I vaguely recall this twitter exchange potentially even popping up in this thread, but I love this new twist: https://twitter.com/river_is_nice/status/1486209443129970688?s=20 An actual Langley ghoul popped in to say "nuh uh!" to the joke about how escalating tension with Russia was in service of the Military Industrial Complex.

Skwirl posted:I just realized this plan involves driving ground troops through Canada. I really hop this Ukraine dumb bullshit doesn't cause a hot war with Russia, but if it does, the only reason we'd drive troop through Canada is to fight someone in Canada. If we're gonna invade Russia it's gonna be through boats and planes. Siberia is a bigger problem. The Bering Strait bridge/tunnel mega project gets discussed every now and then, linking Alaska with Russia. A big challenge is that even if you manage to build the bridge, and have a use case for it, you’re thousands of miles from any kind of useful infrastructure in Russia. In an area that is incredibly harsh, even by Russian standards. Edit: called this the Barents Sea, I always get the two (ok three if you include Baltic) mixed up.

Blackula Vs. Tarantula posted:Maybe now, but he hadn't even written "twelve rules for life" until he was already famous for his opposition to canada's expansion of it's harassment laws to include misgendering people. As far as I can tell, the timeline is something like: I remember the first time I ever properly heard of Jorps he was having a heaving meltdown on Twitter about the psychosexual lesbian empowerment politics of the hit Disney children's movie Frozen, and I then went "Wait, is that that U of T professor who got fired for intentionally misgendering trans students like an rear end in a top hat or something?"

Right, which was when he hopped into the alt-right grift. I'd always understood he'd published some of his pop-psych self help books and they'd just never sold until he became a grifter. Like Maps of Meaning (the book with the dumb chaos dragon poo poo) was from 1999. At one point he was even heavily cited in his field. That's one of the talking points used to pretend he's not a moron and his 'Joseph Campbell but from wish' shtick should be taken seriously. I'd always been under the impression that he was an academic who wanted to be a Dr. Oz sort, so when the time was right made a big deal of destroying his academic career to build his grift, but I guess he might've just been a crank who got lucky and found a parachute after jumping out of the plane.

He said this in the interview and immediately continued believing all his dumb horseshit, saying the same stupid things, and pushing the same idiot agenda. He ducked a question and feigned humility and didn't change a loving thing.

I'm certain China would simply adore having America marching their troops across a frozen barren wasteland for a week within strike distance of their northern border. It would be like a real life Civ game, you get too close to the AI when you're only one aggression point away from them declaring war and loving you up. What could go wrong?

Another fun Jorp thing was that one time where he was giving a long interview to the NYT (or something similarly high-profile) and basically went "society would be better if we mandated monogamy again and ensured every man had a girlfriend/wife, so that unfuckable men wouldn't be sad about being alone anymore". That one went over like a lead balloon, to the point where I'd say it was probably the point where mainstream opinion of him started swinging around from "rising star philosopher" to "weird reactionary crank". Even his ardent supporters can't muster up any defense better than "he just said it would be better, not that we should actually do it".

Another thing his fanboys tend to gloss over is his overt Christianity fawning, which doesn’t really jive well with the edgelord atheist incel section of his fan base.

Coolness Averted posted:It flowed both ways -especially once Jorp realized he could get in on the grift train. I refuse to believe that is the case. I'm guessing you (understandably) haven't read any of his books, but he's somehow even worse at writing than he is at public speaking, and there is no actual self-help to be found in his books. The infamous "clean your room" chapter is actually titled "set your house in order before you challenge the world" or some such bunk, and it's just a hot mess of random bible quotes, stories of ancient rulers who got shanked by a courtier, and intrusive thoughts about how happiness isn't real and no one is ever actually happy and other people are just pretending. The closest thing to advice that can be gleaned from that chapter is "don't leave your flank exposed, like, in life." There's also a chapter about being a good listener that is just a long diatribe about one of his clients who he concludes is a dumb bitch with no thoughts or inner life worth responding to, and a chapter about being concise which is yet another long aimless rant. It is regressive politics all the way down. No one has read a jorp book and gotten their poo poo together. E: BigglesSWE posted:Another thing his fanboys tend to gloss over is his overt Christianity fawning, which doesn’t really jive well with the edgelord atheist incel section of his fan base. Oh no, that's by design. Jorp's brand is specifically selling evangelical christianity to internet atheists, and bridging the gap between two groups who have everything in common.
