[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’ve ever watched Peterson being interviewed or participating in a debate then you’d know he’s sharp as a tack and can back up his ideas with facts. He’s a courageous man who hasn’t shoes away from thorny issues and isn’t afraid of resisting the woke bullshit. I don’t necessarily agree with him on all things but he’s a valuable voice in the discussion. And he makes many people on the ideological left uncomfortable because he lays bare their groupthink idiocy. [/quote]

I think some of what he says is completely stupid (the characterization of chaos/order thing comes to mind) but some of what he says has value. I suppose I'm on the "left" but I'm not threatened by what he says. Instead, I'd like to think about it and potentially integrate it.

I think more people on the "left" should listen to him with an open mind - without the automatic mindset to find things to refute. It's good to listen to different viewpoints and he's definitly not a stupid person. It's okay to disagree but at least disagree with your own thoughts, not someone else's thoughts. I wouldn't call him anti-feminist either. More like he wants people to stand on their own feet, regardless of how they identify.[/quote]
