My favorite spritual attack is to think of people like Peterson and try to visualize justice being done.

Believe me, if spiritual attacks worked, they'd be scraping him off the walls with a trowel right now.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I'm sending him spiritual attacks in the form of thoughts and prayers karma comes for him.

So, the champion of cleaning your room :

  • Is addicted to drugs
  • Can't keep a room tidy for shit.

Amazing.

Am I Jordan Peterson?

I fucking hope I'm not.

Jordan Peterson isn't a dumbass, he's a fucking idiot, completely different, dumbasses are fun and have redeemable qualities about them, we don't know what we're doing, but we're having fun doing it, fucking idiots are just miserable sacks of shit with no redeemable qualities at all.

But I could be wrong , I don't know wtf I'm doing anymore.

Ok, which one of you jokers paid the Kirk witches to hex this guy?

[–] DarkSurferZA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Listen man, if this was a thing, I have a list...

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You should get that list hexed

It was the Antifa Spiritual Warfare division.

JP has been under the influence of benzos hexes for a quite a while.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Isn't it amazing this asshole got rich by spewing BS focused on "alpha males" and a full on "macho" attitude, yet they avoid any personal responsibility like it's acid.

It isn't the many drugs this guys has taken all his life.... nooooooo... it's a spiritual attack from someone else

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think it's more amazing that anyone could take "alpha male" advice from a guy who's this much of a wimp

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

putin funds him so, he is important to bring in more men into fold of manosphere/conservatism, by saying his pseudointellectual psychobabble.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes but the shocking part is that it works

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

it seems he never fully recovered from his benzo addiction, plus he had a coma that had complications too.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This dude is like the faux intellectual conservaties Joe Rogan, I'm genuinely sure he has a mental conditon as well, so I try not to shit on him too much.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

hes called a pseudointellectual, his psychobabble in his earlier years seem like its a good idea, but if you dissect it, its meaningless gibberish meant to give mostly Men false hope. someone like kirk is anti-intellectual and pseudointellectual.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh good, the spells are working. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Etsy Witches are on a roll lately

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The last No Kings protest in my town literally had a coven of witches standing in front of the courthouse casting hexes on Donald Trump. It was pretty legit.

I love how much his grifter daughter is trying to kill him. Dragon of chaos goes hard

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 84 points 2 days ago (31 children)

I don't like the man, he seriously sucks, but he needs an official wellness check. He's clearly becoming increasingly mentally disabled and things like this keep happening in his daughter's custody.

That's not a spiritual attack, it's mold induced pneumonia in a man with brain damage. He could easily be less capable of resisting the mold. Why the fuck was a man with brain damage trying to clean a moldy room without assistance‽

Like, seriously for all I hate the man I really get no joy from this, I don't want him taken away as punishment or anything, I'm mostly concerned for him. I don't think that the Peterson of a decade ago would be putting the Peterson of today in these positions.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 53 points 2 days ago (8 children)

My empathy is with the mold in this conflict.

He absolutely would if he thought he belonged to one of the out-groups to be persecuted. This fucker has shown no empathy towards others and has played a big part in the rise of fascism we're seeing today. He deserves no pity.

Yeah, I don't think it's mold. Or demons. Dude's 120% back on the benzos.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 41 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Benzos are super potent mast cell inhibitors, coming off that insane benzo addiction has probably highly sensitised his mast cells which signal for the immune system. Exposure to mold is a common trigger for those with mast cell related disease. As are many foods which he has eliminated

as well as a spate of neurological issues that have apparently left him unable to regulate his emotions.

How can they even tell? He is just like that.

I never wanted him to get sick. I just wanted him to stop forcing his opinions on the public. Can't he just holler at the TV like most older folks?

Regardless of whether it’s the mold, the diet, a spiritual crisis, or good old-fashioned demonic assault, we can only hope Peterson recovers. Sure, I don’t agree with him about anything, but this weepy, deranged, overemotional basketcase does more to discredit conservative thinking than an army of well-meaning social justice warriors, so I can only wish him a long life.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dude is responsible for indoctrinating so many desperate kids that just needed any kind of direction. He is not discrediting conservative thinking. Is this author living under a rock?

So much for “clean up your room”.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I guarantee his daughter is poisoning him so she can take his place and make even more grifting money

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Legitimately. After seeing the vultures trying to put on Charlie Kirk's skinsuit it seems like the way to rise up in the grifting ranks is to kill the current grifter and take their place.

Edit: I don't think people state enough that charlie kirk had hundreds of millions of dollars at age 31. He was well on his way to retiring as a billionaire. The guy was literally a sellout and now there's at least a dozen grifters lining up to get at the billionaire money-faucets he had.
