I haven't heard everything he's said, but he seems pretty level headed. Reminds me of being a Sam Harris type

Sam Harris is a paranoid Islamophobe - about as far from level headed as one can get

Blatantly false. Just because he is critical of Islam doesn't mean he's Islamophobic. One of his closest colleagues is a Muslim ffs.

He's a neocon for sure.

Because he's critical of Islam? That's a poor argument.

He's actually an atheist liberal

I'm left wing and I love him. I don't see how he's "edgy" or similar to anyone in any way.

His appearance on the H3H3 podcast wsas good. He seems like a thoughtful, well-spoken guy.

His Joe Rogan Interviews were even better.

I thought the left prided themselves on intellectualism and forming rational opinions based on science and facts. Why does that immediately go out the window in place of feelings for so many of you when it comes to gender discussions?

Nothing this professor said should be remotely controversial.

How about that time when he was asked point blank if he believed Jesus rose from the dead and he refused to answer presumably because a large portion of his patreon supporters would view admissions that he didn't negatively?

We do pride ourselves on being the more knowledgeable and intelligent political affiliation. Some ignorant extremists do not change that at all.

Lol oh so you can read his mind now? You're grasping at straws to try and hate on this guy, and its obvious. Because you keep bringing up things that don't actually refute anything the man says or the assertion that he's a genius that more people need to listen to. Even if you were to find a mistake he made, proving he's not perfect does not prove he's not a genius.

You're just not intelligent enough to successfully challenge Peterson's intellect. Sorry.

Weird how the 'on the left' tc seems to exclusively make posts complaining about 'unreasonable' trans people, red scare esque stuff about 'radical leftists' and now right wing talking heads getting their 15 mins of fame in MRA circles

Maybe I'm just some yokel, but this looks like he's questioning Jerry Sandusky's guilt (and rebutted heavily in the replies)

Wait are there Sandusky truthers? Also I googled Bikini and have no idea what the fuck he's getting at there.

Lol at the original tweet re sandusky in that chain. Definitely not a great starting point when you have to say "I disagree with his views on the holocaust but..."

Lol exclusively huh? I'd love to see you keep this conspiracy theory up and see how far it gets you. I bet you abandon it before the day ends.

Yeah I need to pay closer attention to usernames. But why do you make me post this before you actually respond to what I said? Its a very obviou deflection.

No, its a fact. First you don't know enough about Peterson to challenge any of his views, Second even when you eventually do learn about his stances, you do not have the required cognitive ability to be able to challenge him.

I just responded to the idea that he hasn't said things that should be controversial by bringing up something he said I believe should be considered controversial. It has nothing to do with any of that weird shit you brought up so there was no need to reply to it.

Oh so you were intentionally taking Admiral's post out of context in order to make a point that no one was arguing against. Some might consider that trolling.

Well I'm sure there are tons of memes of people like you trying to respond to Jordan Peterson.

Came into this topic thinking it was about the murderer and I was like "Why the fuck do we need a topic about that asshole"

TC note that NinjaBreakfast is an extremely far left individual. Possibly even a communist like Antifar. You can safely disregard anything either of them says. To them, if you aren't a communist you're alt right.

This is a ludicrous smear; you know I do not believe that. You know I make a point of drawing distinctions between the left (communists, if you must) and liberals, between conservatives and the alt-right.

So why are you lying?

Yeah TonyKojima or whatever his name is accused me of not only being a conservative but being a Trump supporter. I'm liberal through and through but I just take the time to hear every side of an issue before I decide anything. Obviously that flies in the face of ideologues who have their answers before they even know the question.

FWIW, I've seen you post and don't think you're an ideologue. But people like that TonyKojima guy and a few other posters are just way too set in their ideologies to take seriously.

Hm I might grant you that exception, but in general the far left users here think anyone who isn't like them is alt right. See NinjaBreakfast, Omnislasher, averagejoel, etc.

Lol honestly who talks like this.

Anyway I def agree you are probably a 'liberal' or a 'centrist' given your awful enabling and 'both sides!' rhetoric, presuming you are a real person at all ofc.

lmao having any nuance or thought process whatsoever makes you a "centrist" to NinjaBreakfast

what he really means though is that if you aren't a far left nutcase you're a nazi

Why are you putting words in his mouth? That's not even close to what he said, unless you, personally, conflate "centrist" with "nazi."

I hate the "both sides same thing!" nonsense.

And I talk like that. You've never heard the phrase "through and through"? I guess if you don't say something, it means no one does?

I really don't get what you're even arguing at this point, other than clearly making up bullshit as you go.

It's funny he keeps accusing me of this while simultaneously labelling me the most ardent communist to ever exist lol.

When in fact I have always very actively tried to distinguish ideologies on GameFAQs beyond the usual left right stuff.
---

I despise smug communists. How the fuck can you be so arrogant when your ideology fails over and over and over? How are you so proud to be a useful idiot?

Peterson is good. He rankles me a bit because he's so into himself, but he has earned that. I probably resent him partially due to my own inferior social status (as he would say) , along with me magnifying his perceived flaws to make myself feel better. He is a very wise person, and wisdom is something we sorely need these days. You could compare him to a Pandoras box, in the sense that, if one had never thought deeply about some of his subjects, he could open your mind in a way that you can never go back from. Some things once you know, you aren't the same anymore, like watching a girl you love look at another man sexually.
