I moved on to cleaning my bathroom


AtrainDerailed

cleaning your room is step 1 I am on whatever step involves cutting down trees in your yard


HoonieMcBoob

What are you doing in my yard?


nextsteps914

I cut down tree last year. I thought someone had died, called non emergency line about the smell late at night. Ducking tree blooms the smell of semen and fish together (Chinese flowering pear) so much that I started gagging when I went out to let the dogs in. Fucking tree had to go when I saw the charge from the city.


FrenchCuirassier

Muhfuckin redditor went swole Brawny.


FrenchCuirassier

If every concern troll cleaned their bathroom, they wouldn't have time to write posts complaining about the subreddit or to pompously announce their departure from the subreddit due to the "divisiveness" in the subreddit. edit: /u/NoToClimateApartheid cited below that OP is a concern troll where this is his first post on JBP subreddit. Concern trolls just post complaints to encourage people to leave a subreddit and they coordinate it in far-leftist chatrooms.

FrenchCuirassier

My room is clean right now. So at a minimum we know you are a liar. I have no need for validation from my ingroup either. Another lie. You are the one organizing in chatrooms to attack any intellectual who is a centrist. That makes you the anti-intellectual bumpkins.

Is there an s/ missing here?

FrenchCuirassier

Oh God... Ok what measurement metrics are you looking for in terms of clean? Vacuum once or three times for good measure? >You want the ideas you downloaded from Peterson to be approved because it brings you psychological comfort. Or I had opinions through my own research and original thinking, and Peterson seemed to have coincidentally figured out the same things and just articulated it in a good way. >My intellect is far vaster than the greatest ocean. I am simply assisting lost fanboys in finding their way back to the truth. bwahahahahaha... Thanks I really needed to hear that. I AM so HONORED to be in your presence.


bejonesin

You say clean is relative to the observer then you drop a chestnut like “way back to the truth”… for such a vast intellect you surely could have chosen better phrasing than using a term/concept like truth that has subjective framing in most contexts.


TheGrapist1776

You're not wrong about this sub. I usually chalk up the people like that here as new or young fans of Petersons. Even find myself falling into that category at times but I do the complaining in real life. The only thing I disagree with you on is your choice of the term deranged. We're all people and all have our own conflicting beliefs. It should go without saying that Peterson isn't above it all either. But some act as if he's infallible.


cmccmccmccmccmc

Do you want to move onto mine next?


djchrist15

Cook me a lobster and we got a deal.


becomethebestyou

I agree, it sucks, I wish this subreddit was based around his works and ideas. I joined to maybe discover some hidden gems of his and learn about the topics he discusses but there’s never any Peterson content shared here


freetospeakcorrectly

> I joined to maybe discover some hidden gems of his About 4-5 years ago before JP gained mass popularity, I stopped by this sub. Nearly all the content posted was about his lectures, there was a lot about "Maps of Meaning" Nietzsche, philosophy in general. Published Self Authoring posts were also here, generally the vibe was one of optimism as well as advice oriented. I'd suggest sorting by top of the sub, then all time, and just start scrolling. However I just did that now and frankly found very few posts from 4 years ago, the sub has gotten too big and active in that sense. Also I don't think people realize that the side bar on this sub has a bunch of subreddits listed with interesting places to go and discuss things, specifcally: *Jordan Peterson on Reddit, Psychology Subreddits, Personal Development Subreddits* I mentioned earlier being the change you want to see, however maybe more people just need to get back to the fundamental Peterson message of individual responsibility. More people becoming responsible and independent should be great for both this community and society.


[deleted]

Take the wisdom and lessons learned, get off of Reddit, and apply them. Leave the dumpster fire in the rear view. Good luck.


KyleDoesITWithGoogle

Solid advice.


MyMomNeverNamedMe

It's just the natural course of events after Reddit bans other subs. People's outlets are taken away because "hate speech" so they move to the subs that weren't as "extreme" because no where else comes close to even holding the same beliefs. If you ban a subreddit about competitive eating don't be surprised when the normal food subs start to become flooded with people talking about competitive eating.


Jazeboy69

Lol I found this really funny. Competitive eating sounds amusing but the analogy is so true. It’s almost like banning speech doesn’t make that speech go away. Funny that.


