Current Affairs Jordan Peterson

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Watched his interview with Morgan and he seems a genuine fella. Don't agree with everything he says but he has a right to voice an opinion which seems a crime in the era of the western far left crusade of cancel culture.

He seems to gain a lot of heat for disagreeing with woke mumbo jumbo science such as transgenders competing in female competitive sports.

I'm hoping you are like Les Dawson playing the piano.

I think I have mentioned before, he is obviously intelligent in his field but I don't understand why he now has the answer for everything

A lot of very intelligent people are hopeless with other parts of their life

After seeing his climate change conversation it was pretty obvious doesn't even understand what modelling is, genuinely clueless in 99% of what he pontificates about to a guillible audience

@RAFUH any chance we could have this thread and the Andrew Tate thread moved to the current affairs section? Not really sure it belongs in the Alehouse

How do you feel about him using his platform to be mean to a lady on the basis of her appearance and an actor on the basis of how he chooses to live?

I dont partake in the "culture war" of the left and right so I can't comment on that Lobster as I dont watch these videos. What I will say however is having done a bit of research on the guy / watched the Piers Morgan interview he seems a reasonably intelligent fella who does have some valid points.

He's essentially a victim of the Far Lefts attempts at shutting down debate.

He's a clinical psychologist. He is no more qualified to talk about climate change than any other idiot off the street.

Well fella, I'm glad you asked. Have a read of this and ask if that's a kind way to talk about people you've never met.

How has he been a victim?

Think you've spelled dustbin wrong there.

?

I must have missed demo's before BLM being allowed to tear down public statues, attack peoples businesses and attack random members of the public whilst the police stood by scared to act incase they were called racist.

Then you had far left feminists ignoring lockdown and protesting for men to be given 6pm curfews because a woman was kidnapped and murdered by one solitary male.

Shut them all down and put an end to the nonsense.

The last 12 months has been a farce in our history "I dont like what that person says momma so im gunna go tear something down momma".

Thanks to the hijack of the party by Momentum and the Far Left.

No coincidence when the party were ran by the Centrists we had the golden years of Nu Labour.

The Left are often authoritarian by nature sadly - its very rare these days that you'll find a Leftist with Libertarian views and common sense.

I despise them just as much as the Right these days.

The issue is it doesn't need to be about socialism or whatever its more about having a party that targets the key issues that wins them votes and thus an election.

The modern Left/Labour are more arsed about taking the knee and making sure every Morrisons has a gender neutral toilet than actually tackling issues such as Universal Credit, Zero Hour Contracts, poverty, high utility prices, scandalous child care fees for working people etc.

But Labour politicians fall into the trap of giving right wing press every bit of ammo they need.

"BLM smash up property/burn British Flag on the cenotaph"

**Labour Leader pictured taking the knee for BLM**

"Immigration from the EU a massive talking point on the election"

**Brown caught on video calling someone a bigot over Immigration**

This is the point the left can't understand the majority of the UK as @LEONARD pointed out are patriotic centre right in many issues but often with centre left views on economy so play to your strengths and focus on the economy and stop getting stitched up by the media but they cant because they are too ideologically driven to not get caught up in the cancel culture / PC nonsense etc.

Said it months ago Sir Keir is playing the long game and is letting the Tories self implode.

The baying metropolitan elite, woke mob and far left insurgents within the ranks who are desperate for a loud mouth Che Guevara wannabe like Corbyn will look very silly when we have our first Labour Election win in over a decade.

The vaccines have been a God send mate - I've always said the vaccines outweigh the risks of COVID however they aint 100% safe therefore im simply speaking from experience as someone under 30 who statistically is very unlikely to die of Covid but also one of the more likely groups to suffer potential bad side effects.

4-6 months post 2 doses there is very little danger of an under 30 dying of COVID therefore why the big push for them to be given a booster? Why the complete lack of disregard of the potential rare but serious side effects such as myocarditis to those particularly in that age group/men?

As I said Covid has become political now and you're either left/right commie/capitalist and now you can add covid fanatic/denier to the ever growing divide in our societies.

Thats why I dont bother "linking up" because as soon as someone see's the name of the poster giving that information they instantly disregard it as you're "not on my side of the fence" so to speak.

It's not just a UK problem either - much of the Western World has shifted to the Right because of the failure of the Left.

The reality is the human race has been at war with one another since the days of tribes of cavemen.

We'll never as a species be fully in agreement with one another why its best to let people be.

