How does gaining money make one greddy?

Sweetie please

What are you on about kiddo?

People are VOLUNTEERING this money.

Are you mad because if you asked for money no one would give it to you because you're an unintelligent, uncharismatic loser with nothing interesting to say?

Meanwhile I'm living on about $4000/year. What a wonderful world.

Peterson literally never plugs his patreon or asks for donations.

He's not a philosopher. He's an educator and a research scientist first. Sure, he's dabbled in some philosophy as well, but he admits freely that his work is mainly derivative and nothing new. It's more like he's summarizing what others have concluded long before him.

Sort yourself

And what are you doing that makes you worth 55 grand a month?

Sup Forums is seeing a lot of these "E-celebs are greedy, they take all your money" threads. Yesterday went for H3h3, then molymeme, now Jordan Peterson

SAGE

FUCK OFF LEFTY POL

Let me just count real quick how much I'm living on, to make you feel better.
Okay, sorry, it didn't work, it's actually $5000.

Do you really believe its acceptable for someone to earn 660k a year and have aspirations for double that just for making videos?

he is planning to start an online university with that money.

Who are you to say it's not acceptable? He's not steaaling the money, people are giving it to him voluntarily

Yes. I'm not a communist. Why aren't you whining about useless cunts like the Kardashians making millions? They deserve their money about 100000000x less than Peterson.

Peterson shouldn't be worth 55 grand a month. Thats the point. Stefan Molyneux is the same, has a net worth of at least 2 million because he's manipulated his audience into giving him their shekels.

sage

Maybe you should let Dr Peterson explain why this is so:

youtube.com/watch?v=CsRLVZTYpGo

There are loads of people who use Patreon. They're not all greedy. Got a problem that some particular person does it and it bothers you. Go see a therapist about it.

>greedy
>uploads stuff for free on youtube
>wants to start internet college
People want to show appreciation for his work. It's how true capitalism works, ingsoc.

Yeah! At least he could try and sell something useful! Like maybe...
A water filter that takes out the chemicals that ARE TURNING OUR FROGS GAY!

Well, if you want shekels, you can also manipulate people into giving them to you. And if you don't want shekels then why are you mad about other people having them. I don't see anything but fair play here.

Fuck off commie and stop being jealous that people are making more money than you while working less, it means they're smarter than you

>Peterson shouldn't be worth 55 grand a month
Who are you to say that?

You dont have a point. Why shouldnt Peterson get 55k a month for what he does? People could watch all of his videos for free yet they still choose to donate.

i've gained more from Peterson's uploaded content than I have from the majority of things I buy in the store. There's value in what guys like him offer whether it appeals to you or not. You're probably a brainlet anyway, in the 105 IQ range, you have a cursory understanding of what he talks about and what his goals are and you want to pass judgement because it's not going to benefit you personally

Arent you all for free market my brit friend? Hes paid by people willingly and as normal economists teach us - a product only worth's comes from people who desire it. And its actually kinda awesome that a guy like Peterson can be so succesfull financially, in the capitalist shit world wealthiest ones are usually singers/sportsmen/LET'S PLAYERS and other scum, so an actual scientist earning that kind of money is great.

Not just acceptable.

It's GOOD.

People should get paid more to assblast commies like you.

>let me read you Wikipedia pages on how bad socialism and post modernism are and then publicly argue that truth is whatever useful to you and that objective reality doesn't really exist outside of human perception, not realizing that this is a complete deconstruction of truth in the best traditions of every postmodernist and almost direct quotation of O'Brien from 1984 when he tortured Winston and tried to convince him that reality is what party says it is

this is exciting

This is the same shit as the Berniebros donating millions, he's just taking advantage of the situation

so sick of leftypol's tactics. don't they realize they can't meme people into believing their failed ideology? it would never be able to take hold on a no holds barred forum.

they can't meme telling the truth out of being a profitable profession, either. there would be nothing wrong with peterson taking all that money for himself, and yet he's actually going to be doing something with it.

the political pundits of the left are given far more for their propaganda, despite preaching that wealth should be redistributed
>no matter what I or you say, this leftypol faggot will be back tomorrow with yet another thread talking about how lauren southern is jewish or styx is over because he had one wrong opinion

>paying someone to misread Jung, Foucault and Derrida among others for you
Could this be the ultimate cuckoldry?

Wheres the greed? Nobody made those people pay that.

Making his "goal" 100k when he already gets 660k a year is the greed.

Good thing he misread them since its not actual science, but just a fake fucking constructs that only exist in an imaginary world.

>Implying there's any in XXI

Shieet, pajet. You should know very well that philosophers died last century.

Now they are massive faggots with a degree title desu

Again, nobody is making anyone pay that.

Did he just get a $5000 jump when his Youtube channel got locked for a few hours by mistkae?

>misread

Since you purport to have a better understanding of them than the popular doctor, perhaps you could direct us to whatever you've written on the subject already. I'd (unironically, in spite of my tone) be very interested in reading you. Perhaps a few essays or even a book? If you haven't written anything yet, perhaps you've something in the works?

I can't help but notice you've provided no interpretation of your own.

At least he is putting that money to good use
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYmFNbUhek

>55k
He's a good professor and educator but I do feel that's a bit too much since it relies on his goodwill to continue making stuff instead of retiring.
Good on him though.

>fifty five thousand dollars a month to make videos
The absolute state of capitalism

He's making money off rural and suburban retards. You can do it too if you work hard enough.

Your good post is wasted on these drones.

I'm delighted that he is making money. He's amazing. If you disagree you are a faggot that isn't convincing so stop trying and get a real job. Dr. Peterson has several of them.

there are let's players that make more

How do you feel about the actors that make millions by doing shitty movies?

by "mistake"

...

