What a dream team I love this pic so much

He has a weird fixation on Stalin and the USSR, so naturally this means he's a secret Commie. Nevermind that a lot of "trad" people will start ranting about the evils of the USSR at the drop of a hat and have an in-depth knowledge of the Soviet Union that'd put a tankie to shame.

Admittedly I've said the same, but I was mostly just joking.

The thing is, his hateboner is such that he's claimed that Tsarist Russia was a better place to live in than the Soviet Union. It really, really wasn't. The people didn't want to get rid of the tsar for nothing. I've joked about this - that he gets his history from Don Bluth movies, like he gets his ideas on myth from Disney films - but he's a big fan of Solzhenitsyn and I think that's where he gets it.
 
I would think he would be more chill on benzos, but he looks like a sourpuss. It's a fucking picture taking time. Smile, even if you are an introvert.

Edit:
BTW, not so much his addiction damaged his image for me, but the substance he was addicted to. C'mon, benzos? Something that a proverbial middle-aged housewife takes to kill the boredom of her existence? For all this talking about masculinity I would expect him to have some manly addiction to idk decent booze, cocaine, you know, something cool-er? At least it's not CP, I guess.

I'm inclined to believe his daughter that he started taking them due to anxiety, just not the part about it being caused by a reaction to food (love the way she ties it to her grift).

As a psychologist, he should have known this wasn't a long term solution to his problem, and as JP, he should have acted on that knowledge to avoid the things that make him weak and instead seek a long term solution to his anxiety, but I also doubt he was ever taking them just for fun like a "cool" addiction. All that just makes him human though, the lolcow move is the sketchy medically induced coma in Russia.

With that I'm surprised Jordan doesn't criticize the french revolution and declare Marie Antoinette as some kind of royal revolutionist for giving nothing back to the common man.

I get it, he wants a functioning class structure where him and his kin are left alone in their ritzy Toronto suburbs paying little tax and the poor stay on the other side of the highway far, far, far away. This is what it's really ''aboat''.

For all I know he has, but his fans have.

Like I said, his view on Tsarist Russia comes from Solzhenitsyn, who was born after the revolutions of 1917 and never experienced it. In The Gulag Archipelago he actually wrote that the Tsarist secret police would have treated him better than the Soviets... again, they wouldn't have. Some of what they did would have made the gulag look like a picnic.

Vladimir Voinovich, another Soviet dissident, commented on the fact that Solzhenitsyn had an unrealistically rosy view of Tsarist Russia all the way back in the 80s and even made fun of that in one of his novels.

He also hated the West while in exile (while comfortably living and being supported by it).

This is pretty much the eternal conflict between left and right, one wants a functioning hierarchy, the other wants equality of outcome.

The right believes the left's ideas are dysfunctional, and the left believes the right's idea are unfair.

I would agree. Jordan isn't the first to cry ''Socialism''. Any time the wealthy aren't getting a tax cut or UBI (universal basic income) is brought up it's '''whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah communism''.

Even so, if we got rid of Reaganomics (in its continued legacy) of course we'd never have complete equality.

That's what I've always thought him from the get-go. All of his sycophants saying he's this Socrates-like figure just make me cringe until I turn inside out.

Peterson's appeal as a lolcow has always been the extremity of people's reaction to what is fundamentally boilerplate self-help advice. Whether it's trannies butthurt over his attitude towards pronouns trying to tell mainstream media that "clean your room" was a white nationalist dogwhistle, or the neckbeards acting like sobriety is some new, revolutionary concept "no one will tell you", Peterson was excellent at drawing out naive morons eager to share their ignorance with the rest of the planet.

It's why I'm so bummed he instead fried his brain on benzos and all I get for drama now is the ongoing conspiracy whether or not his daughter's running a Weekend at Bernie's scheme for real or if it just looks comically similar.

One of Peterson's main arguments against Communism is that "Complete equality is impossible!"

The thing is, Karl Marx took that into account when he was coming up with the theory and explained in his work just why complete equality is impossible. That's how you know Peterson never read him.

When Peterson makes arguments against Communism he isn't so much arguing against the theory and how it was implemented as his ideas about what it's supposed to be. He's arguing against a caricature of Marx, not Marx's theories themselves. Certainly someone could make a strong anti-Communist argument with a thorough knowledge of the system. Peterson just doesn't.

I wonder if Peterson has ever read Two Hundred Years Together...
 
Is it translated or is it "translated"? I could easily see certain people being creative with their translation.
