Is Jordan Peterson worth anything? Seems like every white male between 20 and 30 years old around me watches him religiously.

edit: I'll add: this trend of intellectual/"debate" videos is goddamn awful. What happened to writing about your ideas? Why do I have to sit through 45 minutes of mouth breathing when I could just read a writeup of what you say in 10x less time?

Agreed. If these speakers were actually good orators or used the audio/visual medium to its advantage, it'd be one thing. But they don't.

Also I think actual writing would force them to organize their thoughts better instead of hiding under the veneer of casual speech.

This is extremely evidenced in the debate between Sargon and Kristi Winters; put them on the same playing field as actual academics and the facade crumbles.

Yaay, my roommates moved over from Jordan Peterson to Sargon :smith: Evenings here in the living room have turned into alt-right circlejerks. Moving out in a month...!

So it's been taken because trolls reported it too much? Either way, kind of ironic.

i like some of them as humans even though they have done stupid poo poo that hurt me, and i don't think they're all evil bigots. esp not chris. he's honestly the sweetest human and it pains me that people blindly cling to gossip about him that is FALSE (google it) or lose their mind bc his language isn't PC enough. some critiques involve the argument that this is "harmful", but i disagree with the notion of speech as harm unless it incites violence.

Quick reminder that there is absolutely no way that you can save the future if you can't save yourself
Sort yourself out:

Stop Watching porn
Stop Beating meat
Go outside in nature more
Become physically healthy
Stop your internet/tv/vidya addiction, cut them out completely for a time if necessary
Read more books and get educated on the task at hand, read philosophy
Focus on your job and work on becoming a more productive member of society
Find a trad white woman to make huwhite babies with, breed a nice traditional family.

Remember, we must sort ourselves out first before we can sort out the world.

If something has ever inspired me to get buff and read philosophy, it's the dream of sticking it in those goony white supremacist's faces.

This is absolutely incredible. Out of curiosity I listened to their first "debate", it's a bit more diluted but it's almost as unhinged.

i recommend seeing this through to the end just to see the completely hosed up world view of a sociopath fall to pieces

yuck

Not at the end yet, but this guy seems mostly young, misguided, ignorant and sad. Which is no excuse for spouting hateful bullshit, but really makes me wonder what the proportion of people who fall into right wing crap because of being ignorant rather than truly hateful. I feel mostly compassion for the former, but I kinda feel like maybe he's coming from a good place and can be saved?

Basically all of them who enter the community through something like 4chan or social media. That's why it's so easy to redpill them- they are usually stupid as hell youngins with pent up sexual frustration. From redpill misogyny there's only a few stepping stones to full on recitation of the 14 words.

Yeah, I'm at the birth control part now and this is much less funny than it was at the start. It makes me shudder how he just defaulted to calling poor women who accidentally become pregnant "stupid bitches".

edit : The "life's not fair!" thing is just so aggravating.

jesus. what a loving moron and rear end in a top hat. why is he defending these assholes so much. and on your edit. of course he thinks that, he has a broken view of masculinity.

Every time I try watching Sargon I'm disgusted and have to turn it off 15 seconds in. Clearly I'm the intolerant one here
