Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion

[Bob Kelso]

Incels can't really make up that big of a percentage of his audience. I'm not super familiar with him really, other than his name seems to be in the zeitgeist, so to speak, but I don't think there are enough if them to make a book a best seller or make someone so popular.

I also don't think there is anything wrong with being anti-PC unless you are also a racist. Political correctness is just another way of trying to censor people.

Perhaps I should have clarified that I don’t think these are his only audiences (one would imagine he would appeal to conservatives as well for instance). I just happen to think they’re a key part given his own views.

No, nothing particularly wrong about being anti-pc to me. Hell I hold my own anti-pc views. Like most things it’s a broad area, and whether they’re a dick or not depends on the person and their reasoning. As I said above I think they’re a key factor in his target audience.

To back up why I think they’re a large part of his audience: *hidden to prevent the Great Wall O’text*

Look up Jordan Peterson pronoun law, basically he misinterprets an inclusivity bill that includes transgender folk under the umbrella of a protected class thinking it would force him to use alternate pronouns and infringing on his speech. From what I undertand it doesn’t do that at all but I’m willing to bet it garnered him quite the anti-pc following in much the same way Trump did.

My reaction comes down to taking issue with someone who is classing up his shit values to seem reasonable and reach a larger audience.
