He is also known for a number of books about [[SJW|Social Justice Warriors]], who he insists always lie. One of these books is called "SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police". He describes his particular area of interest as "Gamma males", or alpha-subversive, subject expert men who are prone to meltdowns. He describes most male [[SJW|SJWs]] and many male journalists as Gamma males. He believes that removal of [[tradcon|traditional gender roles]] and feminism has "gammatized men" who would otherwise be "[[wagecuck|deltas]] or better". | He is also known for a number of books about [[SJW|Social Justice Warriors]], who he insists always lie.

He is also known for his book ''Jordanetics: A Journey into the Mind of Humanity's Greatest Thinker'', written in 2018. In it, Day repeatedly castigates the famous psychologist and self-help guru [[Jordan Peterson]] as a coward and a liar, among other alleged personal failings. The book's central theme is that Peterson's popular ''12 Rules'' book is a multi-layered work in which each of Peterson's rules has a dual superficial and hidden meaning. Day goes through Peterson's 12 eponymous ''12 Rules'' step by step and details the purported hidden meaning in each of them.

In it, Day repeatedly castigates the famous psychologist and self-help guru [[Jordan Peterson]] as a coward and a liar, among other alleged personal failings. The book's central theme is that Peterson's popular ''12 Rules'' book is a multi-layered work in which each of Peterson's rules has a dual superficial and hidden meaning. Day goes through Peterson's 12 eponymous ''12 Rules'' step by step and details the purported hidden meaning in each of them. Like the Gnostic religions and many forms of the occult, Day claims, Peterson's book contains overt teachings reserved for the laymen and 'hidden' knowledge reserved for the trusted initiates or those gifted enough to be able to discern the subtext. He often implies Peterson is himself a Gnostic, an occultist or even an outright satanist, with Day dubbing Peterson: "one part Tony Robbins, one part L. Ron Hubbard, and one part Aleister Crowley".<ref>https://voxday.blogspot.com/2018/12/mailvox-leave-jordy-alone.html</ref> He also frequently denies that Peterson is right-wing or conservative at all, and claims his worldview is actually 'Marxist' in tone (despite Peterson's Jungian-inspired mystic jargon, which the arch-materialist Marx would have likely disdained). Peterson himself denies claims he is a 'right-winger'.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OeWGMr_tns</ref> | ||
He compares Peterson repeatedly to the founder of the religion of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, (with the title of Day's book being a play on Hubbard's book ''Dianetics'') and claims that like Hubbard, the ultimate goal of Peterson's ''12 Rules'' and his work, in general, is to create a universalist religious movement. He alleges that Peterson has a messiah complex and that he views it as his life mission to prevent a 'new holocaust' and bring balance (in line with hermetic ideas) to the world via his teachings. Day alleges Peterson is aiming to lead people towards the 'middle path' of balance and away from what Peterson considers destructive extremist ideologies, such as ethnonationalism, via leading disenfranchised young men down a path of deradicalization and existence as beta providers in the 'safe' middle of the [[dominance hierarchy]] far away from the 'chaos' of the low ranks and the corruption of the high ranks. Day concludes that Peterson is essentially advocating a form of decelerated globalism, making Peterson 'controlled opposition' in Day's eyes. He cites passages of Peterson's writing and Peterson's contribution to a United Nations report on sustainability as evidence of this thesis. | He compares Peterson repeatedly to the founder of the religion of Scientology, L.
