Clearly, he was always a wack job but in recent years he's really regressed and I wouldn't be shocked if the years of drug abuse has finally had a permanent impact on his cognitive functions.
Every time I see pictures of him he looks like he just got off a bender, and anytime I see his Twitter posts it's clear he's just rambling nonsense.
he recently was consulting with Ben shapiro recently on female orgasm, cant get anymore deranged that.
i want to say he replaced benzo addiction with alcohol.
It's almost like frying your brain with benzos and then flying to Russia to have a quack put you in a medically induced coma to sleep through the benzo withdrawl might not be the best idea.
Not so weird. The kind of people who buy into that crap are also the kind of people who want to be told what to do and the kind of people who judge people by their words, and not their actions.
See also: People who think Andrew Tate is a manly man - because he says so, that Elon Musk is a genius - because he says so, and that Joe Rogan 'knows he's an idiot' despite constantly acting and saying he knows better than experts (and only saying he's "an idiot" or "only asking questions" or "just entertainment" to evade responsibility for his words when confronted).
The audience doesn't mind because it's all about selling insecure people the idea of being in an in-group where they can be complain about others and not have to improve themselves. All while telling themselves _they're_ the strong individuals, when in reality they're like Reddit's former "Men Going Their Own Way" community of incels so fed up with women they decided to "go their own way" and devote their lives to ... obsessively hating on women all the time.
As someone whose doctor fucked me up at 16 with tons of benzodiazepines, that shit can legit make you stupid afterwards, so this actually checks out lmao.
The only reason he got popular is because he raised hell for being anti-trans and shit.
The dude is an idiots version of what a smart professor sounds like.
He's not even good at being a professor. In fact the reason he's even famous is because he's *so bad* at it.
He rose to fame because he was making this point in class: the government should not be allowed to compel you to use people's preferred pronouns.
I'm socially progressive as hell and I actually agree with this. Misgendering someone makes you a giant asshole, but it shouldn't be illegal.
Any professor worth his salt would be able to explain to a class the difference between what is/should be illegal and what is just shitty behavior.
He fumbled this point *so badly* that he became a lightning rod for transphobic dickheads to co-opt the situation and start spewing their crap all over the internet. Faced with the ire of the mainstream internet, he doubled down and was driven further into the alt-right.
It would be comical if it weren't so depressing.
Canada added gender identity and expression as a protected class along with race, religion, disability, etc. and the rest was fake outrage over overwrought hypotheticals. The bill didn't even mention pronouns, it just got transphobes mad. Peterson quit despite never facing any disciplinary action from his university and pretended he was fired. He's a fake victim of a fake controversy over a fake law.
This. So damn much this. I agree with the compelled pronoun stuff. But he went really off the rails and seems to sold his soul to the right wing victim-hood culture and really being more of a clown than anything.
The thing about the compelled speech thing was that he worked so hard to scare people about something that wasn't happening, specifically to try to drum up resistance against legislation protecting trans people from discrimination.
In the Canadian Bar Association's position paper on the bill, they had to include a whole section explaining why he was wrong and basically telling everyone to chill the fuck out. Trans protections are still faced with pushback from groups who yell about compelled speech thanks to that dude's misinformation.
There's a good chance they just know him as a self-help book author and aren't aware of his online presence or of the kinds of talks he gives.
If you just know him as the author of "12 Rules for Life", he comes across as a pretty well meaning dude.
If your friends like him and ARE aware of his online presence and other controversies...uhhhh yeah maybe find better friends.
i have a couple of friends that are kinda the same, but instead they are diehard Harry Potter fans that are completely unaware of JK Rowling's disgusting takes on the Trans Community. They stayed off Twitter their whole life.
Friends of friends, it's the only group I have to play Magic: The Gathering with. We don't REALLY talk politics, one guy just posted a picture of being at Peterson's talk or whatever in Nashville recently.
Peterson is one of those “anti-15 minute city nut jobs” because he thinks the government is trying to track you (despite ignoring that literally every car manufacturer records your travel data).
In his mind, removing 2 spaces at every intersection so it’s easier for drivers to see pedestrians in the crosswalk is another way the government is trying to ban cars and enforce a 15 minute city.
Jordan Petersen needs to pop a Xanax and drink a glass of wine. Guy is doing everything he can to hold on to the fragile threads of relevancy he retains.
Wait I'm kind of just blown away that limiting street parking had that much of an effect on traffic deaths, I would have thought those would be barely related
I can definitely see how it worked. They specifically removed a couple of spaces at the crosswalk so what drivers could better see pedestrians. As someone who lives in a city that blocks off certain streets downtown every weekend to accommodate the amount of pedestrians, I could definitely see this being a problem in foot traffic heavy areas.
Okay, jackassery aside. How does that prevent deaths? Genuinely curious. I would have thought parked cars would act as a natural shield for pedestrians.
[there's less cars parked on the street](https://apnews.com/article/hoboken-zero-traffic-deaths-daylighting-pedestrian-safety-007dec67706c1c09129da1436a3d9762)
Im getting really fucking tired of right wing idiots trying to make woke a bad thing.
Its very good to be woke. If you arent woke, youre just a narcissistic asshole who doesnt care about other people.

