Because people on Lemmy will be inspired to take his "university" courses? I doubt it.

That isn’t what I meant. If you are in a room full of a thousand people and one person in the back, the loudest, is shouting hate, why would you listen to it and then announce it to others

Because that 'one person in the back' influences a huge number of people. Are you really suggesting Jordan Peterson has no influence?

He is a nobody. But sure, continue to put his message out there. Good job bud!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

How is he a nobody? He has a massive following. We're nobodies here on Lemmy. He is not.

[-] ViewSonik@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

I wonder why he is continuing to gain followers?! People must be sharing his messages everywhere… hmmm. How could this be?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You really think he will gain followers from a post on Lemmy? Have you ever been on Lemmy?

[-] ViewSonik@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

There are people in this thread that have never heard of this person and even though you are against this person’s values and their beliefs, you are sharing his message and gaining followers for him, even on Lemmy. Everyone on Lemmy doesn’t believe the exact same thing even though people like you actually believe that they do. If you would just ignore him, you wouldn’t be helping his cause by spreading his message. Everyone is entitled to free speech, but you have to remember everyone is entitled to ignore them.

I have not seen anyone who has never heard of him. He's really well-known.

He’s not, he is a nobody. But now Im repeating myself to you. Lets just part ways friend, its clear you disagree with my point.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
