Comments by "Rob McCune" (@robm6645) on "Interview: Jordan Peterson Will NOT Use Gender Neutral Pronouns" video.

  1. +Shang Tsung The true poison is what he cultivates within himself.

  2. The word Dude abides.

  3. Actually he wants to ban the gender neutral pronouns of I, me, we, us, you, they, this, that, these, those, it, myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, itself. I don't see how limiting a fundamental part of English grammar helps with freedom of speech.

  4. Yep, he's pretty much a crank who discredited himself there.

  5. ***** Ok, if I am wrong then explain which gender the following pronouns refer to: I, me, we, us, you, they, this, that, these, those, it, myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, itself.

  6. Mark Clemmens You think the part where he turns into a crazy grandpa ranting about secret marxists and Saul Alinski is the good part? Surely you(a gender neutral pronoun FYI ) must be joking. I can sympathize with him being a curmudgeon on campus, but this is fucking ridiculous right wing conspiracy garbage.

  7. Mark Clemmens What makes you think I haven't done my own research? And what makes you think I am regressive? Is the fact I don't believe that marxists burrowed underground in the 1960s and allied themselves with the mole people? I actually haven't watched TYT in over a year and half, so that shows me you are full of shit right off the bat. You are operating off a script while I am composing things freely with my mind. If one of us has a superior objective view of the other, it's probably me. Yes or no: Sargon, Rubin, TAA, AIU, Thunderf00t, Gaad Sad, Shoe on head, Milo, Crowder, Rebel Media, Bearing, Armored Skeptic.

  8. Andy Brice If you're playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon with Karl Marx, you know you don't have a good argument.

  9. ***** I listened, but I don't take a guy ranting about secret communist conspiracies to weaken and tear down society seriously. That is the stuff of right wing authoritarian demagogues.
    5
  10. What is so special about that? Does this mean he will speak Spanish but not German? In English we have gender neutral pronouns. Will he say stupid shit like "the Sun, she is warm today. No?" What if he is actually referring to a group of people? Does he refuse to use the word "they?" This has actual precedent in English since before the year 1950 one would commonly refer to Canadians as a whole as The Canadian, or The Canuck, Mexicans as The Swarthy Mexican and so on.

  11. ***** No, because they are one and the same. There is no cultural marxism outside the conspiracy theory. It's the red scare and nothing more. You are trying to add depth and nuance where there is none. I would prefer if you used correct labels, although correct lables might be a communist conspiracy to bring in immigrants.

  12. Mathesonguy Why shouldn't some outcomes be more equal? Is there a reason some people should not have food, water, housing, or healthcare? Is receiving treatment for cancer something only certain people earn? How about dying in the gutter, is that a lack of merit?
    3
  13. Yup, just stick your arm right up into the air.
    3
  14. Mathesonguy I, me, we, us, you, they, this, that, these, those, it, myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, itself, all SJW words apparently.

  15. Andy Brice No, I'm pretty sure the people in 1930s Germany who started calling it "Cultural Marxism" were not trying to protect Karl Marx from slander. I'd recommend using a term not invented by those people, preferably one that reflects reality.
    2
  16. Andy Brice Well yeah, they appropriated it because it sounded like Kulturbolschewismus. So now were back to square one. Just because you don't think it's a plot by the freemasons doesn't mean the framework of the conspiracy theory isn't there. The difference between cultural marxism and neoliberalism is that neoliberalism is an ideology that is actually shaping the world. It's pretty simple to look at a definition, look at what people say, and look at policy to see that with neoliberalism. On the other hand finding a concrete and useful definition of "cultural marxism," and testing those claims against so-called cultural marxists and actual polices is more the stuff of Alex Jones than any serious person.

  17. Andy Brice Well that's just circular reasoning. First attributing manspreading to the Frankfurt school, then saying that the outrage over manspreading prove the influence of the Frankfurt School. There doesn't need to be a direct link or inspiration. First the right wing is fertile ground for any and all red baiting, they are itching to call people communists. Second just because the average rightwinger is not inspired by the nazis doesn't mean no rightwinger is sympathetic to the nazis. Most likely this spread by osmosis, much like the "war on christmas" meme it has little to do with it's origins. The spirit however remains, "ther a comin fur yer christmas" and "ther a comin fur yer western civilization" remains a the heart of both conspiracy theories.

