news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

first, good luck to you. having any autoimmune problems and dealing with the healthcare system is a double whammy.
second, i never really pieced it together before reading your post, but i bet the stupid all-meat diet is some right-wing, "own the libs" response to veganism. i'm sure that's obvious to everyone else, but i don't devote much thought to this weirdo unless he's in the news for almost dying again. :)
I also suspect there's elements of traditional masculinity to it (hunting, predatory themes, eating literal muscle, famous source of protein) and likely a dash of cattle industry promotion (again, in response to veganism and even environmentalism).
Thank you.
Yes there is no question the all-meat diet shit is political and performative. I think he tries to couch it in some paleo nonsense, but the real reason is because he wants to show that he's a "real man" not one of those weakling soy loving postmodernmarxist sensitive types. Any vegan will know the type of asshole who, when they find out you're eating a meal without animal products, will laugh in your face and say "I'm going to go home and eat TWO steaks tonight" because they think they're nullifying your veganism by doing that. Peterson is that guy, he's just taken it to the extreme and lathered on some layers of pseudophilosophical terminology to try to make it sound intellectual.
