Are you kidding me this is censored as inappropriate!?

[@elbowstrike]

Yep. The post-modern neo-marxist cult is real.

[@fuzzywigschickenemporium]

Does anyone feel like we're all of a sudden finding ourselves in 1984... keep waiting for Big Brother to come by and say past the victory gin...

[@dmrc43]

And all you sheep laugh at conspiracy theories 🤣

[@aleksandaratan]

Paradox Proxy I think they are just doing group flagging and abusing the system

[@jocefianrama]

SJWs are deeply hurt by this video. They need to be dragged to their safe place and be counseled.

[@josephschelske4233]

Inappropraite to some audiences? Really, KZbin? Like who exactly?

[@Reaper365]

Joseph Schelske For the minority of SJW's like the ones knocking on the windows in the video, the ones who like to shout the loudest in order to appear as the voice of the majority. The same ones who excel at finding a problem with everything, at the same time offering no practical solution of any kind, only to bring attention and power to themselves. Like the communists of the early 20th century.

[@scottmeyer5991]

Joseph Schelske one of the protesters works for KZbin.

[@mistermaumau]

It's very weird. I once considered myself a Marxist, am still deeply liberal, and would be proud to call myself a warrior for social justice. I treasure free speech for the exact reason Dr Peterson mentions in this talk, and can't understand why this content is objectionable. Did I miss something?

[@mistermaumau]

Daniel Rhein I'm super interested in these issues, am a big fan of Dr Peterson, but what is this "red pill" thing about anyway. I get the sense I am a prime target for red pill-ing, please, someone try.

[@TheGrapplingMonkey]

"That´s the sounds of the barbarians pounding at the gate" 1:12 Great metaphor!

[@wishfullthinkn6837]

Darius Emrich: The professor's clever and wry comment; for the Byzantine Empire has already decayed away, from within the "campus" gates as well as in the wider world, outside...which is why it is misdirected, and utterly IMPOTENT, a mindless sort of rage in the form of a parody display. I am 62 years old, and a lot of my brain cells have died, and my I.Q. is 100, or at least that is what I always go by. But, I've seen a lot of these modern women's studies professors inveigh in the public arena, particularly up in Canada, and Janice Fiamengo isn't the only one who makes their ilk look ridiculous. I could do the same with zero preparation other than their definitions of the strange terminology that they use...I do know some of the terms, which are floating, inaccurate, and poorly defined,which may well be done on purpose. GOOD POST, and have a great upcoming week!

[@tonyrandall3146]

A defining moment and wise words from the Dr

[@zezima48]

KZbin you're pathetic if you get this video removed

[@nomadheros4663]

HOW IS THIS CONTROVERSIAL!?!?!?!

[@hexadecimal5236]

Nomad Heros Its contraversial because it actually shows their bad behavior.

[@NomenNescio99]

This video makes reasonable arguments against the extreme left, then it's controversial.

[@anialiandr]

"language of power"

[@swsphone6338]

An individual broke one of the windows while pounding on it. Was later found to have a garrot in her bag. Insane! Yet KZbin calls this speech offensive?!!! Remove your notice from this video KZbin and it's ambiguous "Confirm" selection. You offend me.

[@hexadecimal5236]

sws Phone #google I thought you weren't supposed to be evil? Censoring videos for no reason seems pretty evil...

[@emmalikesflowers]

If censorship and physical violence is all you have left, you’ve already lost.

[@midnightpunching6931]

I wasn't expecting knocking on windows.

[@robstansell]

Can we please be able to have civil and rational discussions again. Please don’t stop Dr. Peterson.

[@FiikusMaximus]

Rob Stansell only civil thing we can have these days seems to be a war

[@sni1144]

Unfortunately you can't expect uncivilized and irrational people to act civil and rational. The only flaw with Dr Peterson's lectures, is they require listening and thinking. How do we reach people who refuse to listen and think?

[@jarhead3571]

sni1144 That's not a flaw on his part. Acting like a little child and pounding on mirrors isn't something he taught them. I usually laugh at these things but this is just pathetic and I hope at least some of these people learn to listen and think for themselves.

[@rektifyr...]

KZbin manages to find new ways to disappoint me every day.

[@corbittscorner]

Why is KZbin marking this as offensive content??????????

[@terry4137]

He is a total breath of fresh air!!!

[@inkwellflood8276]

Most important,honest and fair man on the planet right now . We should bask and applaud such honour . Respect sir . ❤

[@rhondat123]

So you know, this video pops up with a disclaimer saying it may be offensive.

