If making a career out of abusing/harassing women and minorities is hilarious to you, fill your boots.
Imagine being so ideologically possessed and humorless that you cannot find an ounce of sympathy for a victim of molestation.

How is him being molested relevant to him coordinating harassment campaigns, associating with white supremacists, etc.? Imagine being so ideologically possessed and engrossed by a serial abuser that you have zero empathy for the people he's abused.

Peterson: I don't have an issue with him. I agree with a few things he says, and mostly disagree with his views as he's super religious and bases a lot of his opinion and views on that. He's certainly not a fraud, and def not alt right, and def not a bad faith participant. If you think Jordan Peterson is a bad faith actor the problem is probably you. Or you haven't listened to him.

Shapiro: I listen to his podcast because he's the only right wing talking head I can stand, and usually I can only get through half of it each day. He's very good at creating the rules for "victory" and gaming each debate or argument so he can walk away with the win. He's a bad faith participant who manipulates arguments like Impeachment so he can more readily beat down his opponents views.

Rubin: A bad faith hypocritical piece of garbage.

LOL.

"Jordan Peterson didn't mean that in the way everyone would interpret it. To really understand what he meant, you need to *insert listen to podcast, read book, etc.*"

It's pretty galaxy brain to say Milo got blackballed for being abused as a child rather than you know, saying that adults ####ing kids is totally good and normal.

Also, let's not forget that Peterson, who consistently argues against equality of outcome because of the looming specter Marxism, simultaneously essentially argued that the solution to incels was equality of outcome in sexual partners, which is also completely insane.

Anyways, I didn't argue that Peterson argues in bad faith. I actually think it's a bigger indictment of him that he sincerely believes some of the ridiculous stuff he advocates.

I gave a real college try to read Maps of Meaning and I legitimately believe that Burrough's Nova Trilogy made more sense.

Like, even with the exhaustively detailed fan-made map it's still nonsense.

Spoiler!

See what I posted above. Basically anytime he comments on women or women's issues it's a complete dumpster fire. The all meat diet. Any of his takes on trans protection.

Jordan Peterson refuses to use the Oxford comma, and as such can be dismissed as human garbage.

For what it's worth, Peterson was beaten soundly on this idea by about 15 years.

"The Mind And The Brain" by Jeffrey Schwartz is 2/3rds intro to neuroscience and 1/3rd "What The Bleep Do We Know?" quantum brain bull####, and is much more readable than anything Peterson has published.

Sure, that seems a little silly. But what does it have to do with him being alt right?
