Oh, I forgot about that: I half-remember you wanting to move all the Jews in Israel to Wyoming. And I had the gall to disagree with you. That's where the resentment comes from!

No, actually, I've since learned Wyoming is one of the states where most of our nuke arsenal is. That's not a fun place to put people.
Anyway, Ok. The bizarre thing is that we would probably vote for the same people, but you have buried yourself so deep in your hatred that it no longer matters.
So you admit that you're just trolling? Congratulations, big boy. What an impressive life achievement.
Tool > Everything Jordan Peterson ever said! Henry Rollins? He was on a Tool album, so he's ok, I guess.
Ah, Jan Jansen is a total fan of TOOL and loves their music, there must be a way to piss him off with it. You are definitely a sad figure in front of the Lord! And you brag that you've become a "better person" in the last few years. It's hard to beat that for irony! Get a grip, kid. In a few years I'll piss on you again just to remind you what a hypocritical clown you are.
A "better human" AND a psychoanalyst. Quite impressive. This level of self-deception is hard to beat. Stupidly, you really do see a being of infinite moral purity when you look in the mirror. Anyway... Pull yourself together. Spiral out, keep going.
It just strikes me that Peterson is a weak man that fetishizes hyper masculinity whereas Rollins is anything but weak yet encourages guys to embrace our vulnerability.
I don't get the "social media is distinct from reality" trope. Social media is an aspect of reality. It's an aspect that doesn't reflect the whole picture, but no single aspect does.
They've cast him as their thought leader and he's embraced the role like a rock star. He's totally responsible for the actions of devotees to his personality cult in the same way as Jim Jones was.
The question of whether a "celebrity" is responsible for the actions of "some" of their fandom is whether they've ever made any effort to call those fans out. Has Peterson?
Not so you'd really notice. Kind of like in the half-hearted way Trump said he didn't want David Duke's support.
He's not even a good source of advice for young men, considering his benzo addiction and the medically unsafe all-beef diet he tried pushing with his daughter. No middle aged man whose poor life choices left him in a week long medically induced coma should be giving lifestyle advice to anyone. He's an aggressively average psychology professor that got a taste of internet stardom after he whined about pronouns, and he's been chasing that high ever since.
I actually have forgotten where peterson began. Wasn't he one of the radical atheist incels? I think I skipped him because he was the motivation behind a large number of dickhead atheists who all are full of as much smug as the WBC at the time. If that was him I was remembering all the atheist twats worshipping I have to wonder how anyone missed who this guy was? I think him and Bill Maher are the reason why when I hear someone say they are an atheist I get the same twitch like someone said have you been saved by jesus. There is a reason whenever someone mistakes me for an atheist I make every effort to correct it to agnostic.
He's Christian as fuck, but somehow he's convinced some (and by "some" I mean a shitload) of atheists (including Maher) to lick his taint. Some atheists were in it to know the truth, others were in it just to belong to a club. The clubbies fell for Peterson the most. I thought all that critical thinking would teach people to stand for themselves, and not be sheep. I was wrong. Peterson is the kind of daddy they wanted to be led around by. Dawkins is trying to get that audience back by being a TERF. It ain't working. He doesn't have the cult leader makeup. And it's for the best. One Jordan Peterson is bad enough, we don't need them multiplying.
So is dawkins the atheist then? I know there was an atheist that was lesser than Maher in the youtube/podcast sphere who ignited the radical incel atheists back in the day. I actively avoided the atheist community because of the toxicity of their male members. Also, I think I was focusing more on gaming than politics. I missed a bunch of these idiots because I sort of predicted the radical atheist incel rise and was doing other things. I know there was an atheist who went right wing "free thinking" idiot who a lot of people regret following. I get people hate that I use incel so often, but the incel thread goes through multiple communities and really creates a lot of angst and hatred that is easily manipulated towards fascist goals. It pops up on all sides in all areas. The republicans have always had it. I saw it cresting in atheism the way it had taken hold in toxic masculine anime fans who were often there just for the porn. It was in the gamer community resulting in gamergate, and you can see it in music and TV also. I see it in other countries like China right now. You look at the Brown shirts and SA of germany and you see them there also. It is this idea that because you are a man and you work you are entitled to the companionship of a woman. There are backlash communities like the love doll industry that also take advantage of this anger. I am just saying that atheism really had a nasty strain of very resentful and bitter women haters who were latching onto thoughts that the system of get a job, find a girl, get married, have kids, and then pay off that debt was wrong. Instead of figuring out you just do not need that whole family thing and high maintenance hot women are not the only ones with vaginas who you can fall in love with, they just became mad and rapey. I think because atheists are a lower end of the population, and are more nerdy scientist oriented they got a shit ton of toxic incels who were just looking for a atheist leader to go right.
Yep. Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens hit with their books all at the same time thanks to 9/11. Harris has fallen out of favor, Hitchens died, Dawkins had a stroke, and by the time he got this strength back, Peterson had swooped in and become the daddy-figure to the incels. It's infuriating that incels infested into atheism, because misogyny in religion was part of what we were fucking rebelling against in the first place. Guess the incels were fine with misogyny, they just wanted the Jesus and Allah washed off it. Well, it taught me, most people really are just little puppets that want to be led around, and if they don't get that, they just go fucking bananas. I's like that scene in "Life Of Brian" where's he's like "you don't need a leader, you can all think for yourselves!" "Yes!! We'll all think for ourselves!".
