In the Kavanaugh affair Peterson sadly missed an opportunity to teach us how totalitarianism grows.

Yes, it was quite disappointing especially because he was and still is subject to the same type of witch hunt by the same scumbags.

Thanks for posting this!

Peterson went the IDIOT route, when he tweeted about Kavanaugh and yes, missed a great opportunity. The "idol" of some, proved that he has massive CLAY FEET and that that "clay" reaches up to his hips.

The Nazi analogy detracts from your argument, but I also think this was a rare misstep for him. He fell into the trap of thinking it possible or even advisable to placate the raving lunatics that attempted to destroy Brett Kavanaugh. It’s not.

Stefan Molyneux has the right idea: Respect is a Reciprocal Affair. Do not give anyone respect that they did not earn, especially if they are you enemy and are constantly working against you.

I think Jordan Peterson thought Kavanaugh as a Martyr would have more impact.... Like Jesus did....

If the left of today demand Jesus Christ and Jesus submitted himself for execution the left would be dancing in his entrails like rabid animals.

Showing UNCONDITIONAL HONOR towards people who don’t even consider HONOR as a virtue is the same as GIVING UP ALL TOGETHER!

The Formerly Peaceful Hindu Sikhs learned this lesson.... Jordan Peterson is just a fool who is projecting his own respect of virtue onto people who have NO respect OR virtue.

It would have been as if Lott escaped Sodom/Gomorrah and then on the outside of town before it burned said: “Well I won since I escaped, I should escort these angels back into town so the mob can rape them now”

Peterson was being a FOOL

I am sorry why do I care what a Canadian clinical psychologist says. Is this person some sort of TV psychobabbler trying to be the next Phil MaGraw? What is the big deal?

I agree, JP missed the mark with his Kavanaugh resignation suggestion. He usually is a bit more keen.

Nazi’s - National Socialist German Workers’ Party - it’s in the name. It’s funny how many people can’t see this. ALL socialism - because all socialism is based on collectivism - create groups. Some groups are in, others are out. Just they have different ins and outs. For Hilter, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Aryans were in, the Jews were out. The Jews ‘oppressed’ the German workers. It’s all the same stuff. Regurgitated garbage which the young get sucked into in the name of compassion for the oppressed. Another one of Peterson’s small blind spots also.

Good analogy. NOTHING will placate the left. They just hate whatever gets in the way of their total power.

It is NOT about dems v. repubs. It is about The New World Order (SOCIALISM ALL OVER the entire world v THE US REPUBLICANS (CAPITALISM) The US DEMOCRATS have already sold their souls to the NWO. The ONLY THING holding back the system that been the dream of PROGRESSIVES since WWII has been capitalism. And the ONLY group that still governs by that is the Reblican party. This is ALL about THE 🇺🇸 REPUBLICANS V. THE NEE 🌎 ORDER.

Poorly written, not worth reading.

He didn’t make the point of his article in the first paragraph and his prose isn’t clear.

Is there some reason I should care?

Nazi analogies are just sort of a lazy type of political argument. There’s no place for the discussion to really find common ground once you get there.

Jordan Peterson’s “resign after confirmation” tweet was so far below his usual standard that I was appalled. I usually think of Peterson as brilliant, fascinating, and a superb culture warrior for conservatives. I am not used to thinking of him as an idiot.

Not exactly the correct allusion, but somehow it works and works far better than what the Peterson stupidly said!

And then, to have made that pathetic tweet and NOT just saying that he was wrong, made things even worse.

Has Peterson said some good things in the past? Yes, yes he has.

Is he "all that", as some of his followers seem to believe? NO, NOT AT ALL!

He is worse than just a "FOOL"; what he did, with just 2 tweets, is prove that he isn't really all that competent and logical, has little common sense, is arrogant, and that he has two very different sets of ethics...one for him and one for others, the hypocrite.
