Exploration is ill-advised.
It's quite possibly a white as hell thing to be concerned about.

Even being a dork is better, because at least arch support is a tangible thing to be concerned about.

what is it about peterson that makes him so fascist friendly? i've heard he's a gateway personality. not watching any of his videos

he constantly whines about liberal academia and media supposedly suppressing conservative science, and he's happy to openly involve himself in political issues while waving around junk "science" to justify his stance, so he endears himself quickly to anyone with conservative or anti-establishment leanings

despite being a real scientist with a real academic career, he often goes outside of his specialty and talks tons of :biotruths: and "just asking questions" stuff that fits right into alt-right ideology, and also whines endlessly about "sjws" and the (((leftist))) conspiracies to control everything. at the same time, he's very conscious of his image and is very careful to avoid any direct association with Naziism or negative racism (he'll happily claim that some races are genetically superior, but he'll never say that some are genetically inferior), so he's pretty good at not putting people off by being too extreme

he'll claim that the alt-right are bad and that he has nothing to do with them and that he doesn't believe in racism. but he'll also claim that there's a genetic basis for intelligence and that this basis varies between races so that some skin colors are smarter than others. if you try to call him on the obvious implications of that, he'll say that most popular forms of racism have absolutely nothing to do with that and accuse the liberal media of trying to unfairly besmirch his reputation, but thats why he's a gateway drug. instead of being openly racist like most alt-right figures, he just plants the seeds of racist ideology while loudly denying that there's anything racist about what he's saying. but regardless of how not racist he claims to be, once someone is convinced that his race science bullshit is true scientific fact, it's pretty easy for alt-righters to nudge them toward racism

By focusing on the superficial, they can avoid having to face up to why their repellent ideology* isn't catching on the way they were promised it would.

*among other things.

My grandparents used to have Marshall Macluhans Understanding Media in the little toilet library of random books or magazines that some people keep in the bathroom so you have something to read when you're taking a big dump, so while I can't really say I've read the book because I just opened it at random and stopped reading when I was done making GBS threads, I do remember him talking about how fascists are absolutely obsessed with symbols and icons, in an old fashioned pagan way, and it kinda blew the hardcore Nazis minds when American soldiers would paint Donald Duck giving the finger on the side of some big weapon instead of icons of strength or purity or ancestry. Like, a regular German would get it but the brownshirts thought that Popeye and Kilroy were like our Brunhilde and rising sun, they couldn't accept that aspect of a media-saturated culture and thought it was proof of barbaric degeneracy.

Anyways I think about that a lot when I see modern fascists get seriously worked up over some neo-pagan symbol or identity or meme because it's so obvious that they're not being sarcastic, they're failing at the concept of irony like an army of niggerstomper58s. They're desperate for symbols and icons they can use as proof of group identity and purity of ideology, and it becomes loving hilarious when this collides with memery and PUA cargo cult psychology and they end up with a dead gay frog as a pagan religious icon vs fighting over which slight variation of a swastika or runic symbol that they will use as a flag, because having the Good Memes is so vitally important to them.

Also, without the Imperial fascists running things, I bet Japan would have had way better aircraft nose art.

All your friends are me.

Peterson rocketed into fame by crying about having to call trans persons their preferred pronouns.

The only other thing I know about him is that he believes that when two men debate there is always the implication that one of them will use violence to back up their views, but since you can't hit women anymore it's pointless to debate them. Oh and also that he's a climate change denier and dreams about doing violence to little boys.

IIRC refusing to use a singular "they" is the hill he chose to die on, even though he says it all the time because its a very common english pronoun and he even used the singular they without noticing it while speechifying about how he won't. A person will never look dignified while nailing themself to a cross.

From the washington post article.

quote:

“When the victims have picked these packages up, they have at that point exploded,” Manley said on KXAN, an Austin television station. “There’s a certain level of skill and sophistication that whoever is doing this has.”

I wonder if the bombs were a modified version of the following design.

quote:

Man Exacts Revenge On Package Thieves With Trap That Fires Shotgun Blanks. All you'll need to make your own: 12-gauge shotgun blanks, fishing line, bricks, a wooden box, an aluminium carrying vessel for the blanks, a small plate and a cardboard box. A fed-up driver has engineered an ingenious “shotgun” trap in an effort to deter thieves who steal packages from front porches. Jaireme Barrow, from Tacoma, Washington, was becoming increasingly irritated with people nicking his expensive Jeep parts and vowed to “even the playing field”.Using 12-gauge shotgun blanks, fishing line, bricks, a wooden box, an aluminium carrying vessel for the blanks, a small plate and a cardboard box he crafted his opus

You can even buy the boxes

The packages themselves are also unmarked when used, like the described bombs.

So Heimbach, frustrated after Michigan, goes home and takes it out on his wife? That'd be my guess. What a scumbag.
