Damn the replies to your comment are wild.

I agree with everything you say. I hate this man but I am not as petty as to think this is funny or that he should die.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

I've become exactly that petty. There's too much unpunished grift in this world.

Don’t fall for the paradox of intolerance. This guy regularly calls for the torture and killing of innocent people.

Not wishing him dead isn't the same as tolerating him and his beliefs

This is the will of Elohim. Peterson is a wicked man, and he's being punished for his sins. He's violated the first commandment far more often than most people. He does it for every meal.

OK, first off so what the fuck is Elohim? Also, what exactly is the first amendment of the Canadian constitution? The thing that he's violating so often?

[–] chillhelm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Elohim is one if the possible interpretations of the Hebrew name of God (or maybe it was one of the words Orthodox Jewish people use to invoke God without saying their name).

Presumably the person you are replying to is referring to the American constitution (yay American defaultism). But that one can literally only be violated by the government which afaik is not Jordan Peterson.

Diagnosis: The person you are replying to is either /s-ing hard or as loopy as a crochet convention.

Oh, I just noticed their username. Uninspired joke account.

I'm sorry, neighbour, autocorrect has caused me to mislead you. I meant to say the first commandment; thou shall not commit murder.
