"Hey that's a racist thing to say": oppressive violation of the right to free speech, equivalent to concentration camps, actually worse because all Nazis want is a chance to be heard. Everyone in society agreeing to shun loose women, denying them jobs, housing, and the means to sustain themselves until they atone for their wanton behavior and dedicate themselves to domestic service at the feet of a man: peaceful implementation of vital social mores and disagreeing is prima facie proof of insanity.

RealTalk posted:And I don't concede that the conservatives and/or libertarians that I like are bigots by any reasonable definition of that term. But even if they were, I'd still argue that they'd be far better ethically than a war criminal like Hillary Clinton. While yes, Hillary Clinton is a bloodthirsty psychopath personally responsible for countless death, the idea that someone like Ann Coulter is "better ethically" only because she's never been in a position of power to actually implement her desire for an America-led worldwide jihad to massacre the infidel and convert everyone to Christianity by the sword is...extremely dubious. Just because a person in power is responsible for tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths doesn't mean that a person openly calling for hundreds of millions of deaths is "better, ethically" solely because they haven't been able to accomplish their poo poo-smearingly insane genocidal fantasies.

Aw, I missed all the fun! That's at least a 98% jrod match, just reading what he wrote, with a few standout lines. RealTalk posted:It's a little ironic that you use these arguments against me. If you truly believe that the first amendment implies both freedom of association and disassociation, then you logically have to oppose all anti-discrimination laws. After all, property owners have the right to choose who they want to associate with and who they want to disassociate with.  also please bring back jrodbot wrenP

It's interesting that he doesn't agree with the Civil Rights Act but also thinks you should be compelled to pay thousands of dollars to any Tom, Dick, or Adolf who wants to make money on the grifting circuit as a paid speaker. Like he wants a bizarro-civil-rights act wherein the only legal reason to refuse to hire someone is if they are black or a woman or gay.  "Sorry, I won't pay Ann Coulter to do a job because she's a warmongering theocrat who masturbates to a fascist USA cleansing the world of infidels". "omg you're worse than Hitler what about free speech" "Oh okay, then it's...uh...because she's a woman" "And that's your god-given right and I will defend to the death your freedom to do it, God bless you patriot  "

Caros posted:I agree, I don't think libertarians are fascists. If you go read my posts in this thread I think the two are largely incompatible, but that there does end up being a weird pipeline where people start libertarian and end up fascist after twisting themselves into absurd knots. The difference is that I think libertarianism in and of itself is also a horrific ideology that basically extolls the absolute worst of capitalism into an ideological framework that reduces human beings down into transactional relationships that is both fundamentally unworkable and utterly horrific. Libertarianism sucks rear end in an entirely distinct way from fascists, its just that lovely people tend to get drawn to either belief and it is easy for one to roll into the other, particularly when libertarianism overlaps so disgustingly with the modern right wing. Why is this? I’ve seen It happen to friends and people I know. They start talking about Ron Paul and vote for him in 08 and 12 then they end up talking about how the left needs to be controlled and whatnot

im permabanned poster statestomper58. i first started reading jordan peterson when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "hierarchies" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "clean your room" and "the lobster nervous system runs on serotonin" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "self-help" style of peterson's writing was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" jordan peterson to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Also because I didn't make this clear in spite of noting all those guys were way smarter than Peterson I would totally impugn their honor. For one thing they inspired a waste of skin to start running at the mouth about similarities between aquatic cockroaches and humans, how girls are icky, and white pride worldwide.

That last paragraph is pretty funny, because you can construct all kinds of different mathematics depending on your initial choice of axioms, which have exactly zero predictive power for the real world.botany posted:alright that is legit making me angry irl holy gently caress Turns out when you invent a philosophy that says if reality disagrees with what you want to believe, it must be that reality is wrong, you go to some pretty weird places! As a dumbass teen I got into Ayn Rand but I was also really into science, so getting into her nonfiction essays and seeing how she rejected all of modern physics without understanding anything about it was like "huh what happened to being rational"

A few days ago I asked my therapist if he'd heard of Jordan Peterson, and he hadn't, and as soon as I mentioned that Peterson was a Jungian psychologist, a look of disgust and remorse came over his face and he said "Oh dear, I'm so sorry." and he just sat there looking sad and apologetic.
