Jordan Peterson doesn't have the stones to debate Elmo.
Zizek even clowned on him and he spent the better part of the debate just being mad at trans people. Elmo would crush Kermit with his infinite love and cuteness and Peterson would shrivel away from the light like a monster out of a fairy tale.
Jordan Peterson getting mad at Elmo like that is both the most baffling and funny thing I have heard all day.
Especially since this is now the second time in my life that I have seen a conservative figure attack a Muppet.
Pretty sus that Pordan Jeterson and other CHUDs claim to be all high and mighty, and luxuriate in telling people they're the funny d-word and therefore going to hell...but they lash out in moral envy at even the slightest hint they might be wrong about the world.
They are as cast adrift in liberal subjectivity as the rest of us. Many of them are ignorant of the implications of capitalism, the modern world, and how artificially constructed their ideas of "tradition" are. All of these factors make their conservative/reactionary ideals impossible to attain, yet they refuse to admit it. They will continue embody that fake Einstein quote they brandish at their self-help lectures, because they keep promoting the same failed ideas over and over again.
