She doesn’t give him any compliments. Isn’t it objectively true that it’s better for scum nerds to end up as mere conservatives rather than as violent nazis? Conservatives aren’t good, but democracy has survived with people like Peterson whereas it can’t with actual nazis, and it’s bad for the nazis if Peterson takes away their converts. That doesn’t mean that Peterson is good.

Peterson is selling kids the cultural Bolshevism poo poo the Nazis started under a sanitized self-help package. It's not a stretch to guess that most of these clean room boys are going to wind up being fascists. I don't understand why you guys got out of your way to defend Nagle's dumb poo poo.

Peterson would've been considered "alt-right" about five years ago when alt-right was still a catchall term for every reactionary ideology gestating on the internet. He's a thoroughly reactionary figure in ways that are contrary even to contemporary conservatism, but to get to that reactionary core you have to penetrate the surface layer of his trite Dadist domestic ideology. The surface level reading of Peterson is that he's just trying to advocate for why being a suburban dad is the best of all possible worlds.

He's what this thread describes as "alt-liberal". Same bigotries and cultural supremacy, but with a few extra coats of academic varnish

Peterson is certainly the "I'm a classical liberal whom loves freedom, but should women really be allowed to wear makeup?" kind of guy. They dance around legalistic forms of dominance by creating an environment where everything is informally enforced through social convention, and it always starts as "just trying to start a conversation."

As was mentioned in that twitter thread a few days ago about how downtrodden people are lured into the alt-right, Peterson's content is used as sort of a first step on the path towards redpilling someone. He may say he hates the alt-right, but with his willingness to engage with alt-right/lite figures and his espousing of similar ideas (cultural Marxists are trying to undermine western civilization, :biotruths:, white privilege is a lie), I wouldn't call him a Nazi but I'm not sure I'd call him "merely" a conservative either.

I would argue that Jordan Peterson a snake-oil salesman who has figured out how to appeal to individuals who are either low-Compaction Narrativists or are in a psychologically vulnerable state to becoming Narrativists. As a result Jordan Peterson's fanbase has a real problem with Compaction cycles- enough so that a moderator of the JP subreddit recognized what was happening in his community after reading a description of Compaction cycles enough to reach out to me and ask if there was a way he could slow/prevent future cycles.

Jordan Peterson seems intent on sticking to this particular grift and as a result he (correctly) sees the Alt-Right as competitors for the same customer base. I would argue that Jordan Peterson's shelf life is limited however because the sheer size of his fanbase accelerates the general pace of Compaction cycles, and eventually JP will simply not be radical enough to attract a sizeable base anymore. Eventually his audience will radicalize beyond him and simply move on.

the thing about peterson that stands out to me is that he seems to encourage political disengagement with the world. "clean your room." retreat inwards and focus on the internal world of the family and of middle-class life. it's very beidermeier and very conservative, since depoliticized and apolitical middle-class dads are usually, in fact, ultra-conservatives.

Yeah, being "apolitical" just means that your political beliefs are so entrenched into the existing power structures that you can just assume them to be universal facts.

E: Alternatively, to be so objectified that the very idea of opposing or changing those structures becomes unthinkable.

there's this line of attack against jordan peterson that is opposed to him because he is a gateway to the alt-right. i don't know how accurate that is.

I think it's easy to see Peterson as a gateway because his fans are appropriating so much of CHUD terminology. I've seen half a dozen videos in my youtube recommendations that are just clips of the Russel Brand interview framed as "Jordan B. Peterson Red Pills Russel Brand."

Any conservative is always a gateway to the far right because they basically believe the same thing, but people like Peterson have always been around and he at least seems to encourage loser children to buy into and participate in liberal democracy v tearing it down. That is a practical difference between him and even someone like Milo who was selectively goosing conservatives with their own vocabulary with the purpose of making them comfortable with being nazis.

Kinda reminds me of Dreher with his Benedict Option thing. As a matter of fact, there's this schism in the far-right between "retreating from the world and preserving their culture and communities" or engaging in politics in order to win. IIRC one of those reactionary mags like Thermidor or Jacobite got mad at Dreher for suggesting they should just give terrain to social liberalism without much of a fight.

By the way, I've looked at Peterson's twitter timeline once and one of the things that caught my attention is that he retweeted that Wrath Of Gnon guy. He's another reactionary who thinks the world is lost and that they should survive and conquer the ruins after its destruction, the whole "ride the Kali Yuga" idea.

Ah interesting. Yeah I ran into an (obscure) term for this called apoliteic used in the context of neo-folk music like Death in June. Like the reason it sounds gloomy and depressed is not just because they want to sound spooky and goth, but because it reflects an inward-looking tendency on the extreme right:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_S8bPXK8ao

And goths dig it because it sounds goth and cool and poo poo, and get defensive when the political connotations are brought up. But it is what it is.
Better crank up the Death in June, folks!

Actually it seems to pan out. This Guardian article from early December 2017 Google was in the process of hiring and training 10,000 content moderators in conjunction with refining machine learning algorithm's to (to flag content for review by said moderators) with the expres purpose of coming down on youtube content like a ton of bricks.

The Guardian posted:


Google is hiring thousands of new moderators after facing widespread criticism for allowing child abuse videos and other violent and offensive content to flourish on YouTube.

YouTube’s owner announced on Monday that next year it would expand its total workforce to more than 10,000 people responsible for reviewing content that could violate its policies. The news from YouTube’s CEO, Susan Wojcicki, followed a steady stream of negative press surrounding the site’s role in spreading harassing videos, misinformation, hate speech and content that is harmful to children.

Wojcicki said that in addition to an increase in human moderators, YouTube is continuing to develop advanced machine-learning technology to automatically flag problematic content for removal. The company said its new efforts to protect children from dangerous and abusive content and block hate speech on the site were modeled after the company’s ongoing work to fight violent extremist content.

“Human reviewers remain essential to both removing content and training machine learning systems because human judgment is critical to making contextualized decisions on content,” the CEO wrote in a blogpost, saying that moderators have manually reviewed nearly 2m videos for violent extremist content since June, helping train machine-learning systems to identify similar footage in the future.

So it seems that Google has figured out that the SA way of doing things is ultimately the only viable method to prevent a large online community from becoming incredibly toxic. That is equal parts surprising and encouraging. I mean even if Google is ultimately doing the right thing for the wrong reasons here, its still very much the right thing to do and will be of immense benefit to the mental health of America's children.
