I’ve noticed something weird about this guy and the reactions toward him, especially on this board. It seems that people fall into one of two camps:
>People actually watch/read what the guy has to say and love him but can accept he’s not the end all be all on certain topics >People are disseminated some fake version of his teachings by a second hand source like a news outlet or youtube celebrity and have nothing to say except some reduction of his work like “clean your room is something we all know” even though he himself has openly said he teaches things you all know but through the lens of Jungian psychology
I agree. He's not perfect, but its clear he cares about and means what he says.
Samuel Ward
I listened to a couple of his "early" talks, all I remember is that He was trying to sell less a hick version of american circus gospel while high on... fuckever it was until He got brain damage.
Chase Martinez
>dude just eat meat lmao
Michael Reed
>While high on
He didn’t take drugs until his wife got sick though, and he definitely wasn’t high while teaching in class in those “early talks”
Michael Allen
CLEAN YOUR PENIS AND WASH YOUR ROOM, BUCKO! ALSO, DON'T FORM TRIBES!
Daniel Nelson
Yes.
Gavin Parker
Does he actually tell people to clean their penis or is that just a meme?
Christian Thomas
I only eat beef and salt AND I *NEVER* CHEAT!!
Lincoln Roberts
He has nothing to say but retarded liberal pablum
Ryan Cooper
>Dude just prove OPs point
It’s the second part of the OP, a meme reduction by people who don’t actually watch/read the guys work, very likely fans of zoomer shit like H3
Alexander Evans
>media portrays them as a spacker, unfortunately most people believe this
>actually listen to them first hand, they make a lot of sense
Literally the case for most people considered controversial
Caleb Davis
>dude lamb gave my retarded daughter super powers lmao
Juan Robinson
i fucking hate his take on ssri's and anti-depressants other than that i like how he talks about myths and archetypes which is basically jung-for-dummies
Camden Davis
Not a fan of junkies, sorry
Michael Reyes
>dude I'm a self-help guru but for chuds and incels No thanks
Carson Fisher
This dude is addicted to pills. He need to wash his penis
John Diaz
Well, then stop listening to your whore mother bucko
He put out a guide for penile health in uncircumcised men. He says you should have a separate toothbrush for scrubbing under your foreskin and you need to use liberal amounts of baking soda and vinegar and after 6 minutes of scrubbing just sponge it down with some ordinary shower gel and warm water. This was great advice and really helped me get past having cheese and fungus etc growing down there, also I can go for a pee now without almost passing out from the smell. It’s been a game changer
Juan Peterson
It comes from his 'clean your room' message where he says that to change the world you should better yourself rather than go around being a retarded bloodlusting activist who is also a shit person. So retarded bloodlusting activists invented that meme.
Daniel Gutierrez
I swear even professional journalists do this. JP produces too many hours of content so the journo goes "fuck that noise" and they just read whatever critique floats on top, copy that and roll with it pretending you know what you're talking about.
Colton Wood
>all these braindead leftists proving OPs point
Jaxon Johnson
>Dude just eat twinkies all day and wonder where your health problems stem from
He’s not a junkie
>Unironically using chud and incel as a barb at Peterson
So you being a leftie means you support pedophelia then?
He's a dumb leaf, but I really don't get why people think he's a "nazi"
Isaiah Lee
there is also a third one
>national socialists who wanted to go beyond his meager teachings, founded /sig/, told everyone to collectivize and proceed towards a white supremacy position
this peterson retard probably doesnt even have noporn. With us the christian noporn/nosex/nofap are common and enforced. We may not have many as compared to peterson who follow us, but our brightest stars shine much brighter than his.
Exactly. You aren’t going to change the world. What you can do is lead a happy fulfilled life and change your piece of the world.
Enough people do that, and the world changes.
Matthew Rogers
He's a pseud.
Josiah Hughes
He literally told people not to eat vegetables or take vitamins you retard
Levi Reyes
He’s a junkie faggot
John Gonzalez
So you've noticed Any Forums and Any Forums in general is inhabited mainly by faggots? Good job OP. Get yourself a cookie.
Jaxson Hughes
I thought he was kinda smart until I saw him vs vastly more sophisticated fraudster Slavoj Zizek
Xavier Campbell
What else do you expect, unironically? The average zoomer retard watches shit like Hasan Piker
Nathan Wilson
he thinks the kekistanis were funny and took a bunch of pictures with them. are those guys still around?
but he won't "name the jew", so the far-right hates him too
Evan Sullivan
I am a neonazi, I don't respect him either because he's a benzo addict
Joshua Morales
>national socialists Lmao no thanks
Matthew Lewis
ultra based fuck peterstein
Anthony Morris
He is anti white So i dont like him
Adrian James
>I’m not a dietician so don’t listen to me, this is just what works for me
That was almost the exact quote. Again, it seems the only criticisms people have are inflated, untrue, or both
Bentley Ramirez
Every time a retarded lefty gets called out, the story changes to >but I’m actually le nazi and peterstein is le jew Sure you are
Christian Ortiz
I literally started doing keto because of jp so take that
Ryder Johnson
>our brightest stars shine much brighter than his. Jordan Peterson has a lot of successful and famous people endorsing him. Who is your best and brightest member?
Jose Wilson
Why does he have such a huge following? And who exactly are his fans? Incels?
