My god, won't someone think of all the children, who'll have to suffer living in clean rooms?

'Jordan Peterson radicalised my dad,' - if that doesn't make you chuckle nothing will.

My poor brain. It hurts everytime I hear about these children hating everything that even so much as challenges their world view.

I didn’t realise I was in the wrong line of work! All the years I worked for companies who just didn’t care about my feelings - how cruel they were😢. I thought they were in the “business” of making money (partly to pay my wages!) when they SHOULD have been caring about my mental health. I am just so vitally important to the business, I’m irreplaceable therefore bow down to my wokeism. Seriously though, this is ridiculous. Too much tail wagging the dog.

Hey I Man, I just wanted to thank you for first introducing JP to me about 5 years ago. I would have discovered him eventually, but still. Grazi.

Then there was the idiot book chain in New Zealand... Whitcoulls.... that took Petersons books off their shelves...

As we say down south “Dont let the door hit ya where the lord split ya.”

When your 4 year old has a tantrum in the supermarket, claiming, you hate them for not buying them sugary treats. Do you accede to their demands?

what a company wants to make money over virtue signal? imagine that, take notes disney

What the actual phuq is wrong with people!? It's utterly insane!!!

"Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you." Penguin Random should simply have told their woke child-adults, "Clean your room."

They have a job and are being paid because of the company's profit. If they don't want the company to make a profit they'd be out of a job. In which case, they'd be whining yet again. The lesson here is to screen these babies out of the job pool. Otherwise... well, you'll get this society that we have now. Grown up babies.

wtf is wrong wit these big babies?

WOW I didn't know the tail wags the dog nowadays. Employees tell bosses what to do.

Penguin should just publish wokey books, then they would go broke and these clowns would not have a job.

I fully support their decision to set up their own publishing company (Woke House). Penguin need to grow a pair and tell them they are employed to do a job, not spend their day forcing their ideology on the business owners.

The publishing industry is 75% staffed by women. If any workplace needs its gender imbalance addressed, it would be Penguin Books.

Woke/activists cry babies. Jordan is brilliant man and has my respect @ support forever!!

Let's face it, Jordan Peterson's book successes contribute to capitalism and the woke employees don't like capitalism. The adage, "nothing comes alone" applies here too. What comes with capitalism are all the less popular books that these wokies want to see published. They have not yet learnt that they can't have it both ways.

Has Cobblepot got insomnia again?

Woke (feminism, socialism, social justice...) can't be made subject of satire, all satire runs one step ahead of the stupid and sometimes gets taken as new doctrine.

Imagine having only listened to one site of the story and not just commenting on it just to go to the publisher or even worse still, to work for the publisher, and to run around acting like this?

See the thing is, your videos aren't, shit, they're pretty good.

I fear for the future for the west, we have so many weak people. How the hell are they supposed to deal with nations who don’t see their view like Russia or China?

Waking up to wokeness. Meta

You really deserve more views!

Any self respecting publisher would have fired the lot of them.

"I just wrote a fanfic where a strawman of my political opponent's views are coming out of a Nazi's mouth. Now I can link them to the alt-right citing the evidence I created. (°>°)/"

Blowback to woke has arrived - Gina Carranos surviving her cancellation and the confident work of commentators like this RU-vid channel are giving confidence to millions who were afraid to speak up ...

@independentman thanks again for your content. This may go some of the way to calming down your “former” fans (which actually made me laugh pretty hard reading the comments) following your outrageous assertion that Trump should move on.

Guys.. I recently went back into industry after 2 years of self employment, this stuff is everywhere now. My new job is so painful due to these PC types I'm not sure I can stay. It's not just one or two people, it's everyone, they are all "woke". I can't see how our civilisation goes forwards from here, when the majority of adults have a kind of pathological mentality that sabotages their own genetics, heritage and culture. But then again, that's what this is all about, destroying us.. and those who are running this shit show are getting exactly what they want.

I don't believe there are so many woke people around, I bet the number of employees complaining has been greatly exaggerated, or, many just go with the flow in fear of what would happened if they didn't, but in truth they don't believe a single iota of wokeness!!! The rest is just a well acted piece of theatre when they appeal to emotions through tears, but you can see the rage, vindictiveness and lust for power beyond their tearful and frankly hysterical demeanor.

It's no use trying to reason with unreasonable people: just fire anybody that goes against the financial interests of the company, make sure you never hire people like that again, and move on.

I think a big part of the problem is that the basics of business isn’t taught in school. I think more basic business training would help set kids up better and understand the reality if the world. Capitalism is a force for good by tying ones financial gain to ones quality of service or quality of goods provided. Socialism turns greed into a vice by giving people the legal right to steal from the most successful among us.