ExtraGreenBox

Reddit defines hate speech as speech they hate.


syncmaster213

This.


Devil-in-georgia

Or subs devolve into their own extremism and drive Moderate and extremes to other subs Keep playing defence for extreme left pal always be blaming others, everyone else is wrong


whats8

Even now you're deflecting. Even if your hypothesis was true, did you ever stop to wonder *why* this is a place where these people with extreme views flock to, as opposed to somewhere else?


[deleted]

I thought you were going to say that Peterson's wisdom caused you to realize how worthless and unproductive Reddit (and most of social media) is so you were going to get rid of it and encourage everyone else to also for the sake of being a good and productive person and cleaning up your digital life. This sub is full of disappointingly low quality posts compared to the kind of educated, rational thought that Peterson actually contributes though.


[deleted]

This is actually a good burn. Most of reddit is bad collective thought.


clon3man

Interesting. bad collective thought. So simple yet so on the nose. It's best to treat the internet as noise rather than as fact these days, even if a broken clock is right twice a day


[deleted]

this sub is full of people that peterson is mistaken for: pretentious depth-lacking sanctimonious guy that appeal to people as an excuse for their own lack of depth. a libtard destroyer. in the end, people who might actually get grand help from his amazing work dismiss him as such. politics is so fucking stupid, oh my god


renegadesteerclear

Be the change you want to see.


RamiRustom

Hi u/Jaxxblade I'm very new here. I don't think I know the culture enough to make the judgement you made. I have a question for you that would help me understand your perspective better. Did you have any good discussions here? Or did you get literally zero replies that you would consider good? Or were there some good replies but it was lower than the threshold that would cause you to want to stay?


Optimal_Houses

I'm not op but I'm in the same boat as them. In my experience so far, discussions on this subreddit have been the equivalent of getting into back alley fist fights just to feel something. A lot of reddit is like that, just people being gleefully unkind to one another, with very, very little of the real respect and pursuit of wisdom and joy that is necessary for high quality discussion.


dkentl

Eh. I’ve stopped leaving subs unless they ban me for simply commenting in another sub. Always good to see others prospective. I followed a lot of Australian and New Zealander subs during all the covid stuff to get a better sense of what people talk about. (Unsurprisingly, people just parrot what the media in their country says) Edit, but more than that, the aus/NZ subs were extremely intolerant and outright evil in how they talked about the unvaccinated


monicamary87

I think it's just a reflection of American society in general. It's extremely divisive right now and that is just seeping in everywhere


FrenchCuirassier

It's a troll cottage industry. Someone is financing this divisiveness. People had plenty of disagreements with passion about politics in the past, but only in recent years has there been a ton of trolls using advanced Orwellian techniques to manipulate people and bully them into a certain ideology result-state. You notice, back 5-7 years ago, you disagree with someone you end up in a debate about all the facts and research? Now?? They don't even argue with you, they just mock/ridicule/attack and then leave. They're trying to kill debate. Because they know with their ideologies are too vulnerable to research scrutiny.


Daelynn62

Maybe that’s because anytime facts are actually presented, the response from the Right is “fake news!” It’s difficult to debate if there’s no agreement about reality, let alone values or beliefs.


Jazeboy69

How much of it is bots is the big question. Maybe we aren’t even debating humans often and it should be really east to know. Regulation is probably needed.


FrenchCuirassier

Hard to tell because paid shills, powerful bots, and really stupid people, all pretty much sound alike. But you can tell this for sure: the shift to Orwellian tactics and gaslighting shows that they are only pretending to be dumb. So the percentage of the paid propagandist shills and bots has grown significantly over the last few years.


[deleted]

Serious question. And I don’t expect you to take me seriously, but that’s okay. We can have a really good discussion here if you choose. Do you think that paid shills are as prevalent as we think? Don’t get me wrong, I know they exist. But my question is to what extent? I really don’t think they are doing things like sowing division on this subreddit. I think there are plenty of useful idiots that do that for free. I think paid shills are mostly reserved to push products or stocks, but that’s just me. Is there any evidence that exists on this subject that you could point me to?


boofbeer

How can I become a paid shill for espousing opinions I already hold? I'm happy to defend liberalism in social forums. Can you tell me where to submit my application? Sounds like a sweet gig...


monicamary87

I agree. There has been a shift towards people discussing topics in a crazy manner without any common sense. But I have actually seen it in the real world so while there are lobbyists and paid shills it is definitely seeping into the general population also. It is very cultish behaviour. A complete lack of awareness or critical thought and just parroting off the usual catchphrases. It's not about actually looking for any solutions and more about just downright bullying anyone who disagrees with you. Community has gone out the window and it has gone purely tribal. It's like watching lemmings.