[@MorseCodeStutters]

rhondat123 it's offensive to dumbasses

[@gospideygo6061]

Why is there a warning on this KZbin video???

[@alanb7469]

Joshua Gaw Probably for psychology and agendas.

[@kacchi4008]

How and Why the actual fk was this clip specifically censored - it’s fucking harmless and just speaks the truth. Nothing here could be interpreted or misinterpreted to be “bigoted”.

[@jatigre1]

"There's no evidence whatsoever that the people who are conducting these protests know what it is that they're protesting against" LOL!

[@theaustralianis]

Congrats getting the trigger warning on this. Its the KZbin seal of approval that what's in it is important.

[@panther105]

The man is so goddamned under control. When he does get pissed it's because he's really been pushed and poked and then watch out.

[@OhWaker]

Thanks for putting the source + time stamp in the description.

[@jordanscarrott3749]

Oh Waker Great point! It's actually very useful

[@sciggler2880]

So those crazy people want people to listen to them but they won't listen to anyone else?

[@jnjnelson]

It's actually worse than that. The crazy people insist and command that everyone listens to and agrees with them, and they express the desire that those who disagree with them are silenced so nobody else can listen to divergent ideas. Their behavior is eerily similar to the textbook definition of despotism.

[@theredscourge]

Not listen, obey

[@gillymccyber1927]

The latest thinking is they’re signalling virtue and/ or loyalty to their group. The males are trying to get laid on top of all that. Shudder.

[@jmw402]

The descent into relative truth, which ends in chaos. Teach the children to think! Hopefully it isn't too late.

[@Fulano.de.Tal.]

jnjnelson you're right, they completely gave over their will to evil, that the leftist people no longer have freewill. The evil directs their minds and actions. They are exactly like robots or zombies. It's not limited to leftist people. The bible shows this crazy phenomena happen, when crazy people try to force God's people to do evil. Paul, a man of God wanted to go to Ephesus and heal their sick. But, when the people of Ephesus heard that Paul healed in the name of Jesus, the people gathered as one, and forced Paul out the city. One mindset is a very dangerous thing. Jordan Peterson talked about this in a video, he even used an example in the bible. The reason why it is dangerous is because the leaders often can have good intentions, but those with immoral desires turn the mob to do very atrocious actions. That explanation is more along a psychologists thinking. The bible explains why it happens from a different perspective. According to Paul, he wrote that when he witnessed these events, he saw that as people group together in one mind, evil angels begin to influence and direct the actions of the one-minded group. Mobs can go crazy, even without a "bad person" telling people to destroy things. I met a young man that believed in leftist ideas, and when my christian friend tried talking to him, he started behaving very strangely. The way a lot of leftist people behave. But, when i talked to him, his behavior started to become more normal. And he actually started talking to me. Sometimes i walk into situations praying to God to protect me from the evil angels, and things begin to go smoothly. Jordan Peterson went to give a talk, and the leftist, under evil influence, began behaving very crazy. If the leftist people had been inside, they could have pushed Jordan Peterson out the campus. That's what happened to Paul, he was forced out the city. As a christian, i am allowed to help other people, only if i do not tell people that i am a christian, and if i do not mention the name of Jesus. But, i can do nothing without Jesus, i can't heal anyone. Even Paul wrote that without Jesus, Paul could not heal people. Because the power to heal is Jesus. A Roman official saw this, and said to Jesus, "My child is ill, i am not worthy for you to be in my house, but i know if you say my child is healed, they will be healed, because the same way I, as an official, order my servant to go forth, they go forth, because i am a man of power and authority, and I recognize that you have power and authority over illness." Jesus was surprised at the Roman's words and said, "I have not seen so much faith in all of Israel." And in that same moment, the Roman's son was instantly healed. Wherever place Jesus is not, that place can be influenced by evil. So, when leftist gather, no one is safe. God honors the Republican party, because they align their platform with God. So when they gather, God is there. But the leftist platform is against God, so he does not stand among them, and evil begins standing among them, and the people turn into something else. Looking at the leftist people... no rational person would behave that way. They turn their will over to the evil that stands among them. America is starting to see the strange new battle that christians have been fighting in the spirit. It is a spiritual battle. Paul wrote, this strange battle is not fought with hands or with blood, but it is fought in the spirit. I believe Jordan Peterson is protected by God, because no leftist has yet laid a hand on him, as far as i've seen. They smashed their hands on the windows, and Jordan Peterson said, "they strike the windows, but they're trying to strike you." He says it in this same video. So far there hasn't been a fist fight, that has to be God protecting him. I've seen leftist people physically attack people. They will go that far. They are possessed by evil. If they can't touch Jordan Peterson, they will try to make him afraid, but he is not afraid. And this same video shows it, they tried to make him afraid, because they want to strike him, but they can't. God has to be protecting him. There is no other explanation i can think of as to why they haven't physically hit him. Regular people, regular republicans, have been physically beat by leftists. As much as leftists want to kill Jordan Peterson, he is too valuable, so he is protected. He has a mission, and everyone on a good mission gets adequate protection. Colton Noir is like Jordan Peterson. People on a good mission.

