2mørvs - dekulakization lyrics

[verse1: dr. jordan b. peterson]
we were looking at the discourse
that preceeds genocide in genocidal states
and the enhancement of a sense of victimization
on the part of one of the groups
usually the group that’s going to commit the genocide
first of all their sense of being victims
is much heightened by the demagogues
who are trying to stir up this sort of hatred
so they basically say:
look, you’ve been oppressed in a variety of ways
and these arе the people who did it
and thеy’re not gonna stop doing it
and this time we’re gonna get them before they get us
it’s something like that
and so there’s something very pathological
about the enhancement of victimization, which is… well…
see this+ the+ the problem as+
as far as i+ i’m concerned with it is
it’s not thought through very well
because there’s there’s a point that’s being made
and the point is that
people have been oppressed and they suffer
and that’s true, that point
but that’s+ but then the proper framework
from within which to interpret that i believe is
that’s characteristic of life
ye+ye+ you can’t take it personally in some sense
and you can’t divide the world neatly into perpetrators and victims
and you certainly can’t divide the world neatly into perpetrators and victims
and then assume that you’re only in the victim class
and then assume that that gives you, like
[hook1: dr. jordan b. peterson]
access to certain forms of redress let’s say
it gets dangerous very rapidly if you do that sort of thing
so, for example, one of the things that characterized the soviet union
and this is particularly true in the 1920’s, but+ but afterwards, so
the soviets were very much enamored of the idea of class guilt

[verse2: dr. jordan b. peterson]
so, for example
although it was only about 40 years previously
that the serfs had bin emanc+p+ted
they weren’t much more than slaves, right?
and so that was the bulk of the russian population
they were bought and sold along with the land
so, they had been emanc+p+ted and+ and some of them+
many of them had turned into independent farmers
and some of them had become reasonably prosperous
because, at least in principle
i presume a certain proportion of them from being crooked
but i presume a larger proportion of them
from actually being able to raise food
and of course at that time the bulk of the food population
was produced by these relatively successful peasant farmers
and relatively successful would mean
maybe they had a brick house or something
and maybe they had a couple of cows
and maybe they were able to hire a few people
and so, you know, it+
it wasn’t like they were massive land owners or anything
but i talked to you a little bit about the pareto principle
and the notion that in any domain of activity
a small proportion of people
end up producing most of what’s in that domain of activity
the same was true in russia
with regards to these peasant farmers
some of them were extraordinarily efficient
and they produced most of russia’s food
and when the communists came in
they described those…
those land holders as parasites essentially
predicated on the marxist idea
that if someone had extracted profit from an enterprise
that they had basically stolen that profit from… from…
from the people, say, that they had employed
or otherwise oppressed
[hook2: dr. jordan b. peterson]
so you could be a member of the kulak
k+u+l+a+k
k+u+l+a+k
you could be a member of the kulak+class
and then, because you were a member of that class
you were automatically guilty
and so, what happened was+
and you gotta think this through
to really understand what happened
so, what happened was
the intellectual communists were sent out+
in cadres out into these little towns
to find people who would help them round up the kulaks
now you gotta think about what a small town is like, because…
so, imagine you’re in a town and there’s three or four people
or maybe ten people or something like that
who are a little more successful than everyone else

[verse3: dr. jordan b. peterson]
and a certain number of people are gonna be fine with that
and maybe even happy about it
because they regard those people
as particularly productive
and as stalwart members of the community
regardless of their flaws
but there’s gonna be some people
who are not happy about it all
that are gonna be very resentful about it and jealous
and so those are gonna be people
whose characters i would say are of the less positive type
and so when the intellectuals came in
and described the reason that these people
should be treated as parasites and profiteers
then it was the resentful minority in those towns
and that would be the kinda guy
that hangs around in the bar all the time
and is completely unconscientious
and fails at everything
and then blames everyone else for it
the intellectuals came in and said:
this is unfair, that this happened to you
you’ve actually been victimized
and now it’s your opportunity to go have your revenge
and so that’s exactly what happened
now in some of the villages
sometimes the peasants would actually surround the+ the+ the+ the
the farmsteads of these more successful people
and try to defend them
but that never worked out for very long
and so then these mobs
these angry mobs would go into the farmhouses
and strip the place right down to nothing
and they packed these people up
and sent them on trains
with no food out to siberia
where there was no place to live
and so they were packed into houses
you know, maybe they had a squaremeter each to live in and…
well their children died of typhoid
and and and many of them froze to death
many, many people died
millions of people died
as a consequence of the dekulakization
[hook3: dr. jordan b. peterson]
the dekulakization
the dekulakization
the dekulakization
millions of people died as a consequence of the dekulakization

[verse4: dr. jordan b. peterson]
at least as a consequence of its total effect
so what happened then was that, uh, the+
there wasn’t any food produced
and so then six million ukrainians starved to death in the 1920’s, which is something you never hear about, right?
you never hear about that
why do you never hear about that?!
that’s a question worth asking
you know, it’s an absolute catastrophe
they used to+
so these people were starving
right to the point of cannibalism
right, i mean, it was ugly
as ugly as anything you could possibly imagine
if you were a mother and+ and+
so you’re supposed to hand over all your grain
in to the central committee
mostly for distribution into the cities
you didn’t get to keep any for yourself
and so maybe then afterwards if you were a mother
you’d go out into fields that had already been, uh, harvested
and you’d pick up individual grains of wheat
if you didn’t turn those in they’d sho+
that was death for you
so that’s how far it was pushed, so
well, so that’s a little story about how victimization+
how the idea of victimization and+ and perpetration
can get out of hand extraordinarily rapidly
and so whenever people are beating the victim drum, you know
they’ll cover that up with+ with+ uh, empathy, roughly speaking
we’re speaking on behalf of the oppressed
it’s like, maybe you are, but maybe you’re no saint
because, you know, you’re so sure that you’re a saint
and you’re only speaking from the position of good
highly unlikely
highly unlikely
highly unlikely
highly unlikely
highly unlikely
highly unlikely
