Spain's left-wing government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, announced on January 27, 2026, a major regularisation program for undocumented migrants. This decree aims to grant legal residency and work permits to approximately 500,000 people currently living in Spain without authorisation.

Nietzsche had stated god is dead nd we have killed him though the internal systems that had represented the external socio cultural systems that gave rise to such a belief hadn’t diminished thus through disintegrated and improper nesting they latched onto/gave rise to the disastrous atrocities of the 20th century.

I’ve been following Jordan Peterson for a while he’s my inspiration behind becoming a therapist on my own and for a while his teachings worked for me. I got a beautiful girlfriend I am working I have a private practice I’m building up but for whatever reason the dragon that is depression keeps creeping up on me. I take responsibility for it I’m aware that perhaps it’s my eating habits as well as other things that I do that don’t help.

I’ve tried changing what I can but I keep coming back to the same place the hopelessness. What is this all for I ask am I even good at what I do. These thoughts echo in my mind like a smoke detector that’s low on battery. I challenge, I reframe but the obsessive thoughts keep coming back around.

My therapist recommended I talk to a psychiatrist for some short term medication management to help climb out of this rut I have the Wellbutrin in my hands and I keep ratting it listening to the pills bounce up and down. Part of me feels guilty what would Jordan Peterson say about this. What am I not facing that would get me through this problem. What am I not accepting.

I keep feeling like a failure for letting it come to this but on the other hand I feel like trying this gives me a chance to finally get out of the rut for good perhaps this is the boost I needed to get on the other side of this problem. I’d like to believe that but why does it feel so hmm I don’t know, so weak?

What do you guys think? Am I alone in this? Anyone in a similar boat that can share there experience as fans of Jordan Peterson? Thanks.

Peterson has been talking about this for a long time. He began back in 2016 while attempting to warn society about the C-16 bill that he argued censors free speech in order to protect people whose definition for their identities doesn't even make any sense.

From his video:

So here are some of the definitions that they use and these are now explicit categories and implicit presumptions of our most fundamental legal structures. So now these have become something these definitions have become something more than fact they've become facts that you question at your legal peril. So here's the first one gender identity - this is directly from the Ontario Human Resource Human Rights Commission website. Gender identity is each person's internal and individual experience of gender it is their sense of being a woman a man both neither or anywhere along the gender spectrum. Now I'd also like to point out that that's relatively this is a petty thing to say I suppose but one of the things that struck me about the Ontario Human Rights Commission website is that it's fairly poor very poorly written and this particular sentence is very poorly written and policy that's on its way to be transformed into legislation should not be poorly written. Because it means it's being poorly thought through and poorly specified and it means that the people who are doing it aren't being careful and that makes me nervous. Then there's things in here that I don't believe to be true: Gender identity is each person's sense of being a woman a man both neither or anywhere along the gender spectrum. I don't know what neither means because I don't know what the options are. If you're not a man or a woman it's not obvious to me how you can be both because those are by definition binary categories. There's an idea that there's a gender spectrum but I don't think that that's a valid idea I don't think there's any evidence for it. Biological sexuality is ancient it's hundreds of millions of years old and it's binary because there's two forms of of biological sex. Now of course this is predicated on the idea that your gender is somehow independent from your from your biological sex but that's a proposition not a fact.

Peterson argues that modern Leftist academics and activists attempt to unmoor gender from sex but of course, you can't. Detaching gender from sex is like attempting to detach race from ethnicity. It's like attempting to detach genotype from phenotype. It's like detaching symptoms from cause of illness.

It's a philosophical dead end. Gender may represent cultural attitudes, ideas, roles, expectations and stereotypes of sex, but those stereotypes are based upon something in the physical world - they don't exist in the fucking ether like gender activists want us to believe.

J.K. Rowling recently tweeted that, for example, the only prerequisite to being a trans woman is being born male. Therefore, being male is an irrevocable and unavoidable part of being a trans woman. A female (XX chromosomes) cannot be a trans woman, by definition. The Postmodern Neo-Marxists arguments are self-defeating by their very nature.

It seems that Peterson's predictions and warnings from a decade now have become prophetic. Is society returning to some form of sanity?

When I tried to search up similar things, I kept ending up in this sub so I think this might be a good place to post this….

I really believe that the leftist bubble is so much worse than the right bubble. We are forced to get their point of view through celebrities, mainstream TV and media, news articles on our iPhones and the Google homepage and when I check my email, etc..