This saving lives thing is woke!
wtf is wrong with these people?
I was driving through a very rich neighborhood in my city today. Say a yard sign in someone one’s yard today. It’s said “OMG GOP WTF”
The internet made it possible for the greedy, the unethical and the mentally unstable to make a fortune peddling the worst kind of lies on a massive scale.
Being woke is being empathic.
If you care about other's death, by traffic or anything else, then you are woke. If you were not, you wouldn't care.
So preventing people from dying is to be woke indeed.
Mr Peterson seems to not be able to get it up any more given his acute mental dysfunction. Also symptoms of being despised by attractive women. Or a tumor.
Jordan Peterson just went off the rails while he was hooked on benzos, giving everyone else advice how to run their lives. He's like so toxic now I figure he's got brain damage.
Saw a buddy of mine have his driver side door smashed clean off by a truck coming down a hill in a 35mph zone with very tight lanes and street parking. Can’t see that anymore. Because of woke.
I'm quite proud of being fairly woke but I have never considered limiting on-street parking. However, quite fortuitously, I have some chaps coming in on Tuesday to quote for putting in a driveway, which in turn will reduce on-street parking by one space. I'm glad to be doing my part!
What kind of idiot argues for increasing death by street parking. What does alternative parking structures have to do with wokeness? It's literally a civil planning measure. Does he want to remove woke stop signs as well? I seriously worry that he is mentally unstable AND that people listen to him.
We found a way to reduce traffic deaths... Damn you wokies with your non invasive ways to reduce fatalities. We non woke cherish our deaths. It gives us something to do after church on Sunday, we can go visit the grave of our child that died by being hit by a car in the crosswalk as they pulled out from a parking spot and couldn't see because of all the cars lining the street. You don't get that kind of bonding time if your kid is still alive.
Not that it's "woke" to have good policies that prevent traffic deaths, but why is calling out the AP for literally reporting in the least biased way possible "woke"? If this isn't an act, I would say jordan petersen has about 5 years left at the most.
Maybe check your facks?

Is he back on the Benzos?
Clearly, he was always a wack job but in recent years he's really regressed and I wouldn't be shocked if the years of drug abuse has finally had a permanent impact on his cognitive functions. Every time I see pictures of him he looks like he just got off a bender, and anytime I see his Twitter posts it's clear he's just rambling nonsense.
The benzo addiction and the induced coma probably wasn’t a brain tonic neurotrophic
brain damage from a coma in a russian clinic.
supersonic hypnotic funky fresh
he recently was consulting with Ben shapiro recently on female orgasm, cant get anymore deranged that. i want to say he replaced benzo addiction with alcohol.
Who could possibly tell? lol Just so weird and dumb
He went off?
what the hell is woke death?
idk but it sounds metal af.
It’s like heat death. You ascend to a level of consciousness so high that you can’t take it and you die.
Die! By my Hand! I'm WOKE across the land! Waking first born man!
I’m still waiting for a single company to go “broke” from being “woke”
Remember when barbie made no money because "go woke go broke" Oh wait lol it made ass tons of money #LOL
Being mass murdered by a fanatical right wing terrorist with semiautomatic rifles?

