Gazing Into The Abyss

If you haven't seen Jordan Peterson's work then I recommend the recent GQ 'interview' to get the full beefy flavour of the man. Perhaps the wittiest show I've seen all year. Peterson is a master at the glacial staring angry white moralist persona he has perfected to perfection. Some people don't 'get' Jordan Peterson.   My girlfriend even believed he is actually a Canadian psychologist who seriously believes the nonsense he spouts until I explained that he's a famous postmodern stand up comedian who does this whole skit as ironic performance art. That says a lot about the brilliant comic persona Peterson has acquired, the hilarious po-faced permanently constipated expression as he squits out this stream of consciousness drivel.  Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, obviously indebted to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life: "Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, an...

Kill all vegans. hunt them down shoot them in the head hang them upside down from a metal joist torture them with damp sponges attached to electrodes kick them repeatedly with a giant metal boot then make them eat their own decomposing bodies.

The blogger and many vegans...

"It is never too late to be what you might have been."   Author George Eliot (born Mary Anne Evans) "Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside." Flying nanny Julie Andrews (born Mary Poppins) If passed in some dystopian identity wasteland future, the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) will allow individuals to self identify their gender without a formal psychiatric process. What should be a debate about biology, the law, science, sociology, ideology and inconvenient stuff like facts has become an emotive mudslinging argument about identity (whatever that actually is) and morality. There's also a lot of misinformation and confusion, especially in the mainstream media.  And, of course, online, lots and lots of abuse from both sides.   The debate makes strange bedfellows.   Left wing feminists find they're sharing sheets with Daily Mail writers like Peter Hitchens, or ...