This will go as a great moment in history

Great video

[@GDX2470]

I just saw a Jordan Peterson ad for 12 rules of life right before this video. I’ve never been so approving of an ad in my life.

[@davidjohnson8655]

I agree with KZbin. Those zombies outside offend me and I'm glad they warned me.

[@hayk3000]

You know... I don't think this video will be recommended to people, which means KZbin is silencing it. Great job KZbin, nobody will see the perfect contrast of what is actually happening, you'll never see a video like this on trending

[@ghabhitho]

Nice to hear Dr Peterson, he is one of the smartest I have ever heard, truly deserving of respect

[@crazycat5958]

I will share this to as many places I can. Great work bite-sized philosophy.

[@parkerscheuermann3169]

Jordan Peterson is such an inspiration. So wise man...

[@michaelbrooks9647]

Glad you had the courage to post this video!

[@melartista]

There is something deeply disturbing in the banging on the walls & windows that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It was either as if preditors we're trying to get in to devour those inside, or that victims of some disaster outside we're seeking shelter to an ark already locked down. My mind knew neither was true, but the feral behavior of those outside had a chilling effect nonetheless.

[@isabellanakahara]

Shared this more than once. Thank you for your statement about KZbin.

[@richspizzaparty]

KZbin disgusts me. If Peterson wasn’t on it I’d leave completely.

[@benjaminflores3332]

great video

[@Al_Dee]

Very powerful moment.

[@Aces4433]

The content warning made me want to see it even more. . . Glad it was Peterson and his amazing knowledge. . .

[@sni1144]

The banging on the windows reminded me of the primate exhibit at the zoo. It is too bad that these protestors can't find a more articulate way to express themselves.

[@alanb7469]

sni1144 It can be the other way too. Just saying.

[@Thecodexnoir]

[@marnusvanwyngaardt218]

Brilliant! This should NOT be censored

[@divisionbyzero313]

What an austeer time we live in when what is being laid out before us is considered inappropriate? MAY THE ALL MIGHTY HELP US.

[@ironmonkey1990]

I want the option to share this video. In don't even think KZbin is giving us the option

[@BaussHauggOutlawz]

👏👏👏

[@steveworrell]

Why was this deemed as offensive?

[@JeanneDeSilver]

Haha, I had never seen Dr. Peterson just stop talking before (about the 1 min mark)! I was just to say wtf!

[@jarhead3571]

Jeanne DeSilver I thought I paused the video.

[@KrustyKrabbz2]

How would you make them stop? You can't force them to, and you can't scare them into stopping; they already think they are victims. So how could you make them see that what they are doing is ridiculous so they stop on their own?

[@TK-fm5ud]

I did not get the KZbin disclaimer on this video. Did they remove it? The only thing I found offensive about this video were the people pounding on the windows.

[@robhulson]

I came here just to Like the video and subscribe. I would not be turning my life around if it weren’t for Peterson’s clips, both summarized by others and posted in full. We are watching. We are driving views. And we will be the ones making money in this hierarchy because we are the ones intensely concerned with being valuable people.

[@adielwilson8749]

why can't I share this best video on this subject of his by far

[@barak363363]

1:05 lol

[@GranColombianoMapper]

“That’s the sound of Barbarians pounding on the gates.” - Jordan Peterson. That was fucking priceless.

[@coolerthanthy]

Why was this of all things censored

[@robertglidewell9494]

💥KZbinrs need to start including the title of their videos in the description as it is now no longer able to be copied. This makes your work more accessible in the long term. I always include this information when I post a link. With the title of the video it is possible to search the rest of the internet for a video that KZbin has arbitrarily deleted.💥

[@cecilia2856]

Hey, I didn't see any warning. Did they remove it? If so I'm happy that was just ridiculous.

[@BitesizedPhilosophy]

Yep they removed it today (no communication though), I just made a post about it in my community tab!

[@cecilia2856]

Bite-sized Philosophy Ah sorry I didn't read the update. Congrats!