I haven't written anything on them. If you're interested in the people he's talking about, you should read the primary sources instead of paying someone else "read" them for you.

I don't know if they've made a statement yet, but this looks like the Google AI auto-banned him after some reports wave or something.

He went farther into the future here, explaining what he's going to do:

youtube.com/watch?v=FaKl4yO8HAA

deserves it, now sort yourself out lad

He's aiming to setup a University online.

one is entertainment, one is education.

back to leftypol

I hope you realize that a correct understanding of marxism is about as useful as a correct understanding of politics on middle earth. you dedicated your entire formal education to a fantasy

He's not planning on retiring. He is starting a scam university to rip these retards off for good.

"education"

Called it when he was at $45,000, it's a scam.

Thanks for your concern but me listening to someone talk about something isn't mutually exclusive to me having experienced that thing for myself.

I do read.

But I take issue with people who just blurt out stuff like you just did, without any substance to what they say. If you have a contention, then spell it out.

Fuck off, you socialist piece of shit.

Wheres the scam?

Whatever, retards who give the money deserve to be taught a lesson.
Nevertheless I enjoy(ed) his free videos/lectures.

at least he is not the leader of some crazy cult

Can we stop this logic of "anyone who criticizes capitalism is from leftypol or a communist"? It's just not true. I'm glad Peterson is actually going to invest the money in something beneficial to others. It just seems ridiculous to me that through donations alone he recieves so much.

>stop making money REEEEEEEEEE
I adore Peterson and I haven't given him a single dime on patreon. He actually puts that money to use. His lecture videos have top tier production quality thanks to this.

you are literally from leftypol

why do you come here? do you honestly think this will work? you had to create your own forum specifically for your leftism because you couldn't stop what organically took root here from survival of the fittest

his education is far better than what your marxist professor told you. he has all the credentials, and yet to you he's a faker because he holds the wrong views. your time is limited.

>It just seems ridiculous to me that through donations alone he recieves so much.
Why? Envious?

I think most people would be greedy if they stumbled into an audience of gullible suckers like he did

He's projecting.

>It just seems ridiculous to me that through donations alone he recieves so much.
Maybe people are actually grateful to the guy for changing their life? if you go to every single youtube comment section on his video you'd understand what I'm talking about.

I'm a poor student and I've never donated to anything or anyone but If I had the money I'd give him 5 bucks x month easily.

>$55,000 a month
>$55,000
>a month

how is not obvious to you?

who would've thought starting an online university to compete with the (((educational shitshow))) we have today would cost money?

Obvious shill
Sage
They do this to every "e-celeb". It's not even about character assassination, it's probably more to do with fracturing our movement in general.

donations are the new model for entertainment profits, considering how leftists control advertising with their boycotting propaganda

it is far preferable to earn your money from people who enjoy your content paying you to make more than it is to run ads for unrelated things that just annoy people. one is a direct system, one is an indirect system that serves no purpose other than forcing the source of profits to be saturated throughout a much larger population of people who mainly would never pay you directly

Yes because I'm not a communist. I have no problem with people earning money through work and people buying the products or services they offer

bingo. the root of all marxist thought. Envy and nihilism.

How is getting paid a scam?

I believe in free enterprise

I am not a Communist.

So why are you criticizing him and not the people that donated?

>"hey if you like my content here's my Patreon"
>people give tens of thousands of dollars to support more content on their own volition
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This is an infinitely better model for public figures, Podcasters, and the like because they are both free from advertisers and the market has been allowed to freely (as Patreon allows) place a value on what they have to say. With Patreon you have JBP making 50k a month to discuss self improvement, with the dinosaur media you have Megyn Kelly being paid 1.25mil to interview trannies and do their advertiser's bidding.

character assassination is a means to the end of fracturing our movement.

they want every alt-right/light personality to be poor, irrelevant and reviled. it's just an extension of them going after advertisers or spam calling employers to tell them that their workers are racist sexists.

aside from attacking patreon directly which worked with lauren southern, this is the only method they have to take on donations

Do you really need me to be your dictionary?

Clearly another attack from leftypol

Go for it, I'd love to hear your explanation.

>I'm upset at someone else making loads of money because people are dumb enough to watch his videos for free and then pay him
Jesus fucking shinji.

Clean your room then neet

Why are you so nervous about this guy getting exposure? How does he threaten you?

>Do you really believe its acceptable for someone to earn 660k a year and have aspirations for double that just for making videos?
Yes. Do you believe it is OK for someone to earn hundreds of millions for bribing politicians to let them crash the economy and receive a bailout?

That money is little compared to the value he is producing. Go complain about basketball players and investment bankers making millions.

Thanks to people throwing money at him I and thousands of other people can enjoy his great content for free. How is it a scam if I am not even paying anything? Commie fuck.

Wow, it's yet another character assassination and communist upset that people make money, even if it's purely voluntary donations.

>be person who offers service/product
>people enjoy your service/product and decide out of their free will to pay for it
>THIS IS A FUCKING SCAM!!!
Btw I never gave him a cent, but I enjoy his videos. What's wrong with people donating? Would you object to people donating to Bernie (who then ended up buying a villa on a lake with donations, but that's another topic)

Molymeme is enough of an autistic melodramatic twat to get tiresome even without a smear campaign but yeah, the leftypol shilling is pretty blatant these days.

How asshurt are you knowing that you'll never make that kind of money from talking.

The verb section is what JBP is doing.

The ineffectiveness of these leftycucks is through the roof.
(OP)

Never watched one of his videos, but they've been recommended for me since forever, but even the video titles make me cringe.

How?
