Peterson made the announcement at the beginning of a nearly two-hour sit-down interview with his daughter Mikhaila Peterson, posted on her YouTube account on Dec. 6.
They were quick to reveal that Peterson decided to move to the U.S. due to a myriad of reasons.
“The government in Canada at the federal level is incompetent beyond belief and it’s become uncomfortable for me in my neighbourhood in Toronto,” said Peterson.
Said reasons include his ongoing beef (ho ho) with the College of Psychologists in Ontario, but also this because how dare anyone try and tell him not to be a transphobe or something… admittedly Margaret Atwood doesn’t like this bill either and I’d be much more inclined to take her seriously on it than him, but if the Hulk Hogan of theology is opposed to it there’s probably something going for it? Also I suppose most of his cult is down south anyway, so if nothing else the exchange rate will probably work in favour of the grift…
So Jordibles is making the media rounds for his new book, here’s him on Jesse Watters’ program wearing what looks like a fairly sensible suit for a change. I saw this grab posted on Bluesky, I forget by who, but I presume it was the chyron that attracted them cos that’s certainly what attracted me; I don’t know if Kermit himself said this or if he just agrees with the sentiment (I refuse to watch the interview to find out), but either way those are hilariously incongruous words to juxtapose with this drug-addled clown… I have his book, by the way, obviously obtained through a dubious channel because fuck him, so I will read it at some point even if, frankly, I have no hopes for it being anything more than his usual…
…Jurr Durr’s mental health death spiral continues:
Apparently not dying in traffic accidents is woke now. This is the story, for what it’s worth. But, if the person commenting on the Twitter post where I grabbed this is correct, there’d only been three deaths in the five years before this “daylighting” thing was introduced, so it’s not like it was the world’s most dangerous intersection anyway. This, at least, is what I read and I don’t know if it’s true or not, but if it is then I do wonder why none of those deaths provoked the change that the old woman’s death did…
Anyway, that’s the Peterson tweet drawing most of the attention from other online types, but it’s not the only one he’s made having a go at AP:
Taking care of children is woke too, evidently. Then again, this is the man we’re talking about:
…a man for whom being asked to use a bit less paper towel and then put it in the recycling bin constitutes “tyranny”. If he hadn’t always been an awful person, I could almost believe he was doing as some sort of comic performance art or something. He has, undeniably, committed to a bit. I just wish it were a less harmful and obnoxious one.
So one of Jordan Peterson’s tics
on his Twitter account
in recent times
has been writing his tweets like this
in short lines
as if they were poems
which I’ve no doubt he keeps doing
mainly because other people snipe at him for doing it
just like Nick Cave kept his moustache
to piss people off
But the content of his “poetry”
is arguably the real problem
particularly in this instance
the logic of which I do not understand
as if “trying new sexual experiences”
necessarily means doing them
with the same sex
rather than men and women
doing things with each other
Apparently in spring
a bitter old Canadian’s fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of men
doing dirty, dirty things
I can’t understand why
especially since I don’t think Jordan
wants new experiences of any sort
least of all sexual ones…
unless perhaps
large quantities of meat are involved
and if they are
I’d rather not know how
At any rate I think
I prefer his older stuff to his newer stuff
if this is indicative
D minus, come and see me after class
Jordan Peterson’s daughter reminding him that their side has idiots too. (Everything I’ve seen about Pearly indicates that she is indeed a complete fucking tool, to be sure.) Fascinating that Mikhaila is snapping back at her old man like this… cos remember she snapped at him a bit when he reposted the “Chinese Communist milking machines” a few months ago, too. Onviously she and him share politics broadly, but she seems able to see through at least some of the shitheads on the right, moreso than daddy does, and she’s… reluctant, perhaps, to let get away with at least some nonsense? I don’t suppose Jurr Durr will take much notice, though, cos after all, even if Mikhaila is his own daughter, she’s still just a woman…
I just saw someone post a screenshot of these tweets from Canada’s finest in a Facebook group, and I found it just… too hard to believe it was real. This had to be something someone had mocked up.
