Because this is really starting to feel like the kind of story that ends with "During the autopsy, they discovered he had a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit."

I had no idea this was a thing - EVS seems like he's gone off the deep end. Sounds like he's always been a bit off-kilter, but man, these last few years have done a number on easily impressionable guys. Who is this Jordan B Petersen gently caress and why do I keep seeing his name popup anytime these guys go all redpill? Same poo poo happened with Kanye a while back I saw that guys name being thrown around and referenced then too.

He's a Canadian academic / self-help guru who provides a thin veneer of respectability for the alt-right.

He is also a deeply strange person.

Someone with an X-Men logo as their avatar complaining about politics in their comics will never not be hilarious to me. Like if they actually read any of the comics they're complaining about and didn't have EVS or someone else telling them it's SJW propaganda I'm pretty sure they wouldn't think there's politics in that comic either.

Hmm, let's look him up:

Wikipedia posted:

Peterson has said that men without partners are likely to become violent, and has noted that "enforced monogamy", i.e. societies wherein monogamy is a social norm, decrease male violence.[16][107] He has attributed the rise of Donald Trump and far-right European politicians to what he says is a push to "feminize" men, saying "If men are pushed too hard to feminize they will become more and more interested in harsh, fascist political ideology."[110]

Ah, yes, the ol' "appeal to nature" fallacy, relied upon by respected philosophers everywhere. "It's not your fault you want to beat women and murder immigrants, that's just your natural reaction to society imposing feminine ideals upon you. The problem isn't you, it's them." I don't think I need to dive much deeper on this guy.

Jordan Peterson is absolutely a Nazi and terrible in general, but he's also definitely an academic. He's a tenured professor.

If you need an easy, palatable summary of the guy, there's always hearing two comedians dive deep into Peterson's bestseller where he rants about how Nelson from the Simpsons is the child of a vile whore.

I only have excellent ideas
Peterson is pretty good at sounding like he has something to say. I've mentioned this before I think but when I teach freshman comp or intro survey courses there's a always a certain sort of kid these days who was probably pretty bright in high-school, pretty jaded about public education, and disaffected in a rote teen way, who blundered into Peterson's orbit and brings some of his ideas into the classroom. It sucks and it's a minefield and a headache but really his ideas are super dumb and incoherent and 80% of teenagers who have a Peterson phase seem to grow out of it when offered better ideas, or when they realize that college in a big city is a lot more interesting than high-school in the burbs and that there are interesting people to talk to in real life your own age who aren't internet nazis.

Absolutely, let's not forget that the only reason anybody outside of his field (or to be frank, anyone within his field other than, I guess, his immediate colleagues) even knows who he is is because he took the "courageous stance" of adamantly misgendering students.

Doctor Jorp posted:

Here’s the problem, I know how to stand up to a man who’s unfairly trespassed against me and the reason I know that is because the parameters for my resistance are quite well-defined, which is: we talk, we argue, we push, and then it becomes physical. If we move beyond the boundaries of civil discourse, we know what the next step is. That’s forbidden in discourse with women and so I don’t think that men can control crazy women. I really don’t believe it.

I wouldn't point to Stalinist Russia as the best way to defeat Nazis unless you are a big fan of throwing people into the front lines until you where the enemy down.
