What is going on? Why are demons attacking in my sleep and why are they making me gay? The Democratic party is sending gay demons to snuggle with you and satitate your scratching kink

Greta Thunberg isn't even an American lol

Liberals rehabilitating the Bush administration means in 10 years they will absolutely rehabilitate Trump

Zines, pamphlets, polisci journals, and angry letters sent from a 7 person org named like People's Communist Restoration Movement to another org with an identical name and 9 members fighting over a bookstore in Seattle

The dark cowboy rides again

AOC comes out in defense of the being gay with your dad constituency

You just made me realize the white coded characters speak in British or American accents, whereas the non-white characters speak in French accents.

I've never thought about this before and I have no idea if it was even intentional

The only way this liberal logic works is if you assume leftists owe a vote to Democrats by default, so not voting for the Democrats means they've lost your vote that they rightfully owned in the first place. It's so goofy. No one is losing anything if I never intended to vote for genocide. If liberals can't come up with a good reason for me to vote for their particular Hitler, that's on them, not me.

Peterson is doing the exact sort of postmodernism he rallies against, isn't he? He always does this, he circled around something that almost had a point, that has a tinge of reality to it, but he swirls around in desultoey psuedo-philosphy jargon so that he never has to be pinned down as saying one thing or another.

Actual philosophers will define and redefine their terms, especially if they know they're using the terms in ways that aren't standard. Like Delueze/Guattari make it explicitly clear that rhizomatic and arborescent are not botanical terms and aren't referring to literal trees, even though they're borrowing biological terms. Foucault uses the term archaeology in a non-standard way too, but he knows he's doing that.

I haven't watched this whole thing and I probably won't, but it sounds like Peterson just wants to say that the immaterial is a real thing, that meta-analysis refers to genuine Platonic forms in the ether. Otherwise what is he even saying. He's saying dragon is a shorthand for "threat" and that biology is something like "human capacity." So he's almost got a point in that the conception of a dragon is biological in the sense that human biology has cooked up the concept of a dragon out of various threatening features to us as humans. It's a big monster made of the things that would kill us, and our conception of what kills us is informed by our biology and surroundings. Different cultures have had different ideas of monsters that had to do with animals they found threatening. But he's shouting over how the other two aren't accepting his exact terminology, even though he's failing to define his terms?

You could probably do a cool analysis on how early myths/legends had a lot of fierce beasts who attack humans, but now more of our monster ideas are more human-shaped. Like back then you had monsters like trolls or minotaurs, but now monsters are like zombies and vampires. You could make a cool point about how our more primal fears have become more like fears relating to our class and social position, like zombies representing mass unrest or vampires being upper class bloodsuckers.

Hey look I explained how one could talk about dragons in biological terms without shouting at Richard Dawkins or looking like my brain got scrambled on benzos

Oh this has got to be why he's so prissy about the words gusano and cracker. I swear he's convinced half of reddit that cracker is an unspeakable slur

I remember reading that when Utah did their ban on trans athletes in school sports, there was exactly one trans girl playing in a girls' sport in the whole state. Exactly one. Statewide legislature passing laws focused on one person, a child.

All this scrutiny and transphobia is directed at literal children, many of whom might be the only trans athlete out of millions. Transphobia is such a disgusting thing to me, not only because of the chauvinism and bigotry, but because it's just so senseless. Trans people are already rare enough as it is and also one of the most vulnerable populations in regards to poverty, assault, unemployment, etc. I've seen some statistics saying that only around 1,000 people in America initiate HRT per year. That should give an idea of just how rare and vulnerable trans people are. And now there's a senseless cultural panic just to whip up a few more eyeballs on the spectacle?

Death to America