Someone had not mocked it up.
That is my own screenshot of those two actual tweets by Jurr Durr. I saw them with my own two eyes, both of which of have since been removed from their sockets for their own good. CHRIST ALFUCKINGMIGHTY, like the battle of the billionaires wasn’t a fucking stupid enough concept without this cunt chiming in with THIS contribution…
On the occasion of World Poetry Day, I think it’s time I finally talked about something I’ve been meaning to talk about for a while now.
Jordan B. Peterson’s poetry.
And I don’t mean that hideous “children’s book”, I mean something he actually posted on his website presumably quite some time ago, though I will briefly mention that… or at any rate I’ll point you to a couple of Youtube videos:
Firstly, one from José which was how I discovered this book was a thing in the first place (he notes that Peterson himself seems to be doing oddly little to promote it, having apparently deleted his own video about it and I can’t see it mentioned on his website either, which is certainly… interesting) and discovered Jurr Durr had written a terrible Edward Gorey knock-off…
…and here’s Rachel Oates, who knows poetry, writes it, performs it, understands it, and is able to explain just why it’s a terrible Edward Gorey knock-off. Enough about that, what I want to talk about instead is… this. I’m going to take the liberty of quoting the thing entire in case the good doctor remembers its existence and decides to delete the evidence that he actually wasn’t bad at poetry once…
So Mikhaila Peterson, Jordan’s daughter, posted this tweet (which was posted in the Puzzle in a Thunderstorm FB group):
Now she knows how the rest of us feel about the things her old man says
(Parenthetically… Fuller? Is that her married name? Interesting if so that she sticks to Peterson as her grift… er, professional name, that must be where the money is…)
Regrettably, when I went to see first-hand what had so hurt Mikhaila’s eyees, daddy had already deleted the offending post. Fortunately (for me, not him) this is the age of the screenshot, and few things are truly lost to the Internet, hence it only took a few seconds to find what the issue was:
…And now I almost wish I hadn’t
WHAT?
Jordan stahp
WHAT?
The end times are upon us
WHAT
THE
FUCK?
So… somehow, Jordan “that’s a lot of goats” Peterson saw this BDSM fetish video and, also somehow, decided it must be footage of a Chinese government scheme to separate men from their semen. And then posted it to his Twitter. No wonder Mikhaila was aghast. Plus, as others noted, Peterson’s Twitter following is not only massive (nearly 4m followers—including, alarmingly, a few of my own Twitter mutuals, who I hope are following him ironically but I fear at least one might not be) but, as others have noted. probably also contains a fair proportion of, you know, non-adult people. Teenagers not yet over the age 18. Kids. Being exposed to extreme fetish porn by a complete fucking idiot. I mean, I’m sure most of his actual adult followers really didn’t want to see that either, but the non-adults really didn’t need to see it…
I genuinely don’t know what to make of this. I’ve been loathe to cast doubt on his mental health until now cos I think that sort of thing is too easy to do; I understand where Jake from Bible Reloaded was coming from when he suggested (in as nice a way as possible; I forget exactly which video he first suggested that in, but you really should watch the entire series anyway) that Mr 28% Goats might be somewhere on the autism spectrum, and to be honest that wouldn’t entirely surprise me if he were. But equally he could just be a fucking dreadful human being; I know quite a few people on said spectrum and, oddly enough, being whatever kind of autistic they are hasn’t made any of them completely shitty.
