I don't like the man, he seriously sucks, but he needs an official wellness check. He's clearly becoming increasingly mentally disabled and things like this keep happening in his daughter's custody.
That's not a spiritual attack, it's mold induced pneumonia in a man with brain damage. He could easily be less capable of resisting the mold. Why the fuck was a man with brain damage trying to clean a moldy room without assistance‽
Like, seriously for all I hate the man I really get no joy from this, I don't want him taken away as punishment or anything, I'm mostly concerned for him. I don't think that the Peterson of a decade ago would be putting the Peterson of today in these positions.
Damn the replies to your comment are wild.
I agree with everything you say. I hate this man but I am not as petty as to think this is funny or that he should die.
This is the will of Elohim. Peterson is a wicked man, and he's being punished for his sins. He's violated the first amendment far more often than most people. He does it for every meal.
Im not concerned for him and I hope he fucks off and dies. The world would be better without him
An American style wellness check
By a SWAT team?
too disciplined, lower the training
By a platoon of mall security we gave assault rifles to?
He absolutely would if he thought he belonged to one of the out-groups to be persecuted. This fucker has shown no empathy towards others and has played a big part in the rise of fascism we're seeing today. He deserves no pity.
Everyone deserves some pity. If you don't think so then you really aren't a good person either.
I think he should be treated the way he treated others. Seems fair to me.
everyone deserves some pity at some point, yes
Peterson has used his up, and he no longer deserves any
We can pity him and be glad he's dying at the same time. He will be burned away in Sheol, and if any good is left in him when the sin is cleansed, he may find his way to Heaven.
When has he ever shown a single bit of empathy or remorse?
My empathy is with the mold in this conflict.
How would you define mold? How would you define conflict? How would you define is? That's what I thought.
(Kermit voice) What do you mean by mold? Mold in the metaphysical interpretation is a the creeping darkness of social isolation in the post modern environment that young men find themselves. Mold is the hidden predator that consumes even the dragon, the darkness that reflects the greater unknown that surrounds even the leviathan. If you take Moby Dick for instance, mold is the true antagonist, the great depths that surround and threaten both the protagonist, your physical self, and the whale, your metaphysical antithesis! It’s perplexing and I’m just on the verge of being able to understand it and perceive it, it’s right on the verge of my limitations to understand! tears up
That is an almost perfect Peterson sentence. Except, remove the mold, it's too concrete:
Now you can shuffle the building blocks around however you wish!
Etc.
Real good! I felt like I was listening to him being interviewed.
Or any other psychology prof on any campus.
Some of my best friends are mold.
Yeah, I mean seriously. What did the mold do to deserve being exposed to this asshole?
I think it is quite entertaining. The part I get no joy from is how his fascist followers still clings to every word he says despite himn being clearly completely unhinged.
Hopefully this kills him. The world will be a better place for it.
Sounds familiar...
Listening to entirely deranged people is normal for them.
Nah, fuck that fash, he's welcome to follow his leader any time.
I want him to die.
Fuck sympathy for these scum.
The world would be better off without him in it. Let him rot to death in mold and elder abuse, he deserves worse.
I’ll save my tears for the victims of his.
hes responsible for bringing men under gop/conservative influences, i saw an article on posted on reddit that he was paid handosomely by russia to spew his propaganda.
I remember hearing of him about a decade ago and the few times I heard him he was coherent and made some reasonable arguments
Since over 5 years ago he went off a cliff
Those weren't reasonable arguments, he's a con man. He mixes in truth with the cons.
