A Psychological Breakdown of a Rap Song With Jordan Peterson (Video)

“I’m not ashamed because I’m white, If every Caucasian’s a bigot, I guess every Muslim’s a terrorist, Every liberal is right…” – Lyrics from the song Facts

~~~~~

In this 3 February 2024 video, Jordan Peterson offers a breakdown of the Tom MacSonald and Ben Shapiro Rap song  “Facts”.

So with regards to every Caucasian being a bigot and his claim that therefore every Muslim is a terrorist and every liberal is Right, which is definitely not correct, especially if you’re talking about the progressive mob, the fundamental problem  with that is the woke reductive algorithm or ideology Ben and Tom are criticizing. We did research back in 2016 looking  at politically correct authoritarianism. That was back when psychologists were just starting to analyze left-wing  authoritarianism and we found the best predictors of being a left-wing authoritarian were being not verbally intelligent. That was a walloping predictor. It was the variable most closely associated with intelligence which I had ever seen,  including grades, and so if you’re not very bright, the woke idiology is very attractive to you.

The second best predictor  was being female and the third best predictor was having a female temperament. The fourth best predictor was ever  having taken a course which had the woke ideology as a portion of it. We are noting all over the world now that men and  women’s political beliefs are segregating and so that is a reflection this woke ideology is also a perversion of the basic  female ethos. It is the extension of compassion far beyond its relevant domain and it’s an extension as a consequence of  Pride, so the women who are doing this, there are men doing it, too, especially those who have a more feminine temperament.

They call me offensive, controversial
There’s only two genders, boys and girls
They can’t cancel my message
‘Cause I’m the biggest independent rapper in the whole freaking world
Claim that I’m racist, yeah, right
I’m not ashamed because I’m white

If every Caucasian’s a bigot, I guess every Muslim’s a terrorist
Every liberal is right
I don’t wanna talk to folks who don’t get it
Go woke, go broke, no hope, it’s pathetic
Pro-choice, pronouns, pro-love, you’re progressives
But you ain’t pro-gun, no one to protect it
Where the American flags at?
Remember when people would hang those?
They’ve been taken down
They all been replaced with BLM flags or a rainbow

This ain’t rap, this ain’t money, cars, and clothes
We ain’t selling drugs, we ain’t gonna overdose
We ain’t pushing guns, ain’t promoting stripper poles
We won’t turn your sons into thugs or your daughters into hoes

I don’t care if I offend you
I was put here to upset you
You can cry and you can scream, you can riot in the streets
You defunded the police, now there’s no one to protect you
I hope I offend you
I ask myself, “What would Ben do?”
Let’s just keep it real, facts don’t care how you feel, man
If you want my pronouns, I’m the man, I’m the man who don’t respect you

Let’s look at the stats, I’ve got the facts
My money like Lizzo, my pockets are fat
Homie, I’m epic, don’t be a WAP
Dawg, it’s a yarmulke, homie, no cap
Look at the graphs, look at my charts
You’re blowing money on strippers and cars
You’re going to prison, I’m on television
Dawg, no one knows who you are

Keep hating on me on the internet
My comment section, all woke Karens
And I make racks off compound interest
Y’all live with your parents
Nicki, take some notes
I just did this for fun
All my people download this
Let’s get a Billboard number one

This ain’t rap, this ain’t money, cars, and clothes
We ain’t selling drugs, we ain’t gonna overdose
We ain’t pushing guns and promoting stripper poles
We won’t turn your sons into thugs or your daughters into hoes

I don’t care if I offend you
I was put here to upset you
You can cry and you can scream, you can riot in the streets
You defunded the police, now there’s no one to protect you
I hope I offend you
I ask myself, “What would Ben do?”
Let’s just keep it real, facts don’t care how you feel, man
If you want my pronouns, I’m the man, I’m the man who don’t respect you

You mad, you mad, you mad
I guess it’s cool to be the victim, well, I’ma be the man
You sad, you sad, you sad
You just try to get attention, being triggered is all you have
You mad, you mad, you mad
You blame everybody else for every problem that you can
You sad, you sad, you sad
I will never say I’m sorry, I ain’t taking nothing back

I don’t care if I offend you
I was put here to upset you
You can cry and you can scream, you can riot in the streets
You defunded the police, now there’s no one to protect you
I hope I offend you
I ask myself, “What would Ben do?”
Let’s just keep it real, facts don’t care how you feel, man
If you want my pronouns, I’m the man, I’m the man who don’t respect you
