      Shaun Somma the truth does this to people who play political games instead of working for their people that they don’t represent. I love that honesty is something people still respect. This guy is smart but more important he’s always a great example of how to be true to yourself and he has the decency to not just talk shit and be a parrot for anyone who is childish and angry regardless of “side”

      It depends on the topic. He says a lot of provocative things and makes most of his good points in ways that are easily misunderstood by people on both sides of whatever issue he's talking about pretty often. Other times he's flat out wrong, or makes a nonsensical argument, and often the data/research he uses to make claims is insufficient, hence why so many people call him a hack.
      He tends to use buzzwords like "radical left" but never clarifies what he actually means, so people make assumptions, which are usually wrong. Usually when he says the word radical, he's talking about authoritarian perspectives, like restricting free speech, which has nothing to do with right or left. It just so happens that people who claim to be left are the ones he's disagreeing with at the time, because there's a vocal minority that pushes for such things. He also tends to ignore the radical positions of those on the right, which makes him appear more biased than he probably is in actuality.
      Personally, I think that's pretty far from sensible, regardless of his actual stance on things (usually his actual stance IS pretty sensible, but he goes around provoking others).

Whelps. You won’t be killed for speaking your mind.
      However your very party you so cling to life for is in fact against open and free speech. They are for the eradication of rights purely in name of the majority. Ironically it’s not even the majority that stands to gain by anything the left says or does.
      Your points are weak and your failure to not look inward and fix your own parties problems before you dare to speak up against another shows the public the types of people whom catered to the extremely socialist views of the current Democratic Party.

      Even when he debated with the gay Steven Fry he descended into an effeminate mess of tears and Fry said afterwards that Jordan asked him for a hug and a “deep tissue” massage. I’m that sense he is certainly a “man’s man”.

      One of the big things that pisses me off about Trump is that he pushes people away from voting right wing.
      He lost this election far more than Biden won it. People voting for Biden were voting against Trump, and Trump's attention seeking has been like a smokescreen for the radical right and left to maneuver politically.
      Basically, Trump can fuck off in my opinion. He basically accelerated the process that you're speaking of on college campuses, making it even harder to dissent in favor of conservatism, or at least bringing liberalism and conservatism into balance on college campuses.

      @@variablevolume3059 It's getting worse, and Donald Trump reduced the credibility of conservatism to center-left academics, making it even easier for the radical left to take over universities.
      That's what I really hate about Trumpism. He not only is anti-conservative in that he discredits the institutions that he's supposed to embody, but by doing things like that he discredits conservatism as a whole to the people that we most desperately need to convince of the value of conservatism.
      And I don't mean to say that in a way that conservatism is inherently better: I think center left and center right is a great boundary for great ideas to be developed, and right now we're nowhere close to that, and worst of all, a lot of conservative principles have little attention in American politics, like aesthetics. I.e. see Roger Scruton's work.
      I am registered as an independent, but I'm contemplating registering as a Republican sooner than later so that I can vote against Trump in the Republican primary in 2024, should he campaign to run again.

Donald trump is seemingly progressive and he has only pandered to christians while saying homosexuality is fine. Donald trump isn't the greatest man. I was 13 when I knew of him as a politician which is the only position I have seen him in 2016 since I saw of course polarizing teachers disliking him I think I voted for him because I thought it would be funny to make fools angry and I was a class clown the jester the troll. I either made someone or everyone laugh at me or with me and both. But Im not surprised to know now that I'm 20 that Donald trump isn't the best candidate for Republican.

      Yes and no. Hillary was in some ways the 'incumbent'. She led the incumbent party, she had been in power with her husband previously and she'd been part of the incumbent government. So, she was a largely known quantity. In a way, the election was a referendum on the incumbent party and she sold herself poorly. However, it's not enough to be anti-incumbent. The challenger has to sell him or herself as credible. Trump sold himself as a credible alternative. A man who could get things done. So, Hillary gave Trump an opening, but he exploited it.

      He was proscribed a certain anti depressant which is highly physically addictive. Also, the medicine had an adverse effect on his well being, aggravating his condition to the point of suicidal thoughts. He has been fighting his depression for years. It seem to run in his family. The prospect of loosing his wife was simply to much to bare.
      So he basically had a couple of close brushes with death itself in Russia, battling the physical and mental damage of the medicine and pneumonia.
      He is recovering and doing less bad, but has to deal with neurological damage.

    What I enjoy about Jordan Peterson most of all is his ability to think analytically, not emotionally. I think so much of the reason that we consider nations like the U.S. to be so 'polarized' is that so much of media now is motivated by emotion rather than actually taking a moment to consider what has just happened. In other words, knee jerk reaction headlines and reporting that is really supporting reactionary thinking. In Canada, Peterson seems to infuriate most of the Canadian media representatives because he always thinks and speaks analytically and this goes against the current concept of what we call 'news'.

