelled that without looking it up, by the way ;) - which would appropriately bind Creativity so it wasn't mere destruction. Also, the personality dimension that would be most(?) inclined to criticize the society before self(?).

I always use double speed for content, and it would be much appreciated if the option was added :) Also; *please* - if you haven't already - watch and listen and (if you can make the time) make a video going through and steel manning the below lecture, as it's a former KGB agent explaining *nearly point for point* the assault on Western society/ culture/ civilization, and it should be either competently disproven, or updated and made much more known than it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYqAgJ0dYc0&ab_channel=RM-CosmicConsciousness
I am a 25 year old woman, my mother insists I marry a rich man because she has, what do I do?
Jordan, I’m really tired of dealing with an overbearing mother who won’t respect my boundaries. I’ve learned what I want in life and I’m with someone who may not be wealthy, but that can carry their own weight financially. My mother has divorced my dad and married a wealthy man. She has often bought me clothes even up to present day, most of what I wear, she bought without consulting me beforehand. I know it’s not normal. She is what you would call a devouring morher. I now live in a condo she bought me without asking my opinion and I regret accepting her offer after my past relationship broke down beforehand (which was not a healthy one and my mom was right about it to some extent but now that I’ve conceded that’s she was right she’s become more overbearing than ever). I am with someone now that I feel very strong with and he’s an honest man who knows what he wants. He and I both know how to negotiate with one another and we have great chemistry. Yet, as my father says, I have to act all nice and accepting as my mother continues to bash my current relationship and tell me I’m a desperate woman because I’m with a man who’s not wealthy. Im very tired of living like this. I’ve recovered from BPD through therapy and by reading your books, but I feel myself crumbling again. How do I deal with this? How do I confront this suffering that tugs at my very being without falling apart again? Please help me.
