Jordan Peterson launches anti-censorship site Thinkspot

[downnola]

Nothing says anti-censorship like an upvote/downvote system. Doesn't promote groupthink at all!

[Milchshake]

The kind of people who buy into these charlatans don't have half a brain. They'll happily throw their money at this.

This is; Here’s Why the Right-Wing Grifter Problem Is a Right-Wing Problem 2.0


The honest question the right wing needs to ask; what is our maximum tolerance for being grifted?

Also, is Being Grifted an acquired behavior? After watching their parent being grifted by Fox and Rush for 30 years. Why are young suburban conservatives throwing their money Peterson, Shapiro, and their brain pills?

[Kraenen]

I thought they migrate to Gen OT and politics tbh these days instead of Stormfront

lol, I've seen Stormfront images, and it's really nothing close to what you see here.

[Sunseeker]

Cool have fun with that.

[Somewhatconcerned]

Jordan Peterson is still relevant?

[Howel]

I kind of like the shadowban approach, real life should imitate it; just erect 40 foot soundproof barriers around people that absolutely feel the need to spew dumb shit, problem solved

[Ashina]

This is ridiculous. Only people who don’t listen to Peterson think he’s a far right opinion maker. All of his views are on YouTube, educate yourselves snowflakes.

[Shalcker]

INB4 one of the resident woke-stooges complains about censorship on the left!

Jordan Peterson’s Online Platform Will Shadowban Unpopular Opinions

Ohhh and his first content provider will be some rapey fantasy fiction from Carl Benjamin?

Clickbait much?

The article itself explain that proposed measure is not shadowbanning.

The point of shadowbanning (the "shadow" part) is that user is unaware that his messages are no longer being shown; messages marked as "hidden due to downvotes" are generally indicated to user and fully visible to everyone by clicking.

He's an idiot hypocrite that is suing to stifle someone's speech. Did you know that?

http://theconversation.com/hey-jorda...ypocrite-98749

Kinda funny that he is trying to create some "free speech platform", while trying to stifle someone's free speech because he makes shitty comments and someone called him out on it. He can comment on psychology all he wants to, but everything else, he isn't qualified to comment on without sounding like a fucking moron.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Jordan_Peterson
This link is all you need right here to know why he is retarded.

Hates gay marriage
Climate Change Denier
Tried to debate Matt Dillahunty and lost.

That is just the highlights but anyone that takes him seriously on anything other than psychology, is gullible and deserves to find out the hard way that Peterson is an idiot.

He is very conservative in his views on family and science. I don't know what his economic views are, I don't think he's ever stated them.

He might not personally be far right, however, he is very popular with the far right and it is the far right who would mostly flock to his new website.

The irony...

A thread where predictably JP is shit on once more and his idea framed as a hub for extremists

...proceeds to source his remark on an article where the very first lines don't suggest any bias at all.

Dingus Supreme is new to me, but keep at it though. Well i suppose the point of these people isn't journalistic integrity

Anyone constantly drawing this connection is intellectually dishonest.

Mind you, I'm not denying its existence, but condemning the intent with which it's made.
Does JPs content appeal to extremists? It does. But it does to thousands or millions of other non extreme individuals.

Peterson's critics are like anti vaxxers, i could find 9 cases where accusations towards him have been counter argued. But if they find that one where he hasn't addressed, well get ready for a ride.in the merry go around.

To be fair, considering, what happens to most sides, launched as "alternative" to mainstream mediums like Youtube, Twitter and so on, to promote "free speech", ending up exactly like that... I can totally see that happen
On the other hand, a subscription based webside as an "anti censorship" safe haven? We do not censor you... (yet), but you will have to pay us, for your "free speech". I do not see, how it will, if you have to pay for it, become popular, or anything else than an echo chamber.
Funnily enough, every forum, discussion side, what ever has rules. Like... we allow you to say everything you want... no matter how disgusting, brutal sounding it is. But don't you dare, to post something about My Little Pony!!!

If he didn't want to be associated with the far right then he wouldn't make frequent appearances on PragerU.

I don't know if he's far right other than his views on family and science, but he's certainly not afraid of being associated with far right propaganda like PragerU. So, anyone denying Peterson has a connection to the far right is intellectually dishonest. He openly courts the far right even if he isn't himself.

[Kaleredar]

Jordan Peterson is still relevant?

He was getting worried, so he's trying this stunt.

That's my take on it.


Well, fools and their money are soon parted, so...

[Doctor Amadeus]

Jordan Peterson is an alt right toilet bug and intellectual sell out. Any credible academic would consider this salesman a joke.

If he wants to sell his stupidity to those that will buy it like Tony Robbins let em. Provided they know full well going in the disclaimer this guy is a fraud. He may believe a lot of stupid shit.

But at the end of the day he is a worthless hollowed man trying to sell and make $$$$$$$.

Nevermind the fact that he continuously denounces any form of extremism on his public attendances.

Remember when people were toying with accusations of him catering to incels? That was all cool, despite the fact that he had stated, and im paraphrasing, "if you're alone and resenting the fact that no one wants to be with you, then the problem isn't with them, it's with you".

But accusations are like that. Regardless of your ideological standing, if someone has a strong bias agaisnt you, it doesn't much if you explain yourself, it's gonna stick. We're all guilty of doing this, to different extents.

He attracts anyone that enjoys his message. This is like guilt by association. So the man has been to, what, 200 cities in the world giving public talks. He makes an appearance in a PragerU event to talk about, what was it, the belief in god, so he's far-right now. I guess by association, the public attending those 200 talks are far right.

Yes, PragerU is far right. I don't know what else to tell you.

[Grimbold21]

Yes, PragerU is far right. I don't know what else to tell you.

By whose standard? Unless conservative is synonymous with far-right in the States

[Fithwitha]

Jordan Peterson should be punched on the nose.

[Wyrt]

By whose standard? Unless conservative is synonymous with far-right in the States

No. Most Democrats in the US are conservative. I don't think anyone would call them far right.
