Jordan Peterson šŸ vs CH4

Dr Peterson is playing a good few gigs (are they gigs?) in the UK too lads in case tickets get snapped up fast. There appears to be savage interest out there

That distinction is already recognised.

Why does Peterson not just address people according to their preferred pronoun, instead of acting like a giant manbaby?

Thatā€™s not how language works, mate. You canā€™t dictate to people on how or on what they should speakā€¦ Certainly not on a individual by individual basisā€¦ That would be very stupid and authoritarian.

I donā€™t follow Tony Robbins, the Netflix documentary was quite good but whatevs.

Supposedly though heā€™s been acting an awful cunt during this pandemic. Dismissive of the approved vaccines and investing in his own company that makes its own vaccine and then plugging that. Thatā€™s what I read anyway.

From what post should I start reading? I hear this is the place to be.

When it amounts to hate speech, which is essentially what it is, its entirely appropriate to tell people what language they can and canā€™t use.

We have laws that classify behaviour, such as a certain type of speech, as bullying or sexual harrassment.

All this comes back to the definition of what freedom is.

There is no such thing as absolute freedom. Absolute freedom is a contradiction. The right-wing libertarian view of freedom is child like.

They believe there is such a thing as absolute freedom. But the ideology of absolute freedom is the ideology of tyranny. It cannot work. Itā€™s the bullyā€™s charter.

The ideology of Peterson and of libertarianism fundamentally misunderstands human nature. And thatā€™s just the dumb true believers in it, of which there are very few.

In reality what so called libertarianism is is a knowing cloak for tyranny.

It glorifies power and inherited privilege, which is the only thing that can win when so called libertarianism is left to run riot.

You are stone mad. Libertarians, whether left or right leaning, just want to be left the fuck alone.

US so called libertarianism is an attempt to put some sort of academic veneer on tyranny.

If people are ā€œleft the fuck aloneā€ to bully and ram home the advantages of inherited power and privilege, they will do so.

And thatā€™s what itā€™s all about.

@tank whatā€™s going on here, I have a lot of the regular posters on this thread ignored so itā€™s hard to follow whatā€™s going on. Did malarkey actually post up pictures of a woman he rode and if so why? What else is going on?

Yeah it was just a normal day, Malarkey was boasting about how he turned down offers from the Ivy League colleges, then said he rid a load of Ivy League birds anyway and threw up a profile pic of a sexy MILF that he said he banged back in the day.

Quick google image search and sheā€™s a writer from Canada with 2 novels out. He was convinced to take the picture down.

The rest is just standard Sid v Labane.

Roughly 7% of Americans are libertarian, quite the tyranny.

I never mentioned anything about absolute freedoms, thatā€™s you going off on one and straying from the point. Living in a society means we all give up freedoms, we donā€™t get to dictate on how we as individuals would like to live or how we want others to speakā€¦ So yes, youā€™re right, there are no absolute freedoms.

You didnā€™t because you mendaciously refuse to place the issue in its proper context.

Mr. Peterson is the person intent on dictating here.

He is the bully. Because he believes the bullyā€™s right to bully is far more important than than the right of the victims of bullying not to be bullied.

Thatā€™s what he essentially believes, as does US so called libertarianism.

You support the bullies that tried to kill Kyle Rittenhouse. Because he was a little 5-5 kid that they thought they could overwhelm. They were wrong.

Kyle Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-15, was a live and present threat to life, and created the situation himself. How is it bullying to want to disarm a live and present threat?

Your ideology is that ā€œa good guy with a gunā€ will always stop a bad guy with a gun. But if they are unarmed, suddenly they become the bad guy?

How does that work?

Maybe they should have just shot Rittenhouse for their own self defence. Certainly given how the situation worked out, and faced with a split second decision, thatā€™s what they should have done. They should have shot him.

The entirety of the Republican party and its associated bullshit disinformation industrial complex operates according to the failed ideology of US so called libertarianism, ie. the bullyā€™s charter.

Posting a picture of a woman youā€™ve rode is a new departure for the forum, I think. Possibly kev did before.

He wasnā€™t threatening anyone, the evidence showed he spent the night attending to injured protesters. There were hundreds of armed people on the streets, including several that chased him. The only reason they targeted him was he was a kid and they thought they could overwhelm him. Why didnā€™t they chase the militia members who were on the streets? Because they were bullies and picked on the little fat kid.

Thatā€™s before getting to the point that the first to chase him was a psychopathic child rapist. A strange side to find yourself on, even for you.
