I wouldn't even consider them journalism or news, they are an advocacy group.
yeah

“ Former Vatican ambassador says Popes Francis,Benedict knew of sexual misconduct allegations against McCarrick for years “ by Chico Harlan, Stefano Pitrelli and Michael Boorstein on Washington Post
^Benedict did know about McCarrick, HOWEVER, Benedict actually took strong actions against it. Francis revoked literally all of the sanctions that Benedict had put on McCarrick. That's a big important detail to just leave out. They're lumping them together to make it seem like they both did nothing. Benedict did his job, Francis didn't. And they try to sugarcoat that.

"So no, the left isn’t afraid of Jordan Peterson, the left is annoyed with him. The left is tired of a grifter taking advantage of angry, lonely, people and filling their heads with hateful rhetoric. "
Apparently cleaning your room is hateful rhetoric
Guess it's hateful to people who didn't have fathers
'walk with your shoulders forward and your head up'
Makes me feel like a racist.
A confident, hateful racist.
They hate people taking responsibility and self improvement
Of course they hate peterson
Got a good exerpt from the article these letters are about
The young men voted for Hillary, they called home in shock when Trump won, they talked about flipping the House, and they followed Peterson to other podcasts—to Sam Harris and Dave Rubin and Joe Rogan. What they were getting from these lectures and discussions, often lengthy and often on arcane subjects, was perhaps the only sustained argument against identity politics they had heard in their lives.
Because all of this was happening silently, called down from satellites and poured in through earbuds—and not on campus free-speech zones where it could be monitored, shouted down, and reported to the appropriate authorities—the left was late in realizing what an enormous problem it was becoming for it. It was like the 1960s, when kids were getting radicalized before their parents realized they’d quit glee club. And it was not just college students. Not by a long shot.
Lobsters are the invertebrates of the Alt-Right
You know, it is kinda funny that saying "you'll paint congress red" could mean a massacre, filling it with communists or Republicans, or literally painting them red.
I can't tell... Is the Atlantic there actually saying listening to Jordan Peterson and company something to report to university authorities?
@Blackhawk342 And now, having realized their mistake, they are going on all cylinders to prevent it from happening again.
@RyeNorth The Atlantic is just posting reader letters here. I'm not sure it's necessarily an endorsement.
That said, I fully expect Uni Bias Reponse Teams very much think it is. We've seen what happened to Lindsey Shepard simply showing a clip "neutrally"
Who were these letters to/from?
Speaking of which, how dystopian is it that you can be reported for wrongthink on a *college campus*
I didn't read articles. At work.
Readers. News magazines usually will have short response letters from readers on the first couple of pages.
It's like short form letters to the editor.
How they pick the letters to show is anyone's guess. But they do it presumably to get other opinions.
They'll also do it on most articles.
@Grenade123 your joke at the end, its usually more likely people who enjoy petersons advice lack a strong father figure (and are aware of the harm this has done), as most of the better parts he teaches engulf things that said father figure would of usually bestowed
...im nitpicking but wanted to ad that since i fall into aforementioned camp
my joke was because that is the only group i could think it might be really offensive too
its all good
and since you claim to fall into that category, further enhance the joke, because its the people who would find it "hateful" who are also most likely to find resonance with it.
we all know the left doesn't help people
they get equal by pulling people down, not lifting people up
reeee im not in joke mood, it was just a niggle lol... I couldn't preface it in a joke, people who reject the idea of a strong male role-model for one yes, but tbh i think in general its just people who don't want to have to quantify why they believe what they believe (its intent or values, if its right or wrong to certain degrees) out of the far left-wing or post-modern narratives he challenges...if somebody challenges you hard enough its easier to just role your eyes and dismiss them
...i dono i just wish peterson didn't become such a 'meme', maybe its important he did though for some reason i can't see. I like all the intellectual darkweb guys pinker, harris, haidt, weinstein, saad etc and before them felt very sucked dry of interesting opinions for the last decade, atleast i feel when i was a kid more of these views were allowed to be broadcasted on TV, atleast the internet replaced it with something better once TV gave up the ghost
/sperg off
i wish the left leaning identities would realize that if you deal in collectives, you are inherently racist. You can only not be racist if you believe in equality at the individual level.
yup
“ Media loses its mind when DeSantis says ‘monkey it up’ but was silent when Obama said it”
DeSantis used the word monkey in the same context as Obama. He was referring not to race, but to screwing up Florida’s economy with socialism. Fake news media is at it again.
