Read between the lines on Jordan Peterson's latest tour: the only way to ward off the specter of "antisemitic extremism" is to eliminate online anonymity by accepting a #DigitalIdentity police state, or else.

Everybody wants to control speech, what changes is the excuse
:POLICE:
I think you added some lines between the ones you read between.
I may be giving him too much liberty, but I that conversation felt like more of identifying a common problem of anon accounts (the problem being that there’s no cost or recourse for anon behavior that in any other circumstance wouldn’t be tolerated by society at large).
So what?
I don’t have to defend him, but if you’re asking that you haven’t listened to enough of his argument.
He was way to enraged & pissed off by that AI fake some time ago, I lost all respect for him back then.
Do what you want, but that’s a pretty stupid reason to lose “all” respect for someone 😂
JP is captured. He had "the talk" and was shown enough to keep him in line.
Seemed to happen in the summer of '23
He's a different person now and it's not money or ego driving it imo.
Wym by "the talk". They have blackmail material on him?
JP is a fag loser. Complete disapointment.
Isn't Nostr a proto digital identity? As in, everything can be tied to an npub, now just control the flow of nsecs.
He used to save lives by teaching people how to become the best version of themselves in the modern age. And now he is friends with Benjamin Netanyahu and is campaigning against online anonymity. What a shame. I'd say he should watch his old lectures but unfortunately I think he knows exactly what he is doing.
I did not received that message you are talking about. But it is true he does not like anonymity, since he has been crucified plenty of times for criticizing the left and the right and thinks we should all do the same.
I think it is a mute point to try to discourage anonymity because it is necessary and not possible to enforce anyways.
But the problem does exist and that is his point. Thank god for nostr and the mute button.
Jordan can suck my noKYC npub
Anyone here have notes on how to set up a no KYC wallet for us Nostr noobs? Sure there’s a megathread out there 😅
Sad peterson turned out to be such a scum bag
why is he championing that?
Yeah he's been on that disallow anonymity online tirade for a while. Says people abuse it (cowardly hide behind it) as a justification.
Guess who was exposed as the top creator of antisemitic content on 4chan? Israel.
Who would benefit from an #DigitalIdentity police state across the West to which antisemitism was the greatest offense? Israel.
Benjamin Franklin wasn't kidding when he said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.".
You can just disagree with someone’s opinion without crucifying them
I mean, look at these comments 💀😂

Antisemitic extremism it is. Small price to pay.
From what I know of him, this seems uncharacteristic. I'll have to do some digging.
He’s been attacking online anonymity for years.
the already branded philosopher seeks to argue against people and not ideas. it’s easier to find flaws in humans rather than logic.
Fuck the authority.
Uh-oh
Im anti-jew because religion is a conspiracy
Stop those racists pigs https://video.nostr.build/c5e99ff8fec504b326e84edde6953a163e96fa203bf4806e71b1262e2d173ab6.mp4
Same as the suspiciously worshipped, omnipresent UK Gov sponsored Netflix series "Adolescence".
Wake up from your distortion, please. The world needs you.

I am still a little unsure of JP. Says some good stuff, talks against the mainstream narrative but does come out with stuff like this occasionally. I have been seeing opinions about his being captured or a plant for a long time. The focus on antisemitism does seem to give him away a little