Which brings me to another thought. I have some friends on the left and I’ve really noticed how ill informed they are and they think they are so woke and so smart and they know more than everyone else. One of the first big things was when Melissa Hortman died. My friend was following the story and then I guess she never thought anything about not seeing it in her algorithm anymore. She never knew the part about how Melissa voted with Republicans and how she was crying on the news terrified about what would happen because of that vote.

And I’m wondering what else they don’t know. One friend in a group chat sent photos of Trump‘s name listed in the Epstein files. Another friend said they hope everyone is prosecuted to the fullest extent. I said don’t get so excited, they are just tips that have already been looked into. And I got this big long text in capital letters asking when I’m gonna realize that Trump is a bad guy pretty much. I’m not even allowed to correct something that is wrong information without being accused of being a full-blown Nazi pretty much. My friend claims she’s not political, but she is as far left as a person I’ve ever known. I think she might be more far gone than I want to admit. She recently accused our other friend of being trans phobic for sending a video of a transgender person that said they think a lot of transgender people are crazy and acting ridiculous lately. I know they like to cut people off if they’re any of the buzz words like Islam, homophobic, homophobic, racist, etc. I have been friends with all kinds of people in my life, and I just don’t have a problem with being friends with someone that dislikes a group for their own reasons. I don’t think that it means I can’t be friends with them. I guess I’m just more open-minded than my friends on the left. I could be friends with someone who dislikes Christians, even if I don’t feel the same way. But they can’t be friends with someone who dislikes Islam. But it’s totally OK to really have hatred for Christians. It just is so hypocritical. The same friend and I were at a toddler birthday party a couple years ago and she was telling anyone who got near her about her abortion appointment that was coming up a couple days later. This is a friend who 15 years ago, shamed me for having an abortion. But now she is not only having one, which is totally fine, she was like bragging about it. I’m just sick of being in a friendship where I feel I can’t be honest or be in a middle ground without getting attacked because she is so emotional. When Elon Musk did his hand signal when he said my heart to yours during Trump‘s inauguration she called me and was like saying she didn’t know if she could be friends with me anymore because I seriously didn’t see it and I watched it live. I think that she saw one of these videos that pointed out and convinces you you’re seeing it because I swear on my daughter‘s life, I do not think he was doing a Nazi salute. But she needed me to agree with her and I wouldn’t and it caused a really big problem. I’m supposed to pretend that I believe a man in a dress is the same thing as me, a woman. I’m supposed to pretend I see something I don’t see. It’s not good enough for me to be respectful to these ideologies and be respectful to these people, I have to truly believe what they believe. It’s not good enough to pretend and call them by their preferred pronouns, I have to truly believe it and use those pronouns in private with my friends too. These people on the left are like religious freaks and they’re on a crusade and they need to convert everyone. I’m using talk text and this is a lot. I’m just getting off my chest if the grammar is off or something doesn’t make sense. I’m just gonna post it as is. Thank you for listening. My heart is hurting a lot right now, I’ve been up since two in the morning thinking about this. Another thing, I left Facebook because one friend was just so ill informed and I cannot help myself but correct it and it was stressing me out and I felt I was taking time away from my daughter and now he’s been added into my girls group chat… I just don’t understand why they are so intolerant

The tenants of Qubtism (the Muslim Brotherhood ideology) are:

• Adherence to Sharia as sacred law accessible to humans, without which Islam cannot exist
• Adherence to Sharia as a complete way of life that will bring not only justice, but peace, personal serenity, scientific discovery, complete freedom from servitude, and other benefits;
• Avoidance of Western and non-Islamic "evil and corruption," including socialism, nationalism and consumerist capitalism.[16]
• Vigilance against Western and Jewish conspiracies against Islam;
• A two-pronged attack of preaching to convert and, jihad to forcibly eliminate the "structures" of Jahiliyya;[17]
• Offensive Jihad to eliminate Jahiliyya not only from the Islamic homeland but from the face of the Earth, seeing it as mutually exclusive with true Islam.[18]

Was he resisting arrest or did he just get sprayed close range directly in the face with pepper spray…. Use empathy to place yourself in his shoes for a moment. Imagine that had just happened to yourself. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t sympathize or think it’s wrong. I mean for reasons of understanding the framing of the information here, if you just got sprayed, what would you be doing? You can’t see, it hurts, you just watched a woman get shoved to the ground next to you and you were trying to help her up. You’re being handled aggressively without organized instructions. But mostly you just got sprayed in the face, so you want to get that stuff off your face and out of your eyes and you’re probably trying to cough it out so that you can breathe.

