A father figure for young conservative men

The thing is some of what he says isn't totally wrong. The problem is most of it is simply rehashing of old adages. So when he says "make your bed" I am not that impressed. So take personal responsibility and YOU get your life together by being organized. Or whatever other meanings you want to take from it.

How deep. how profound. I have never heard of that before? Mix in some witticisms with conservative victim complex (entirely based off a fabrication of his claim about what would happen to him over gender pronouns in Canada) and you have a father figure for young conservative men looking for simple answers to complex reality.

Some of his other stuff is just outright crazy. His implications that old civilizations knew about DNA possibly maybe "i'm not saying just saying" is ancient aliens quality.. His take on christianity is so convoluted and nonsensical and full of garbage I dont even want to touch it.

If you want to be told you are the victim and the lefties are so bad and listening to JP makes you think you are smart go ahead but he isnt taken seriously outside of this victim group

It's easy to bemoan someone when you've the time to 'hear' it all. Most people are too busy just working 9-5 jobs, some taking care of kids as well to worry about everything. Others just watch because he thinks inline with them or maybe learn something they've never heard of before. Whatever the case, free lectures imo. I know I wouldn't personally pay for it but many others will gladly do so.

I was wondering what you were referring to in Canada and noticed it was something about Bill C-16 where people claim you can be fined/jailed for using the wrong pronouns. That isn't the case from an article I found:
https://factcheck.afp.com/no-canadians-cannot-be-jailed-or-fined-just-using-wrong-gender-pronoun

Would it be fair to say he's a more tame Alex Jones? Some of the stuff he says I agree with to some extent and it's just fun having him battle it out with feminists and other hokey pokey folks.

I think conservative ideals are more taking on responsibility instead of blaming everyone else or asking handouts when something doesn't go your way. A little help is fine but the general idea is to not be dependent on them wherein the laziness starts to creep in.

Why are you citing a fake "fact checker" (most are)? This is an amendment to Human Rights legislation, which regularly fines people for all sorts of thought crimes. One got far more international coverage (including the Guardian) than inside Canada. This one doesn't mention the fines others have recieved.

No Woman Should Be Forced to Give a Troll a Brazilian Bikini Wax https://reason.com/2019/07/23/jessica-yaniv-da-silva-brazilian-wax-balls/

Canada's human rights authorities are currently considering whether the country's gender equality law requires a Brazilian waxing business that only takes female customers to perform the service on a trans woman who possesses male genitalia.

According to The Toronto Sun, Yaniv appeared at a British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal hearing last week to press her case against Marcia Da Silva, who had advertised Brazilian waxing services for women on Facebook. Da Silva initially agreed to serve Yaniv, but canceled the appointment after she learned that Yaniv possesses male genitalia. Yaniv calls this discrimination against trans women, and has brought similar complaints against more than a dozen female-only Brazilian waxing businesses.

Yaniv got into a nasty Twitter fight with Lindsey Shepherd, a free speech activist known for her informal associations with Jordan Peterson. As a result, Twitter permanently banned Shepherd for mis-gendering Yaniv.

The damages to these women have been considerable, including stress and depression; at least one woman was forced to close her business. Another, a single mother who worked out of her home, paid Yaniv $2,500 to withdraw the complaint so that she could escape the expense of further litigation. Some of the women Yaniv targeted were immigrants. And as if there weren’t enough reasons to be suspicious of Yaniv, some of his comments on social media have seemed strikingly xenophobic. On Facebook, as “Jonathan,” Yaniv posted:

We have a lot of immigrants here who gawk, judge and aren’t the cleanest of people, they’re also verbally and physically abusive, that’s one reason I joined a girl’s gym, cause I DON’T want issues with these people . . . They lie about sh[**], they’ll do anything to support their own kind and make things miserable for everyone else.

It gets worse still. Yaniv is also “seeking permission” from a Canadian local council “to hold three ‘topless’ swims for people ages 12 and up, and parents would be barred from attending,”the Daily Caller reports. This swim would be for children who identify as LGBTQ2S+ and would include topless girls.

Victim group? Have you been paying attention? Who does the cancelling? The rioting? Burning? Looting? Destroying statues? Who has ruined the universities and the mainstream news media? Who are the science deniers who have us all in useless masks? Not conservatives.

