Yeah, his self help stuff is what the faculty at any university hands our during orientation. Saying it was valuable was always a justification for liking him when the reality is his popularity is solely due to his transphobic stances.

He’s also a rabid anti communist and spreader of settler colonialist apologia, in addition to denying global warming and lying all of the god damn time

Yeah, he’s generally very reactionary. I’m sure his right wing views more broadly are the reason for his popularity with a certain subset of people, personally the only IRL JP fan I know is a preppy rich kid. I more meant that I think his transphobic views were his initial launch into “stardom”.

I mean that’s literally true, he got famous for being extremely mad about laws that punish you for harassing trans people with the wrong pronouns

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
