I used to be fairly hard left, but after seeing the massive discrepancies between mainstream reporting about some of these supposedly “alt-right” personalities and what the subjects of their articles actually say and do, I’ve started to wonder what other things we’re being told that are complete horseshit, or at least are being run through a left-leaning political filter. It seems like anything to the right of socialism is being cast as alt-right in an attempt to lump it all together.

I’m not a Trump supporter by any means, but holy hell have liberals lost their minds since he was elected.

Well this explains the SJW crack the other day I guess.

Beyond that you seem to be making a sweeping generalization about left-leaning political filters?

Jordan Peterson doesn’t really have ideas. He’s intentionally vague, slippery, and convoluted in order for his followers to basically interpret his drivel in ways that are personal to them. It also helps so that when people call him out for being full of shit, he can pretend that they’re “misunderstanding” his points when in reality there are no real points at all.

First, citation needed?

Second, you say this as though the media in general doesn’t do this. Drumming up drama that likely didn’t previously exist so that they can make themselves sound justified when they complain about it.

So even if Peterson does this, which I’m not convinced he does, he certainly would not be the first, last, or only person to do this on either side of the fence. There’s an entire culture and market where people and corporations make money off of manufactured drama.

I can’t give a citation because my impression is based on literally everything I’ve ever heard him say or seen him write. I have yet to be impressed by a single sentence that this charlatan has uttered. Expose yourself to some of his work and you’ll see what I mean. His speeches are just ramblings filled with big words.

My problem really is that it would be easier to paint him as stupid if the people who report on him as being stupid weren’t themselves equal or greater in stupidity. Reporting on a report on an opinion about some of what he said is one example. Another is his interview with Cathy “So-What-You’re-Saying-Is…” Newman.

I don’t know what this means

You aren’t alone.

I had a dream that my family went out to see the new Avengers, and at the end there was a trailer for the next movie, and for some reason my dad decided to go and see it as soon as we walked out of the theatre (I dunno why it was already released). For whatever reason he wanted to watch it in the safety of his car, but both our car and a rental we had were parked a few floors above the theatre, and instead of driving down a ramp, my dad decided to just drive the cars off a ledge and crash into the floor beneath us. At that point I realised it was unrealistic for any of this to be happening, so I woke up.

That’s hil

She was, wasn’t she? I haven’t seen it in a long time, but I recall several scenes that implied that.

Which scenes then? I don’t remember anything other than her befriending a kid. If it wasn’t for AOTC no one would even question it.

Did she really even befriend him? All I remember is the scene where she makes fun of him for being a slave and he says “I’m a person and my name is Anakin!”

Yes she did. One example, he’s cold on the starship when flying to Coruscant and she gives him a blanket. He misses his mom and she comforts him.

She did it in an awkward and romantic way. I found the age difference inappropriate and petitioned for the film to be banned.

I sense a mix of truth and exaggeration in this post.

Regardless, given how long it’s apparently been since you’ve seen the film, you should watch that scene again and see if you actually feel that way or your memory of it is distorted. If the former, I’d argue you’re putting your own interpretation onto a scene that doesn’t contain what you say it does.

Catcalls? I don’t remember Ani getting creepy in TPM!

Maybe I remember wrong and there weren’t catcalls, but I do remember the “Are you an angel” line in TPM and the first scene of Anakin and Padme in AotC, which are really creepy.

I’m not sure why you’d bring up AotC since we’re talking about TPM. Most of us agree he’s super creepy in AotC.
