Oh Peterson is extremely annoying. His preferred style of discussion is essentially an upgraded version of the Shapiro method:
- Throw out an argument
- When this argument is attacked, immediately derail the discussion to talk about definitions
- Whenever it seems like your opponent tries to define something by using a different word, interrupt them by questioning the definition of that word.
It’s the idea of platonic ideals but perverted, so that you cannot ever describe things, because to describe you have to use other things to compare them to. Critically, he never uses this argument against himself. His definitions, however circular they are, are unassailable and end up so distorted that he essentially creates his own language.
Take the word “believe”. To Peterson, this is defined as “willing to give up your life before renouncing a thing”. Who TF uses this word that way?
I would Invite them to Germany, but our research policies suck massive balls, sooo: Go to France or Denmark!

Nono, you’re not getting the first steak, you’ll be the first steak ^^
Gonna fire up the grill, do you wanna be the first steak?
Eating Humans is morally good actually since humans are a massive drain on the environment.

B. Adults raping children and adolescents is disgusting. Adolescents having sex with each other is a completely different thing. You wanna convict the 16 years old for having sex with their 15 year old partner? Is that “child sex” to you? I lost my virginity before I turned 18, should I go to jail? You should brush up on your definition of children.
belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices11·2 months agoIranian women have to get permission from their husbands to work and if a husband deems the employment of a woman to insult the honor of the family, he can revoke said permission at any time. If a woman is killed, the nearest living male relative can decide whether or not to forgive the murderer. This decision cannot be made by female relatives. A women’s testimony can always be overruled if a man testifies the opposite. If the family of a murder victim wants to receive money instead of seeing the murdered hanged, the murderer has to pay only half the blood money if the victim was female. Leaving Iran without the husbands permission is prohibited.
Women are routinely banned from certain events like football games or other public spectacles. Women are more often rejected as candidates in “elections”.
Rape has to be proven by at least three witnesses; spousal compensation ends, as soon as women leave their marital home.
Women are second class citizens in Iran. Not just through societal patterns, but by law.
I totally agree with you on your stance towards western involvement, but the amount of people outright denying that the IR is terrible for its people just disgusts me.

Iran allows marriage after the occurrence of the first period.
You see the difference?
Oh, and the harshest European law against hijabs is France’s asinine ban of full face coverage, which punishes the wearing of the niqab or tshador with a maximum fine of 150€. If one forces someone to wear these veils, they can be punished with a fine of up to 30.000€ and a year in prison. This law is horseshit, I wanna make that clear.
The Iranian law on Veils punishes the first offense with a suspended fine of 6.7 million toman, then on the second offense ramps up 13 million, then between 20 and 80 million and the fourth between 80 and 165. After the fifth, it’s two to five years in prison. For not wearing a veil.
It gets even funnier: if you advocate for people to not wear a veil, and you did so in corporation with some non-iranian entity or person, you will immediately be sentenced to a fine of between 300 million and 550 million toman and 5 to 10 years in prison. You can even be sentenced to death if the court determines that your actions are spreading “corruption and evil on earth”.

Boy you could not be more wrong
Brother, I have in laws in Iran. The regime is a brutal pile of dog turd, but at least they have the decency to just cultural genocide the kurds and not do an actual one.
They aren’t the good guys, they are the smaller pile of shit.
Israel has a larger nuclear arsenal right now.
I think I am like the fourth person to make that joke ITT
