it's still an ungrade from the bluepill tho

> The Globe and Mail reviewed hundreds of pages of discussions about Prof. Peterson and his views on anonymous message boards, including 4chan and voat – two of the least moderated or monitored online forums. The conversations, which range from immature to obscene, show that the professor’s critics were the subjects of “doxing” campaigns, where activists are personally identified and harassed online.

top fucking kek

Good job, G&M. Literally paying your """"""""journalists""""""""" to browse this dumb site.

How many pages was it again? Oh, yeah, 100.

>>9591636
Lmao how do I get this job

>>9591636
>tfw those journalist are behind the peterson's threads invasion of /lit/

>>9591655
gotta love journalists creating their own news, which is to say making fake news

>spam a half dozen peterson threads
>write a story on how there are a half dozen peterson threads on 4chan
>wonder why everyone is sick of the dishonest media

Oh wow, there's more. Are these guys the ones making all the Peterson threads?

> The contrast with what happened online is stark. On 4chan’s / “pol”/ subgroup, where hundreds of posters were commenting on a live feed of the event, a stream of misogynist and dehumanizing invective was directed at all three women.

> The Peterson tent may not be a safe space, but it’s spacious. Alongside those who find personal direction in his lectures about Jung, religion and morality, his fans include a strange fringe movement associated with the far-right and a semi-satirical belief in an ancient Egyptian god of chaos called Kek.

> “Kekistanis” conduct their conversations on the message board 4chan, and particularly its /”pol”/ space, where the movement was born. It’s a heedless world that thrives on a mix of shock, teenage-level obscenity and often, racism, misogyny and hate. But some observers have also suggested that the Kek movement represents a kind of alt-right paganism.

> The vast majority of discussions around Peterson on the 4chan / “pol”/ board, however, is obscenely insulting toward his critics. “Part of the animus and part of the anger on the far right comes from simply not seeing what other people can see,” said Whitney Phillips, the author of This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things, a book about the relationship between trolls and mainstream media. Prof. Phillips says the trolls of Kek and 4chan thrive on damaging others. Sometimes they may not even realize how deep the damage may be because they have never experienced the kind of aggression they are perpetrating. Kek is the name given to a virtual deity created by the online world, and specifically by the 4chan discussion board, populated by a mix of far-right Internet users, libertarians, trolls and teenage pranksters. Originally a garbled version of “LOL” (laugh out loud) from online gaming and Internet forums, “Kek” is also a variation on “Kuk,” an ancient Egyptian god symbolizing primordial darkness and chaos, and usually depicted with the head of a frog. In recent years, some adherents to the “church of Kek” have built a semi-ironic “cult of Kek” around the god to signal their identity as agents of disorder.

They sort of downplay /pol/'s edginess. Maybe they're scared of advertising too much for it.

And not a single shout out to /lit/. Not surprising, from borderline illiterate journalists. For sure our vast erudition would scare them off and they'd prefer to lurk a board with an IQ more in their range, even if their politics are the polar opposite.

Ok, Simona, this is for you.

Good day.

>>9591666
>even if their politics are the polar opposite.
This is a marxist anarcho-catholic board.

>>9591572
His stance is rational, and as a tenured faculty he should be protected assuming no crime or misdemeanor. And his main point of contention is Canada's new "victim's choice" hate laws, what he says is appropriate.

>>9591731

>>9591812
retards are going to keep bumping shit threads like these as long as the jackass """journalist""" keeps making these threads

while we're laughing at shitty journalists i just this in a story on alt-right protesters in the nytimes:

>To Mr. Chapman, 41, who on social media goes by the nom de guerre Based Stickman — “based” is slang for not caring what others think, and “stickman” refers to the closet dowel he wielded this spring at his first political skirmish
>“based” is slang for not caring what others think

wait, what? i'm not exactly sure how to define "based" but i'm pretty sure that's not it

>>9591821
Look, buddy. At least based Simona knows how to use a fucking comma.

She''s our Queen now.

>>9591821

>>9591822
Is this a journalist's thinly veiled attempt at getting us to define "based" for xe?

>>9591822
My God. Is it really that hard to understand this place? I've been on 4chan for a decade, so maybe my perception is skewed, but we can't be THAT impenetrable, can we?

Simona, Simona, I know this not the best opportunity, but there is Ai Uehara thread on /gif/ and there the post 10660419.
I think it speaks for itself, would you at least consider my offer? I shave if you know what I mean.

How long did she spend here? 30 minutes?

seems to be the same as /lit/, full of shitposting but with unfounded elitism

shame that there is few good places for just talking about books

>>9591935
I'm still a member there, haven't posted in weeks though. Give it a chance, 80% of the time it's shitposting sure, but occasionally there's good posters online like Rapture and Pine.
