it is bleakly funny that jordan peterson's been very clearly and publicly insane for some time and the sensible media has to ignore it so they can keep writing sober 5,000-word thinkpieces about what his appeal means for the souls of our young men
It would appear that the Slimey tweet is sadly fake, and the (excellent) work of @junlper.bsky.social. So let me post just some of the actual tweets he's posted in recent times. Toilet rolls are tyrants, Braun are Nazis and Sainsbury's want you to eat bugs.
Such an irony that, of all the large German multinational corporations, he chose pretty much the only one that doesn't have to have a paid member of staff constantly monitoring the 1933-1945 section of their Wikipedia.
I won't post the Joe Rogan clip, unless its wanted, but Peterson crying as he recalled seeing some nondescript honky-tonk band and dancing................
amongst people................
to music.
The version of it, which you're probably talking about, where the JRE appearance is played alongside the actual video of him dancing and the band playing, is just bonkers. The man is patently not all there yet his supporters just blithely ignore & talk as if he's a functioning academic/reference.
Even before Peterson lost the plot, Ten Rules for Life was just The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius for people who didn't realise that they'd managed to read Nineteen Eighty-Four without understanding it.
I mean, if I had a benzo induced breakdown and it was clear that breakdown was still on going I would hope that my friends and family would keep me away from the internet.
Jordan Peterson is what happens when a generation of people watch Network and think the "I'm mad as hell" speech is deep and profound, while missing that the entire point is that Howard Beale has had a massive breakdown and is a sad broken wreck of a man who's completely lost touch with reality.
After he thought cum milking porn was a Chinese operation it was very clear that he will believe and say anything for attention. He's a classic charlatan with more midlife crisis.
I remember when Zizek debating Peterson a few years back and ask JP 'Where are the Marxists' that JP keeps spouting about everywhere. He couldn't name any and just kinda sat there for a bit confused
If a humble double fisting hotdog enjoyer can knock out JP so easily, it makes you think
Disappointed it's fake. I would be utterly unsurprised to learn he vaguely resents anyone, especially a fictional character, having a birthday on June 12, though