Why I try refrain from debating with the metropolitan elite of the left or those on the far right - neither will ever accept the centrist position and I shouldn't expect them to either.

Dont like the Tories mate but until we can vote them oot I'll take this Sunak fella for now at least he sounds like he'll give the far left woke a bloody nose thats all I can ask for until Sir Keir gets in office.

Its worrying times indeed mate, but we have to ask ourselves is burying our heeds in the sand to what's happening around us going to make things easier in the long run?

Imo the Reason why the political landscape is so chaotic worldwide is because the West has dropped the ball over the last few decades and sat back and appeased rogue states/emerging rivals in fear of either "nuclear warfare" or appeasing the left of politics domestically who still suffer guilt over the days of empire.

Putin invaded Ukraine because he saw a West ran by weak leaders.

The more we act like soy boys in the political arena the more these tyrants like Putin and the CCP will keep pushing their luck you feel.

You can tackle those issues without appearing weak on the national stage.

Problem for the West is we cant do anything thats seen "provocative" these days without the far left making a massive deal of it domestically.

Look at the US visit to Taiwan recently - getting blamed by the Left over a harmless state visit because tyrant CCP got butt hurt about it "dont anger China or hurt their feelings lads" when instead the left should be looking at China's horrendous human rights record and not appeasing their imperialist behaviour.

No but you on the left only ever wanna talk about the West.

Saudi stoning gays to death - western white mans fault

China hauling muslims into re-education camps - Western white mans fault

Russia invading over countries - western white mans fault

North Korea feeding POWs to rabid dogs - western white mans fault

The problem with those on the left (as a problem with those on the right) is that everything they read politically and historically is done through an echo chamber of authors of the same political leaning therefore your view on everything is always with red or blue tinted specs on.

A good example - a Green Party voting mate of mine who is very woke was astounded to know that in the days of slavery in the South of USA there were also black plantation/slave owners not just white. He didnt know that as they dont teach you that in school.

Im a centrist I call out the fools on both sides of the spectrum who believe only what they choose to believe.

I've seen a lot of left leaning folk with Ukranian flags on their twitter/social media handles - not seen one with Yemeni flag.

You even had a high profile Labour politician in the North East who was begging for the PL to approve the Saudi Newcastle takeover.

Veganism is an honourable way of living... but like a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, in of itself its a nice thing but it often attracts wrong'un owners.

There are too many people on the left who like the label but dont practice what they preach. You can attend BLM protests and knock down statues but I guarantee thats done nothing to help BAME in the UK.

Trying to keep things on topic here - you look at the Conservatives and you get many of their voter base claim to be "proud to be British" but what have many of those voters actually done for their country?

You've been suckered in to the rat race of culture wars imo and whilst the Tories leadership is shockingly bad what hope do we have when the people behind the other political parties and at support level are just as morally bankrupt ? Truss and the Tories have to go but I can't see a magical wand that solves this once great Islands problems.

I can only speak for myself but the biggest threat to freedom of speech, liberty and freedom of expression and opinion currently is from the Left unfortunately.

Historically that never used to be the way outside of one or two despot regimes but the Left has been hijacked by fascists.

That doesnt mean I dont dislike the Right but the truth has to set us free.

I'm talking about Western society mate - yes there are still fascists on the right in the west (mainly your nationalists like the SNP/BNP) or your religious fundamentalists in the deep south of the US but they're a fringe element of the Right.

The issue with the Left is its not just the "far left" anymore who have authoritarian traits the middle ground left now employ this cancel culture type tactics to shut down any views they dont agree with and thats why we have to take a stand before its too late.

The problem in society is the Fascists on the Left are wolves in sheeps clothing - they push their ideology under the cuddly guise of Political Correctness.

The Far Left Brigade on social media quickly forget everyone even themselves has a past.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The far Left are basically saying "if Begum gets harshly treated for joining a death cult murdering thousands of people then so should any similiar aged person who tells a sexist joke or says a racist term".

It's outrageous tactics through whataboutery. If everyone was collared in work for having ever told or laughed at a sexist/racist joke or gotten into a scrap outside a pub back when we were all stupid teenagers half the country would be out of a job.

Is he wrong to say she's not attractive ? Thats his opinion and he has a right to say that. I personally think she's fit as will many others whilst some will agree with Mr Peterson.

I dont see him inciting violence or spreading hate so I dont see why people get upset by it.
