    Rubin is such a fucking moron and a tool. He is very poorly educated and prone to believing in really stupid fantasies. There is whoring yourself and then there is being a stupid whore. Rubin is a stupid whore.

    From the way this reads (and you’ll want to read the responses), it sounds like his addiction to benzodiazepines nearly killed him.

    Yeah...something shady about him running away to Russia.
    There are such a thing as quacks, but if you get a quack, you can keep changing doctors until you get the right one, you don't throw a whole continent away in favor of Putin-land where they'll wave a fucking beet at you.

    Makes me doubt everything including the "he almost died", stuff.

    That's nice. If one has doubts about their medical treatment, there are ample ways to find out if their doctor is following standard medical practices. The Mayo Clinic (along with a number of credible medical institutions) has ample information on their website so you can figure out if you're getting the right treatment or not.

    In the case of addiction, were I someone who had the resources that Peterson has, I'd go to Israel for treatment. They put you into a medically induced coma for the time period where one goes through withdrawl symptoms, so when you awake, you don't have to deal with the withdrawl. Apparently, this can make recovery much easier and reduces the chances of relapsing.

    Being that Jordy boi is a clinical psychologist and all, you'd think he'd have a friend or two at the ARF (addiction research foundation) which is literally on the University of Toronto grounds.

    I just finished the Joe Rogan podcast Peterson is on. I can see why the left hates him, he's anti-Marxist.

    If you changed nothing about him, other than making him a Marxist, he’d still be a giant douche nozzle.

    Because most of what he blathers on about has nothing to do with Marxism, for starters.

    One small example, he claims to be on an all meat diet, and that this makes him healthier than were he to eat a diet that included fruits and vegetables.

    I don’t know if he’s telling the truth about what he eats or not, but I can you tell the idea that strictly eating meat is healthier, is bullshit. There’s a number of nutrients you’ll be unable to get if you’re on an all meat diet, not to mention, it makes it very hard for you to poo, if all you eat is meat.

    Stalinism/Leninism would be more accurate. He was talking about what they did from the1920s-1959 in particular.

    Again, doesn’t change the fact that he’s a garbage person for reasons completely unrelated to his thoughts on economics and the folks running the Soviet Union at any point in time.

    What's the matter, @Federal Farmer, lobster boy got your tongue? You bumped this thinking that you'd score some points or something, by saying that people hated Peterson because he was anti-Marxist, or anti-Stalinist/Leninist, and when I gave an example that had nothing to do with such things as to why he should be considered an idiot, you got all quiet. WTF? I don't know of anyone under the age of 30 who even references the Soviet Union, no matter how far left they might be. So, please, elaborate on your thoughts. I will remind you that both @Tuttle and @Paladin are not only fans of Trump, but also fans of Peterson.

    It would be fine if that's what he was doing, but he conflates what he calls "cultural Marxism" with that, and holds anyone associated with it responsible for Soviet gulags. :rolleyes:

    looks about right



    cultural marxism

    A term invented by white supremacists to describe "da jooz" taking over the world and having a plan which they thought up years and years ago to randomly eradicate pure traditional white christian values. Cultural Marxism has nothing to do with actual Marxism and is a great example of white supremacists not even knowing what Marxism is but some white supremacists say it has to do with Marxism some how because people are made the victim like in Marxism where workers are made the victim, but you could say that white-supremacists are Marxists according to this logic for making white people a victim of "da jooz".

    Cletus: THESE GODDARN CULTURAL MARXIST JOOZ ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!
    Billy: WOT IN TARNATION DID YOU SAY CLETUS?!
    Cletus: I SAID THE GODDARN CULTURAL MARXISM BELIEVING JOOZ FROM THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD AND TRYING TO ERADICATE WHITE PEOPLE!
    Billy: WHAT IN THE LORDS NAME?!

    First off, I have no Idea what lobster boy means. Second, no I wasn't trying to score points. I was simply pointing out why I thought lefties hate him. I can think of other reasons why they hate him, but those aren't things I agree with so I didn't bother with them. Third, just because you don't like him doesn't mean he's wrong about his views. As for @Tuttle and @Paladin being fans, so what? I bumped this thread because my friend has been talking about JP for several months and I knew nothing about him other than what I read in this thread so I finally decided to watch the JR podcast. I didn't want to start another thread so I posted in this one.
