Whatisawaffle,

I was curious about why this guy had such beef with a worm. Does he think Sesame Street is left-wing propaganda or something? So I did some digging.

I found two fairly long threads on reddit, where 95% of the thread is finding ways to explain why Jordan Peterson has penis envy, psychotic break, etc. And the remaining fraction were quietly, downvotedly, pointing out that it’s an edited tweet from an account who's been applying some of his tweets to look like they're against sesame street.

This seems to be the original "Go To Hell".

AchillesUltimate,

Thanks for explaining all this. It didn’t really make sense to me that JP would react like that to such an innocuous tweet, but almost everyone else seemed to believe it.

Crazy how easily I could have fallen for this if nobody else did the legwork

CarlsIII,

Maybe, but did you see how he flipped out about that swimsuit cover?

SlikPikker,

I mean.

He is a lunatic.

Soulg,

Part of why everyone fell for it is that he’s done pretty similar things before. It’s 100% believable that he would do this.

Shardikprime,

The fact that people in the very thread you answer tell you that “it didn’t make sense to them” proves that it is not 100% believable

Argh, I fell for it! Thanks for debunking this post.

Godric,

Thank you for the debunk. I wish there were flairs for edited but still funny content like r/ToiletPaperUSA had.

Vilian,

He is a university professor in Canada. He started off having some interesting views about culture and Jungian philosophy, but he went completely nuts and started fighting along side the alt right and is often on PragerU.

chicken,

A psychologist who wrote some extremely vague right wing philosophy books. His thing is ranting about culture war stuff and encouraging people to be mad at him, basically just a troll, not worth knowing about.

x4740N,

Didn’t the educational institution he went to revocate his qualifications iirc

chicken,

idk probably, who cares tho

a dude whose peak accomplishment was telling guys to clean their rooms, and from there on somehow went downhill.

Wogi,

Pretty pathetic to be triggered over a fuckin puppet for children.

Luci,

Maybe he’d be less angry if he cleaned his room

Jesus Christ!

casmael,
Luci,

This guys makes me regret being born Canadian.

Fuck it, he makes me regret being born.

DrSleepless,

Oh c’mon, you are way better than this douche canoe! Now go drink some maple syrup and ride your moose, you’ll feel better.

Confuzzeled,

Benzos are no joke.

DLSchichtl,

Benzos are an excuse for a horribly broken man.

Mirshe,

Don’t forget that he’s potentially permanently brain fried thanks to his cold-turkey medical coma detox.

Damage,

And this guy is some sort of influencer? wtf

schema,

I couldn’t imagine carrying around so much hate on a daily basis.

Can’t have fun in this guy’s presence, can we?

casmael,

No fun allowed 😠