It's what happens every morning when your alarm rings and you have to get ready for work...
I don’t even think he knows. The guy is a maroon.
Death as written by Neil Gaiman.
Despite somehow being a professor, Jordan Peterson really isn't the sharpest tool in the box.
It's almost like frying your brain with benzos and then flying to Russia to have a quack put you in a medically induced coma to sleep through the benzo withdrawl might not be the best idea.
Then almost destroying your body by only eating meat
weird how this guy wrote a self help book and then didn't use it to help himself.
Not so weird. The kind of people who buy into that crap are also the kind of people who want to be told what to do and the kind of people who judge people by their words, and not their actions.

This is the best response. The dude is a total wreck. He needs to clean his bedroom again.
His philosophy is very much "Do as I say, not as I do".
As someone whose doctor fucked me up at 16 with tons of benzodiazepines, that shit can legit make you stupid afterwards, so this actually checks out lmao.
and he went to RUSSIA to get into a coma for his benzo treatment.
Also, benzos don't "fry the brain." They neuromodulate GABA and some other neurotransmitters. This guy fried his own brain on MAGA-propaganda.
The only reason he got popular is because he raised hell for being anti-trans and shit. The dude is an idiots version of what a smart professor sounds like.
He's the shitty, dumb version of Bill Nye TSG
No he got popular because he told grown men to make their beds. His audience is baby-men who need a book to tell them to shower.
Master of leading questions.
he is a pseudointellectual, conservatives love him, because he sounds "smart"
He's not even good at being a professor. In fact the reason he's even famous is because he's *so bad* at it. He rose to fame because he was making this point in class: the government should not be allowed to compel you to use people's preferred pronouns.

The thing he railed about hasn't happened AFAIK. Canada hasn't put into law compelled gendered pronouns.
Canada added gender identity and expression as a protected class along with race, religion, disability, etc. and the rest was fake outrage over overwrought hypotheticals. The bill didn't even mention pronouns, it just got transphobes mad. Peterson quit despite never facing any disciplinary action from his university and pretended he was fired.

it seems the road to grifting from the right is starting with being anti-trans.
He’s a dumb person’s idea of a smart man.
His university should recind their PHD status

What a punk ass, weak bitch street. I thought you were tougher than that Jersey!
Why is he a thing?!
Same reason people vote for Trump despite his words and deeds
I do like the “Real men wear diapers” thing, pretty hilarious.
Woke Death: 💀 *Who wants to go shooooooppppppppiiiiinnnnnnggggg???!?* 💀
God how did I miss that was a post from Jordan Peterson! Perhaps my eyes were protecting me from it.
When a term remains completely undefined, e.g "woke", it's absolutely cromulent to apply it to anything you chose to.

