Manosphere Jordan Peterson - Internet Daddy Simulator, Post-modern Anti-postmodernist, Canadian Psychology Professor, Depressed, Got Hooked on Benzos

How about you ask why there's nothing but superheroes and nostalgia bait reboots instead? You might not want the answer to that, but it's the only one that makes sense.


Arnold got pregnant in a movie. What's that if not emasculating?

Cause they want to retcon all of those pieces of pop culture with more powerful, mainstream iterations.
They're "sun-setting" old culture.
Also they want to infantilize people with childish fantasies.

I'm still baffled that anyone with a basic understanding of mental health would be drugged in Russia for a benzo addiction. A doctor supervised taper (which can take anywhere from weeks to months to a year or two) is the only real way to treat a benzo addiction. He claimed in the video where he discusses it he didn't realize how addictive they were when the first reports of the addiction protentional go back to the early 1960s.

Because it's addict talk, that's why.
He damn well knew what he was doing when he popped the first pill, and it's risks. Why did he still do it? Because "pull your boots up and be a man" wanted the easy way out. Same reason he did his retard coma shit, detoxing sucks, and benzos CAN kill you if done incorrectly, no other drug (aside booze) can, not even oxys you just feel like shit and I don't mean flu, shitting yourself crying in pain etc, detox is awful, even done safely.

JP the be a man man, said pump me full of more drugs and I'll wake up bright and shiny, when even people who know nothing of meds, know that doesn't work, hence you have to go to a 3rd world for it where they would tack on an extra eye for a stack of US dollars.

I agree he didn't want to suffer, or to minimize it, but being in a medically induced coma and coming up out of that isn't easy. He made a mistake. There go I, but for the grace of God.

Idk not everything has to be a leftist conspiracy.

I agree. But hollywood and disney, though?

Besides, you're responding to the bit where I say it's not a conspiracy; rather group think.
I've seen the same in the entertainment industry over here. Most people working in it are blind to it, until the first time they have an idea that goes against the zeitgeist/groupthink. Then you get people falling over you, or get panned by the critics over ideological reasons suddenly. It happens at every level, from writing, to rewriting, to what gets funded, to how it gets reviewed. I don't think of it as just "leftist", because it isn't exactly that.

For example, american movies can't make jokes about suicide in any situation relating to the military. Not if you want to use military equipment in your movie. They'll even demand to have statements like "I'll kill myself if I have to clean the toilets again" removed. Is that conspiracy? It seems to big a word for it. But it's affecting what you see and hear in movies.

What is addiction if not wanting to take shortcuts while knowing it is a bad idea?

What is not wanting to suffer the withdrawal by being in coma if not another way of taking a shortcut?

Big Disney excutives and shareholders have funded the Republican party, Disney as a company as a whole is more NeoLib and Centrist in service of the almighty dollar. I do wish the people running the parks would stop changing classic rides though.

It's not a conspiracy that the military has a specific image it wants to present and doesn't want anyone making fun of it. Thus, if you want to use real military equipment, you have to do what the military says. (And do you really think they'd let you use military equipment for a film that, say, shows the US military as evil?)

I love how much of a loser jordan peterson is. Like he himself hasn't really achieved anything other than yelling at a bunch of kids. Now he uses the example of other men who have done shit to peddle his bullshit. Like Elon Musk, who personally I'm on the fence about.

They both have something in common.

Their success is inversely related? As are the number of their sexual partners?

They both got a hair transplant before going mainstream

Not sure if this was already brought up in this thread. According to this article JP wanted to buy a church to deliver sermons before he got famous. Explains a lot if it's true.

Well yeah. Musk has had more, Peterson had the one wife. He's not dangerous, he is a massive fraud though. Pretty much like anyone that becomes internet famous.

I think if all they were interested in was the almighty dollar you'd have more movies a la passion of the christ, or child versions of that. Big box office success, targetting a large demographic of america, well received by the target audience, panned by critics.

Instead they take the most christian of fairy tales and turn it into a white guilt narrative.

Of course it was hugely profitable as well, but it's hard to miss the ideological pushing inside it.

It's a bit rich to read this marxist screed of someone scaremongering with mccarthyism and trying to get people to remember an era of "It was a frightening period of lost jobs, broken lives and betrayal." as if we're not living in such an era right now.

But with that said I do believe it's an idea Peterson would have toyed with. I don't know why, just kind of fits the Peterson MO.

They both have something in common.

Lol. And fat bank accounts.

The counties that voted for Biden produce 70% of America's GDP. Consider that.

Could someone enlighten me what's the connection between Trudeau and youtube?

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

Since YouTube's an American company and is bound by American laws, I don't think Trudeau will be able to do anything about that.

He claimed in the video where he discusses it he didn't realize how addictive they were when the first reports of the addiction protentional go back to the early 1960s.

Peterson is a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, and that means he's a "people person," not too concerned with the legitimacy, implications, or mechanisms of treatment. He has stayed far and away from discussing medication or how you should use it in public, as he well should, for exactly this reason: he even blindsided himself with some of his choices and actions around medication.
Most people think they're stronger than addiction. They aren't, or they aren't always. Some very weak people are practically immune to addiction, at least to any specific substance, while some very strong people crumple after a few doses of any addictive drug. He probably had some idea that benzos were addictive, but no idea of how addictive benzos would be for him.
If you have ever listened to Dr. Peterson and it has swayed your behavior on medication, other than to eliminate minor psychological strains and personal failures that don't need medicating to fix, you should be talking to a professional psychiatrist (if you aren't already).

 

[Lemmingwise]

This isn't exactly true; he's talked about it in regards to his lobster example (the value of anti-depressants) and he's expanded on it on a number of occassions.

 

[Evil Enchilada]

To be honest, giving this much of a shit about the alpha/beta dichotomy is the gayest, cuckiest thing one can do. As long as you do what you want that isn't morally reprehensible, you're a cool guy in my book.
