Supporting Israel doesn't mean compromised. A person can think they're the "good guys" without being paid or extorted or whatever. Hamas isn't exactly likeable.

Sorry but after 10 years of a man preaching about having an impeccable moral standing and claiming individual responsibility, I expect for him to at least not post war mongering screams like a retard when it comes to supporting Daddy Shapiro's side

Jordan Peterson has no ethics or principles. We have catalogued all the instances throughout this thread. He especially embraced grifterdom after he got out of his coma. So maybe at one time he did (doubtful) but he hasn’t in years. Him getting hired by The Daily Wire sealed the deal. He’s never been a very mentally resilient guy but he’s a shadow of a husk of his former self at this point. He really needs to just retire at this point. Focus on his grandkid(s), go take them to the park, the zoo, or something.

Pretty much everyone think they're the good guys.
Peterson is too smart and politically aware to be so easily misled.

He's intelligent but not politically aware. He's from the most brainwashed generation in human history and is too stubborn and too weak to break out.
I'm sure he does go about his day believing he's the good guy but there is a conscious part of the boomer that knows he's trapped in a lie. If there weren't, then he wouldn't have avoided talking to nazis his whole life despite constantly preaching about the necessity of talking to people with whom you disagree. He wouldn't refuse to read Solzhenitsyn's other book.. He wouldn't bang on about gender differences for a decade and shirk away like a wilting willy on the question of racial differences.

I don't understand how he ever got famous. Reagan era economic principals and morality policing shouldn't have gotten so popular with millenials and older gen z who became his fans a decade ago but it did. Yikes.
I was just reading a while ago that the reaganomics in the 1980's lead to a debt crisis that still hasn't been paid off. The boomers crates a credit crisis. Those economic policies for so many reasons are crazy. They got us to the bezo-musk-oligarchy.
And the moral police never has worked. There are loads of trannies in Iran alone despite their Sharia.

I hope this won't get too long but, for long story short I've tried to give him a fair re think and all.
500% Jordan was ruined by his wife. She's a munchie. No one has 23 kinds of cancer and never dies. Jordan is a very emotional man, you can be one and a strong man, an educated man, a moral man. This shit broke him, now you can debate (and I don't give him a free pass) letting himself being broke.
I can't picture the horror of my wife being told she's got the big C or anything else life ending, I'm far from an open book or emotional person but when she gets a paper cut my very soul hurts. These scars over and over needing something to function... something easy to abuse.
I mean it's like taking oxys for a sore thumb. It won't end well.
Now he's a sell out, a shell a fucking loser and his daughter the whore she is, plays same game as mommy. She's a fucking monster remember she had daddy pay to hang out with sex trafficer all around manlet and BALD Andrew Tate. When she should have been a mother herself.
Remember when they wanted to take his certs because he was "alt right" he was already eating little Benny at the Daily wire's asshole for money in under 5 mins he claimed he's making 200k+ a month (he probably is) and then mentioned his go fund me for lawyers. I don't make 200k a month and good chance you the reader don't either. But we need to give money to him ? Not paying for his books, lectures etc. But just GIVE it. not trade for a skill/education/service you know basic exchange of capitalism (that he claims to love). Court and lawyers aint cheap but he didn't want to pay for it.
He's got a jobless family and 200k could fund them well but it's just not enough, so pay up GOY!
Sam Hyde should fight him, it would be hilarious.