[–] djangounlamed (1769) 4 years ago

Yes man fox is the pinnacle of news. Christian and right wing universities of education....

SJWs are deranged and should be banned on MC!

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

No.

I often disagree with wokes, but I think they should have the right to express their bullshit.

[–] McQualude (4231) 3 years ago

As I wrote in another post, JP is 70% interesting and 30% conservative BS. The conservative speaking circuit pays for his enormous drug habit so you understand why he does it.

[–] Martoto (4172) 3 years ago

Young conservatives are the ones who tend to search for new daddys.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

Young conservatives are the ones who tend to search for new daddys.

Then they do the right thing. If the society has failed in providing a set of good values, looking up to high quality people like Peterson as role models is a wise behavior.

[–] Martoto (4172) 3 years ago

Someone telling you what to do is not a role model.

And we're talking about young adults here. People needing a new daddy at that age can't blame society. Particularly the types of already sheltered conservatives we're talking about.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

Someone telling you what to do is not a role model.

Bullshit. The parents are the first role models any person is gonna have and (if they're good parents) they'll spend your childhood telling you what to do and what not to do.

And we're talking about young adults here. People needing a new daddy at that age can't blame society's.

Actually, they can. They can't choose their role models when they're kids. Once they become young adults and they're free to search and choose, if they fail to find good role models, then it's their fault.

For example, you just start to insult and try to humiliate people out of the blue in the threads about Peterson. Several times in the last hour:

You obviously lack proper education and values. Since you don't seem to be a young adult anymore, and you failed to find good role models, now it's your fault.

[–] Martoto (4172) 3 years ago

That's because parents are responsible for their children. My parents didn't have to tell me what to do beyond the age of 16. When I became responsible. That's why young adults looking for new daddys are the problem.

If this offends you or you feel insulted by it, run to your daddy and have him tell you what to do.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

That's because parents are responsible for their children. My parents didn't have to tell me what to do beyond the age of 16.

That's because they already did when you were a children. Given your abusive pattern of behavior, they obviously failed.

Of course, you could have looked for additional role models after 16 to compensate the inadequate education your parents provided. You didn't, which means your lack of good values is now your own fault.

If this offends you or you feel insulted by it, run to your daddy

My father was an abuser who I haven't talked in years. I was half "adopted" by the family of my best friend and it was his father who became my role model. As a kid, you can't choose. As a young adult, it's your time to choose your role models. If needed, you have the freedom to do so... and the responsibility to do it.

[–] Martoto (4172) 3 years ago

If searching for a new daddy is something you identify as a virtue, then how can you feel "abused" by me describing young conservatives this way.

So you're saying that everyone needs to have had inadequate parenting so that they have a need to search for new daddys into adulthood, because that's a good thing? Or is it just young conservatives that need new daddys you applaud?

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

If searching for a new daddy is something you identify as a virtue, then how can you feel "abused" by me describing young conservatives this way.

I don't feel "offended". I'm just stating that the behavior you're trying to shame (looking for adequate role models if you didn't have them before) is actually the right and wise behavior.

[–] Martoto (4172) 3 years ago

But you said I insulted you. And you are taking offense. Otherwise we wouldn't be speaking.

So do all young conservatives have inadequate parents as children. Is that what you're saying?

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

But you said I insulted you.

I haven't said you insulted me. I linked recent comments where you were insulting Peterson or young conservatives. I'm neither Peterson, young or conservative.

And you are taking offense.

Read again my comment two comments above.

So you're saying that everyone needs to have had inadequate parenting so that they have a need to search for new daddys into adulthood [...] So do all young conservatives have inadequate parents as children. Is that what you're saying?

So you finally started with the "so you're saying" loop 😂😂😂

[–] Martoto (4172) 3 years ago

"Is that what you're saying?" is a question.

"So you're saying." is a statement.

End of lesson.

[–] Threadkiller (2952) 3 years ago

He's a daddy figure for young Alt Lite - Alt Reich white dudes if we're being completely honest. A lot of his talking points placate to their irrational victim complex.

[–] jewoogle (2269) 3 years ago

he is some canadian nerd no real conservative younge men look up to him unless they are beta boys
