A state premier in Australia recently updated the public holidays list by identifying the day, but not the label, eg Dec 25th is a public holiday but the amended bill did not call it Christmas Day. The outrage that it was not officially recognised as Xmas day was interpreted as an attack on all Christian values. No-one but no-one is easiest to offend and with so little justification than your self righteous conservative. The difference between progressives and conservatives is that the relationship between hate speech and violence is actually measurable. That is where the offence is generated. That is why conservatives get angry. The avenue to act out their hatred is denied them, and quite rightly. Jordan Peterson is a hack.

I immediately thought he was going to say "Since when does ANYONE have a RIGHT not to be offended?!!". He did get her with his logic but I was really disappointed. If there are people that think they have a right not to be offended they need to be humiliated immediately for all the reasons he just excellently pointed out.

What they really want is to be able to tell you what to feel and unfortunately it is possible to tell people how they should feel and make them feel that way.

Being told how to feel does not bring up instant disgust like it should. The people who define hate speech can make you hate.

What some consider as "hate speech", is nothing but an inseparable part of free speech. But by no means does that suggest that one personally agrees with beliefs held by another. If "hate speech" is to be dealt with at all, it must first be confronted with dialogue, before anything else. Therefore, if we think of it as such, how many nations truly have free speech?

OTOH I also think that being offended isn't something that should just be dismissed. Rather I think offensive words and actions should fall in the gap between where things become totally socially acceptable on one side and where they become legally unacceptable on the other. And there needs to be that gap.

"This guy often comes across as angry, seemingly disliking it when things don't go his way. If someone who doesn't speak English were to hear him, might mistake his frustration for hateful speech against the world."

You will always cause offence to people who are determined to be offended since (irrespective of the truth) outrage is the very currency they use to leverage power and build their portfolio of virtue. The irony is that if any consequent suppression of free speech causes you offence and you speak out - then your offence is automatically labelled as "hate" and you (and by extension the dialogue to truth) gets shut down.

No one has the right to not be offended.

Hate speech is the wrong target. False accusations are the right target. Including the special case of group accusations, where people are accused of something simply because they are part of a group.

@anthonymorris5084 7 ай бұрын

Every accusation should be freely allowed. How does one determine which is the false accusation? The person in power? The person making the false accusation? Free speech enables dialogue which will allow the truth to come out.

@@anthonymorris5084 I think the one making the accusation has the responsibility to come up with evidence. If not, you open the door to slander.

Oh Mr Peterson does of course. Blocked me on twitter, just because I dared questioning what Israel is doing in Gaza right now. No explanation, nothing. Very thoughtful indeed, extremely helpful and constructive too (...) He has such a lack of self-control, which is really irritating, when you compare it to what he teaches

He's right. Someone will ALWAYS be "offended". As an example: "God Exists" would offend those that do not believe in God. "God Doesn't Exist" would offend those that do believe in God. Neither side has any concrete proof, and that statement would offend both groups.
