The Jordan Peterson Thread

Jordan Peterson, tearing up: "And it turned out bofa wasn't a word at all, just a duplicitous pretext to say 'bofa deez nuts.' We are teaching today's young men to deliberately lie about bofa."

Joe Rogan: "That's crazy."

JORDAN PETERSON (crying on YouTube about “Strutter” by KISS): She takes him down… [sobbing] and drives him wild

So the video is apparently JP saying that he would rather die than agree to take down his wildly offensive transphobic tweet about Eliot Page, in case anyone's keeping a list of the ridiculous things this laughable shit has come out with. Aren't his followers getting a bit tired of this now? Yeah guess not.

He can die.

the friend I had to lose touch w/ cos he was posting Candace Owens videos apparently has moved on to JP as his new idol.

Wait, you mean Bophides wasn’t a Greek philosopher?

Lol

genuinely hilarious stuff, taken from twitter so that I don't wreck my/your YouTube recommendations

I don't know much about this guy, but he sounds like a Mike Lindell level lunatic. And clearly the sort of weirdo who would record his own hostage video.

You DAMNABLE BLOODY SONS OF BITCHES

record his own hostage vid then get immediately kidnapped by his own daughter for the purposes of (yet more) horrific socio-chemical experiment

and yet he isn't even the most absurd figure in the IDW pantheon lol

Still not convinced this isn’t a very good impersonator, for how can someone so successfully clown themselves

really hate that I know this person even exists. what an embarrassing stupid world.

Oops this was that broken link I posted upthread.

This is the last straw. LGBT is an initialism, not an acronym, Dr. Peterson. I am DONE with you.

This would be sort of entertaining if one knew that this _______ was not influencing anyone's thoughts. But the idea that he has any devotees at all is so disheartening.

I’d rather he died than delete his tweet, too. I’d rather he died than most things.

I just have such contempt for anyone who could look at Peterson and not see an abject failure of a human being, failing deeper and deeper and ever turning to hate rather than introspection in the face of such abject failure.

Sigh, oh for the days where we were just eyerolling at David Avocado Wolfe

There’s a name you don’t hear much anymore! tbf I reckon there’s like a 99% chance Wolfe is full nazi now (and 1000% he’s an antivaxxer that’s not even a question)

Luckily I can't be bothered to go thru the thread to find the ILX rube who stood up for this monster

xp had a look at his twitter, yes borderline nazi plus bonus pro-guns and pro-russia, guess these things all come together as a bundle these days

It's weird how a bunch of people decided to embody the old "scratch a hippy, find a nazi" trope

lol yep educated guess on my part there, it’s always a reasonable assumption with these ppl

Old news tbh, I'm more impressed by the nazis I've found scratching punks and 90's alterna types recently.

Oh god yeah but I'd argue a lot of those dicks are hippy adjacent

the one solitary person on this thread who respectfully defended JP is a 90's alterna type poster.

After making that professionally produced video about how he would rather die than delete the tweet, it seems that he has now, without comment, deleted the tweet. sorry I know this will be a disappointment to many of us.

Maybe he's dead?

not getting my hopes up again

Whatever happened to those assistants who were supposed to be resetting all his passwords so he couldn’t get on social media? Total failures.

They changed the password for everything to "jordanpetersonisafuckingidiot" not reckoning with the idea that he'd type that himself, in a fit of beef-induced delirium and self-loathing, and be able to get online once again...

too busy cleaning their rooms, those monster energy cans arent gonna recycle themselves!!!

His mannerisms are bizarrely "campy", like Trump's in some way. Bizarre how these behaviours strike such a resounding chord among bigots and broken people.

They can't cry or enjoy musical theater so they need people to do it for them.

the combination of always presenting himself as an ultra-rational robot and at the same time being one of the most thin-skinned drama queens around is just delicious, you could not write such a character, nobody would believe it.

They sure would; it’s a type.

"what rules you sons of BITCHES" is just gonna have me lol'ing until judgement day

This is what happens when a creepy bigot who wanked over photos of an actor because they looked like a teenaged girl has to deal with the fact that they actually wanked over pictures of a man, and their brain breaks.

I mean, this could be the most genius parody ever.

"That was a straight wank! You can't CHANGE THE RULES mid-wank!"

Maybe this is kind of obvious by now, but I think Peterson had one really important insight that could have been beneficial if used differently, which is that many young men in our society are never taught to care for themselves, and that a sort of gentle-seeming but paternalistic "intellectual" figure makes a good delivery vehicle for young men to hear the message that they should care for themselves, just the right balance and empathy and firmness such that young men don't receive it as some kind of "corny/wussy self help." There are no Stuart Smalley-esque self affirmations -- the self affirmation is in action. Clean your room. The implicit idea in that is that you deserve a clean room, but the affirmation comes from the act, not looking in the mirror and saying "I'm good enough." The problem is that since no one else was doing it, there was a vacuum open for a Jordan Peterson to couple that paternalistic self care message with all kinds of hateful crap as he does. Is a left Jordan Peterson possible or an inherent contradiction? IDK but I think it would be good if there was some kind of left figure offering young alienated men that same kind of affirmation.

In my opinion, plenty of figures deliver positive messages to young alienated men every day, some are family members, some are friends, some are professionals, the problem is that some of these men need the message to be wrapped in misogyny and anger. There's a whole world of help in which any man can live happily between 'corny/wussy' and Peterson's hatred.

Who is a male public figure who is relatively liberal/left and fits that description?

That's a good question, and I've never looked for one.

I do wonder if therapy was more easily accessible would Peterson would be as successful?

I don't think we will find such a man among the ranks of self-promoting, YouTubing academics.

Jordan Peterson is just Randy Marsh, unanimated

It's hard to target "how to be a good man" stuff from an explicitly left perspective because contemporary lefties tend to realize that the "man" part is BS and it's really just how to "be a good person."
