Does this mean I actually have to watch this in order to make pertinent commentary? This is some kind of multi-tasking trap, isn't it?

It's only 12 minutes, but no one has to watch it to comment.

I did watch it. Finally, a voice of reason! And if this was a rant, I must say, it was the most polite Canadian style rant ever :)

There’s nobody quite like Peterson. He has a way of using precise language to cut through the web of lies perpetuated by marxists and Leftists and dishonest purveyors of poisonous ideologies. He is the hero we needed to combat a new generation of snakes who need to be driven out of the halls of influence and power.

Thanks for the post. I see him get praised on other boards as well but haven't ever looked into his work at length. After watching this I agree that he deserves positive recognition.

That’s really good

Somebody needs to muzzle this Jordan Peterson character ASAP and commit him to a mental institution for strong medication and re-education. He doesn't even realize that free speech has been outlawed for at least 25 years, and that free speech that hasn't been outlawed is subject to severe censure and formal if not informal PC indictment.

He has been smeared many times, but just keeps telling the truth no matter what they say:

He's lucky he is a tenured professor. Pretty much anyone else would get fired for telling the truth.

They may still find a way.

The label "Alt Right" is used in the same way that "Nazi" is used.

It means only "We don't like him, do we?" the way a pre-teen girl would rally support for excluding someone socially.

The actual points the guy is making are conveniently ignored.

demanded the “libelous” journalist correct himself and instead refer to Jordan Peterson as a Liberal.

Disingenuous. From the video above, Jordan Peterson's definition of a "liberal" includes someone who can be against "Feminism," against the various "gender/ethnic" studies including anthropology, who can tell people to stop worrying about "rights" and worry about responsibilities, who can be against "white guilt" and even against Marxism and other forms of collectivism. Jordan also condemns the "people are raping the planet" meme.

He is putting himself in the Traditional Liberal category. You are fully aware that the "68% of Patnetters" are condemning the "Liberal" who espouses free lunch Socialism, open borders, Feminism, "gender studies," and collective branding like "White Guilt."

4:37 Not only did the Germans apologize, Nuremberg was the formal condemnation and execution of many of the practitioners of the Holocaust on the world stage. And old Nazis are still being pursued into their mid-90s. Marxism has never been called to a comparable accounting, in fact many today still swear by it. Pete Seeger was 95 when he died 2014, still a hero of the left. Of course, he never lived under communism, as no one in their right mind would want to. It's still acceptable to hate people based on class.

Peterson is a classical liberal, of which many such are represented here at Patnet. That means pro freedoms, pro rights, wary of government intrusion into social issues, and prone to a “live and let live” ideology. Capitalism isn’t a dirty word to a classical liberal. We reserve that for fascism and Totalitarianism
