Allowing normies to access the internet was a catastrophic mistake. If we had properly bullied these idiots off of the internet back in the late 2000s like we should have, we would not be in the mess we are right now.

I call for more trolling, more shitposting and a campaign to drive the normies from the internet. Make it so toxic and unwelcoming to them and their worldview that they no longer desire to engage with it. Maybe the solution is more AI bots on every platform, but trained using the worst corners of 4chan.

The regime is run by people that still aren't bullied enough. Yoel Roth describing how twatter jannies were traumatized by the Stop the Steal rally demonstrated that that he and his former staff need to regularly get swirly'd and stuffed in lockers.

It's funny that Peterson, who only woke up to the whole online communication thing maybe 10 years ago, thinks he knows better than the people who have been doing this since the beginning.

He's doing what all the SJWs do; invade a space and then try to change all the rules to his liking under the guise of morality.

Veru disappointing.

Unfortunately there was too much money to be made from the Internet for that to be a possibility, the normie invasion was an inevitability.

What we should of focused on was gatekeeping to keep them put of our spaces and have the normies stuck in the normie spaces.

Jordan Peterson is making it harder and harder to defend him.

Don't get me wrong, I think some of his self help stuff was pretty helpful for many people, so he probably is still a net positive...but it's getting harder and harder to stand his terrible takes and his pseudointellectual word salad nonsense.

"anonymous cowardly troll demons" and "sadistic Machiavellian psychopaths and narcissists"...I mean, really?

Jordan Peterson is an idiot, but an idiot who was in the right place at the right time, and who helped a lot of people by doing the very bare minimum and being a male role model...not even a perfect one, but one who at least existed.

So, yeah, I'm not on the JBP hate train like a lot of people but, damn, he's wrong on a lot of stuff. And the fact that he's helped a lot of people really says more about the state of our current society than it does about him.

– Sneak_King 23 points 3 years ago +23 / -0

Thankfully, he doesn't need to be defended, and I say that as someone who is more pro-JBP than most here.

Just take his good ideas and pass them along. Shit, take credit for them if you want. JBP certainly doesn't have a monopoly on observing the world. I hope he comes around again, but I've metaphorically met too many heroes in the last decade to waste any time hanging around to find out.

Agreed. He's still got a lot of good stuff about psychology and the bible, and he's got a lot of interesting interviews, but everything he says on twitter seems to be retarded.

I've always disliked his random clout outside of what he actually earned but I also see his point. I just heavily disagree with it. It it was some government sanctioned forum for official political discussion then sure have real names but that's not what Twitter is and it's international as well

Just remember this applies to almost all snake oil salesmen, evangelists, and fake tv "doctors" like Dr Phil. People just think those are bad because they didn't help them personally, and it looks cringe or exploitative because of that. The same way "clean your room/penis" looks to people who Peterson isn't helpful towards.

Placebo effect means basically any form of self help that isn't actively exploiting you will help, probably immensely.

Honestly, either is what you are saying and he is less smart then people give him credit or he is receiving money to "de-radicalize". Since he has returned to the public eye, I had a feeling that his medical bills are huge and he may strike such a deal.

Peterson has the smell of Tavistock on him. He and Timothy Leary both created a small cult following at Harvard. Leary prevented the radical left from being a threat to the regime, and Peterson has been similarly screwing with the K-lines of the right.

High profile to you isn't high profile to everyone. Let's have a little reality check, very few people outside of our little community ever hear about regular people getting canceled and are only vaguely aware of people like Dankula, Peterson included.

Even if they are, people like Tim Pool and Peterson believe that you should have to face getting canceled rather than be anonymous because, again, they survived it so you should be able to too. They can't seem to understand that they are flukes, outliers with more talent than the average normie.

It's a bad take, but they didn't come to it because they're dumb and we're smart, we're just more realistic than they are.

Eh, I agree there, even if there are greater consequences for regular people. I won't work a job that I don't feel ethical doing and I say what I like.

The problem with online discourse is that anyone can take anything you say, strip the context, and make it mean whatever they like. That's not even mentioning a case where you find yourself wrong about something and change your mind later. And employers often care more about internet drama than hiring qualified workers (not to mention government "hate" laws).

If we want to have true discourse, we should be annonymous, so that we can explore uncomfortable ideas without them being held against us. I wish we were civilized enough that people understood this but I doubt we ever will be.

The only reason you need to see who you are discussing something with is if you intend to use your clout against them irl.

This is the view of someone who thinks everything revolves around him. Anonymous people are rude to him online, so "mandated speech" (opposition to which first made him famous) and other limits on expression around the world suddenly stop existing. People have had knocks on their door for far less offensive things than calling someone a "sadistic Machiavellian psychopath" - in the UK recently it was "muppet" (offline), in Germany it was "dick". It doesn't even have to be a direct insult. Satire can get you unwanted attention too. Even criticism.

If he believes what he said, then he is a sadistic Machiavellian psychopathic narcissist.

Do you need to be verified to vote in polls? Not saying I agree with JBP but that seems like an obvious one they should have.

If you DONT need verification to vote, this is like telling people to vote harder to solve election fraud.

As for Youtube I haven't noticed a relatively high amount of harassment or trolling vs. regular comments. Their mods police comments heavily. Shadowbanning is the norm there. What the hell is he even talking about? Is he mad someone criticized him?

He's right purely in the sense that communists shouldn't be allowed to have anonymous accounts (or accounts anywhere for that matter), and it's understandable that somebody who is constantly tormented by deranged, psychotic communists would want to take that away from them, but pushing for something like this wouldn't accomplish that.

"intellectuals" like Jordan Peterson don't have to worry about anonymity because they're not true rebels against the current Status Quo, in fact, Jordan Peterson, in one of his podcasts with Joe Rogan, openly stated that his most of his work is to keep common people from rebelling from the status quo, or as he stated, politically shifting to the right.
