My sister in law refused some vegan spring rolls my sister made for her after going all over the city to get the ingredients for at Christmas because "she could taste chicken", in spite of no chicken stock being used. Well that's my vegan story thanks for reading

Of course not, but in this case Peterson has been purposely avoiding doing it against someone anywhere near his level. Whether he's self-aware enough to realize he'd be out of his league against another psychologist (and his opinion is nowhere near the dominant one in academia at this point), or, hell, just about anyone who's not fresh out of HS is another question. It's pathetic either way.

It's pretty rare in Victoria for there not to be something, it's a really easy city to be vegan in so the vegans here tend to be pretty chill. Like an atheist in the bible belt is probably going to be really vocal and annoying about it vs one here where it's almost the assumed default so people don't have chips on their shoulders about it. Or that's my theory anyways. I think that to some degree explains the whole vibrantvictoria community thing, it's where all the libertarian/right in a very left wing government city have concentrated them selves in and developed this massive persecution complex.

Arivia posted:It's not uncommon for professors and their works to be a flashpoint for a cultural movement. Think of Andrea Dworkin or Kinsey, for example. What's different in Peterson's case is that he's whole-heartedly goosing it and using it for promotion, which is making him far more noticeable. (It's a lot different to read the Kinsey Report than attend Kinsey's speaking tour.) Oh I've no doubt he's milking the self-promotion, but is he doing any actual research into it, or is it just, "I don't want to be 'forced' to call a transgender man 'he', and telling me I shouldn't be a prick is repression!"?

I'm vegetarian but I have a vegan friend who came to dinner the other night. I found a great moussaka recipe that used a cream sauce made of soft tofu and pine nuts instead of dairy and while it took a bit of effort, it turned out really well and she and my other friend (who is a regular old meat eater) really enjoyed it and we had a good time catching up over all the wine they brought. The issue of who was/wasn't vegan or why anyone should or shouldn't eat meat didn't come up once because everyone there was a mature and reasonable adult and not an insufferable moron.

I'm not surprised. Every supposed "rational" defence of him that I've heard basically comes from someone who is ambivalent on civil rights but will raise hell (relatively) when a white man is threatened. Like PUA supporters who can't seem to not treat women as objects.

Why would he do any research into it when his point is about positive and negative rights, and specifically the difference between being prohibited from using certain terms versus being compelled to use certain terms (e.g. non-conforming pronouns). He could wholly embrace the idea of a gender spectrum and maintain his free speech argument without it being a contradiction. I also don't think there's any evidence he's declined or avoided debates with experts, which is to say nothing about the unlikelihood of that debate being able to take place in the present climate (with McMaster being a prime example). e. Like the only "it" he ought to be investigating, if he's concerned about the validity of his argument, is if compelling as opposed to restricting speech actually is a net detriment to society, or if his position is just the fearmongering of a Red Scaredy-cat Solzhenitsyn fanboy. unlimited shrimp fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Mar 20, 2017 |

I came across a widely viewed lecture by Peterson years ago called "Reality and the Sacred" and thought it was a pretty good pop intro to comparative mythology. It was really weird hearing the guys name coming up years later and learning he was suddenly a controversial figure. I would go as far as to say that I was initially prepared to be sympathetic to his arguments since there are certainly examples of academic leftism that are worthy of being lampooned. But everything I've read by Peterson makes him seem like a nutcase. Since I started looking into his arguments I've mostly seen him repeatedly invoked the idea of "cultural Marxism". Cultural Marxism, or cultural Bolshevism as it was once known, is literally a Nazi idea that argues that abstract art or any kind of academic criticism of traditional values and structures is a pernicious Jewish plot to destroy the cultural vitality of the nation. Jordan wants to maintain some degree of academic credibility so he's careful to do two things. First he couches his terms a bit more than usual, so in most interviews I've read he talks in a way that doesn't commit him to the belief that cultural Marxism is a vast conspiracy (though he heavily implies this): quote:Q: In a National Post op-ed you wrote that ‘words like zhe/zher are the vanguards of a radical left wing ideology that’s frighteningly similar to Marxism’. Can you elaborate? Ok, that's a reasonable position to debate. He's not wrong that you can identify some people in the academy for whom that's not entirely inaccurate definition, though it's bizarre that he would state that anyone who adheres to any variation of social constructionist theories is denying material reality. In other cases he'll hint at really crazy positions but conceal them in a fog of tangents. Here's an example from the same interview: quote:Q: Do you see any parallels between this issue and some of the other ‘social justice’ causes that have come up in the past few years, like Black Lives Matter or IdleNoMore? So he doesn't quite openly say that there's a grand conspiracy but he heavily implies it (after all, wars are fought by armies, if there's a cultural "war" going on then that suggests there are armies combating each other here, so presumably the forces he rails against are consciously working together rather than just happening to have been produced by the same cultural zeitgest or set of material conditions). Peterson seems to suggest any kind of grievance against the status quo isn't really caused by actual oppression but rather is caused by sinister academics brainwashing people into believing they are oppressed. But while Peterson presents his ideas in ways that are seemingly calculated to make them seem somewhat palatable to people who aren't already in the alt-right, he will then turn around and directly associate himself with and endorse people who go way further. https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/795687163367161857 Here's the article he's citing favorably: quote:Yet again an American city is being torn apart by black rioters. The images we see of the violence in Charlotte do not resemble the country we know. At the same time, high school footballers, cheerleaders and even American servicemen are following Colin Kaepernick’s lead by kneeling during the national anthem. Many Americans are baffled. This is literally just the Nazi theory that practically every trend in modern society that they didn't approve of was linked by a vast (Jewish) conspiracy theory designed to undermine the unity and purity of Aryan nations. It's even got the fascistic argument that talking about racism or sexism is bad because it hurts national unity. The other way Peterson disguises this is by constantly comparing his opponents to Nazis. Here he is jawing with Joe Rogan and his go-to example of where political correctness leads is the holocaust. He seems like a perfectly calculated entry point for recruiting people into the alt-right. And so far I'd say the reaction to him has played directly into his hands by giving him exactly the level of notoriety and attention he needed to really start promoting himself.

I think the national post and the rebel et al would give him the "attention and notoriety" they want him to have regardless of how anyone on the left decided to react to him if they even reacted at all. They'll manufacture shit_that_didnt_happen.txt if necessary and their audience will eat it right up.