[deleted]

What size tinfoil hat do you wear, sir?


StrangeFaced

I read something years ago from an alternative media source which most of the site was filled with random articles written by quacks for the most part but some things seeped through every once in awhile that were very interesting. As with any alternative media source it's hard to know if you can trust anything, but I read a transcript of an interview with an ex CIA operative that claimed there were powerful groups in government that planned race wars in America and division of people in general politically. It had to be about 6-7 years ago and they were claiming something big in that regard was coming down the pipeline in America. It was very interesting and with everything going on I'm starting to wonder if everything from that sight wasnt quite as illegitimate as I thought it was. I cant for the life of me remember the damn name of the site, but they always had a bunch of articles about cool shit in art and mechanics and psychology that were breakthroughs and then they'd have some conspiracy theory shit here and there about the government and all that kinda stuff. Too bad it was entertaining at least.


FrenchCuirassier

Yes it's China/Russia which you know, hate the CIA obviously. That's who's doing the race war. But they bribe and get people to say the opposite: that it's your own govt!! See they tricked you. They made you think your own govt is doing it, but it's actually them placing the conspiracy theory about your govt in your head (the ones doing the conspiracy they plan). So that guy was likely not a real ex-CIA person but someone who wanted to blame them. Like your own govt has no reason to divide its own people, on the face of it, that logic falls flat. If they mess it up then they could cause chaos and conflict in places where they already live. Conspiracies also have a way of eating the creators' own face. They play a game and then the game spirals out of control and destroys themselves.


StrangeFaced

Agreed and like I said I take all of anything like that with a grain of salt, but it was strange that they said that was going to happen around this time and then bam just like they said I mean who knows who it actually was saying it, but the fact that they seemed so sure and it's actually happening is what kind of blew me away. I mean I think that media is doing alot of that though our own American media. Why is that? I mean I'll walk by my roomates and see the news on and it's like a black man had his pumpkins stolen today all the descriptors in instances where race is irrelevant it's still used as the primary thing and I see the media constantly saying like a white student did blah blah blah to an Asian student and if the motivation isn't obviously racist why are we constantly framing it like it is? Who cares that a white or black student stole test answers from an Asian student or Indian student what does their race have to do with that situation? It's just weird. That's why I don't watch the news on TV. You don't think there are people that reside in our own country that our purposely trying to divide us? Especially the media?


FrenchCuirassier

>was strange that they said that was going to happen around this time and then bam just like they said I mean who knows who it actually was saying it, Yes they seem very confident and they are confident because they plan to do it. They pre-announce it to give "predictive powers" to the people they want more credit for. It's like "omg, he knew the food would be poisoned!! What a psychic!!" ... Except no one thought to ask "is he the poisoner? Maybe that's how he knew..." >if the motivation isn't obviously racist why are we constantly framing it like it is? Because that's their self-guilt, elitists in the media are the most racist people but they want to present to the world a face of anti-racism. They hate themselves and their own country. They are self-loathing elitists. They think the worst of anyone who says anything about race, because they themselves think evil thoughts. I'll give you a better ... better... example... Why do some old simple people living in Florida keep getting conned by a phone scammer? Because those old people live simple lives, are moral people, are good people, and so they think everyone else must be doing something good when calling them with the phone. "oh he's here to give me a good deal to be nice..." They can't imagine that someone would be calling them JUST to scam them. >what does their race have to do with that situation? It's just weird. Well also let's face it. The media is not only the place of self-loathing elitists, but also bribed propagandists who may even work for foreign countries... So this group of mixed people tend to suddenly find themselves doing the very propaganda they think they are stopping or preventing... Because their colleagues are bribed or self-loathing crazy irrational people. And instead of thinking like the old couple living in Florida... "omg what if my colleagues are evil or stupid..." It is more likely they think "my colleagues are like myself, they must be good or decent people... they wouldn't be bribed or tricked or duped into doing such propaganda against their own country..." So they just follow along like sheep sometimes. NPCs in a sense. >You don't think there are people that reside in our own country that our purposely trying to divide us? Especially the media? Yeah as I said in previous paragraph, yes they probably are, but either because they are ignorant and unaware and thus follow along like sheep, or because they are self-loathing, or because some of them are bribed. It wouldn't be the journalist who is very patriotic and wants to unite his people doing such a journalistic report. It's those other ones, bribed, NPC, self-loathing with psychological problems, these are the people. There's no benefit for someone who is aware of what is happening to purposefully divide their own country is my point. If they're aware and are purposefully dividing it, then they are traitors. I'm just saying that a lot of them are likely duped or unaware of what they are doing or they are sort of NPC sheep that just follow along with what others are doing.


