    But that’s a game he’s playing. He’s popular because he attacks the left. He returns to admonish the right for behaving similarly, but that isn’t what drives his cultural relevance.

    And again, you diminish the import of what it is to refer to a quest for justice for oppressed groups that suffer explicitly because of the identity labels attached to them as harmful “identity politics”. The harm is caused by those that have used their identity label to diminish them as people - not by those that are seeking redress for those wrongs.

    I see the leftists still prefer ad hominems to ideas. Shocker.

    Add “ad hominem” to the looooong list of things DBD doesn’t understand.

    Again, try having an idea and expressing that idea cogently. I realize this is incredibly difficult for you, but I believe you can do it if you try. Start small and build from that.

    The term "alt right" has been weaponized by "progressives" as an ad hominem. When you encounter anyone whose ideas you cannot refute, you label them "alt right" in order to save you the trouble of actually thinking.

    Labeling Jordan Peterson "alt right" is laughable and should embarrass those who attempt it but alas, such is the state of discourse in our republic. I'm sure you guys think Sam Harris is "alt right" too.

    The trouble for you know-nothings is people are tired of your games. They are coming to realize - en masse - the paucity of your ideas. The future of "progressivism" in this country is bleak because a) you have few ideas and b) the ones you do have are already sitting squarely in the dustbin of history.

    Enjoy your night fuckos. Find some time to work on that online graduate degree from Evergreen College.

    People aren’t calling Jordan Peterson alt-right. They are saying he plays into their fears of a (comparatively) diminished role for white men in a future America in order to make himself some money.

    Please tell me - using specifics - how I misused “ad hominem” or the phrase “a distinction without a difference”. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

    You responded to a substantive discussion of issues by calling it ad hominem. If you don’t understand why that’s just wrong, you need to look up the definition of ad hominem.

    You also responded to my post clearly differentiating a grifter from his griftees as a distinction without a difference - illustrating the fact that you also don’t understand that phrase.

    p.s. - using more ad hominems against JP won’t help your cause here. You twats aren’t capable of a substantive discussion.

    The left-wing circle jerk that is TMB is the best example of Dunning-Kruger I can think of. You guys literally know nothing. It’s embarrassing how moronic your thought patterns are. Since you are all - to a man - incapable of discussing ideas you throw a bunch of word salads and ad hominems against the wall and wait to see if anything sticks. If I had to describe this pathetic display in one word it would be “infantile”.

    Could you be anymore out of touch? I’m happy to have a substantive discussion anytime you wish fucko. Unfortunately that has never been of interest to the “progressives” on TMB or anywhere else for that matter.

    If you think that my original post in this thread was meant to be an overarching statement on your "substantive" discussion of JP than you're even more dull than I previously suspected. If you think I read this entire thread then I'm literally LOL at you. If you think I give two fucks what you think about JP than you're clearly not paying attention. I cannot be blamed for what you inferred - erroneously and without justification - from my comment. Using your inferences to divine my meaning and then accusing me of using a term incorrectly would be embarrassing if you possessed even a shred of self-awareness.

    I was referring specifically to the several posts I saw labeling JP as "alt right" or as someone who provides aid and comfort to the "alt right". This is both an "ad hominem" and a "distinction without a difference".

    Thanks for playing.

    JP is a serious thinker with serious ideas - most of which sail right over your collective heads. I do not need to read this entire thread to know that no "substantive discussion" has been had and the fact that you twats hate JP is all I need to prove his bonafides.

    Now carry on.

    Listening to Sam Harris and JP debate the utility of religion is fascinating stuff. But you can't get there when you're obsessed with policing the leftist orthodoxy and labeling everyone who challenges it as "alt right" - which is a "progressive" euphemism for Nazi.

    I went back and read through the thread just for shits and giggles - as usual, the TMB lefties betray their mendacity early and often as the immediately start calling JP "alt right", a "grifter", a "fascist", etc...they do this because they have no argument. None. They either don't understand JP's positions or they haven't bothered to try. The only substance in this thread was proffered by those right of center. Which is of course how these things usually go.

    As usual, those on the left demonstrate their perverse preoccupation with Satanist perspectives. Of course a titanic intellect such as Jordan Peterson requires great lengths of time, even years, to arrive at conclusions. This is the price of maintaining patterns of thought vastly more intricate and wholistic than your own. If those on the left even begun to endeavor to be honest in their thinking you would hastily abandon your childish notions and personal attacks, and gain entry to the realm of thinkers that only the likes of Jordan Peterson and myself occupy. But of course, none of you are capable of that, and you will remain, as you have always been, loathsome bits of ignorant excrement. Truly, I would pity your kind if you didn't espouse the most dangerous sort of violent and ill-conceived rhetoric I've ever heard.

    He’s talking about archetypes and morality tales from aniquity forward. Taking things entirely out of context is great fun, huh?

    Listen to “Meaning and Chaos” - his podcast with Sam Harris - if you want to actually know what he’s talking about. Since most of you don’t actually want to know you don’t need to listen to it.

    Dumb fucks.
