Because people on Lemmy will be inspired to take his "university" courses? I doubt it.
That isn’t what I meant. If you are in a room full of a thousand people and one person in the back, the loudest, is shouting hate, why would you listen to it and then announce it to others
Because that 'one person in the back' influences a huge number of people. Are you really suggesting Jordan Peterson has no influence?
He is a nobody. But sure, continue to put his message out there. Good job bud!
How is he a nobody? He has a massive following. We're nobodies here on Lemmy. He is not.
I wonder why he is continuing to gain followers?! People must be sharing his messages everywhere… hmmm. How could this be?
You really think he will gain followers from a post on Lemmy? Have you ever been on Lemmy?
There are people in this thread that have never heard of this person and even though you are against this person’s values and their beliefs, you are sharing his message and gaining followers for him, even on Lemmy. Everyone on Lemmy doesn’t believe the exact same thing even though people like you actually believe that they do. If you would just ignore him, you wouldn’t be helping his cause by spreading his message. Everyone is entitled to free speech, but you have to remember everyone is entitled to ignore them.
I have not seen anyone who has never heard of him. He's really well-known.
He’s not, he is a nobody. But now Im repeating myself to you. Lets just part ways friend, its clear you disagree with my point.
