    I’m still angry that Jordan Peterson gets so much shit thrown up on YT. As a Canadian, I’d just like to say we prefer being associated with Beiber.

      Beiber gained some maturity. Those other two, not so much. I feel your pain.

      Out of every “Conservative influencer” Peterson is the least unpalatable.

          Yeah? I mean, I don’t agree with him on most things, but for all you can criticize him for, why that?

          Drug dependence doesn’t make someone inherently a bad person, nor does being Russian.

      Imma catch hate here, but I’m a woman, and I like the guy. I watch some of his stuff, though I don’t dip into his lectures on religion. Just not for me.

        you’re at the narrow end of the wedge right now. “put your shoulders back when you walk”, “clean your room”, “don’t lie”, all good advice that can be had anywhere. it’s just that the further into it you get, the more you arrive at his core philosophy, which is that there is a natural hierarchy to all human relationships and that cishet white men should be on the top of it because they’re the only people capable of bringing and maintaining order in the face of the “chaos dragon” of femininity, and that the history of violent western european dominance over much of the world is to be taken as prima facie evidence that violent western european dominance of the world is an ideal to be asserted wherever possible. it’s repackaged “white man’s burden” stuff mixed with a bunch of badly misinterpreted freud.

        Ahh! So it’s safe to assume that you’re also a satanistic Christian?
