This is kind of a bad article because the author doesn't appear to understand addiction any more than Peterson or crazy daughter, but *holy poo poo*. They did loving "deep sleep" therapy on him. That poo poo fucks people up severely. There was a notorious mental hospital near me that in the 1960s and 70s specialized in this poo poo, and a very high percentage of the patients ended up basically epileptic semi-vegatables.

Kinda curious about what sort of damage he aquired out of this.

and put his life in the SJW-controlled medical establishment that believes dangerous lies like "trans people exist and aren't just lunatics and perverts"?!

lmao

quote:

Media reports have claimed that Peterson is suffering from addiction, but have offered no evidence to support the claim. If Peterson were addicted, you’d expect see signs of loss of control over his drug use, which might include buying drugs on the street; “doctor-shopping”; unauthorized dose increases; and drug-related problems with work, family, or the law.

Most people consider you addicted to something if you can't stop taking it without going through withdrawal. What a dope. Also christ they put him in a coma for over a week.

Surely there's a way to reconcile masturbatory overthrow-the-government fantasies with respecting our fine upholders of law and order.

"What we really mean to say is that it's not okay to threaten police with your paramilitary cosplay as long as the police are *checks notes* upholding a uh... *checks notes again* a CONSTITUTIONAL order from the governor!"

"And while the governor claims his order is constitutional, we interviewed a man who carries a copy of the US Constitution in his pocket, and he disagrees!"

Another option is "Of course it's unacceptable to threaten an office of the peace, but people are getting desperate, getting scared and wanting to assert their rights as Americans, so it's understandable. They're not just some thugs, you know." That second sentence is important because otherwise they've just supported the Black Panther Party, and they wouldn't want there to be any confusion.

It's actually a huge problem. Once you start getting comfortable ignoring credible reports of deaths, it's a really quick step to poo poo like genocide denial.

There was already some Republican operative or organizer from one of the earlier protests who was like "hey guys, can you please put the Confederate flags away?"

The tone of it was like trying to thread the needle of "I'm not saying it IS bad, I'm just saying it LOOKS bad."

They gotta keep the crazy at a carefully-controlled dosage to maintain that plausible deniability.

Oh, it's even better than that. It was the WI GOP treasurer, and he had this to say:

"Ok folks, I implore you, please leave Confederate flags and/or AR15s, AK47s, or any other long guns at home," Brian Westrate wrote in a private Facebook group, The New York Times reported. "I well understand that the Confederacy was more about states rights than slavery. But that does not change the truth of how we should try to control the optics during the event."

So Wohl and Burkman are trying their old gift again. Their target this time was Fauci.

Standard procedure:

  • find someone willing to lie for money and accuse their target of sexual harrassment
  • film their "story "
  • profit!

Buuuut....

Their paid liar had second thoughts about it, and spilled the beans. And included a recording of her phone call with them where she changes her mind. They counter with "So what if 400,000 people die? 200,000 are elderly, the other 200,000 are the bottom of society. You got to clean out the barn. ... It's a positive thing, for God's sake!"
