Throughoot humanity's existence, there's been a deep understanding, it can be seen in some of our foundational mythoalogies, that consumption of apple proaducts precedes a dire fall of some kind.

drinking a glass of cider during a meat-only diet seems insane, like breaking your Atkins with a funnel cake

Her previous article was about how Democrats need to stop using “abolish ICE” as a slogan.

i read some of that link unfortunately and now i long to be consumed by hellfire

"Okay, he's an overgrown, petulant child who doesn't know what words mean. But he's not a racist. He's just sort of indirectly saying a racist thing!"

But Peterson’s point (and you can watch him yourself) wasn’t that gay people are unfit to parent; it’s that children are better off with both male and female role models in their lives. This, frankly, doesn’t seem all that homophobic to me (and I'm actually a homosexual):

Katie Herzog is a terfy concern troll waste of column inches and since she hasn’t been laid off from the stranger yet she must get along with Dan Savage which is itself a sign of weak character

I would like the Stranger to go out of business as soon as Heidi Groover gets a better job.

a friend in durham sent this article about his condemnation by the durham city council and oh my god what a fuckin dweeb he is

"City of Durham’s statement is one of the purest demonstrations I have yet seen of the tendency for the ideologically possessed to use denouncement tactically as a means to amplify and exaggerate personal or identity-group virtue. To lay this bare, I have composed this analysis of the psychological motivations and narrative structure of the statement."

JP has written the preface for the reissue of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago:

of course he has

wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Monday, 30 July 2018 14:21 (five years ago) link

On brand that he would want to write it. The question is why Penguin would publish.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 30 July 2018 14:23 (five years ago) link

gulags are officially good now

The ‘why’ is pretty clear - people doing the introductions are credited as co-authors, and come up as such, on Amazon.

marxists, to be exact

Οὖτις, Thursday, 2 August 2018 19:59 (five years ago) link

JP’s whole thing is literally “Marxism is evil and murderous ideology” and I don’t remember Laetitia ever having a Corgan goes on InfoWars moment so it’s really confusing.

She's involved with all that Living Marxism/Spiked lot who are basically Libertarian trolls.

Father Ted in Forkhandles (Tom D.), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:12 (five years ago) link

Imagining Peterson vs. Stereolab as a right vs. left thing is wrong and pointless. Sadier's lyrics contain plenty of sympathetic common ground with the likes of Peterson.
