0:00.0 | Over the past several weeks, the media attacks against Jordan Peterson have seemed to escalate. |
0:06.0 | There are numerous reports accusing Jordan Peterson of being alt-right, but some go beyond that, |
0:12.0 | accusing him of actively aligning with fascist ideologies. The stories are absolutely ridiculous. |
0:18.0 | And I've always wondered why is it that media organizations think they can decide what your politics are for you. |
0:25.1 | Let me just say it right now. It took me 30 seconds to find out that not only is Jordan Peterson not alt-right, |
0:31.9 | he's actually at odds with the alt-right, has spoken out against them, and has even denied being a run-of-the-mill right-winger. |
0:40.4 | So why is it then that these media companies are trying to smear his name? |
0:45.5 | Before we get started, make sure you pop over to patreon.com, forward slash Tim Kest, |
0:54.9 | and become a patron to help support my work. There are many different tiers to choose from. |
0:58.6 | Most notably at Tier 1, you can access to behind-the-scenes, photos and videos, when available, |

1:19.6 | The first story I want to look at is something many people may have already seen, but it does get |
1:24.2 | bad. This one's from NBC News. And in this clip, it says, who is Jordan Peterson favorite figure |
1:30.7 | of the alt-right? Okay, first, that's not true. It says Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist |
1:36.3 | in academic, has attracted a fan-base among the alt-right through his writing and lectures. |
1:41.7 | That is also, I mean, you could technically say this part's true because what constitutes a fan-base? |
1:47.8 | Is 10 people a fan base? If there are people within the alt-right, three or four of them, |
1:52.4 | and they create a little group, is that a fan-base? You know, the question is how long is a piece of |
1:56.7 | string? So sure, technically, you could say that's true, but I think it is entirely disingenuous. |
2:01.2 | It's not going to be disingenuous. It's not going to be disingenuous. |
