    I watched a couple of the Youtube clips that brought him notarity. Cliffs:

    Peterson: You cannot ignore biological differences between sexes when you discuss gender.

    Other person: Gender is not defined by biology and is not synonymous with sex, and you are an asshole and a bigot if you don't call people what they want to be called.

    Peterson: You are a pinko Communist bastard if you want to control what words I HAVE to use when describing someone.

    Other person: Herp.

    Peterson: Derp.

    he hides what hes doing in that he posts like multi hour youtube videos, but its very apparent hes smearing a veneer of intellectualism over alt-right ideals

    while trying to sell you self help guides and books, the grift these guys use is impressive. is he selling BRAIN FUEL SUPPLEMENTS yet?

    I'm sure identity politics can be defined in different ways. If Larry Elder was talking about identity politics then he was probably discussing race, gender, sexual orientation etc.

    I think his main point is that you should call people by their preferred gender pronoun because you're a respectable human being, not because the government forces you to do it.

    That makes sense. I’ve heard him cite Elder and Sowell frequently on his podcast.

    Peterson couldn’t be less Alt-Right, perhaps his most central message is discouraging tribalism.

    Young people caught up in extremist movements are drawn to and captivitated by him because they’re often those lost searching for purpose and self-worth, easily manipulated and used as pawns in movements they don’t fully realize. His message easily resonates with those types and opens their eyes to a better path.

    His book is not political in the least, it’s about growing as a person and finding independence.

    Possibly, but I think it’s more rooted in an opposition to government enforced, compelled speech.

    That's what I'm saying, he thinks you should be respectful because your parents and society raised you to be respectful. Not because the government mandated what language you are required by law to use.

    And I don't disagree with that point. It's once the conversation devolves into the differences in the genders vs. sex that Peterson and his "opponent" both devolve into your stereotypical political snowflakes.

    Or you can just find out for yourself?

    Look, we both know you're just going to side with your "team", so why don't you drop the whole "I'm trying to have conversation" bit. You're not open any new or different ideas that aren't served to you by people you desperately want to be friends with... look it up yourself or don't. I know exactly what you think and never have to read a post by you, just the people whose farts you're sniffing.

    Do you agree that we have to use these new words that have been made up? (Ze and Zir) If a trans woman wishes to be addressed as she, it's extremely disrespectful not to so I definitely agree with you there.

    I agree with all the bold, but ignoring the ideological similarities to the far right end of western civilization types I disagree with. He clearly discourages tribalism to defend people he thinks he's similar to but bangs the drum for it against things he disagrees with. Much like everyone who whines about PC culture or tribalism, its a way to argue against something without actually having to argue against it.

    The Majority Report had a guy on discussing him yesterday. Basically he refuses to be nailed down into any specific position, and, like others have said, he has a very roundabout way of discussing everything like a pseudo-intellectual.

    If we are talking about the pronoun debate, it really is a false dilemma if you think about it. In ordinary speech, when I am talking TO someone, I never use a pronoun, since it would be tantamount to speaking to someone in the third person, i.e. as if they are not there. When I am talking to someone, I just call them by their name, and the only way I know their name, is by them telling me the name. The only time you would utilize these pronouns like ze and zir is if you were talking about someone who was not present. And personally, I would judge the level of "respect" I show someone by analyzing WHAT I was saying about them rather than the pronoun I use. For example, "You know that transgendered person Terry. Ze is a complete piece of shit who is stain on humanity" does not show anywhere near the respect as saying "He is an incredibly brave person for publicly embracing his gender identity and speaking out for others."

    I guess if people want to be offended, they will find a way..........

    Honestly I don't understand the whole spectrum thing in any way. I also think if you're constantly shifting your pronoun then you are setting yourself up to be offended by people.

    My favorite part about him is how badly the left wants him to be a member of this fucktard internet movement they call the alt right. Everyone is desperate to put the other side in a neat little box that they can hate. He’s been called a nazi, a fascist, an authoritarian etc. It’s just a continuation of idiocracy. And I’m fully aware the way the other side uses Marxist, communist, socialist, etc. They’re the simple definitions that stupid people need in order to feel safe about the group identity they have latched onto.

    However much you want to dismiss it, that “fuckwad internet movement” literally murdered someone at a white supremacy rally, and has been responsible for the convening and spreading of a message that has driven many other acts.

    You haven't addressed any of the reasons people link him there, he shares rhetorical styling and ideology with them. They champion him, he defends them while attacking the people who they also view as the enemy.

    Your response was to someone who blamed an internet movement for the murder of a guy.

    While you literally cheered on a person who tried to murder a congressman.

    Definitely. Did you have any suggestions on why that phenomenon was specific to black males and not black females or other minorities regardless of their sex? Or any solutions to combat it?

    Seems like you just posted a tweet about the article as a gotcha to liberals who prefer to focus on class, then went on to not discuss a single part of the main topic of the article.

    Specifically I thought the part where they discuss the My Brother's Keeper program was awesome.