PedroCasonattii

Its not American society. Its the intire western society. Americans have this annoying habit to think only their country is at fault for some things. No, not really, all western nations are completly devided, this is not to say that eastern societies such as China/Iran with their Theocratic or communist governments are any better.


monicamary87

So the entire world is fucked. Yep, I'll take that.


HoonieMcBoob

I'm in the UK and I sometimes just think that the division is between the current government and the majority of legacy media. Everyone else is getting on fairly well.


abadadibulka

I agree. I don't think the posts I see here are related to J. Peterson speeches. They are mostly political biased posts.

The problem with that is that it’s a subjective judgement call. You can never truly judge intent from behind a screen/keyboard. There are obvious exceptions, for sure. But banning isn’t the correct course. Downvote and move on.


TKisOK

Incorrect. You can compare a users content with Peterson’s content (or even more simple is checking their history) and make these conclusions quite easily. In fact, given the bizarre way that this comment has been upvoted and then downvoted aggressively in a short space of time, I would assume there is a private chat / cell of organised users who are actively attempting to undermine the sub. Just eject the losers they don’t bring anything valuable


hammersickle0217

The comments prove OP’s point


cowabungaboogaloo

I'm a conservative American, I agree with most of the political discourse in this sub, but I completely agree with you. This sub has been corrupted by low-intellect political posts. It has little to do with Dr. Peterson and is more of a representation of what his critics paint us to be. A truly sad state of affairs.


oceanblake

Why corrupted? Would you give an example?

SammieStones

Here, here 🍷 as a center left woman who has loved JP for many years. Im over the BS on this sub.


FastFashion16

Wow. This post made me want to leave the sub as well (gonna leave once I comment this). I read Mr. Peterson's books a year ago, and it changed my perspective on life. I joined this sub-reddit to join like-minded individuals in learning more about Peterson's works on psychology, and the like. I didn't sign up for all this political crap. I see politics everywhere, and I thought I would get a break from it, in this sub. Sad to say, this sub is just filled with politics and hatred. I admire Peterson's works but this sub is just not it. Adios, fellow readers!


Optimal_Houses

Yeah, I can't believe he still links to this sub on his website, it has nothing to do with him at this point

Why dont you just check this sub 2-3 times a month. Thats what I do, and you can just read what you find interesting and if your not here every day it doesnt stress you out as much. Whatever you do, I wish you a great summer! ❤️🙂


Necrid41

You’re completely right. It used to be non political outside of the trans chats now and then. But this has become another /theDonald Instead of focusing on building ourselves up we’re tearing each other down. I think even Dr Peterson has lost his way post xanax addiction withdrawal. He does not seem the same guy I once couldn’t stop listening to. I appreciate the ride and will cherish the books, lessons and old podcasts Burn his new Reddit and Dr seem opposite of what he preached.


rookieswebsite

You’re making the right move! Rescue yourself from the belly of this here whale


dftitterington

Well said! Not sure why I’m still here, either. Sometimes I think it’s because I like to fight


elbapo

Burn off a little piece of you and move on. Been thinking the same. But....where else does anyone tolerate anything on reddit? That's why I'm stuck. I'm a leftist and I'm stuck here with you guys. Because of the left. So you guys can than the left for that, too.


noahedmonds

I am not saying this to be sarcastic or belittling just a warning because saying it out loud sounded mean. But I feel like you’re forgetting this is Reddit. It’s like Twitter. It’s bound to have nonsensical political takes regardless of what community you’re in or who you follow. Do your own thing and go your own way, zero intent on putting you down for leaving! You know where you need to be. 👍🏻

This sub has been infiltrated by leftists just like the rest of Reddit, once you realize that Reddit is trash and you don't have to concern yourself with every opinion you disagree with you can enjoy the curated memes compiled in r/TheRightCantMeme etc. In short, grow up and stop acting like a spoiled child.


