I don't believe I have come to his defense, nor do I believe he needs any. I've only asked for specific reasons to disagree with him, with evidence to support that he is being represented accurately.

If we're attributing something to him for which there is no evidence, then it isn't defense of the person; it's merely clarifying the facts so that we can discuss reality instead of some imagination of it.

If you're seeing a connection with white nationalism, then I need to see evidence for that before we can proceed to discuss it, because that association hasn't been established. I've certainly not heard of anything from Peterson concerning segregation. I'm perfectly willing to accept that Peterson is not credible, or has unreasonable ideas, I just need to see evidence for it.

I'm not posting this vdeolink in defense of catholic church. I'm a atheist. It's just to show that all radical forms can be dangerous. Even radical veganism can be dangerous.
I've always said I'm a feminist because I support equal freedoms and the right to pursue happiness for women, just as any other arbitrary group of people.

The video is lost on me because my Spanish isn't good enough to interpret what's going on, and I don't have the context in which the conflict started.

My philosophy on confrontation is simple though; if someone is determined to create trouble for themselves, I'm happy to oblige. I don't wait for it to become a mob either... first person that wants trouble, gets it.

Reminds me of when an embassy gets overrun and a ton of people get killed. If they'd have just shot the first person to trespass, the rest would lose interest quickly. Why we allow angry mobs of people to work into a frenzy is beyond me.

I have experience applying that principle in prison too. Freedom and safety are lost by allowing the first steps to erode it. Let someone trespass against you in a minor way, and you've opened yourself up to escalating abuse. Using minimum necessary force and standing your ground, you deny the first trespasses and set the precedent that misbehavior won't' be tolerated. They'll either kill you or respect you; and usually it's respect they choose.