That article is paywalled, so here it is in full:
Truth about Jordan Peterson's catastrophic decline: Inside his living hell, dumbstruck and in 'overwhelming pain' locked up on $50m estate... as friends point finger about REAL cause
He made his name tearing up the rulebook on gender, politics and polite society, becoming one of the most celebrated and reviled public intellectuals of the modern era in the process.
But now, Jordan Peterson's lifelong embrace of unconventional thinking may be coming at a cost to his health.
The 63-year-old Canadian psychologist and bestselling author, whose books have sold in the tens of millions and whose net worth is estimated at more than $100 million, is gravely ill.
Details have largely been scant. It is not clear whether he has been seen in public at all for the better part of a year.
In October 2025, Peterson's daughter Mikhaila posted to her Instagram account that her father had 'got sick and came to stay with us in July, then... went to the hospital by ambulance.'
Earlier this month, 34-year-old Mikhaila shared another update, this time in a video message shared to X, formerly Twitter.
Peterson has, Mikhaila said, been suffering from an agonizing condition called akathisia, which causes intense restlessness, a tortuous inability to keep still and a constant feeling of terror.
It has been described by patients as the most 'frightening hell a human can experience' and, in some cases, it drives sufferers to kill themselves.
A recent photo posted in October 2025, though perhaps captured in July that year, shows Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and his wife in their home in Arizona. It is believed to be the last known photo of Peterson
Peterson ( pictured in 2018 ) became one of the most celebrated and reviled public intellectuals in the later 2010s, but is now a shell of his former self, friends say
Mikhaila, who appears to now be managing her father's affairs, added that his symptoms began 'last summer'.
She also said that the Peterson family believe the condition was triggered by anti-anxiety medication he was prescribed after his wife was diagnosed with cancer in 2020.
Mikhaila—who has been criticized for embracing unproven medical theories—additionally claims her father has been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition triggered by exposure to toxic mold.
Known as CIRS, it is hard to diagnose and not widely accepted in mainstream medicine.
She says too that complications from fighting life-threatening pneumonia and sepsis simultaneously landed Peterson in intensive care last summer.
Her father was, she said, 'near death.'
Now, the Daily Mail has learned that Peterson is a shell of his former self. Far from the commanding presence he became known for in debates and public lectures, he is now struggling to sustain even brief conversations.
Friends and family describe Peterson's daily life as a grinding struggle.
Even on good days, he rarely leaves his luxury compound in Arizona, which he bought during a $50 million property investment spree at the end of 2024. The crown jewel of the family’s portfolio is a $35 million estate in Paradise Valley.
Long walks and hot tub sessions bring some relief. He also works with specialists on mental exercises and physical therapy.
Jonathan Pageau, a French-Canadian YouTuber and close friend who has visited several times in recent months, said Peterson could barely sustain a few minutes of conversation before being 'overwhelmed with pain and discomfort.'
Only fleeting glimpses of his former self now remain—moments at dinner or in conversation where the sharp wit that once defined him occasionally cuts through.
'Good days look like struggle and pain, but he's still capable of taking walks, working on projects and having good conversations,' Pageau told the Daily Mail, adding: 'Just with difficulty, and never for long.
'Bad days are constant pain and akathisia. He struggles to focus on anything and lapses into discouragement and despair.'
In short, the condition is, as Peterson's daughter Mikhaila describes it, 'the worst thing I've ever seen anyone go through' and has gotten worse over the last few months.
Peterson has long struggled with bouts of depression but his serious health issues began at the height of his fame in 2019, when his wife Tammy, now 60, was diagnosed with kidney cancer and he began increasing his anti-anxiety medication to cope.
His family says he had a 'paradoxical reaction' to clonazepam, brand name Klonopin, which acts like a slower release version of Xanax.
Peterson himself described his condition at the time as 'dire' and confessed he had been left 'hoping that I would die.'
Most doctors say akathisia can be treated by slowly weaning patients off their medication.
But Peterson pursued bizarre and fringe medical treatments which friends told the Daily Mail they believe intensified his symptoms—not lessened them.
Peterson's daughter, Mikhaila, 34, has been accused of promoting quack medicine
Peterson and his daughter in Russia where he had a radical detox to treat his akathisia in 2020
Against his doctor's advice, Peterson flew to Moscow in January 2020 to be placed in a medically induced coma for more than a week to force a 'rapid detox'.
He had also adopted his daughter Mikhaila's radical red meat-only diet, which medical professionals warn against.
'My sense is that he probably didn't need to go so extreme,' one of Peterson's long-standing academic collaborators told the Daily Mail, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A fellow academic who collaborated with Peterson extensively in the 2000s and 2010s noted pointedly that he was 'a lot healthier' before the all-meat diet.
Whether it was the Moscow treatment or his reaction to the drugs that did the damage remains unclear, but Peterson emerged from the experience in even more desperate shape.
He was unable to walk, stripped of large portions of his memory and faced months of grueling rehabilitation split between Moscow and Serbia.
His road back was punishing. He walked ten miles every day to battle the 'unbearable' restlessness of akathisia and endured aggressive 90-minute sauna sessions each morning.
For a time, it seemed to work. A new book arrived. A lucrative deal with conservative network the Daily Wire followed in 2022.
His provocative voice was back on screens across the globe. But he suffered a setback when both of his parents died in 2024.
He relocated to Paradise Valley, Arizona, reportedly pouring $50 million into properties there, including a headquarters for Peterson Academy, an online education platform that he runs with Mikhaila.
Then, in August 2025, came another devastating blow.
The Petersons moved to the affluent Arizona suburb of Paradise Valley at the end of 2024
The Petersons enjoy a family celebration. Mikhaila married Jordan Fuller in 2022
Peterson was taken to hospital via ambulance with pneumonia that rapidly progressed to sepsis.
His 2026 speaking tour across North America and Europe was scrapped.
And ever since, Peterson's YouTube channel, followed by nearly 9 million people, has not been regularly updated. His most recent podcast episode dropped in August 2025, though it is not clear when the episode was actually filmed, and could well be historic.
'It is really an existential struggle that is fought every day and finding the right help has been difficult,' said Peterson's friend Pageau.
Another pal, speaking anonymously, told the Daily Mail that Peterson's lifelong habit of opposing mainstream expert opinion had paved the road to fringe medicine as surely as it had paved his road to intellectual stardom.
He'd grown accustomed to being 'opposed to what common experts think,' the friend said.
Others have raised concerns over Mikhaila, who promotes so-called ketogenic therapies and claimed her father's ailments stem from mold exposure and 'mitochondrial dysfunction'—theories that mainstream medicine does not support.
She has also suggested his health battles are connected to political tensions, claiming that the 'family has been attacked spiritually'—a statement that has raised eyebrows even among those sympathetic to the Petersons' ordeal.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Mikhaila for comment.
Jordan 'just needs to rest and heal now,' said his friend Gregg Hurwitz (pictured), the bestselling Los Angeles thriller writer
Gregg Hurwitz, the bestselling Los Angeles thriller writer and longtime friend, said he would not second-guess the choices of a man who had carried such an enormous burden for so long.
'Jordan shouldered an enormous amount of responsibility for an enormous number of years for a lot of people in the culture,' Hurwitz told the Daily Mail.
'He carried that load alone. He just needs to rest and heal now.'
For millions of fans around the world who found in Peterson a voice of clarity and courage in confusing times, those words will surely resonate. Those same fans are now waiting anxiously to see whether the man who urged them never to give up can find a way back from the brink.

