The Jordan Peterson Thread

I'm sure this will be a mess in reality but Zizek's Lacanianism could, ideally, unravel JP's whole pseudo-Jungian schtick (I don't think JP is really equipped to unravel Zizek's schtick).

yall are talking about these guys like theyre pokemon which i am here for

i keep feeding zizek rare candy because i want to see what his evolved form looks like

it goes:
slavoj del toro -> slavoj zizek -> slavoj marx

Actually looking forward to this, but would much rather read transcript than watch and listen.

I feel that way about most things that are not music or movies.

I laughed way too much at this. pic.twitter.com/0vZoYlMcGR

I'll probably listen. The clashing of vocal tics seems like half the point of this debate.

ever since i clicked on this thread in a fit of boredom and saw that Kermit is being used to represent Jordan Peterson, I have had a big stomachache. That's not my Kermit! Kermit is his own frog, and even though literally no one cares what I think about this, I strongly object to using the image of Kermit to signify anything related to Jordan Peterson or his repellent beliefs.

Is this a widespread usage?

Yes. Sorry. :(

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i mean no on so many levels

This is an appropriation I can't accept!

Kermit is benevolent; JP is not
Kermit is generous and cares about his community; JP is selfish and self-serving

Where does this come from? Who would actually think that Kermit the Frog is anything like JP?!

it's just his nasally kermit voice, that's it

xp the voice

BARF. How dare they impugn Kermit this way? I want to karate chop JP followers Hi-YA Miss Piggy style for committing this crime of appropriation.

i sometimes do doubt the strategy of trying to zing the alt-right by turning their symbolic leader into the image of a green frog.

It makes me dislike them even more than I already did, which was...a lot

it's just his nasally kermit voice, that's it

also they hang out together sometimes

AGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH god he sucks so fucking much

there is no way i am abandoning the Kermit I know for this imposter

I'm able to hold contradictory thoughts in my head: Kermit the frog is a beloved icon and will forever be one of my favorites. On the other hand, JP sounds a hell of a lot like Kermit and it's really funny

I can completely understand not wanting to sully a pure figure like our favorite frog like this, though

I am also able to hold contradictory thoughts in my head; however, I have strong feelings about Kermit, he's not just any frog to me. I suppose this gives me something to argue about with JP followers, who I want to tell to fuck off anyway.

One of the most disappointing developments since his ascendance has been seeing people I thought were rational quote him, share his stupid ideas, and generally adopt the posture of a JP follower. Brain worms: they are real and they are rampant.

I hope he doesn't take up singing in case he sounds like Al Wilson from Canned Heat.

If he stuck to what's basically The Secret-level bullshit explaining how mythology organizes your life I'd brush it off, but nooo he has to have all these horrible opinions that are not only rolled between the book covers but into everything he does

ultra brain worms

i wish i could unknow this

I'm sorry I'm still stuck on this meat only thing. Has anyone actual solid proof that JP and his kin eat ONLY red meat and LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE?

This cannot be possible right?

Guys. That's not the real Kermit.

no, on the left

it is true that the real Kermit is long gone; I just don't acknowledge fake Kermit

wait can we check has he a russian accent because

i would like to be on record as loving the russian-accented fake kermit from that recent era muppet film

comedy russian accents are something I can't stop finding entertaining, and I blame yakov smirnoff appearances on night court during my formative years

Speech so free it wrecks spelling conventions.

We really are being held hostage by clowns like JP aren't we