He is using DSM5 meaning of (agreeable/disagreeable) which is someone who stands up for what he believes more likely (but not always) than caves in to compromise. Disagreeable is not a bad trait, but many politicians tend to be agreeable according to Jordan (at least they act like that on the exterior even if disagreeable behind the scenes) but Trump is more authentic (my opinion) in showing his real side to people which (even if he does have negotiation tactics that he is not sharing).

      But it’s very different to live through it in real-time as a child, with no idea if we would be killed in an instant, what was going to happen next, and if the world was going to end before I could see my family again and say goodbye. What we ran from, saw, heard, smelled, and experienced as we pushed through crowds and ran for our lives from the collapsing towers-the first, then the second-as we tried to get home with police stopping us at every way in and bloody, ash-covered bodies running past us-has become common knowledge in the past decade. The teacher spoke up: “That reminds me. Gamely, I lifted my legs over my head, and suddenly pffft! I didn’t have time to even think about holding it in: The rogue toot reverberated throughout the studio. I began panicking, wondering how I would get home to my apartment building on the other side of the Towers where my elderly grandparents also lived. Each one of us, about ten in a group, has to swim beside a boat. It was my first-ever yoga class: 90 minutes for beginners at the Y. Give up! Come on, get in the boat!”
      On the third lap, I start to get delirious. Yogis can have a sense of humor. As the stink lingered, I was mortified; the source was pretty obvious to all. On the second lap, the boys who had already given up yell at me from the boat, “Come on! You don’t need to do this. If at any point you need to give up, you get inside the boat.
      We start in. Then he jumps in the water and grabs me by the arm, and I think, It must be something dangerous because he’s trying to pull me out. Then, my neighbor and her 13-year-old son appeared in the doorway, arriving late for the day after an appointment, to walk me home. It’s smart to avoid eating for several hours before class.” I couldn’t wait to leave; who’s so Zen he can’t laugh off a fart?
      A mere eight years later, I finally found the guts to go to another class. But I look way out in front of me, about two football lengths, and I see other kids getting out of the water. My arms feel like spaghetti, and I almost can’t move anymore. I remember parents rushing in to pull out their children amid the chaos. Then he slaps me in the face and says, “N--, who told you that you could get in the pool?” I was 12 years old, sitting in school three blocks away from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, when the planes hit the twin towers. As I unrolled my mat, one joked, “Well, don’t sit next to us!” I grinned back, reveling in my full disclosure, and got ready for class. And then, dead silence. One time, I’m swimming in the deep end of the pool by myself, and I hear one of the lifeguards yell out, “You! You! Get outta that water! Get outta that water right now!” He is so frantic, I think there must be a snake or a snapping turtle. We left just minutes before the first tower collapsed. And it was actually going okay until about 20 minutes in, when it was time for a series of poses on our backs. I get out of the pool.
      One of the final activities at the camp is the mile swim.
      I’m an avid runner, and when you pass gas during a group run, there’s a collective laugh, and someone might call you out, but you keep on. Here, everyone - my disingenuous self included - looked around for the guilty party. Our teachers had us all gather in the cafeteria. I am the only black Boy Scout eligible to try out for it. As soon as we finish the first lap, half the boys have given up and gotten in the boat. I survived, but that morning was just the beginning of my trauma.
      I’m 11 years old. He’s trying to save me. Upon entering the studio, I immediately confessed to a few women: “This is the first time I’ve been to yoga since 2003, because last time, I farted.” Everyone cracked up. I knew nothing about the practice, so when the male instructor announced the poses, I was like, “What in the hell is warrior what?” I just wanted to release my type A tendencies while folding myself into a pretzel. Three laps around this big lake equals one mile.

    Yet he seems like a pretty sensible guy. Maybe less sensible in regard to his personal issues, but given that he has issues with his mental health, that's kind of to be expected. I'm in a similar boat, albeit the metaphorical weather is less extreme in my little world, when compared with his.
    But he seems like a very perceptive observer. He isn't anti-lgbt, as people have painted him. He certainly is no where near to being "alt right," whatever that specific label means these days. I'm not sure how people could watch his content, and move further right, to be honest. It doesn't make much sense to me. He seems very centrist, but I guess that's people's problem with him.

Hence the fad diet. Hence the freaky Russian doctor situation. Etc. You can hear as much in his own lectures, in which he tells people to *not refuse* antidepressants, because if you're struggling with deep depression, then "you need to hold onto anything you can to keep going." Paraphrasing a bit, but you can go watch his lectures on depression if you want to understand that better.
      He doesn't actually talk politics much at all really. He is much more likely to focus on individuals and what they need to make their lives more palatable. When asked a politically loaded question as to what young people, who are still in education and concerned about the current state of the world, can do to make *big* changes.

    I think that Trump was underestimated and continues to be underestimated, because everyone focused on his words and not the actions. He worked to complete all his campaign promises during his Presidency and was more successful than the media gave him credit for.

      What did he accomplish? Wall? No. Replace healthcare? No. Get out of Afghanistan? No. He accomplished ZERO promises he campaigned on. His biggest claim to fame is the number of crimes his administration was convicted of. By a mile.
