Haters will always hate JP. It's fine.


Pretty much, this comment spawned an entire thread of replies from, most likely, angry white people, complaining about the man who's name was in the title.

Not a single one had anything to say about Britanny King or what she had to say to Bret.

Got that? The video only briefly touches on Britanys interview with Jordan Peterson, and instead of hearing the black woman's ideas on BLM these psychopaths would rather complain about Jordan Peterson, they don't even realise the interview is barely about him.


Presumably because nobody wants to watch a rambling 20 minute video where we incredibly agonizingly slowly get around to proving Jordan Peterson isn't that bad because a person of color supports him.

Here's a radical take he's an annoying talking head who is by turns educated and either uninformed or deceptive about the issues he's trying to spin out of control. What he isn't is worth attending to. The same can be said of this video. The downvotes aren't for wrongthink they are for the vastly more serious crime, on the internet at least, of being boring.


Please don't perpetuate flamewars on HN. It's unbelievably repetitive and tedious.

Dang. I’m no great JP fan—he’s certainly controversial—but I’ve found him reliably interesting in the handful of videos I’ve seen. To each his own.


He's really not controversial though?

All of his "controversy" I manufactured in hit pieces that misquote and take things out of context to push a narrative that isnt based on objective reality.

We've asked you before to stop posting egregious flamewar comments to HN. Since you've ignored these requests, I've banned the account. Please don't create accounts to break HN's guidelines with—we're trying for something quite different here.

Jordan Peterson is a complete charlatan. It's quite a spectacle to watch suckers lose their minds to his otherwise easily detectable hocus pocus.


A charlatan in what sense? He’s an actual professor


I feel like links to Jordan Peterson videos should be flagged. Watching just one will fill your You Tube recommendations with the worst sorts of hatred and idiocy.

That doesn’t mean the Jordan is wrong. But it does show what the people who like him tend to be in to.


“We need to hide opinions because people who agree with it might have other opinions”

No thanks.


That feels like the least charitable way to interpret what I said. I only want them flagged so that I can open them in Private Browsing. The real problems are that his videos are associated with much hatred and that the platform I need to access his videos on will then associate that hatred with me.

Can you give me a time stamp to the worst parts in your opinion? It’s rather long and it seemed JP rarely talked in it from my skimming.

EDIT: lol honestly asking, I don’t have an hour forty minutes to figure out which part is offensive


There are no parts.

I was pointing out that JP has trans feminists on his show. The idea that he is hateful is just fucking dillusional.


Ah, well that makes sense. Sarcasm missed. I’ll watch whole thing if I get a chance.