Peterson’s state of illness seems to just stem from his benzo addiction and then a bunch of alternative medicine crap that only made things worse. It didn’t have to be this way, like how Steve Jobs may have survived his cancer if he chose to treat it normally rather than with ineffective alternative medicine, he basically just chose to not treat his cancer and commit suicide like a complete retard.

As I said before. This is pretty much what I think happened.
He clearly wasn't well, abused benzos because he couldn't deal without, couldn't quit on his own, got severe PAWS when he was taken off them. Couldn't deal with that at all and started the alternative medicine route, which probably made everything worse, which made him find more alternatives ad infinitum.
I do feel sad for him, it must be terrible to feel you're unable to cope with existing constantly.

Good to see criticism here, but it should be more mikhaila also. Seems like everyone on the right is convinced the family just has bad luck and "mold" and "spiritual attacks" keeps making Jordan nearly die.
I've always been skeptical of his daughter, but she's verging on cult leader territory now with her mitochrondria talk. It's one thing to question things and experts, I think you should, but not to this degree. This is batshit insane. The family is insane asylum level now.
He had a pill problem, and shit got worse bc of catastrophic levels of hypochondria.

I just don’t feel sorry for grifters who bilk people much poorer than them out of money that would be better spent anywhere else.

All of the Petersons are ridiculous people.
