So what was this?

It is so flabbergasting that anyone takes life advice from this wreck.

“gamify romance”

there's a lot to take issue with but i'm going to start with the ultimate goal of marriage

make the bed.. more than her. it's how you win!

Rule #7 for keeping the spark alive: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. e.g. put yourself in a medically induced coma in a Russian rehab facility. She will love you twice as much when you come home.

This cunt is in Australia and merrily wading into culture wars - invited to Parliament House by right-wing headbangers, trying (and failing) to influence the result of a state election via amplifying transphobic misinformation, now whining about the widespread practice of acknowledging indigenous custodianship of land. There's probably more but I can't face actually looking at his cursed timeline.

In short, it was a much more pleasant world when threatened little babymen like this guy were deprived of the megaphone of Twitter.

His tour is basically the Unfuckable Men of Australia tour

No cause too odious

not interested in this guy making speeches or tweeting, please update the thread when he puts himself in another coma from malnutrition or whatever even more stupid thing he will do next time.

This seems...not great.

Don't mind me, just leaving this one here for posterity. pic.twitter.com/3XyhszKoWw

What a despicable asshole

Has climate change denial always been part of his repertoire? Very banal observation but: it's striking how the real grifters in this scene don't really have a coherent politics of any kind

Conservatives in no wanting to conserve anything shocker

So I'm going to guess that it's the WOKE that is somehow making antisemitism a "moral necessity" right?

I have no idea WTF he is talking about in that tweet, and I reckon he does not either.

But I bet he savored saying it.

Is he saying someone else says antisemitism is a moral neccesity? Either that or he welcomes hell? I dont get it.

Yeah, I think he's trying to say "when anti-semitism becomes perceived [e.g. by Kanye] as a moral necessity". I don’t see how the rest makes sense if he’s advocating anti-semitism as a moral necessity.

But whatever, he can defend his dumbass tweet himself

every possible interpretation of that is bad but uh yeah some are a lot worse than others

it's striking how the real grifters in this scene don't really have a coherent politics of any kind

yeah it was really notable watching him operate in Australia, just this series of scattergun interjections on "controversial" topics - ie those that are gonna get him some attention - i guess this guy's core brand for dumbos is "i am just fearlessly talking common sense", which can be tidily mapped onto whatever shitty prejudice he is spruiking and confers the superficial appearance of some kind of consistency

Yeah, I think he's trying to say "when anti-semitism becomes perceived [e.g. by Kanye] as a moral necessity". I don’t see how the rest makes sense if he’s advocating anti-semitism as a moral necessity.

Yeah I'd say that's the canonical interpretation but I think he's also aware that part of his fanbase will take it differently and willing to play into that while maintaining plausible deniability.

I think he is saying that the excesses of liberal society — “wokeness” — have provoked people into antisemitism, in the same way that the “degeneracy” (hitler’s word) of the weimar republic set the stage for nazism. He is saying antisemitism is bad, maybe, but that it isn’t the fault of the antisemites. Liberals made them do it.

It’s almost as bad as being straightforwardly antisemitic honestly. He is playing into the logic of antisemitism.

He's basically saying anti-semitism is the fault of the jews and when hell (i.e. the holocaust or whatever) happens again it will be deserved.

His whole thing has been conservative Christianity for quite some time, which usually tends to come along with certain views that have recently been glossed over by US evangelical support for Israel.

I’m sure he’d note that he just packed an auditorium in Jerusalem: https://www.timesofisrael.com/jordan-peterson-lightning-rod-of-us-culture-wars-receives-warm-embrace-in-israel/

But yeah, like a lot of Christian conservatives, he probably conflates “support for Israel” with “support for Jews.”

i hope he doesn't go the way of kanye. since kanye's comments, there has been an explosion of antisemitism online. things like q anon planted the seeds of this kind of worldview. peterson still has a vast following. people take him seriously.

they shouldn't; he is not a serious thinker.

of course they shouldn't, but they do.

xp Definitely not a serious thinker. He's mostly good at clumping various half-baked concepts together into a gobbledygook that sounds good to his legions in the manosphere. He makes them feel like intellectuals.

Anyone paying attention (ahem) knows exactly what this guy has always been.

I think it must be nice to have these things be this abstract. I wish I didn’t have to think about how someone who draws much of his support from fairly unconcealed misogyny and authoritarian fantasies was so popular with men. There are clearly enough men out there who think women need to be put back in their place and are increasingly vocal about it. You can talk about how the apparently suffocation of political correctness is forcing people into this charlatan’s arms, but that sidesteps some fairly obvious messaging about how the pay gap isn’t real, about how women use rape as a weapon, about how women are taking too many jobs and that’s why you can’t get one, about how women gravitate to rich men and you get nothing. There’s nothing subtle about it.

I think about growing up in Ireland when divorce, abortion and gay marriage were illegal, and how that’s basically his ideal country, and it gives me chills.

xpost yes, was corroborating your point.

Peterson's affect is sort of fascinating, because he tends to this kind of elegiac tone. Like villains in movies who tell the protagonist what a pity it is that they are going to have to torture and kill them.

lol

hahaha

Jordan Peterson trying to use The Exile like a grandma using facebook for the first time, typing "How Do I Message Bobby?" as a status update

Reviewing episode 2 of the JBP show! https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-we-watch-more-of-106734375/

remember when this guy’s kid was hanging out with a recently arrested alpha male type

his kid is a trip. she is allegedly the one who convinced him to stop consuming anything except beef, salt, and water.

I like how “beef, salt and water” is an anagram of said recently arrested alpha male type’s name plus “flabs”.

I hate to say this but "up yours woke moralists, we'll see who cancels who" in his dumb little frog noise is one of the funniest things a human being has ever said

It's hard for me to believe he's not playing a character sometimes.

My experience online has suggested to me that those who habitually use "dude" and "bro" are the derisive, narcissistic Machiavellian, sadistic trolls. Concluded after reviewing thousands of derogatory and inflammatory comments @datepsych https://t.co/oIxYfKzczX

derisive, narcissistic Machiavellian, sadistic trolls

that's quite an unusual set of characteristics to all appear in the same person at once. I suggest he find those dudes and get to the bottom of this.

well the girls would turn the color of some calamari
when he drove down their street in his red Ferrari
Jordan B. Peterson was never called a dude-bro