Couldn’t agree with you more, mate!

Inclusion for me but not for thee, it's incredible how closed minded these supposedly open minded people are. Thanks Independent Man for supporting sanity in this insane world.

"They knew what they were doing wasn't right" There is far more in that statement then meets the eye. This is going to sound conspiratorial but i'm confident in time i will be proven right (no pun) so ill say it anyway.. tis a private video afterall :) All of the woke stuff over the past 4-5 years has been amplified and pushed by rich elitists who should know better. There's always been those who strive for the same things (eg equality, gay marriage etc) myself included but it's never been like this. It's been weaponized and used to control/influence people by very powerful people and all revolves around one man, or rather a movement - Trump. Think i'm crazy? Have a look at when google changed their long standing motto from "dont be evil" to "do the right thing". Its a subtle change but drastically changes interpretation and outcome, the first is libertarian the latter is authoritarian. So there. I said it. Give it 6 months before you think im a nutjob :)

THE ENTITLEMENT 😅

I used to follow an artist on one of my social media feeds and the other day they posted some anti-Peterson video. This didn't go the way they expected and half the people were talking about that 'controversy' with Peterson being linked to Marvel's Red Skull character. This sent said artist into a fit and they when on a banning spree.

I got 2 ads on this video, are you monetized again?

Generic comment and like for the RU-vid algorithm

I wonder what these crybabies think of Penguin's The N000gger of the 'Narcissus' by Joseph Conrad. Sorry for the self-censorship here, but the RU-vid algorithm won't allow certain words.

Sounds like they need new employees. Like ones that understand money is more important than politics. This is business not your crappy far left college.....

I think you have the wrong definition for a "town hall". Seems to mean lynch mob. The torches and pitchforks were a dead giveaway.

You can pretty much say anything about someone who isn’t hard left

Thought at first this was about Jordon talking about penguins kind of like the lobsters.

Do these people have a clue what history will make of their actions...? 🤡🌎🌈

So in a nutshell this coo coo alphabet community member is trying to extort a book publisher? The insolence! 😂

Since when random employees have a say about what book will be published?

This all reminds me of the people that burnt their copies of Harry Potter in protest of J.K Rowling's beliefs. Not anywhere in those books (Unless you grasp at very thin straws) does Rowling state any ill will nor harm towards the people in question. The same is true for the works of Dr Peterson. But not only is the message of personal accountability and taking responsibility for your own actions antithetical to what the woke crowd believe, they are also unwilling to even read, nay, allow his books to be published. Could've sworn the German's did all of what I just described to Jewish authors and their works, funny that.

Dear Blue hairs, the good news is, we accept your concerns as valid and will not be publishing anything you take offence to in the future, the bad news is, this means that we will go out of business so we have resolved that issue by selling Penguin books to BREITBART news, we hope you will consider staying on with us, however fully understand if the new employment contracts free speech clause is something you cannot or will not abide by, We than wish you success in your new chosen career at the Stazi press, they are looking for people like you!

Man, this channel kept going downhill and never looked back.

The company should have let these clowns rage quit. I'm sure there's heaps of other people who'd be happy to work there

The bloody ABC marfia needs to pull their heads in, it's getting real hard not putting them in the loony bin!

The answer is rather obvious - if each of these protesters wrote a chapter, they presumably have the skills, and collectively produced a book, and it was put on the shelves at the same time as the JP book... and then lets see how that shakes down... isn't it better to be creative than destructive? Isn't it better to air your views and grievances? ... and the massive profits from such a venture can be donated to your cause of choice... didn't think so... wimps.

Fire them all, make a shit load of money selling the book. Sorted.

Broken ballast is back :(

I’m a centre lefty, and an atheist, and I love Jordan Peterson.

Yep. Never feed the mouth that bites you!

"Radicalised their father"

1:20 more like a struggle session.

It really is a religion.

go broke every woke.

Peterstein does not appeal to the right.

Love you man.

Dr JP is my hero!

Old videos?? see ya

Twelve *more* rules for life? Blimey! How many commandments does that man have? Even God only had ten!

Notice they are rushing to publish the works of Yassmin Abdel- Magied.

The infiltration of Penguin RandomHouse goes back quite a bit. Some years ago, while it was probably not official company policy, their Twitter account started spouting stuff about lists of books not written by white men, “decolonizing“ your book case, and other intersectional / woke crap.

JoeyBToonZ covers this type of shit on a regular basis. Go checkout his channel.

Well they are welcome to find employment elsewhere.
