What Jordan Peterson says

He's pretty irrelevant, just a guy making money really.

Yeah, I think I saw it on the h3h3 one – I'm glad that he's reinforcing this belief in multiple public appearances, although yet still his critics will ignore those moments of certainty and instead try to score points by finding out the stupidest ways to misinterpret other, vaguer things that he's said.

I only exposed myself to Peterson's work recently, after about a year of assuming that he was the kind of far-right pseudo-intellectual rabble rouser that he gets painted as frequently. I get the feeling that certain people are very scared of his views, and are using the most dishonest smear tactics possible to make rational people avoid him before they've heard him speak. The fact that it seems to be working is kind of terrifying.

Yep, they continue to try to paint him as alt right, etc.

Almost like they are some sort of leftist cult.

Anyone left of Mao these days is basically Eva Braun's boyfriend.

That may be hyperbole, but it is slowly heading that way.

Who exactly is "trying to paint" Peterson as a Nazi? I keep hearing the claim, but no support. Thanks in advance.

They're very smart about it. A lot of the links on Google have headlines such as "Jordan Peterson: What You Need to Know About the Alt-Right..." and then when you click on it, the article doesn't contain any continuation to that headline (that one is an easily findable Daily Dot 'article'😉

Very clever article that implies Peterson is a Nazi whilst not outright calling him a Nazi

Random blog calling him a Nazi – shows the idea is out there

Peterson is an 'alt-right hero' – alt-right is a synonym for Neo-Nazi, btw.

"Shepherd, who at the time disagreed with Peterson, argued in favor of the free exchange of ideas. Rambukkana, who oversaw her class but had, according to her lawsuit, heretofore “barely acknowledged her existence,” countered that showing Peterson’s remarks without condemning them was “like neutrally playing a speech by Hitler,”"

Plus the constant attempts to smear him, such as the one this thread is based on: trying to make him seem in any way that they can that he holds crazy fascist views such as "force women to marry incels" or whatever.

It's insidious and subtle; I believed him to be alt-right / fascist for a whole year without doing any research, and I don't even know why, that was just the narrative that I was fed, so like an idiot I went along with it in fear of being 'indoctrinated' into the alt-right or some other shit.

The only site there I've heard about is Slate, I get a 404 when clicking it and I'm pretty sure Peterson's views, at least some, are indeed popular with the Alt-Right. So unless the story is labeling him one as well, they're not wrong in that single claim.

They don't call him a nazi. They call him alt right which is just like calling him a nazi essentially lol.

Even NBC labeled him alt right. Flat out said it. So yeah, people are trying to paint him that way.

"An alt right intellectual" is what NBC news called him, to be specific.

And at the end of the day, he's been protested at universities and had discussions shut down by radicalised far-left students, much like other moderates such as Dave Rubin or slightly less moderates such as Ben Shapiro. These people, and whatever ****ed agenda it is that they're enthralled by, clearly see him as a threat.

Says "Canadian Author Finds Fame as Alt-Right Intellectual" in the blue and white caption.

Again, the Alt-Right loves Peterson, so it seems like they're saying he's a champion to them, which isn't wrong. Peterson himself has said the Alt-Right is part of his fan-base, he just questions to what extent that goes.

Lol wow. Did you type this with a straight face?

Do you think that's a proper retort?
