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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Don't forget that he's potentially permanently brain fried thanks to his cold-turkey medical coma detox.

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

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.

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.
