Have we done a Jordan Peterson thread yet?

So.... I've got as far as watching him on "Louder with Crowder" with Lindsey-the-Canadian TA and also a BBC interview with the woman who compered the awful genderquake debate.

I think I would have condemned every word coming out of his mouth a couple of years ago but now I've had the experience of not being on the "woke" side of a debate I feel a bit differently.

He doesn't seem to recognise/believe in lived experience at all... but on the other hand he doesn't seem terrible. He also seems kind of honest which is rare.

Yes we have - he's not on the side of feminists at all - free speech yes

It's been done to death here as far as I'm concerned. The typical thread trajectory is big supporters arrive, some of them having a rather cult-like outlook, and there is a great deal of mansplaining.

He is very consistent in his views but he doesn't believe people have barriers which he doesn't experience (which are therefore are invisible to him) ie- he doesn't do class analysis as far as i've seen.

I saw him on television a while back. He refused to call some people 'zhe' and 'phey ' and other made up pronouns and was accused of committing a 'hatecrime' . Orwell would be laughing his head off, no?

Yes he is good on refusing to play along to be nice, but he has blind spots when it comes to other people's barriers/systemic issues.

“he doesn't believe people have barriers which he doesn't experience (which are therefore are invisible to him)”

Yeah, I pick that up. He’d be incompetent in a primary school.
