Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

MODERATORS
Only real men who have their house in order, at the peak of human intelligence, grift the most mentally unstable, and attack the most vulnerable, members of society; get addicted to benzos and fly to Russia to be put in a medically induced coma to avoid enduring the consequences of their actions, ostracise themselves professionally, then spend the rest of their lives a talking head for the right wing propaganda machine.
You're just to woke to understand his genius...
Hi, woke moralist here. Please reconsider framing addiction as a moral failing. It's a disease.
Jordan Peterson announces he's launching a new scam.
It’s better to do something badly than to not do it at all.
His own quote. I can't make this shit up.
I think he should take up skydiving.
What's wrong with this quote? Trying at something and failing is better than never trying at all.
He isn't saying to do something and fail at it, but to do something and do a terrible job at it is better than to have never done it. You're conflating what he said with sayings like "It is better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all."
Depends on what it is. Failure can cause harm to others. Do we want bad safety inspectors, cops, or educators?
We’re already doing that with cops
Doing bad safety inspections is still better than doing none at all tho...
Soft disagree, if you know that no inspection has been done, then you are aware that there may be unknown risks and act accordingly. A safety inspection done poorly creates a false sense of security that can be dangerous.
Trying at something and failing is better than never trying at all.
Sure you wanna say that about parachuting?
I dunno. I think it's better not to attempt genocide, fascism, bullying, propaganda, etc etc etc. No matter how good you are at it.
A new age of anti-intellectualism awaits us.
The new age of anti-intellectualism persists. Continues. Stubbornly endures.
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, open their own university and grift people.
Haven't we already tried Trump U and Praeger U?
This is just one more embarrassment for the conservative movement.
The former psychology professor vowed the program would be 95% less expensive than a typical university.
Not that hard when I look at what the hell American universities cost.
Grifters gonna grift.
Cool, well, HR software can add a filter for his university so apps get auto rejected.
Grifters gonna grift.
Now the right is devaluing the word university. SMH…
They've been doing that for a long time.
PragerU has been infecting education since its inception and is now having its propaganda adopted by right wingers as official course material in genuine schools.
Trump University was disbanded in 2010.
Brigham Young has been around well over a century, started by an outspoken racist shitbag and still having extreme right wing and racist policies and views today.
They know full well that controlling and infecting education is the only way to breed sufficient amounts of people dumb and prejudiced enough to vote for their side.
It's why cutting public education has been a number 1 target for the right wing since forever.
Yes - it’s important to remember that these guys don’t want public anything .
They sometimes hide it behind economics, but it’s ideological.
jordan peterson cooking up a whole new type of idiot. can't wait to see the first cohort of freethinkers launch a series of startups based on stuff like reselling the breadsticks from olive garden
The dorm room policy is gonna be strict af

I thought he did this 5 years ago, and then never heard anything of it again. Was that a fever dream, or did he fail to find his blackjack and hookers?
I think back then he was going to create an alternative to Patreon.
I think it was before that, but after publishing lists of U of T faculty he wanted his incel army to harass and threaten.
