chrisp65 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Hadn’t heard of him until this morning. Apparently he was stitched up by twitter and youtube and the matrix and the new left and pro trans feminazis.. Unlucky guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I think he confuses university campus life with all of human existence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Not sure that he's actually all that dense. There's clearly a brain there, it's just that he chooses to use it to advance some of the worst people and the worst ideas in the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many of my interests have elements that like to flirt with, or outright jump on bed with, him and his ilk. Sadly there's whole cottage industries of 'critics' in the pop culture sphere that have created their own little ecosystem of decrying things as woke and pointing at Peterson and co as the 'intellectualism' behind it (and then you're on the road to the algorithm pumping you full of conservatism of varying sorts).

chrisp65 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I’ve just read a few of his latest tweets. There’s some strong hate in that man’s heart. All there is to work out is whether its genuine hate or a route to money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found out how much more lucrative espousing these views was when he went from a nobody uni lecturer to a lauded commentariat star, so kept walking that path, but it started from real hatred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted September 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2023 Is he the fella, who said he would refer to people as he or she (respecting how they categorise themselves) but nothing else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he’s the guy that decided if he says youre a he or a she then that’s what you are. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I think the best descriptor of him was The stupid persons smart person. He is wise as he knows what triggers people, what makes him money and how to sound intelligent enough so as the stupid people, think he is the smart person. All the time its basically right wing talking points. anti climate, anti trans, anti same sex parenting, that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted September 18, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2023 We live in a world where everyone knows they're being lied to by the people in power - anyone that comes and dangles some sort of explanation for that is grasped desperately by people wanting to make sense of a chaotic world - there's so much room in that for anyone to make money that it's almost surprising there aren't more people doing it. I've seen Mr Peterson a couple of times on things - I find him disagreeable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) The internet and social media have given a megaphone to all of the crackpots, lunatics, and dangerous people the world over.

choffer Posted September 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2023 An easy starting point for some or a wild, biased take-down for others. This Graun article will fill some gaps for those in the dark. Quote How dangerous is Jordan B Peterson, the rightwing professor who 'hit a hornets' nest'? Since his confrontation with Cathy Newman, the Canadian academic’s book has become a bestseller. But his arguments are riddled with ‘pseudo-facts’ and conspiracy theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted September 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2023 Dr Peterson says he does not object to trans people or to choosing which traditional pronoun they prefer. "If the standard transsexual person wants to be regarded as he or she, my sense is I'll address you according to the part that you appear to be playing," he said https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37875695.amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
