shouldn't you wait a few more days since republicans imploded because sanders was politely asked to leave a restaurant before accusing libs of being sensitive snowflakes?
6/28/2018 12:41:46 PM
I...don't think you're making the point you think you're making.Republicans were pissed because someone kicked out an administration official and didn't like that.Republicans don't generally go to protests or write hit pieces to de-platform people. De-platforming people is really in the left's wheelhouse.

In this very thread, destroyer has called jews and women the real racists, and is now claiming that libruls have small brains.And he's doing all this to defend his daddy

Whoa, you got me all wrong dog. I also said that white male liberals are the real racists too.

I see the situation like this: Yes, (insert minority group) might "overreact" in the eyes of conservatives when people speak about these issues. This overreaction comes from a place of fear, as the words and actions of others directly effect their way of life and how they live in a profound way. A preacher saying homosexuals are an abomination and are damned to hell may lead someone to believe that they should hurt homosexuals bc they are demons. Of course almost none of the people that hear this preacher will go out and punch a gay guy, but even if 10 do, it effects people in a violent way. These people are by no means helpless but they do not have power over the situation and they are significantly outnumbered. This situation leads to people speaking out and protesting against events they see will effect their life. As a 30 something white male, negative words have very little effect on me. Someone could stand up and say "White men are an abomination and are going directly to HELL!". This would have almost zero effect on me because 1) there are millions of white men around me all the time and the odds of someone hurting me bc im a white male is slim and 2) the amount of people who are not white who would take this message and try to carry out an act is even smaller.Now when something happens that actually creates change and provides something to a group that is not the conservative majority of an area, we consistently see the conservative majority completely lose their shit. Theres no point posting pictures of people yelling at black kids going to high school or having dogs attach people for trying to eat some food bc we have all seen them. On a smaller scale, the government tried to collect tax money from a delinquent cattle rancher and people WENT CRAZY and had a stand off with the national guard. Of course all of these people had reasons for being upset but is their reaction any different than "liberals" protesting and writing shit to local newspapers? This quote perfectly sums it up

Kinda ironic bc the book that is making Peterson famous is a self help book for people who are completely broken. The majority of his fans are young white right leaning men. So I’d suggest the modern conservative movement is actually giving people a mental disorder.

^ In the book, "Origins of Totalitarianism," by Holocaust survivor and political theorist Hannah Arendt (I've mentioned her before on here), she writes that mass movements "can be expected only from the completely isolated human being who, without any other ties to family, friends, comrades, or even mere acquaintances, derives his sense of having a place in the world only from his belonging to a movement, his membership in the party"These guys cling to Jordan Peterson because they live their entire existence on the internet and have no concept of class consciousness and have no interest (because they're mostly white conservative men) of analyzing the overlaps between capitalism and racial/gender hierarchies. They are part of cultural majorities in a decaying capitalist system, and are desperately in search of answers as to why their cultural signifiers (being white/male/conservative) have not yielded the results they were expecting to receive.A few helpful reads for anyone interested:https://medium.com/@T_Coombes/6-vital-lessons-for-our-time-people-are-missing-from-hannah-arendt-482fb3081c4dhttps://literaturesalon.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/hannah-arendt-on-the-role-of-the-masses-in-mass-horrors/[Edited on June 29, 2018 at 1:28 PM.

I was going to post some stuff, but then I remembered that you would reply and I would need to reply to that. Instead, I'm just going to pull the old leftist copout of "it's not my job to educate you" and leave it at that. As an owner of the means of production of my own labor, through several iterations of collective bargaining with myself, it has been decided that any conversation with you is literally negative value to me and therefore not in the interest of the worker.
7/8/2018 5:08:17 PM
I was going to post some stuff.. Goes on to post some stuff.You poor fool. You are convinced that the left consists solely of feminists who won't fuck you (because why would they -- listen to yourself). You fail to see that there are actual straight white males that are a part of the left who see their struggle for material gains being completely in alignment with the struggle of their female and minority counterparts. They seek to break down the barriers that limit the gains of the rural "poor farmhands" that theDuke866 grew up with as well as the minority workers and workers in urban areas. It is in their best interests to be in alignment with these disparate factions, rather than in competition with them.You, on the other hand, seek the "wisdom" of some effeminate Canadian mincer who cries on the internet like a little bitch to rationalize why existing hierarchies need to be preserved, even though those same hierarchies are now beginning to crush straight white males just as they have been crushing females and minorities for decades.You have a choice to make. You can either wise the fuck up and realize that the system you've upheld for years is now consolidating power and freedom to a very small class of people (of which you do not belong), or you can continue to bend over backwards to support this system as we descend further and further into fascism.Unfortunately, I think I know which choice you'll make.Now go clean your room.

Again, I don't really know who Jordan Peterson is, but I read that link in its entirety, and what I don't understand is why the city council felt the need to reiterate, or assert that they had no part in the decision to let Mr. Peterson rent the DPAC.Are they worried that his mere presence in Durham will prevent their re-election?
7/10/2018 3:34:15 PM
I don’t see the point of preventing someone from speaking in a city.Maybe if the speech is about how they need to burn the building they’re in down.
7/11/2018 7:32:25 AM
Unless I'm mistaken, they're not preventing Jordan Peterson from speaking. It seems that the mayor and city council members were wanting to reaffirm their values to the people of Durham; I don't really see a problem with that.Jordan Peterson's response seems rather snowflakish, though.[Edited on July 11, 2018 at 8:19 AM. Reason : ]
7/11/2018 8:18:53 AM
Except they didn't just reaffirm their values - they went out of the way to say that JP was a racist, misogynist, etc. The town council said that about a person. That's pretty bold if you ask me.
7/11/2018 8:45:23 AM
As Ben Shapiro would say, fuck his feelings.
7/11/2018 8:47:37 AM

7/11/2018 8:50:44 AM
Well then that is a nothing story.
7/11/2018 9:22:58 AM
Citizens could make the connection that the city condones/supports his opinions by letting him speak at DPAC since the city owns it. I think they wanted to make clear they had no part in that decision and distance themselves from him in case of public backlash.
7/11/2018 11:48:03 AM
His prose reads like something every idiot online who tries to cloak their dumb confrontational opinions with an air of heightened intelligence aspire to, but almost always fall short of. TO WIT NOTWITHSTANDING MY SELF-AGGRANDIZING, FORTHRIGHT, AND IMPETUOUS DOUCHEBAGGERY I SHALL PERSEVERE OVER THE NAIVETE AND APPALLING MALEVOLENCE OF THOSE SELF-RIGHTEOUS IDEOLOGICALLY POSSESSED DIVERSITY PUSHERS WHO HAVE FEEBLY ATTEMPTED TO CASE ME INTO DISREPUTE!!

^lol, well done.after reading his drivel of a response, i'm not sure how anyone can take him seriously.