I don’t like medicalising people are who just awful, because when they do/say awful things they should be held accountable, and ascribing some medical condition risks that not happening. This is why I never liked casting aspersions of that sort on Donald Trump when others were diagnosing him with things like the early stages of dementia or something; Trump was and is a monstrous failure of a human being and has never been anything else. Similarly, I’m unhappy about attributing Peterson’s issues to his well-documented drug problems, and I should probably clarify that I don’t judge him at all for having those problems (as someone who was awfully close to alcoholism at one point, more so than I like to think/admit, I can’t really look down on him there). I do judge him for clearly having learned nothing from the experience, but that’s another matter. At any rate, I’ve been doubtful about the extent to which it might’ve affected his mental health, cos he’s such a basically unpleasant person now but then he always has been…
…Up to now, anyway. This whole episode makes so little sense, even I’m starting to question whether Peterson’s mental health actually is heading south in the way some of his critics think. It’s not even that he mistook this porn video for some sort of weird Chinese plot, cos that’s just funny in a faintly tragic sort of way; it’s that he thought it was appropriate to then post it to his Twitter account—which, as I said, probably has a certain number of followers below the legal age to actually view it. I really don’t understand what he was thinking. This goes somewhat beyond him being the sort of buffoon arguing with (while being ignored by) the Pope on Twitter, sniping at trans people and calling an Asian model unattractive. That’s just him being a cunt, this is… something else and I’m not sure what. Remember that time he “quit” Twitter because it was making his life worse? It’s still not doing him any favours…
So Jordan B. Peterson has been having a somewhat baffling argument with the Pope of all people on Twitter about the true nature of Christianity, which is… something. The whole thing began with this tweet from old Frank:
Frank’s getting his Marx on
Jurr Durr, of course, is so allergic to the very concept of social justice that he sharply corrected the Pope on that point:
Of course, if you’ve read 12 Rules for Blah-de-Fucking-Blah at all, then you’ll know that compassion is very far from being Jordan’s strong suit, and I think that’s true on a broad societal level as well as the personal level. If nothing else, Frank’s tweet expresses a noble sentiment (how well the Church has lived up to it is a matter for another time, perhaps); the fact that Jordibles finds the idea so unacceptable says much about him.
The weird thing is that he’s refusing to let the matter go, too; he’s had a few posts up now taking digs at Frank, including with this poll:
Nice?
Even the poor should set their houses in perfect order first, I suppose. The poll, incidentally, led to the somewhat bizarre pair of tweets I began with; Jordan helpfully clarified that the “goats” thing was a reference to something about sheep and goats in Matthew chapter 25, which I suppose demonstrates that he remembers more about Matthew than me (the percentage of goats grew to 31 in the end, evidently). But I just found those two tweets so silly on the face of it that I couldn’t resist taking them out of context (and goats are a change from lobsters)…
Oh, and the Pope hasn’t replied to any of Jordan’s nonsense. I mean, he never replies to anyone on Twitter, but him not replying to Jordan is somehow funnier than usual. At what point do you suppose he’ll finally realise Frank’s not playing and the whole argument has been completely one-sided?
FUCK ME DEAD this is ridiculous even by HIS limited standards. I mean… yeah, using less paper towel and so forth isn’t going to save the world; saving the world will require holding corporations to account for their practices and governments to give a shit more than individuals not using so much bogroll and the like. But the idea that, you know, being asked (like, not even being forced) to use less paper towel in a public bathroom constitutes “petty tyranny” is absurd even for someone who believes just not being an arsehole to other people when he doesn’t have to is an unacceptable imposition. It’s not a hundredth as petty as his own impotent rage…
So Jordibles is making the media rounds for his new book, here’s him on Jesse Watters’ program wearing what looks like a fairly sensible suit for a change. I saw this grab posted on Bluesky, I forget by who, but I presume it was the chyron that attracted them cos that’s certainly what attracted me; I don’t know if Kermit himself said this or if he just agrees with the sentiment (I refuse to watch the interview to find out), but either way those are hilariously incongruous words to juxtapose with this drug-addled clown… I have his book, by the way, obviously obtained through a dubious channel because fuck him, so I will read it at some point even if, frankly, I have no hopes for it being anything more than his usual…
