fuck off
It's not funny

sage & report

Because he's successful.

>sage and report
But Peterson is a writer, how is this thread or any Peterson-related thread off-topic?

>Spreads ignorant and frankly embarassing definition and use of "Post Modernism," and is really on their side with subjective truth
But much more importantly
>Brings newfags, usually from /pol/, who shit up the entire board
Imagine what you would expect a literature board on Veeky Forums to actually be, concentration of cringy underage philosophizing, shit posts and non stop Jew talk. The only reason this board isn't like that is because it takes effort to enjoy reading, and most idiots or underage opt for Veeky Forums or /pol/ because it seems more fit for them. A large influx of newfags has the danger of altering board culture faster than they can assimilate and lurk more.
If you're familiar with Jung and Campbell, who most are by sophmore year, then Peterson brings literally nothing to the table, and despite this is spammed consistently, and doesn't even have good taste in literature, so that doesn't help for a literature board. Also never mentions Kierkergaard or Feurebach, which is fucking ridiculous given his positions

Nobody here would hate Peterson to the extent we do if you faggots would simply organize yourselves into one Peterson General thread instead of having four different threads active on the front page at all times. Fucking do it and we'll leave you alone.

Like in his recent book someone posted a picture of a footnote of his explaining how he just got into this guy named Heidegger who has useful interpretation of truth...
He's a good clinical psychologist, and should be given props for managing to be a Jungian prof, but when it comes to philosophy he is literally still in babbys first Nietzsche

Both of these are correct. He's not a philosopher, he's a psychologist who uses simplistic interpretations of philosophers to write self-help books. If you can see why Alain de Botton is cringey, you should understand why Peterson is cringey.

Petersonfags please do this. Clean your room and clean up the board.

bump
sage doesnt work, u newfidgets

Because he's getting rich by selling lies while promoting his brand of soft-fascism. He's so pathetic and everyone who likes him is just as pathetic.

shut the fuck up faggot, of all the reasons to hate Peterson, you choose the most retarded one, as if you were a manchild reacting against his "clean your room" shit by screaming "muh natzis". He's a weak, narrow minded materialist, not a fascist, that would be a step up for him if anything.

>Spreads ignorant and frankly embarassing definition and use of "Post Modernism," and is really on their side with subjective truth

"Neither Derrida nor Foucault is cited in 12 Rules for Life. Apparently, not only has Peterson never bothered to actually read them, he seems not to have even read their Wikipedia entries. The only relevant citation is of a book called Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault, which he customarily recommends at speaking engagements. The author, Stephen Hicks, is Executive Director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship at Rockford University, and an acolyte of Ayn Rand. Armed with this dubious secondary source, Peterson is left making statements that are not only mired in factual error, but espouse a comically reductive conception of how social life and history work. He takes a common misunderstanding at face value, proceeding to build a whole outlook on it."

What the fuck are you talking about? Most Peterson threads are made by anons mocking him and if people defend him is because seeing people humiliating him non-stop has become tiresome.
>If you're familiar with Jung and Campbell, who most are by sophmore year, then Peterson brings literally nothing to the table
Yeah, well, he isn't a philosopher. He isn't trying to say anything new. He's just trying to make people healthier.
>Spreads ignorant and frankly embarassing definition and use of "Post Modernism," and is really on their side with subjective truth
This is true. Although he isn't completely wrong about Derrida, but he's wrong about what is the problem with him. The problem is not deconstructionism in itself but the Derrida brand of deconstructionism, which lends itself to retarded interpretations because of Derrida's messy relationship with phenomenology.
And I don't even care about Peterson but Peterson haters are worse than his fans.
Also, fuck off with MUH BOARD CULTURE. This isn't reddit.

You're being purposely obtuse.

If Peterson wasn't relevant here, there'd no be sense constantly using him as a bait thread.

Peterson's biggest claim to fame amongst edgy, socially-retarded losers is that he's an """""intellectual"""""" who hates postmodernism.

Embarrassing that Petersonfags basically admit that their ideology is BTFO'd by postmodernism by decrying the fact that it was ever invented. If they were intellectually honest they'd be able to identify worthwhile parts of postmodernism and incorporate it into their ideology.

what do you mean by materialist?

I didn't say he was a nazi. I wouldn't even say that he's a full blown fascist. But he does defend a status quo that opress the people that cannot comfort to its norms. I don't think there's anything wrong about calling the neo-liberal system soft-fascism.

yes it does, watch this

The actual answer

lol

But, that said, postmodernism is incoherent and is only subscribed to by vocal idiots who attract more vocal idiots
