fuck you false flagger

Peterson's popularity really shows how far society's level of critical thinking has fallen. 90% of the shit he regurgitates is either common sense or a point that has been made countless times already.

I'm not even an "everyone is a drooling retard except for me" faggot, it just makes me mad that people can't engage in simple debate anymore without being called a libcuck or racist.

>>9939950
Dr. Peterson has said most of his friends are Jews and that they're great people.

No wonder this fuck is so scared of communism, he would be the first on the gallows

>>9939992
Of course he would say that he is a Jew.

>thing I don't like shows how society is beneath me

i'm trembling

>>9940003
Fuck communism

>>9939950
Just an off topic pointer: real men don't say sweetie.

>>9939982
I think about this too. It's painful watching all those 'cringe' videos on YouTube where, specifically liberals, get so emotional over such basic, common sense. I can even understand dumb shit like racism, because its ingrained in people, but the way these people act is just so strange.

People refuse to even listen to the other side, they would rather just drown them out and stubbornly stick to their guns

A good portion of them are college students with no direction in life though.

>antisemites
Who cares about people who follow others without even having listened to them first?

>>9939982
The irony is that he continually speaks out about this problem, and how left and right need to learn to talk to each other and be able to debate without getting emotional. Literally all the points you made. But then people, even on here, throw his face up and watch people polarise into ideological clubs to avoid thinking or talking properly about anything.

>>9940003

Nice, that should attract more people to denounce the leftist ideology spread everywhere.

>>9939982
He has 400k subscribers on Youtube. Out of ~8 billion on the planet, that's not a very good way to discern that "society's level of critical thinking has fallen," especially considering there's a really good chance many of those subscribers are between the ages of 16-25.

Most people could never engage in simple debate, either. Not now, not ever. That's why we have cult figure worshipers and ideologues all throughout history. People don't like to think.

Hello r/socialism. What are you doing here?

he's cried about it before, he's got quite the ego and blames himself for their choices if they seemingly support him

>>9940003
>this on top of his sunshine list salary
guys rolling in it

>>9939982
Who the fuck cares? He's a university professor teaching about myth and archetypes so yeah he's going to be mostly parroting Jung and he's into existentialists so he's mostly going to be discussing their works.

If you actually see some of his full lectures, you'll see he has capability for literary analysis and has a hold on abstract philosophical viewpoints.

Is most of the self-help stuff he says obvious? Of course it is. He says so himself, but the society we live in now tries to strip meaning from things so much so that people feel lost and the obvious has sunk into a sea of confusion. Plus, that's what clinical psychologists do: making what seems obvious and normal to regular people obvious and normal to people who have lost their way due to some mental illness or traumatic event.

His only downsides are the fact that he's become famous because of "rational centrists" and alt-right ignoramuses online after he refused to respect some transgender person's personal pronouns, he's more popular than he should be based on what he does, and his opinions on postmodernism and Marxist thought don't have any nuance and mirrors the ideas of the most rudimentary Youtube "philosophers".

What does he say that's so obvious? I don't get it.

>>9939945

i'm sure their money is the same colour to him as any other followers.

>>9940918
That's why he panders to them without teethering over the neonazi edge.

>>9940930
>everyone who dissent from Marxist totalitarian terror is Hitler

You're making more Hitlers than you intend to.

Talk about Duning-Kruger
They are 13-18
Same goes for people who watch things like "Elon Musk went next level genius", "Slavoj Zizek explains the universe", "Stefan Molyneux destroys the slavery myth"

is that your own post you screencapped? nice try. as if turning some poor attempt at "deconstruction" into a meme would legitimize it

>>9940086
Not him, but there is no such thing as 'real men', furthermore you and your definitions of what 'real', 'men' or 'sweetie' constitute is irrelevant.
Lastly, off-topic is spelled with a hyphen.

That's hell of a psychosis you are living. Last I checked the last communist regime is suffering from famines and other one is on a verge of a civil war.

LARPing faggot.

>>9941251
So typical of this site?

>>9939945

What's somehow bothersome to me is that Peterson ended up convincing these dumbass North American libertarians that the study of mythology is relevant. Finally those dumbasses got it in their thick skull that the systematic study of religion and of history is needed.
So what's bothersome is that the only way they were open to that idea is that they had to hear it from an "anti-SJW academic" or else they would've swept it aside as some "libtard waste of money xD".