[@mistermaumau]

I'm guessing this got flagged as "naughty" cause the people who were outside there sent so many complaints in to KZbin automatically triggered their system to do that. I totally understand that it would be nearly impossible for human moderation of all that, but they need some kind of anti-ban suggesting signal that users can trigger. Then if there's enough of that on both sides it flags it for human review, cause it will be awhile before AI can understand the irony of suppressing the speech of a professor talking about free speech.

[@Coryn02]

Glad this isn't censored, but it's still demoralizing to see this kind of thing happen so much.

[@devlinwolfwood3931]

I can't believe this got fucking sensored. Well, actually I can, but it's still fucked up. This was truly a defining moment --for all of us as human.

[@skoto8219]

This is the first time I've seen a "limited state" video with comments enabled. Did they change the system? If so, it's a step in the right direction - the disabled comments was infuriating, like they were saying "don't even discuss these ideas."

[@gonzaloruiz-esquide2540]

Google and KZbin should stop their unfair unjust and arbitrary censorship

[@americafirst3562]

Why is KZbin is still flagging this video?

[@Westile]

Reminder that videos are checked by algorithms not human eyes. Still no idea what's innapropriate tho.

[@StrongFreeLovin]

I skipped on this video but I've heard it's been flagged by KZbin, got to see it.

[@BitesizedPhilosophy]

Today the video was reverted back to normal again. There was no communication so I assume it was thanks to the vigorous engagement and critique of the audience that got it reverted. The initial decision to flag it was confirmed by manual review and I assume another human being decided to reconsider it thanks to you people!

[@selftransforming5768]

Im sorry youtube but you are wrong in targeting freedom of speech, specially so that you can pump out more consumist advertisements.

[@tonyholeman9142]

Just more proof of what JP is saying. KZbin appears not to support free/open speech. No cursing, no blasphemy, no call for violence, nothing but advocating free speech.

[@Rumprullarn]

Unbelievable that this has been flagged!!

[@blake3833]

Keep it up KZbin. Your only setting yourselves up for competition.

[@pamlione121]

This is not inappropriate except by you tube banning it....scary

[@nanchesca3950]

I'm sorry KZbin flagged your video, it is absolutely ridiculous and worries the hell out of me!! What a crazy world we're living in!

[@nataliafnorman]

WTF, KZbin?

[@eibhlinnichrualoai]

Totally no understanding of why this video is banned..this is crazy

[@johnstark5275]

He cuts too close to the bone which makes him a threat

[@stephenbrown7550]

I encourage others to send this to people and make it recognized how Google made themselves look like fools.

[@braxfistya547]

So... were there so many reports that program logic flagged it automatically, or did a KZbin-human actually review and develop the opinion this is inappropriate? Coz if they did...

[@franzliszt8090]

Offensive???

[@MiyagiNariyoshi]

Just subscribed to your channel because you must have truth content if KZbin is censoring stuff like this.

[@cosmo0906]

Wow! KZbin finds freedom of speech offensive, so they tagged this video as offensive?!

[@michaelparsons3007]

It was reported multiple times by the ones banging on the glass. I’d put money on it.

[@violentsheeple5045]

Fuck youtube trying to censor this.

[@euttdsiggh2783]

Shame...

[@cvcoco]

Every time I listen to Peterson, I feel like ive doubled my intelligence.

[@evandh1989]

And KZbin labeled this video “offensive”??

[@MrPlatano11]

Well this is been identified as offensive. We are in the new world, be careful with your words

[@BirdUpFR]

Views should be restored with an apology imo

[@sonnygmony]

KZbin fix it, this video is just not offensive to anyone.

[@bobDotJS]

What type of leftist cult deemed this offensive?

[@m35926]

The crowd is laughing at his comments but I'm confused why they're not terrified, not by the protestors but by the direction of society.

[@davidgusquiloor2665]

A freedom of speech video restricted for being inapropiate. It would be funny if it wasn't kinda scary that this happened in the first place.

[@riverwalker2021]

My cynical nature makes me suspect that - rather than one of his genuine opponents - one of Dr. Peterson's less scrupulous fans has (false) flagged this as inappropriate content in a misguided and devious (but very successful!) attempt to stoke outrage for the 'team'. If true, not something that the man himself would approve of, I'm sure. I could be wrong of course. Either way, I'm shaking my head. What a world, eh?

[@MA-rc2eo]

I see nothing wrong with video. It is just free speech, so why block it?

[@drsmiley540]

Dang KZbin you scary 😱

[@incipimitusiterum4261]

Is there some kind of reverse report we can do to say that this video isn't offensive?!?

[@chasefontaine8612]

There is nothing inappropriate about this video at all and any one against this, is against freedom of speech
