Jordan Peterson is an anti-semite who keeps up plausible deniability, though.

Yeah, no. I'm gonna make fun of jews on the internet for eternity and i'm not accountable for some madman going on a shooting spree.

Fucking yikes

is this the same jordan peterson who gave a talk called "why the jews are so successful"

To be fair to the mad comments, calling it "Speaking out against Antisemitism." is pretty intellectually dishonest.

He said anyone using triple brackets is responsible for the shootings.

That's like when that chick said "Trump shouldn't kick out Hispanics, we need them to clean our toilets." and everyone got mad at her and then describing it as "people are mad that this chick is speaking out against Trump."

The repliers are mad that he taking responsibility away from the crazy asshole with a gun and implicating Internet trolls. They're mad at the dumb comment, not at "Defense of anti-semitism"

Reads like the unfiltered thoughts of a lot of the posters here, tbh

Literally the top voted reply is someone saying they will still make fun of Jews online regardless, oh contrarian one.

Know what, if blatantly hypocrissising himself earns him vitriol from his own enabling neo-nazi followers, I'm okay with the responses.

Racists will always be racists but it would be a delight if he crashed and burned like Alex Jones, Milo, etc.

Yes. He gave that talk in order to debunk the alt-right and their "JQ". Why do you hate him for debunking the alt-right?

The anti-semites on twitter have been shitposting nonstop since the shooting.

I don't approve of arguing or making fun of people online.

However it seems kinda silly to say that you can't do it to certain groups. If you can make fun of bronies or vegans or those Tide-pod eaters then why is it wrong to make fun of Judaism or Christianity or Conservatives or Liberals or Feminists or Islam or Atheism or Gamers or Fastwalkers?

Seems kinda far-right to say that no one is allowed to make fun of the group that you like. Because those that do are responsible for violence and suffering which they never did.

Be careful you don't become the thing that you hate.

"He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."

Just food for thought. Take a moment to consider why TC was so dishonest with the topic title. Why wasn't the reality enough that he had to distort it?

Oh wow and there goes Unfair lol

The alt right is like the youtube pranks in political form, "Just a joke!" until it's clearly not.

This is a good point.

Wow, that was more cancerous than the average YouTube comments section.

Yet you can't explain how or why

I wonder how long it'll take for him to recant this
---

What makes you think those are his fans? As opposed to some alt-righters or otherwise anti-semites that are responding to him?
---

He's right. JBP has always been a reasonable person. I'm not anti-semitic at all but I too have reflected on my own fault in this mess. Reflecting on the consequences of your actions is what strong, non-mentally ill people are capable of.

all of those replies talking about not shying away from mocking/criticising religion

what is critical or humourous about the ((( ))) stuff

"haha guys, jewish people control the world, hilarious!"

fucking weirdos
