Hey is there a thread where I can learn about him? His visiting my town and there’s an action on. Thanks
Transphobic reactionary academic who made a name for himself by being a transphobic reactionary academic (of course, there are no chuds who reject him for being an academic). He got addicted to benzos because he sucks (like his actual story is funny because of the comedy of errors leading to it) and now he lacks the ability to emotionally regulate in various ways.
The latter is generally ableist to make fun of, but JBP is such a piece of shit, and the origins of this completely self-caused situation so ridiculous, that I, for one, give it a pass as an acceptable dunkable aesthetic. The guy starts crying in the middle of talking about how some old Disney cartoon really says something about modern emasculation (read: he’s toying with fascism) or something.
He also tried to debate Zizek on Marxism. The entirety of his prep work was reading most of The Communist Manifesto the night before, lol. It was incredible, though Zizek isn’t great at communicating to an audience not already familiar with Marx or Lacan or whatever academic work he’s talking about, so a good chunk of people still didn’t get home owned JBP was.
I remember watching the start of the zizek peterson debate as a baby leftist who’d literally only read the manifesto and even then thinking that peterson was being a fucking idiot and repeatedly making mistakes about the manifesto that even I could understand were wrong
According to him, it’s:
-
“His job was threatened”
-
“His clinical practice was threatened”
-
Canadian Revenue Agency was “after him” (Canadian version of the IRS).
From his daughter: allegedly, some kind of "autoimmune disorder " to… food. He’s on and advocates for an all-beef diet as the treatment, same as his daughter’s diet. Lots of quackery around this and confusion over timelines.
I don’t know why I remember JBP facts lol
