JP is literally the stereotypical dilettante that he says is miserable in his book. It's probably why he is so familiar with the topic, it's a self help book for himself. If you have ever seen any of his live streams, the man literally keeps a dirty office.

That said, all JP has inspired is school shootings and pressuring for sex, he is no comparison to the man around whom both the 20th and 21st century revolves.

It used to be that reading the work of someone before you criticized them was considered a requirement. Now anybody can become an anti-Marxist without reading a single word he wrote.

Why one of the most influential thinkers in history should have anachronistically taken the advice of a pill popping grifter who's intellectual contribution has been to make dudes even worse. Peterson has got to be one of the laziest motherfuckers in the public sphere.

Hey Jordan

Have you fixed the world yet? No? Cleaned your room yet? No?

Then fuck off and stop telling a real political scientist who actually inspired revolutions and actually changed the world how to do his job.

Marx literally inspired the Soviets, who in turn got the first human into space. He fucking changed the world and you aren't worth the shit on his boots.

"Karl, clean your damn room or you're cut off." --Friedrich Engels

HENRIETTA MARX: where do you think you’re going

KARL MARX: to my room

to write more poems for Jenny von Westphalen

HENRIETTA MARX: well while you’re up there

you might as well clean the room if you’re going to be doing poems in it

KARL MARX: i’ll do it LATER

HENRIETTA MARX: i left the cleaning supplies outside your door

you’ll do it now

KARL MARX: wow mom

it’s the MEANS of production

not the CRUELS of production

His personal life and room were a mess tbh.

"Hey Karl, ya heard of benzos?" - JPB

history is going to forget you, Jordan

history will not forget Marx unless we destroy ourselves before building what he initially envisioned

tbqh the entire concept is kind of ableist. like unironically. people with adhd or various forms of neurodivergency find it much harder to focus on repetitive daily tasks like cleanliness than abstract, constantly important-feeling matters like the state of the world. and in many ways changing the world makes it literally easier for those people to clean their room. (fixing med shortage for adhd people = more adhd people cleaning their rooms)

Cleaning your room is hard. There's a part of my room where dust accumulates and I don't want to use my vacuum all the time.

Clean rooms are bourgeois.

Yeah, I'm gonna take Benzo Kermit's advice

If Mr. Marks would have listened to JBP then he wouldn't have starved over a million Ukrainians to death in the holodomor.

I thought this had to be fake, but nope. https://catalyst.independent.org/2024/04/30/karl-marx-needed-jordan-peterson/

He was lazy but greedy, always begging for money from family and friends who feared for his happiness and sanity.

lol

He was so self-centered one wonders if he was on the spectrum.

Nice ableism, fuck off.

Who are Catalyst and the Independent Institute behind it, you ask? Answer: a ”libertarian think tank” that has taken money from Koch (of course), published climate change denialism, and once ran an anti-antitrust ad in the Washington Post and New York Times that was sponsored by Microsoft.

Why A Dead Guy needs Some Pillhead's advice.

What a stupid article.

They do realize the man was exiled from his home country and under surveillance by multiple state secret police

The idea that there is, out there in the world, one motherfucker dumb enough to read this and take it seriously is enough to make me wanna go back in time and pulverize the first human ancestor to crawl out of the sea

There's a lot of like, lifestyle attacking when it comes to Marxism. I got a book from my father in law once that was an epic take down of Marxism, but focused a lot on points like Marxists are miserable people, Marxists wouldn't be Marxists if they were happy, etc. Guess it's just typical avoiding the actual logic at hand, but it's still interesting, and at the very least funny when you try and retroactively apply it to some guy in the 1800s you are entirely disconnected from

Nothing of note depends on the cleanliness of my room.

JBP's gonna take this so strongly that he's gonna invent time travel just to fulfill it. Watch!

Petterson need to clean his fucking brain and Kermit mouth.

Have to wonder which historical figure, that either libs or conservatives fawn over, was the messiest bitch.

Marx wrote a bunch of books about how to make a communist utopia, but he didn't consider one thing: human nature
