Agreed, but even if our wires are crossed or frayed they still spark.

**** your specificity. You always attribute leftists attacking anyone for any moral reason as being about something else and at some point it just looks like you assuming that you can't possibly be a big enough douche to not really grasp what other people are so bothered about.

jwb 08-08-2019 06:34 PM

He didn't specifically misgender anyone

I never minded Peterson personally, but Crowder and Shapiro are trash. Not that I've been outraged over them being on his podcast. They do spread dangerous misinformation though so I prefer we don't legitimize them with a platform.

you're getting vague yet combative.

I'd say it's more about the glib way he dances around being a social conservative by not really saying anything of substance besides his most basic concepts like "young men are lost" or "clean your room" or "hierarchies exist in nature". It gets pretty gross the way he doesn't even take responsibility for what he implies.

I don't really care for them either but they aren't fringe enough to black list

I mean if he was interviewing Richard Spencer with soft balls that's one thing

But slowly but surely pretty much everyone on the right is being deemed untouchable

Anteater 08-08-2019 06:39 PM

They're doing it to people who identify center-left too. Look at how guys like Tim Pool are treated.

this is worth moral outrage?

It's not.

However, in a stage controlled by a fawning talk show host where nothing is challenged, Peterson's presumptive approach to logic can seem reasonable to the impressionable. OH is right that it's not the job of people like Rogan to impart critical thinking on their audience, but they'd be a lot better at their jobs if they did.

jwb 08-08-2019 06:52 PM

In the interviews where he is challenged he did better than he ever did on Rogan lol

Should be boycotting Cathy Newman if anything

I've seen that.

Frownland 08-08-2019 06:59 PM

Then you already know that Peterson leads himself down some pretty absurd rabbit holes and espouses his pseudointellectualism when his positions are challenged.

jwb 08-08-2019 07:06 PM

When it comes to his religious stances, he irritates me in that he won't be clear what he believes. I think honestly he doesn't believe but wants to maintain the illusion that he might and as such becomes evasive on that topic.

Matt is more straight forward but also boring and uninspired.

In general, Jordan Peterson's best work is his literary analysis of the Bible in the series of college lectures he has on YouTube.

That's logic for ya. It doesn't become sexy until you assign some beauty to it a la Sagan.

Based on the fact that he secretly likes Peterson.

jwb 08-08-2019 07:09 PM

Nah he's just not an original thinker. His claim to fame is arguing with religious retards on the phone

Moving goalposts to strawmanning to ad hominem smh

Frownland 08-08-2019 07:20 PM

Nah he's duct taped. He gets more DIY cred that way.

jwb 08-08-2019 07:24 PM

Why the **** haven't you joined a commune yet?


jwb 08-08-2019 07:46 PM

What do you mean supposed to be?

jwb 08-08-2019 08:01 PM

Heh. I started ****ing up in middle school. By high school I would hardly attend class.

My point wasn't too make you say you were unhappy though. A little adversity is good for the spirit. You ever meet anyone who skated through life that was worth talking to?

jwb 08-08-2019 08:09 PM

What kind of right wing junk specifically?

OccultHawk 08-08-2019 08:11 PM

Any American that says they’re going to “university” should immediately be expelled.

We all know you have no tolerance for that.

Stop acting like you’re entitled to control the conversation.

jwb 08-08-2019 08:23 PM

I'm entitled to ask him why he didn't answer my question. Just you try and stop me.

My friend that tried to pedal Peterson on to me also tried to tell me that the kissless virgin shooter just snapped because life is so unfair or sumn and I had to tell him that the dude was a spoiled rich brat that felt entitled to women's bodies and threw a temper tantrum when he didn't get it.

we don't hear about that

So what? Unless they told him they were inviting the other dude its totally reasonable. I dont like Peterson but this is so lol.

He wants to study "maths" and wear the school "colours."

Isn’t that pretty much the same thing?
