I don't have any sympathy for the man. If these same exact circumstances had happened to a prominent liberal figure while he was healthy, you can be assured he'd be serenading his audience with their misery.
The thing that all the people preaching a perfect world where everyone respects each other and doesn't wish harm on each other and debates on the marketplace of ideas and blah blah blah don't get is that, so long as people like Jordan Peterson exist, that world will never exist.
Jordan's not interested in intellectually weighing ideas. Jordan's interested in pushing his own biases and making as much money as he can doing so. Actors like that aren't conducive to your wonderful enlightened future.
Their actions go to show the heart of a person, whether or not they are a hateful, unforgiving person. There is a lack of decency when screaming obscenities about a person who does awful things; spewing things from a place of hatred towards another person does not make you any better than them. This title is somewhat of a mockery of the situation that not only JPB is going through but the rest of his loved ones. If anything, I would show love and support towards this man even if he has shown me none, because I live a life of loving people, when others think they don't deserve it. And it's hypocritical of people to do that when they make a mistake and ask for others' forgiveness. Being hateful towards a person who hasn't done what you would want from them, and acting out your hatred towards them, does not make you any better than that person.Guy spiraling into depression and drug abuse after his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer is a thing to make fun of I guess
Hypothetical- if all of you posters calling for sympathy had your family members killed, would you extend that to the murderer
I'm not wasting a shred of energy drudging up empathy for someone who would have me lined up against a wall with my peers if they had the choice. If that makes me a bad person in whatever imaginary morale system you've cooked up, then so be itTheir actions go to show the heart of a person, whether or not they are a hateful, unforgiving person.

I want a title change because it's insensitive to not only the man but the man's loved ones.

Maybe you should stop telling minorities how to feel about someone who puts a target on their back.You can disagree with someone's viewpoints and call them whatever slur you'd like but being glad someone or their relatives are in bad health is fucking insane.
Some of you need to take a step back from twitter, as a start.
As someone who's seen alcohol/benzodiazipine withdrawal in person it's really person to person. This is just the dumbest way he could have done this so probably.
This thread is a good reminder that Era is filled with White Straight Cis Males who don't give a shit about anyone except themselves.

They wrecked everybody I know that was on them. Not saying they can't work, but its an incredibly powerful and dangerous drug.
having thoughts to flex on jordan peterson
My god yes.This thread is a good reminder that Era is filled with White Straight Cis Males who don't give a shit about anyone except themselves.

And who decides what the consensus/common standard or norm is? Nobody, because these things are extremely vague and malleable. Empathizing with a person who you know is suffering is never "going above and beyond", but a natural reaction.

We can acknowledge his horrible stances, awful language, and still be decent humans who don't celebrate the destruction of life.
LOL...oh, for content pls see below:We can acknowledge his horrible stances, awful language, and still be decent humans who don't celebrate the destruction of life.
What if I want to be a decent human who does celebrate the destruction of some lives though? lol
I think I am allowed that nuance.
Well considering he does just that...We can acknowledge his horrible stances, awful language, and still be decent humans who don't celebrate the destruction of life.

If you're just happy, but don't announce it publicly, is that technically celebrating?
Don't ask like half the people in this threadIf you're just happy, but don't announce it publicly, is that technically celebrating?
Uhh this is word salad x10Apologies for hoping that misfortune to those in privileged positions that abuse their stance humbled them and creates positive in the world instead of celebrating a terrible thing that would destroy me if I was in there position.

They absolutely refuse to address it. Its disgusting that they are asking for empathy when looking the other way while spewing their crypto bullshit about how they don't support his views. Its all subversive.How come the tone police NEVER attack Peterson for his toxicity towards women and trans folk?
People who have been harmed by his influence hold no responsibility to give him best wishes so that there's a slight chance he'll see the error of his ways.Apologies for hoping that misfortune to those in privileged positions that abuse their status are humbled and it creates positive change in the world instead of celebrating a terrible thing that would destroy me if I was in there position.
Gollee gee wonder where they could be fromThey absolutely refuse to address it. Or show empathy in other threads. But for Peterson they come in in droves. Fancy that.
To those who sympathize with a homophobic, racist, hate filled sick douchebag make your peace with what has been wrought.Yeah some people being very thought-police-y up in this thread.
To those who have feelings let them be felt.
To those who have thoughts let them be thunk'd.
To those who have sowneth ye chaoses and made maladies their trade let them reappeth the fangs of the dragons they chaseth.
Make your peace with what has been wrought.