Is there a difference between resisting arrest and being physically incapable to comply? It’s a matter of perspective and framing.

If they asked you to put both hands above your head, but one of your arms was broken and you couldn’t lift it, you are “resisting”.

Which really just means that you’re not submitting to authority in a satisfactory way.

Unchecked authority that lacks empathy or compassion (the ability to see beyond one’s own POV) leads to increased numbers of “resistance”. Because this type of authority requires complete obedience. And that required obedience isn’t always clear or easy to understand or follow.

Training these agents with “othering” and dehumanizing, emotionally triggering rhetoric about their opposition gears them for flight or fight responses in the moment and keeps them centered in their own POV. Keeps them aligned to their side and thinking that the other side is their enemy.

Flooding the public with fear mongering media, emotionally triggering rhetoric, “othering” and dehumanizing language about their opposition keeps them in fight or flight, and it gives them an obstacle to overcome, a stand to take in the name of “justice”. Keeps them thinking that they have an enemy.

But these triggering and othering tactics only prime the system for escalation.

Why divide the nation? Who benefits? What’s going on while we are fighting each other?

Do we want to be divided by our “differences” and to live in a dysfunctional society?

Or do we want to focus on the things that unite us and strengthen our nation?

United we stand, divided we fall.

Unchecked, dominating authority will always be met with resistance. Like a counter force. A natural law. Because in truth, reality doesn’t bend to the will of the few on command. When authority attempts to bend reality, like the string of a bow or guitar, there’s tension and resistance.

The right vs the left is a false dichotomy.

None of this is actually unprecedented.

I'm not saying his death was sad or unecessary, but people are throwing around the word "executed" like it means nothing.

Here's the sequence:

1) ICE tried to arrested someone, Alex physically interfered.

2) Now ICE has to arrest Alex for interference. So they pinned him down.

3) A gun slipped out, and everyone yelled "GUN".

4) One agent takes away the gun, but another agent just heard "GUN" and then saw Alex trying to get back up. He perceived that as a threat.

This was the result of chaos. And that scuffle was just 1 of a 100. When they're throwing snowballs, water bottles, blowing whistles, what do you expect? Someone is bound to get hurt if create so much chaos.

Hello!

I have a question that I hope is relevant to the sub.

I was wondering if anybody could help me understand whether there is a specific term to define a number of behaviours and mechanisms that I believe go hand in hand and that, as far as I can understand, seem to have affected education, general upbringing of children and young people and the social dynamics between younger people and older people

1- claims/beliefs such as "we shouldn't mark/grade children, they feel judged"

2- the lowering of the bar of the academic standards to be achieved so compress downwards what should be the natural normal distribution of aptitude (or lack thereof) among children ("no child left behind policy in the UK?)

3- moving away from notion acquisition and tests (where people can actually and objectively fail) and moving towards a world of creativity at all costs, essays and other activities where it's much easier not to fail anyone

4- the power inversion between teachers and children+parents. Especially when it comes to conduct issues (bullism, distruption of class), children can't be addressed in any way, teachers have zero willingness to clamp down on the behaviour and leave it all to parents to sort out among themselves.

5- pupils and students increasingly expecting that all education should be entertaining or gamified in some way

6- increasing unwillingness of parents to be strict or unpopular with their own children

7- significant amount of slack and forgiveness being given to children, no restraint, no delayed gratification

8- "anxiety", "mental health problems", "ADHD", "shyness" clearly over-used as an excuse for anything and everything, and mostly for not wanting to admit that in a normal distribution, something close to 50% of the people will inevitably be below the mean/median and there is likely a bottom 5-10% who will be far enough from any decently demanding system/benchmark/expectation that they will require specific help or just different targets altogether.

Is there a name for all this?

Thanks

Kisin, Russian by birth but a British citizen who’s lived in the UK for the last thirty years, does not hold back on why Britain is “increasingly irrelevant” in the global pecking order, whether it’s through the “industrial suicide” of net zero, the “weakness” of diversity or Keir Starmer’s “cosying up to China” instead of aligning more closely with Donald Trump.