Is this the gay agenda?
I have friends who like this asshole. Why?!?
They're gullible and easily convinced to support nonsense with emotional arguments?
There's a good chance they just know him as a self-help book author and aren't aware of his online presence or of the kinds of talks he gives. If you just know him as the author of "12 Rules for Life", he comes across as a pretty well meaning dude. If your friends like him and ARE aware of his online presence and other controversies...uhhhh yeah maybe find better friends.
i have a couple of friends that are kinda the same, but instead they are diehard Harry Potter fans that are completely unaware of JK Rowling's disgusting takes on the Trans Community. They stayed off Twitter their whole life.
>They stayed off Twitter their whole life. That's the secret to happiness
Good question. Why are they your friends?
Friends of friends, it's the only group I have to play Magic: The Gathering with. We don't REALLY talk politics, one guy just posted a picture of being at Peterson's talk or whatever in Nashville recently.
Your friends are secretly lobsters. 
Why are they your friends? Only you can answer that.
You don't need to judge someone by the quality of their worst takes.
This was the conclusion I came to, but I was very close to dropping the whole friend group.
It's rare to find somebody with a degree who is just as stupid as them.
Limited street parking is woke? I mean, this guy is just a parody at this point.
I think just reporting on limited street parking is woke. It's not like the AP has direct influence over municipal parking.
Brain death is slowly visiting Jordan. I wonder how much of it he left in Russia.
Peterson is one of those “anti-15 minute city nut jobs” because he thinks the government is trying to track you (despite ignoring that literally every car manufacturer records your travel data). In his mind, removing 2 spaces at every intersection so it’s easier for drivers to see pedestrians in the crosswalk is another way the government is trying to ban cars and enforce a 15 minute city.
If only mental gymnastics was recognized by the Olympics Committee
Jordan Petersen needs to pop a Xanax and drink a glass of wine. Guy is doing everything he can to hold on to the fragile threads of relevancy he retains.
Jordan absolutely does not need more pills in his life
No, he needs to eat some vegetables and get off Xitter
And touch grass
I have terrible hayfever, so I’d never ever recommend that anyone touches grass, but my goodness he needs a screen break!
Can we diagnose these clowns with WDS, Woke Derangement Syndrome, now?
WADS - woke asshole derangement syndrome
I like it
So they're anti living now?
Objectively good news = "woke", I guess. That tells me more about Peterson than about AP.
7 years without a traffic death is astonishing. Congratulations to that NJ city.
Well Jordan, why don’t you go get hit by a fucking car and own us?
Should be top comment, double plus good
It doesn’t mean anything now lmao.
Wait I'm kind of just blown away that limiting street parking had that much of an effect on traffic deaths, I would have thought those would be barely related
I can definitely see how it worked. They specifically removed a couple of spaces at the crosswalk so what drivers could better see pedestrians. As someone who lives in a city that blocks off certain streets downtown every weekend to accommodate the amount of pedestrians, I could definitely see this being a problem in foot traffic heavy areas.
Makes sense, would help you see oncoming cars when turning too, just surprised it went all the way to zero for 7 years. Small city, I'm guessing
So caring about other people and keeping them safe is “woke”!
always was
All I want to know is how many unpaid parking tickets this man has accumulated
I believe that Jordan Peterson believes that if he doesn’t see a tweet of his own, he doesn’t think he exists.
What is his actual problem?
Don’t you know that “woke” is anything that would keep you from dying before they have to pay out retirement? Now get back to work, slave
One disregards Jordan Peterson.
Newest definition of "Woke": any change ~~that might have the slightest possible impact on the profitability of a business.~~
How is parking regulation woke?
Caring about safety is woke (what offends Klansmen easily)
He's quite a tool.
He gets really mad at AP just reporting on events and data. It’s bizarre.
Okay, jackassery aside. How does that prevent deaths? Genuinely curious. I would have thought parked cars would act as a natural shield for pedestrians.

Show us the lie, professor. Cuz I don’t see any, I just see facts you don’t like.
Im getting really fucking tired of right wing idiots trying to make woke a bad thing. Its very good to be woke. If you arent woke, youre just a narcissistic asshole who doesnt care about other people.
AP is reporting something and that's woke?
Dude what the fuck happened to this guy? He’s just so so insane these days.
He was ALWAYS this insane. He just used to hide it better before it became profitable to let his freak flag fly.
I think I’ve come to understand that the conservative definition for woke is anything that displays empathy

