Social New Jordan Peterson Book made Penguin's SJWs Burst Into Tears

[HOLA]

And btw, JP's schtick about fixing yourself before you try to fix the world is a poor, twisted, bastardized version of what people with actual writing ability wrote long before JP was around. Like Fernando Pessoa, who didn't write these lines in The Book Of Disquiet 100 years ago for anything even remotely resembling the reasons JP spews his version:

"Every revolutionary and reformer is a fugitive. To fight for change is to be incapable of changing oneself. To reform is to be beyond repair.

A sensitive and honest-minded man, if he’s concerned about evil and injustice in the world, will naturally begin his campaign against them by eliminating them at their nearest source: his own person. This task will take his entire life."

Pessoa also, btw, finished up the paragraphs on this topic with:

"I almost reproach myself for writing these sketchy reflections..."

If only Jordan Peterson was capable of some similar introspection!

makes sense.
mentally ill people, like most progressives are, cannot control their emotions so they need someone else to intervene.

No one has discussed whether the employer has the right to fire workers for having the wrong views. I'm actually not aware of what if any protections apply here (either as a general thing or in their contracts). Some people have said that the workers should be fired (a life event with stress levels comparable to a death in the immediate family) for having the wrong opinion here, and that view has been criticized (one can disagree with a hypothetical decision while acknowledging someone's right to make it). Others have claimed that the liberal, pro-free-speech position is that the workers are bad, which has also been criticized.

They can have the wrong opinion all they want. In private. Once they're publicly attacking their employer, it's time to fire them.

 

[ElijahWood]

He's a grifter who rose to fame by lying about a law designed to protect people from discrimination. A "self-help guru" who defends the status quo by telling people they shouldn't criticize injustice in the world - they should first be worried about finding remedies for their own personal imperfections...meanwhile he's popping pills like Tic Tacs and going on diatribes about the fall of western civilization. You must be able to see that stunning hypocrisy? He's wife's illness is neither here nor there and it doesn't excuse his hypocrisy.

Do think those people he told to sort themselves out before criticizing the world don't have similar issues going on in their life? Most people at some point have to face the impending death of a loved one. He gets to be a drug addict going into comas while ranting about society but other people shouldn't dare criticize society if they have any personal imperfections?

How did he lie about the law?

 

[HOLA]

How did he lie about the law?

He fear mongered that it would lead to prosecutions for people who refused to use individual's preferred pronouns. JP was so up in arms over it he even compared it to Marxist doctrines which resulted in 100 million killed in the 20th century. Here we are more than 3 years after the the bill was made law and the arrest tally is zero.

 

[skold]

7 pages in...and still only 1 or 2 left leaning posters have had to integrity to condemn this nonsense.

The vast majority still cracking jokes about his substance abuse issues and/or justifying this.

Not surprised

Have a cry snowflake

 

[PrinceOfPain]

The mentally broken and beaten resenting a man who's fought through mental and emotional trauma to find success on the other side?

Shocking.

 

[12ga.]

I'm pretty far left but this left is fascist. Stalin instead of Ghandi. F*&K them no excuse for this sh!t in USA - land of the free speech. They should sh!t can every one of those crybabies. Give em UBI though. $800 a month so they dont starve.

It is possible, Brown says, through a process that would start with a complaint and progress to a proceeding before a human rights tribunal. If the tribunal rules that harassment or discrimination took place, there would typically be an order for monetary and non-monetary remedies. A non-monetary remedy may include sensitivity training, issuing an apology, or even a publication ban, he says.

If the person refused to comply with the tribunal's order, this would result in a contempt proceeding being sent to the Divisional or Federal Court, Brown says. The court could then potentially send a person to jail “until they purge the contempt,” he says.

“It could happen,” Brown says. “Is it likely to happen? I don’t think so. But, my opinion on whether or not that's likely has a lot to do with the particular case that you're looking at.”

“The path to prison is not straightforward. It’s not easy. But, it’s there. It’s been used before in breach of tribunal orders.”

Tell them they can leave if they don't like their decision to publish the book.

Yup. It's no coincidence that the guys who hate JP the most are the ones on here that would most obviously benefit from taking his lectures to heart.

They just aren't ready to hear it yet.

This is one of the most interesting things about leftist cultists. How they think everyone else is in a cult.

The "True Liberal Position" is pretty much only followed in the United States.
Currently, in places like Canada and other countries (Germany), there is a list of banned books for sale.
Mostly right-wing political books, especially National-Socialist Germany era books. Far left books are fine though.

Completely wrong. There are a handful of books some public libraries won't carry. But don't worry brother, you can still buy your hard covers of Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries on Amazon or Ebay.

Trump and Peterson and two people in a world of nearly 8 billion people. Chill out snowflake

Progressive leftists don't like Peterson because he had the nerve to combat their gender lunacy, and also took a huge dump on third wave feminist nonsense, which sought to neuter western men ("progressive" men desire neutering, so this upsets them feverishly).

He's obviously a good guy, and has a wealth of knowledge in his field.

When you see people slander him (especially to the detriment of his family sufferings - which spawned his drug addiction and necessary treatment), you know those people are just ideological adversaries looking to throw a barb any way that they can.

He didn't even understand bill C-16, which is what he made his brand off the back of to begin with.

Maybe ask yourself why people who screech out "post-modernist!!" and "Cultural Marxism!!!" all the time are listening to a guy who fails at understanding both marxism AND post-modernism that he lumps them together.

Here's a pretty good review of Explaining Post-Modernism by Stephen Hicks. This book, and the writings of Hicks are much of where Peterson has obviously gotten his info from. You know how I know? It's also full of the basic factual errors Peterson himself falls for.

Well, what do YOU call it when you beat your wife to the least dusty pork rind under the couch cushions?

@ElijahWood calls it "Ima beat my sister again!"

Fucking hell. People will simply say anything to rag on people. White supremacy lol, talk about baseless. The guy's not perfect, and he's fine fodder for some ribbing. But white supremacy etc is simply ridiculous. Save those words for the Hitlers of the world, not guys who are somewhat conservative.

Haven't you heard, man?

Everyone nowadays who isn't a pink-haired gender-fluid POC is "literally Hitler".

The left have completely devalued the words racism, Hitler, Nazi, Fascist and White Supremacist to the point where they no longer mean anything.

 

[Cid]

And if the publisher values their employees more than Jordan's business they should pass on his business. Bottom line.

Disagreeing with someone doesn't mean you don't value them or their opinion.

You're wrong.

But i still respect you as a poster and value your input.


See easy.
