Ah, Kermit the Fraud, been a while since I've seen him around.
How the hell was he already 12 when he was born?
Is this the guy that had to be put into a coma to overcome alcoholism?
Yeah, but benzos. And it he didn't have to do it - in fact, no Western doctors would do it. He had to go to Russia to get doctors reckless enough to put him into a medically unnecessary coma.
I thought it was benzos, but itās been so long since Iāve thought of this sham, so I might be off.
Might have very well been, but I'm not gonna look it up. My brother used to think he was an intellectual, and I had to shoot him down. Fuck this guy forever.
Is this the guy that had to be put into a coma to overcome alcoholism?
No, this is the guy that had himself put into a coma to overcome an addiction.
Iām very much not a conservative, nor am I too involved in politics, but I swear at the beginning what he was saying kinda made sense? I stopped āfollowingā him a bit after that but from what I remember he wasnāt that bad at first. I hope at least, I was younger so I may remember only partially.
He was less insane in the early days, but it was mostly generic self-help stuff other than the occasional outburst against the liberal menace. "Clean your room, value yourself" sort of thing.
Damn liberals. Telling us to clean things.
at the beginning what he was saying kinda made sense?
He had to ease people in and build a following before he got to the really crazy and/or chauvinist and bigoted stuff.
If he'd come right out and said what he REALLY meant immediately, his theories would never have been taken seriously by anyone.
Which they of course still shouldn't be.
Abuse of prescription drugs and an experimental detox and recovery seriously fucked up his brain.
Like, on some level I feel bad for him. His wife was dying of cancer so he got a script from his doctor and then lost control and broke his brain.
On the other hand though... Fuck him. His actions have caused and are still causing harm to people. He should have retired when he had the chance.
Broken clocks are right twice a day too.
Like a lot of his stuff about sucking it up, cleaning your room, getting small victories, and preaching to an ignored male demographic landed well. But if you dig deeper he's not really selling anything a self help book wouldn't, and a lot of his other points veer off into standard Conservative Christianity.
And that's before he started getting really weird with the carnivore, culture war, drug use, etc. nonsense
depends what you mean by ābeginningā
early in his career? sure he was pretty normal back then
when he first started popping off about that one law in canada by which no one has actually gotten in trouble for misgendering someone, despite his claims and really started his internet presence? yeah he was already fucking insane then and has only gotten worse
Same man. Very much same.
Jordan Peterson: Increasingly making women unhappy since 1962.
He describes himself as a classic British liberal? By God.
Yeah, conservatives sometimes do that. The "classic liberals" they're referring to are liberals by 1700s (if not 1600s) standards.
So basically progressive enough to be against flogging their slaves in front of guests or punishing loitering with deportation to Australia.
What a strange description. I guess more like capital L Liberal in Canada.
I've been increasingly unhappy since hearing the incessant yammering of Jordan Peterson. Has he been incessantly yammering since his birth in 1962?
Classic British liberal. A liberal is the only one of those things that he is.
In the sense that he bleeds something else when you scratch him, maybe.
Indeed.
Not sure if the title is a Brainiac reference or not, but glad to be reminded of it.
Just a happy accident, admittedly š