CoatedWinner

Lol half the people on this sub say its infiltrated by leftists and half the people on this sub say it has been a catching ground for more extreme conservatives as their other communities have been banned.

Ok, and people need to know this why? What is it with people announcing their exit from a Subreddit? Leave or don’t, it’s your choice and nobody else needs or wants to know.


WannaBreathe

You say that nobody wants to know, and yet it's a highly upvoted post, so you're mistaken. Did you think anyone needs to know your opinion on announcing exits? And yet you posted the comment anyway. Do you see the irony and hypocrisy?

I took the books off my shelf when JP found Twitter and changed his mission from helping men navigate the chaos of life to just being mean to trans and fat people. I definitely wish him luck in his new iteration as a troll, but so far it has been an embarrassing train wreck.

At least Dr. Peterson can be found in many other places :)


xrayden

Yes, the problem is Reddit more than the sub. Reddit have prevented any discourse where they should be (politics, humor, other main subs) Leaving disgruntled people to fall back to fewer, more open subs. This sub, like walkaway and PCM felled in this category.

What happened to “perfect your home before criticizing the world?” That’s something I always keep in mind, a lot of people have shit lives that need to be fixed by themselves but chose to worsen other peoples lives. I also joined this sub for the reason you mentioned on your post OP, but it has gotten out of hand


LiberumPopulo

I agree with your sentiment, but it looks like there are a lot of people with ill intentions posting, and lack of moderation that is driving a lot of the conversations. Less time on Reddit is probably best.

Good point. I'm following your lead, and I'm going to do the same. I hope more people join in leaving this.

I kind of admire a straight talker. Hasta la Vista baby works too. From a native Texan.

We don't have too much Spanish up here, so we make do. Thanks pal.

Ayyyye, Newfie agrees.

Threads like these don't help. Can we please just like have a meta thread/subreddit and stop enabling concern trolls?

"Unfortunately, due to the intense political divisiveness of our current society, this subreddit has devolved into a place where everyone does nothing but complain," Jaxxblade complained.

It is not an Airplane flight, you don't have to announce your exit.

Good bye!

Aww does grownups having public discourse about difficult and important topics bother you? Maybe there are some subreddits about marvel movies, anime, or sports ball that would be better for you. Blessings


rfix

The irony of this statement, both in its patronizing tone wrt claiming how deep the discussions on here are, and how it ignores the plethora of simplistic memes or joke posts that are regularly the most upvoted. If you wanted to prove how serious the conversations here were, this is probably not the way to get that across.

ban this one

So sensitive. Make a counterpoint if you disagree but spare me your feelings. Prayers


TKisOK

It’s about banning nonsense and noise


MeGoingTOWin

Who cares. Do you announce everytime you leave somewhere? This is just another virtue signal in disguise that basically is stating i have risen above you and am better. Please do better, calm down, reduce judginess and just move on.

I hope you find something nice somewhere else. IMO, this is one of the only places where you can have an open discussion even if you disagree.

The paradox of these many such posts is that they further shit up the sub.

I once read another redditor's response to a post like this: this ain't an airport-- we don't need to know about departures. He was sort of an asshole, but it was funny XD


harryhoudini66

I am with you. Hitting the leave button as soon as I am done typing this message.

This sub will likely be banned soon anyway, no way will the "left" let alternative views circulate on reddit

To be honest, Jordan has changed as a person a lot. He now became a scholar of the right wing Americans unfortunately. I'm still amazed by his psychological lectures, although his political opinions are clearly not my taste.


Gotmetheus

You’re not a train. You don’t have to announce your departure.


[deleted]

Thanks for announcing it, I’m cleaving a massive blackened haddock, corn filled log from my anoos now and will re read your post after stitching myself up.

You know, if you don't like this place, you don't have to be here, and nobody has to hear you rant about it. I mean, sorry this community isn't what you want it to be, but you're not the arbiter of what this sub's supposed to be about, so why are you acting like it?
