Presumably because nobody wants to watch a rambling 20 minute video where we incredibly agonizingly slowly get around to proving Jordan Peterson isn't that bad because a person of color supports him.
Here's a radical take he's an annoying talking head who is by turns educated and either uninformed or deceptive about the issues he's trying to spin out of control. What he isn't is worth attending to. The same can be said of this video. The downvotes aren't for wrongthink they are for the vastly more serious crime, on the internet at least, of being boring.
- throwaway894345 5y agoDang. I’m no great JP fan—he’s certainly controversial—but I’ve found him reliably interesting in the handful of videos I’ve seen. To each his own.
- waheoo 5y agoHe's really not controversial though? All of his "controversy" I manufactured in hit pieces that misquote and take things out of context to push a narrative that isnt based on objective reality.
- getlawgdon 5y agoJordan Peterson is a complete charlatan. It's quite a spectacle to watch suckers lose their minds to his otherwise easily detectable hocus pocus.
- prestigious 5y agoA charlatan in what sense? He’s an actual professor
- waheoo 5y agoExcept linking this video has fuck all to do with Jordan Peterson. It was about how black people have been calling out BLM for years and you fuckers refuse to even acknowledge them. Instead you focus on whatever name you have decided you hate.
