Idk name checks out

Kpins and pick up a coke habbit

Musk is using k, Peterson prefers benzos.

How would you define mold? How would you define conflict? How would you define is? That’s what I thought.

Yeah, I mean seriously. What did the mold do to deserve being exposed to this asshole?

Everyone deserves some pity. If you don’t think so then you really aren’t a good person either.

Propagandists are among the worst of the worst.

By a SWAT team?

Listening to entirely deranged people is normal for them.

The part I get no joy from is how his fascist followers still clings to every word he says despite himn being clearly completely unhinged.

Sounds familiar…

This is the will of Elohim. Peterson is a wicked man, and he’s being punished for his sins. He’s violated the first amendment far more often than most people. He does it for every meal.

Yeah then he went to Russia to be put in a coma to get clean. He went to Russia because Canadian and American physicians refused. Since he woke up he’s developed a reputation for crying in a lot of his public appearances including in situations where most people would be embarrassed to get that worked up. Like I think literary analysis is cool too and I can get emotional about it, but as a 30 year old woman I absolutely would not publish a take of a video in which I’m crying about the loyalty of the lancer to the hero and how it can serve to remind us of the value of friendship. Like the fact that that keeps happening to him indicates that he has a level of impairment to his emotional regulation.

And I’ll admit he was always an emotional guy. And it’s great that he was so willing to be vulnerable (though I suspect he’d be very unhappy with that description of himself), it’s just that while “boys don’t cry” is toxic masculinity, “there’s a time and a place for crying” is a cultural expectation.

Hanlon’s razor here: he went looking for any doctors who would do the procedure he wanted and couldn’t get it in north America or any of Europe west of Russia. That indicates that it’s stupidly dangerous without any foul play

Those weren’t reasonable arguments, he’s a con man. He mixes in truth with the cons.

Was a Nazi spokesperson and gun advocate that got shot.

Little face blood fountain

TIL.

This is fascinating, every once in a while you come across these comments that are truly edifying.

Sure but when a mast cell degranulates, it releases histamine, prostaglandins, and other stuff. He isn’t in the hospital for continuous anaphylaxis or pain/inflammation from like PGE2, he is there for a “mold infection.” It seems more likely that his mast cells perhaps died off rather than sensitized due to lack of use / chronic suppression and now he has almost like self induced AIDs/weakened immune system. And probably some vitamin deficiencies exacerbating everything.

Looking through the literature, chronic benzo use is indeed associated with weakened immune systems AND paradoxically heightened immune responses, probably due to genetic and environmental variability in response to taking those.

I still think he did some weird ass treatment with his coma in Russia though that he isn’t telling anyone about.

looks like the coma/benzos withdrawal is still having its effects on him.

I really do think there’s a very definite before and after. At one point he seemed to figure out exactly the cadence and wording that young men especially wanted out of a wisdom-giving father figure. I think he got a lot of mileage out of whining about that one Canadian law proposal at a time when transgendery things were (for better or for worse) less understood by most people. So even if you were sympathetic to them, there was a chance that what he was describing would raise your eyebrow. Didn’t matter that the narrative he was peddling was pretty much fiction.

And then COVID broke his brain, and he was suddenly terrible at hiding his power level. I think selling increasingly political books titled “All you need to do to live (part 4, final, this is the last one I promise)” and “All you need to do to live (part 5, okay no this one is the last one)” also tired another part of his audience.

Right now most of the people who looked up to him at the time, even those who both are (and acknowledge) that they are right wing, think he’s lost the plot.

It’s not a great reassurance that those who let go of him may still have probably been swayed net-rightward by his stuff. But his spiral and widespread perception as a laughing stock, and as a clear example of lack of moral integrity on the right, that’s also a factor. His red crying mug in his messy room is a meme on its own now. This is what he really is: a pompous, pontificating, fragile prick who can’t even use the good parts of his advice for his own sake. Even if it’s as simple as touching grass and cleaning up your shit.

At one point in my life, during his rise, I had a vaguely positive view of him, and I even bought his book. I viewed myself squarely as an open minded liberal person, and thought of him as relatively moderate. I come from an extremely conservative (in some ways) part of the world, so no alarm bells rang. But with continued learning and meeting new people I was able to rebuild a much more robust and morally sound view of the world and how it works. I recognized how caustic a lot of my beliefs that he influenced me actually are. One of the few things I miss from the old site is /r/ExLobster, it was so enlightening to see how many others went through the same process I did with this guy. It also took off the edge from the embarrassment I felt about falling into this in the first place. I was just vulnerable to his shit at that point in my life and there’s no shame in picking yourself up and moving forward. Then COVID happened, and while he put himself in a coma and wrecked his brain, my country had a multidimensional meltdown, and I did charitable work and mutual aid work and came out the other side with a radically new and solid foundation for my beliefs.

But you know what was the tipping point for me? It’s a very silly little thing I saw, I don’t recall particularly when. I intentionally avoided his subreddit because I thought I was an enlightened centrist who was above those weird right wingers who dominated that community. But I opened it on a whim once. And someone was asking about “Jordan-Peterson ideology compatible Anime”. Not sure what the exact words were. But there you go. Sometimes you need to see a word salad like that to see how ridiculous the company you’re keeping actually is.

I think he’s a fascinating case study of the grift economy. I genuinely think that if he was truly the conservalib old-soul psychology professor with an interest in the way Christian theology and vague folktale cosmology influence modern worldviews and narratives, he would definitely be someone I’d pay attention to. At least for his areas of expertise.

But we know now that he was always mad as a hatter, that he was trying to get famous a decade before he actually did, and that his actual beliefs don’t deserve an iota of public recognition. That the ways he couched them are the sum total of what he was bringing to the table.

The mythological Jordan Peterson isn’t necessarily a bad guy, the original character, as played in like 2016. The actual one is a pathetic, and now failed cult of personality grifter, an enabler of great evil.

I hope he feels a fraction of the pain he has caused before he kicks it.

putin funds him so, he is important to bring in more men into fold of manosphere/conservatism, by saying his pseudointellectual psychobabble.

The last No Kings protest in my town literally had a coven of witches standing in front of the courthouse casting hexes on Donald Trump. It was pretty legit.

I don’t even think they want to preserve the status quo. They want to move back to serfdom.