Easton Peterson
That's not even unique to Jordan Peterson, that's like 99% of all online discourse. Everyone has to share their two cents about every little thing, regardless of how informed they are on a topic.
He's so non-confrontational seeing him characterized the way he is often is baffling. Marvel portrayed him as Red Skull for example, what the fuck is that? And people flip out over him suggesting people clean their rooms. Or they post that picture where he's in a messy office ignoring the fact that this was in the middle of his wife's CANCER treatment. Or I've seen people try to criticize people who follow his sound advice with "Ha! What's a matter user? You didn't have a daddy? How pathetic you need one now!" And it's like, dude lots of people really did grow up without a single positive male role model and some ridiculously high number of prison inmates grew up without a father (I think it's like 86%.) The amount of women who have daddy issues is staggering. So yes, a lot of people need a fucking daddy, and if he's not trying to start a cult or giving bad advice, then good on him for trying to help and good on them for trying to be better people.
Jace Thompson
>nooo you can't shitpost it'll prove that guy right on a Chinese cartoons imageboard
don't be such a fucking faggot user
Bentley Long
since its anonymous. I cannot say much. But those people that endorse him, did he help them out of their misery? Or did they simply were successful and decided to give him a "like"?
Owen Peterson
idk see
Jose Howard
>I’m not a dietician but I’m still gonna lecture you for an hour about my whore daughters super powers and why I don’t brush my teeth
Matthew Stewart
>Why does he have such a huge following? And who exactly are his fans? Incels? You can literally say this about any figure head. Even your boy Zizek
Kayden Nguyen
dude is a fucking moron and a fraud who rose to fame by peddling scaremongering and misinformation about a canadian bill that was about to be passed
David Reyes
I suppose people were fond of his psychology lectures since they were inherently interesting and explained things about humans that were generally useful. Then he has the 12 rules book fans, who took them to heart and made their lives better. Then theres the weinsteins, sam harris, etc. fans who liked him as a part of that troupe. Then theres the joe rogan fans who liked his podcasts. Theres theres the poltards who liked him owning libs in debates and interviews.
Luis Clark
I've listened to him talk, he's an incredibly angry, reactionary guy who hides his bad opinions and desperation to be famous behind a wall of "aw shucks" posturing and faux-intellectualism.
Nathaniel Moore
His main stated goal is to keep whites atomised
Mason Cook
waddup tranny
Nathan Bell
Lmao this, retard thought his gums were bleeding because he ate some bread
Jayden Jones
not a tranny but dude straight up made shit up and retards gobbled it all up because of muh tranny boogeyzir
Jackson Morgan
>recommends young, impressionable males to prioritise keeping things neat and tidy above all else >nothing comes between keeping your room clean and your dick washed >creates an entire generation of men with crippling anxiety if anything is out of place, perfectionism at all costs
hmmmm, willing to bet Kermits teachings are gonna lead to some intense neurosis in later life
Nathan Evans
>So retarded bloodlusting activists invented that meme. christ get a sense of humor why dont you?
Adrian Gomez
I simple don't give a fuck about ecelebs period. I don't need a surrogate father figure.
Cooper Hill
pill popper and cock washer who sounds like kermit on dialysis
I don't care much for the guy but I've never had a problem with his messages. He's not the end all be all of intellectuals but he achieved some mainstream success thanks to his lectures. In terms of actually being a "controversial" figure, I can't see how that could be the case, since he's not really that type of person. At most, he could be considered controversial for not following some of the same advice he preaches.
Xavier Ortiz
he's a smart man but he's still a boomer who attempts to apply boomer solutions to modern problems. he tells young men to work their asses off in order to reap the rewards without realizing that there are simply no rewards to be had. society is collapsing and he hasn't really comprehended it yet. it's not his fault, he's just from a different generation trying to pass on the advice that worked for him. but anyone who takes his self-help shit seriously needs a fucking reality check.
Noah Bailey
I listen to his stuff but imagine it's Kermit the frog speaking on account of they sound the same. It gives the content a whole new lease.
Adrian Wright
>cries
Adam Mitchell
This is probably the dumbest take I’ve ever seen. If anything the shifting cultural paradigm towards hedonism, hollywood worship, and cutting dicks off is far more likely to cause mass cultural neurosis of normal men
Tyler Sanchez
kek
Colton Phillips
>In terms of actually being a "controversial" figure, I can't see how that could be the case, since he's not really that type of person. The guys a fucking junkie!!!
Alexander Ortiz
He said people who like Hitler and totalitarianism are effeminate-minded and weak, I disagree with that so I dislike him. I've listened to some of his interviews and lectures and I disagree with him about a number of things. I'm not a faggot, you can believe whatever you want. He hates tribal politics (which means he hates white people) like and said
Isaac Ramirez
Get a job incel
Hunter Martin
>poltards who liked him the guy who confronts him during one of his speeches with one of solzhenitsyn's books where the names the jew was pretty funny
James Davis
>he thinks the kekistanis were funny and took a bunch of pictures with them I doubt even 10% of the people who call him a nazi on twitter even know who the "kekistanis" are, though. So it has to be for some other reason.
Ofc the guy never read the book since it's not that special. It's just a factual retelling of jew faction actions during a period and everyone considers it to be levelheaded and reasonable book.