  18. Rum Ham Which is why it is in favor of the newspeak dictionary.
    2
  19. Rum Ham Newspeak dictionary limits the number of words to prevent thought crime and wrong think.
    2
  20. Rum Ham He's just being passive aggressive, he needs to portray himself as under attack to justify retaliation. Notice he talks about Marxists the way Nietzsche talks about jews, sneaky manipulators who are trying to subvert the strong.
    2
  21. Giving workers the means of production is totally about memorizing 164 genders. Who would possibly think marxism was about fighting capitalism or anything? No, it's a jewish oops, I mean cultural marxist plot to destroy -the arya... ooops I mean western values.
    2
  22. ***** Funny that.
    2
  23. Rum Ham So it was Eve Ensler that ate the fruit of knowledge of gender studies and led to the expulsion from paradise, and Marx was the serpent. Got it. After all Marx told the lie that women were not equal in 1850's society.
    2
  24. Rum Ham Which is?
    2
  25. Mathesonguy Explain how someone who lacks the necessities for life and well being can work harder when deprived of those necessities.
    2
  26. TheMasonator777 "Lists are for fascists" You really expect me to take you seriously when say stupid shit like that? Honestly that's one of the reasonable parts of your comment.
    2
  27. TheMasonator777 What do you have against lists and pendulums?
    2
  28. TheMasonator777 It seems you reached the end of your script. It's ok, you couldn't do a convincing human impersonation anyway.
    2
  29. Mathesonguy You mean the worldview that English contains more gender neutral pronouns than gendered pronouns?
    2
  30. Micro Aggressor You forgot to add "checkmate atheist" at the end there. It fits with the intelligence and maturity of your comment.
    2
  31. Micro Aggressor Because it's just another version of "I know you are but what am I?" More likely to work on elementary students than college students.
    2
  32. Mathesonguy It's a stupid neologism. Don't be so easily offended.
    2
  33. Andy Brice If you admit it's a term by right-wing conspiracy theorists, then I don't see how it's anyone's job to provide you with an alternative. You either believe the conspiracy or you don't, so just use language that reflects the truth.

  34. Rum Ham It, the professor. What other it would it be?
    1
  35. Rum Ham It is only arguing over the content, not whether or not such a thing exists. Projection it is.
    1
  36. Rum Ham I'm trying to talk like the professor wants. Seems fundamentally altering part of English grammar is not a good thing.
    1
  37. that Greene guy First, no they don't. That is people on the authoritarian right who do that. Second, proof?
    1
  38. ***** So were playing 6 degrees of Karl Marx now? You've basically just spelled out that your using red baiting regardless of actual content of the ideas being discussed here. Cultural Marxism is a term that originated from some unfortunate German literature in the 1930s. The German language contains gender neutral pronouns FYI.
    1
  39. ***** Do you understand you just said cultural marxism isn't real, but you insist on using the word any way? You might want to think about what you type before you type it, on multiple levels.
    1
  40. ***** You mean like materialist theories of history a la environmental determinism? Must that be called ecological marxism?
    1
  41. ***** Ask a stupid question...
    1
  42. ***** Which sub category of degenerate subversives out to destroy western civilization are you referring to specifically? "Cultural Marxism" is a panacea term for every movement of social change. Are you referring to the people who don't like getting shot by police?
    1
  43. ***** Marxism borrows from Hegel, so I say we refer to Marxism as Social Economic Hegeliansim and cultural marxism as Cultural Social Economic Hegelianism.
    1
  44. Mathesonguy Blah blah blah, authority is right and equality is wrong. Heard it all before pal.
    1
  45. Mathesonguy There are only like a few dozen cop killings every year. Most officers die in car crashes, even then it's only in the hundreds. Meanwhile there are 10's of thousands of regular murders in a nation of 300 million. You are only outraged by cop killings because it is a crime against authority.
    1
  46. ***** Maybe you should try providing evidence for your position rather than demanding other people prove you wrong.

  47. I wonder what a conversation without the following gender neutral pronouns will be like. I, me, we, us, you, they, this, that, these, those, it, myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, itself. I wonder how this psychology professor intends to communicate with other people once those words are gutted from the dictionary.
    1
  48. +TopHatKitty He just wants to gut she dictionary to prevent wrongthink. Totally harmless of course. Just pulling his leg.
    1
  49. Mathesonguy Yes, it is just conspiracies, Senator McCarthy.
    1
  50. Mathesonguy There is no real argument against what you said because you have no real argument. I'm supposed to draw wild conclusion from a number close to 1 in 5. That also means 82% of social science teachers aren't marxists. What exactly is wrong with that 18% believing that a stateless classless utopia will one day exist I don't know.
    1
  51. TheMasonator777 I feel like I could say any thing, even agree with your horseshit and you wouldn't say anything different.
    1
  52. TheMasonator777 So you read and actually compose a response. Do you want to have an actual conversation? Human to human.
