My opinion of Jordan Peterson has gone down.

@firefall He is right but his decision to leave makes it marginally better.

@Human1000 He's not at all typical of what you would think. He's highly sociable and a bit of a womaniser. He's also highly educated and articulate. He is a contrarian and at least some of this comes as a reaction against social liberalism in London

One of the problems is that he takes at face value arguments that come from the right (ordinary people against the woke elite, crt gender critical feminists denied free speech) and doesn't see the agenda behind it. Peterson is key because he really did and does see this Canadian as both a centrist and an intellectual. My friend still sees himself as a liberal as defined against the 'radical left' he sees elsewhere in London.

London is so culturally liberal that it is possible to see it as post racist. So political alienation from 'woke' culture has something to do with it.

Other right-wing people I've met do fit the mould of angry outsider. I think that archetype is true but not in this case.

@Burnley123 I would find losing a friend to that framed thinking very distressing, sorry you experienced it

@Burnley123 I understand. Whatever criticisms there may be about “woke” culture, Peterson or other more obvious right wingers will inevitably lead one to wrong conclusions about those issues.

@deadgerbil Indeed. He reduced himself to this. Frauden Peterson.

@Burnley123 on the bright side, we have buddick, dippyjoe, Horace, and sporter on here to fill the intellectual void left by Peterson's fall from grace

@deadgerbil It almost feels like an insult to them

@RylanTheHusker Enough of your sexual fantasies. This is a political debate.

@Burnley123 fair enough.

@Burnley123 wait, politics isnt a sexual fantasy ? 😂

@thewindupbirdchronicles Seemed pretty balanced to me.

@Human1000 in a world self serving. I was done at the moment he started with smirking.

@thewindupbirdchronicles um ok. Thanks for sharing.

@LordShadowfire [quote]ou'd think he'd know better.[/quote]

I don't know why. I want the right to have one decent intellectual. One. It would seem to balance the world somehow,

@BetweenKittensandRiots The paranoa is epic.

The woke Stasi go around telling Jordan Peterson he has to get hard looking at a plus-sized model and ban him from wanking Kendall Jenner. Because post-modern neo-marxism. 😂😂😂
