He wasn't arguing with a bot. His tweets were in regards to an article the guy wrote about him, in which he mentions the Twitter handle from the first result on Google when you Google the guy's name plus Twitter.

The fact that the guy in your tweet pulled up multiple quotes from the bot account, put them side by side in a picture in order to try and fool people into believing that there was a dialogue taking place when there had been none, plus the fact that you actually believed it, says a lot about yours and the left's intellectual ability.

One look at that account and it's clearly not a real person.

You know what I meant, you know what they meant, stop defending your idol.

You're right, I did know what you meant, and I did know what that tweet meant. Which is why I wrote what I did. You and the people that have an axe to grind against Peterson, start from a disingenuous place. You're not really doing yourselves any favors if you don't have the fortitude to attack his ideas or words, instead of twisting something into what it's not.

Debate is a healthy part of a functioning society. I'd be more bothered if one group refused to ever engage in it, because you should be able to defend and justify your positions on issues if you actually believe they should be part of common law. They challenge people to debates because they believe they have the better case.

Oh hey, remember when you tried to discredit one of Peterson's 220 sources in his book by citing a study that wasn't at all related to the source you were trying to discredit?

That was hilarious. Props for actually attempting to argue against Peterson empirically though, not a lot of his haters even attempt to do that.

Unfortunately, it's something this side are particularly known for lately.
We disagree, let's debate vs we disagree then you're a racist phobic toxic white supremacist who I must now ignore everything you've ever said due to one disagreement.

That being said I'm sure Peterson doesn't need to do much, some of (#notall) his fanboys are cult like anyway.

Peterson is a liberal btw.

as opposed to those historically open-minded Conservatives? give me a fucking break

both sides do this, don't act high and mighty like your side doesnt do this. and don't pretend you don't get super defensive when someone challenges your beliefs, because you're just as guilty about that. and yes, i get defensive as well, im not saying i dont

Yes

People like Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager, Larry Elder, Charlie Kirk...basically every right-wing commentator with exposure have debates with people they disagree with all the time, and guess what, no other right wingers deride them for giving the left a "platform"

Tell you what: for every zero cases you find of a right-wing group attempting to shut down a leftist speaker, I will find you infinite cases of a leftist group trying to shut down a right-wing speaker. Ready, go:

I'm talking about conservative blow-hards on Twitter and social media who yell at anyone who opposes them "come on my show and debate me!"

It's not about having a proper discourse. It's about getting content for their shitty YouTube accounts so they can be seen as yelling down at someone in front of their fanbase.

And no I'm not saying all conservatives do this.

I'm not saying you did. I'm lamenting the challenge on this board of dealing with the fact that liberals have wildly different default assumptions about what conservatives do, which can make it incredibly difficult to have a reasonable discussion because people often jump in to conversations with contradictory assumptions.

if you expect every single Liberal to have a universally accepted definition of what Conservatives are and what they do then I don't know what to say.

in general i don't like to frame things in the "Conservative vs Liberal" dynamic because it's unproductive. however, when someone comes in and makes some ridiculous claim like "Conservative are always open minded bastions of free thought and Liberals are always closed-minded mental midgets" I feel a need to object. and i don't even object on the grounds of "only Conservatives do that", I objected on the grounds of "Both sides do that, shut up".

No, i remember you providing the only two studies he cited for his 'stand up straight and you'll be flooded with serotonin' rule, one of which is a debunked effect, and had nothing to do with the serotonin or posture, and the other having nothing to do with serotonin or the causal direction.

That's exactly the point, guy. Liberalism is about changing ideas, but it's exceedingly difficult to get many people who support changing ideas to openly discuss and debate both the merits and justification of those changes. It's "things should change, and I refuse to engage with you in why, or the specifics of how"

the next thing after that was "both sides do it", though. i took issue with him making a generalization about one side that i feel applies equally to both. if that makes me a hypocrite because i dont like sweeping generalizations then i guess im a hypocrite.
