Again, Jordan Peterson’s actual PhD is in Treating Addiction without Destroying your Life. It doesn’t matter how specific your field of expertise is, if you’re a dumb enough general fucker, you’ll find a way to gently caress it up.

I saw Jordan Peterson the other day. He was yelling and kicking at a buncha dogs. Granted they were a bit close and not acting friendly (they wanted the raw beef he was carrying) but still kind of a dick move.

It's also just emphatically bullshit because countless extremely powerful people that effect enormous amounts of people in this country have varying degrees of disastrousness in their lives including adultery, alcoholism, pedophilia, spousal abuse, child abuse, etc. etc. so to claim that the average person should be in utter control of their life and mental faculties before they go out to campaign for change when the people in charge of this country can't help but being deranged rapists is the most transparent "The standards for poor people are much stricter than the standards for rich people." garbage on earth.

The worst kind of a lie is one that has some truth embedded within it, because it becomes difficult to disentangle them, and the people telling those lies will fight that disentanglement with every bit of dishonesty they can muster.

The thing is, there is definitive proof that taking daily time and effort on self-care has a huge impact on people's feelings of worth. Spending that time - however much, on whatever it addresses, from doing the dishes to cleaning the toilet or whatever - is a practical and symbolic good. That kind of mess is often the first sign of depression, and addressing it is a pivotal step in recovery.

Should anyone's space be utterly perfect? Nah, nobody who knows human nature would ever say that in good faith. He says it in bad faith.

I saw Jordan Blezinski Peterson at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

While taking his "clean your room" stuff to literally mean "clean your room" is hilarious; the deeper connotations are that you should focus on yourself before critiquing others. I find that this is generally a good idea. HOWEVER,

The problem is that when you follow this train of thought the endgame is basically "Don't worry about anyone else, no matter how good or bad their ideas are, until you've reached some arbitrary indicator of personal success". This is of course ridiculous, and as we've seen, JP and his supporters will continually move goalposts, rendering the critique irrelevant. Its especially ridiculous when you examine the inherently exploitative nature of western capitalism. This idea summarily dismisses the agency of anyone who hasn't achieved a certain vague notion of self-actualization (poor, mentally-ill, minorities, women).

He specifically uses the "clean your room" analogy to denigrate people protesting increasingly dire economic conditions under western capitalism:

So while at face value this seems to be an easily digested slogan, what its actually doing is calling anyone who hasn't succeeded under the current system a lazy slob, a tiny aquatic insect that deserves the muddy scraps their forced to feed upon.

Also, as Zizek put it in their debate: how about telling a citizen of North Korea to "first put their OWN house in order, and so on".

Fake news because Arbys serve their meat with evil carbs and, *visible revulsion* , vegetables therefore not suitable for Dr Peterson's daughters needs.

I mean, only if they let me cook the raw steak I carry with me on their grill, I guess.

Jordan Blaaaaabl Peterson once went got all hopped up on apple juice and dissapeared from his home, reported missing and presumed dead. He was found 15 days later naked in an Aldi's, demanding more vitamins and minerals. He has been restrained and is back on the all-meat diet that keeps him controlled and docile.

The one you should probably pick up is The Sublime Object of Ideology, but be warned: it's pretty incomprehensible. It has funny jokes in it though.

JP supporters all sound EXACTLY like the PUAs of the early 2000s, has anyone noticed that? Its all the boys who got picked last putting on striped shirts and lecturing you about "game" like its some big secret.

Yep. Same with "radical centrist"/"intellectual dark web". Just old poo poo that's been re-constituted and given a new label. Around the turn of the millennium they were called "South Park Republicans". It was a comfortably edgy and seductive above-it-all worldview that I almost got sucked into around the time I joined this site. Essentially it boils down to: "conservatives are bad, but leftists are even worse, and people who take the effort to protest and get tear-gassed over things like the WTO or the Iraq invasion are just cause-of-the-week lifestylists and also they're shrill and bitter and at the end of the day they're really just doing it to lash out at their parents".

In 2040 they'll have a new term like "Lieberman Liberals" or something equally cringy.

Comfortable white boys will always be drawn to ways of thinking that allow them to feel smart, take credit for everything good about their lives, and blame others for each frustration. I guess something to be happy about is that comfortable white girls are much less willing to date them.

As the middle class falls away and more and more white kids are exposed to debt slavery and environmental collapse, we might see this attitude continue to be replaced by dead-eyed school-shooter manifestoes and nazi marches.
