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".

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.

[–] SlikPikker@lemmy.ca 19 points 11 months ago

I mean.

He is a lunatic.

[–] Soulg@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[–] funbreaker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

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

Nitter links since the person I'm replying to didn't provide them:

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

This guys makes me regret being born Canadian.

Fuck it, he makes me regret being born.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

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@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Benzos are no joke.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 7 points 1 year ago

And this guy is some sort of influencer? wtf

[–] schema@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

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

[–] funbreaker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

No fun allowed 😠

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

who is he?

[–] Ghost33313@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

idk probably, who cares tho

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

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