Confidence Men - Peterson, Musk, Tate and the Duping of the American Mind

Uncovers the irrational philosophy behind today’s “confidence men” – from Jordan Peterson, to Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, and beyond. Why do millions of Americans support a system that is making them poorer, sicker, and less secure every day? If modern capitalism routinely exploits working people, then why do so many flock to its most reactionary defenders in personalities like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, and Andrew Tate? Or, as the philosopher Baruch Spinoza asked, why do we fight for slavery as if it were our salvation? Mere journalistic accounts of these hucksters have pointed out their many lies and inaccuracies, their personal failings and rank hypocrisy.
