Peterson's 12 rules 

Reading JP's 12 rules it's evident that he's not a rationalist of the Dawkins or Pinker type. He's not going to present you with cherry-picked data and then claim it's a universal truth.

Peterson is obviously a Christian mystic or obscurantist. He doesn't really make rational arguments and sees logic as something that people fool themselves with. He frequently makes biblical references, and the conservative tropes are easy to spot in his writing if you're already familiar with them.

Peterson's critiques of communism are so flimsy and superficial that it's easy to see why he won't debate with real Marxists. In terms of potential criticisms of his own statements it's very much a target rich environment. I'd estimate that he has maybe read a couple of books about Soviet Russia, but that seems to be the entirety of his knowledge of the history of the left.

In the rule about truth he describes concepts similar to hegemony, believes himself to exist outside of ideology (like a neoliberal) and fails to recognize that the very same self-deceptions which he's critiquing also apply to capitalism and especially mainstream American culture.

As a true obscurantist there isn't a lot of coherence to his writing, and as others have pointed out he frequently contradicts himself. Whatever he's saying in one sentence he will then contradict a few sentences later.

In the final rule about petting cats he describes the struggle of his daughter through difficult health problems which are illustrative of the limits of medical knowledge. In that regard I have some sympathy for him.

mirzaba and eifie, could you aphobic, truscum-adjacent shitstains never interact with my posts again? I put that in my bio for a reason.

liberals really out here pondering about why israeli people are pro-trump as if its some deep mystery and not because they have the same politics, lol

why did men photoshop brie larson's ass to be small in her captain marvel suit so that they could then get outraged and beardmad and post the picture to prove disney purposely cast an unsexy captain marvel due to feminism reasons

the feedback loops nazi men get stuck in are endlessly fascinating ant utterly bizarre

@dankwraith it really fucks me up that these guys never for a second consider that science is merely explaining the mechanisms behind god's creation

scientists: here is a biological theory that says things change over time, this does not really say anything about religion or the cosmological origin of life

evangelicals: darwin personally killed god and he is dragging us all to hell

evangelicals are still mad about the theory of evolution

Nowadays I'm still appalled they let a white colonialist to play Imhotep. But then again, the whole genre is pretty much fucking racist in nature

ACAB ACAB ACAB. This country (and any other white-colonist-run country) is built on nothing but oppression of marginalized communities. Overthrow the State and kill the pigs.

They make revolutionary propaganda because they know the privileged class can never be overturned peacefully.

I'm looking to become a part of something greater than myself and it's boiled down to 4 options
1. A relationship
2. A hive mind
3. A weekly DnD group
4. A revolution
They are not exclusive to each other but I only need one