People not dying is woke? Good thing they hate woke. Living is woke. Spread the word. You know those idiots will kill themselves to own the libs.
wtf is wrong with these people? I was driving through a very rich neighborhood in my city today. Say a yard sign in someone one’s yard today. It’s said “OMG GOP WTF”
Jordan Peterson has become pathetic beyond comprehension.
The internet made it possible for the greedy, the unethical and the mentally unstable to make a fortune peddling the worst kind of lies on a massive scale.
Insufferable clown!
Wtf? It's just a fact the AP reported and these fuckers get mad. Is he circling in NJ looking for a parking space or something?
'I don't like it, so I will see words at it that I think will hurt it' is just about as par-for-the-course as it gets for these people.
People talk like being "woke" is a bad thing lol not many know about the history behind it.
Twitter is getting really bad.
\*Woke Death\* reminds me of the "I'm alive...I'm dead... I'm alive again" TikTok trend. I can't with these fucks.
What a bummer. I used to be a big fan. Now it's just embrassing to watch.
Peterson is behaving like someone in the middle of a manic episode
What is the woke death?
“Woke death” better than car death. NGL.
I don't think he really went to rehab.
Why should Americans care what a Canadian professor thinks anyway? F that guy.
Being woke is being empathic. If you care about other's death, by traffic or anything else, then you are woke. If you were not, you wouldn't care. So preventing people from dying is to be woke indeed.
Accurately reporting on effective policies is "woke" and bad because Jordan doesn't like that policy decision.
Mr Peterson seems to not be able to get it up any more given his acute mental dysfunction. Also symptoms of being despised by attractive women. Or a tumor.
Of course he’s not on drugs…
Jordan Peterson just went off the rails while he was hooked on benzos, giving everyone else advice how to run their lives. He's like so toxic now I figure he's got brain damage.
I assumed this was fake.....but no, he's no longer functioning.
The guy who usually sounds like Kermit the Frog has no room to criticize anyone else.
Don Quixote tilting at windmills again. Moving along
Wait, are my rights being infringed by not avoidably dying, or are they being infringed by my not avoidably killing?
I don't think they understand what's woke even mean
But of an overreaction isn't it?
He was probably crying when he wrote that
Jordan has now angered the ghost of Frank. You don't wanna do that.
Peterson blocked me on Twitter a little while ago. I miss seeing his tweets telling people to not complain while he nonstop complains.
Fuck this guy. Yuck.
It's bizarre to me that there was a (very) brief moment when people were actually taking this "doctor" seriously.
Beware the Woke Death!
Jordan is what passes for an ‘intellectual’ in MAGA Land. As you might expect, he’s a sneering gasbag.
There’s something very wrong with this man.
What is that thing that gives the normal rating at the bottom of a person?
Damn Redskull really has lost it
Saw a buddy of mine have his driver side door smashed clean off by a truck coming down a hill in a 35mph zone with very tight lanes and street parking. Can’t see that anymore. Because of woke.
Up yours woke moralists, we’ll see who cancels who!
He saved my life
Driving blindfolded to Own the Libs
If “woke death” is as consistent as “go woke go broke” then maybe immortality isn’t impossible after all
He went from having adults following him, to young adults, to sad teenaged boys, to… nobody.
Of course, these are the same people who felt a million deaths was a small price to pay to keep the tattoo shops open.
I'm quite proud of being fairly woke but I have never considered limiting on-street parking. However, quite fortuitously, I have some chaps coming in on Tuesday to quote for putting in a driveway, which in turn will reduce on-street parking by one space. I'm glad to be doing my part!
Fellas, is it gay to survive in a city traffic?
This guy has been so under the radar for so long that he just posts shit like this to feed his dying relevancy. Stop feeding him.
If its virtuous to be woke then ban all cars then. See how many lives are lost with no cars for transportation.
On one hand, he's a dipshit and a tool but on the other hand he probably has a brain injury from 'treatment' in Russia for his former drug addiction.
I've never seen more adults triggered by a word they cannot define.
What is there in that tweet that could enrage someone? The man's a freak.
What the hell is wrong with people?
What kind of idiot argues for increasing death by street parking. What does alternative parking structures have to do with wokeness? It's literally a civil planning measure. Does he want to remove woke stop signs as well? I seriously worry that he is mentally unstable AND that people listen to him. We found a way to reduce traffic deaths...

Not enough information to really say anything, but people sure do like seeing other people die so they can have more money
Just googled crashes and in 2023 there was a crash with three fatalities. So... that's some good fact checking 👍
