The Jordan Peterson Thread

Is there any precedent at all for someone winning a defamation suit over opinions that were stated in a private meeting? Also, how does someone reconcile this kind of lawsuit with a purported belief in freedom of speech?

None of these people believe in freedom of speech.

nobody does

Also, how does someone reconcile this kind of lawsuit with a purported belief in freedom of speech?

Indeed. I'd love to see this specific question put to him and his answer. I guess he'd be tempted not to answer because if he did, the answer would be something like 'Yes I believe in freedom of speech, but there should still be penalties for those found to be using speech for bad ends ...' and in that instant he'd have given away a lot of ground.

Can you find the meetup marxist? https://www.meetup.com/Napa-Jordan-B-Peterson-Discussion-Group/members/?sort=join_date&desc=0

was really hoping there'd be a "Brace B." in there

Where the focus is on learning and growth I suppose. I don't really know how that would work. I can barely even conceptualize it.

Some kind of a safe... space... for JBP discussion

very funny conversation between two young women sitting opposite each other on the tube the other day. One leaned forward and pushed the Standard under the other's nose and said, 'Look'. Other looks down at an article with a picture of Jacob Rees-Mogg in his fucking top/silk hat etc and says 'Who the fuck's that?'. Other one goes, 'You know it's that bloke you were going on about today.' Looks at picture again, 'What? Who is it? I've no idea who that is.' 'You *know* Jacob thingy, Rees-Mogg'. 'Literally, never seen him before... Oh hang on wait, do you mean Jacob Peterson?' 'Oh *yeaaaaah* that's who I meant' 'Yeah, Jacob Peterson, and his name's not Jacob it's Jordan.' They both start pissing themselves laughing. But,' (gestures at pic) 'that's not him, he's some other dickhead.'

our boy drinks some cider, is allegedly felled by feelings of impending doom for an entire month due to ‘sulphites’ in the beverage, joe rogan of all people seems skeptical

definitely not some kind of mental breakdown, oh noes

25 days without sleeping, you say

Throughoot humanity's existence, there's been a deep understanding, it can be seen in some of our foundational mythoalogies, that consumption of apple proaducts precedes a dire fall of some kind.

maybe he just forgot to clean his room

There’s no good reason for me to link this but it’s my local alt-weekly and I’m not going to suffer alone here.

can already tell that's a winner from the great-faith headline

the url is like acid in my eyes

drinking a glass of cider during a meat-only diet seems insane, like breaking your Atkins with a funnel cake

Her previous article was about how Democrats need to stop using “abolish ICE” as a slogan.

i read some of that link unfortunately and now i long to be consumed by hellfire

"Okay, he's an overgrown, petulant child who doesn't know what words mean. But he's not a racist. He's just sort of indirectly saying a racist thing!"

But Peterson’s point (and you can watch him yourself) wasn’t that gay people are unfit to parent; it’s that children are better off with both male and female role models in their lives. This, frankly, doesn’t seem all that homophobic to me (and I'm actually a homosexual):

ur a cop

sorry sorry i'm trying to unpost it

anyone who hasn't watched the contrapoints video on JP - it really is a cleansing force

I agree that he should be provided as many platforms as possible to be an idiot on

Katie Herzog is a terfy concern troll waste of column inches and since she hasn’t been laid off from the stranger yet she must get along with Dan Savage which is itself a sign of weak character

I would like the Stranger to go out of business as soon as Heidi Groover gets a better job.

a friend in durham sent this article about his condemnation by the durham city council and oh my god what a fuckin dweeb he is

"City of Durham’s statement is one of the purest demonstrations I have yet seen of the tendency for the ideologically possessed to use denouncement tactically as a means to amplify and exaggerate personal or identity-group virtue. To lay this bare, I have composed this analysis of the psychological motivations and narrative structure of the statement."

real talk, you should try and troll this asshole in twitter instead of sharing his article

was she named after the t. rex song or did t. rex write the song about her

To lay this bear, I have composed
