It seems a day won't pass anymore without Peterson saying something stupid. Now he is angry at CBC news for reporting of the death of Reuters journalist in Lebanon from Israel's bombing, and that food and other crucial supplies are running low in Gaza. What a fall from grace.
Did he delete these tweets? They don't open for me but I don't have a twitter account so not sure.
In any case, I've been souring on JBP for months now. He's been either repeating himself ad nauseam or making an ass of himself by being wrong about so many things, so I can't say that I'm surprised by his twitter tantrums (twantrums?).
I was looking for the above posts and found this:

BILL HURRELL: Why wokeness faces extinction after Israel
It's basically saying that wokeness will go extinct because of its support for Palestine.
Well, looks like all of us here have been part of the Woke brigade all along. News to me.
The black and white thinking is just astonishing to me, though, and, as others pointed out earlier, it seems to be a herald of a whole new chapter in the Culture Wars.
People are expected to take sides in a clearly delineated landscape of ideas and political positions.
If you're taking a non pro-Israeli stance, then you're also a Marxist, CRTist, Transgenederist snowflake. If you're pro-Israel, you must be against all those things.
It looks to me like what this is doing, is infecting all sides with lies. If you're not inclined to find your own path, as most people aren't, there's no chance you'll be aligned with the truth.
Also, I've just been waiting for this to happen, and was wondering how it would be achieved. The Right will take over the reins once again and it looks like it might be a lot worse than the Left was these past years.
Either way, it's gonna be more authoritarianism.
At the same time, I'm happy to see Russia and Putin take the side of truth and reason in this matter. I think it validates the consensus about Russia here on the forum and shows that they've really grown into their role of powerful champion of justice and fairness on the global stage. Hopefully, their initiatives will bear fruit and the JBPs and Netan-Yahoos of this world will soon become a dream in the past...
...how tragic that I can make this comparison between these two people.
More ranting....
Reading this back, I find that my thoughts about this culture war thing are still not clear enough. There's more going on there. It seems like a master stroke of the controllers. With a single event, one that isn't even that much out of the ordinary (this is just more of what was already happening for decades), they've managed to sow even more discord between the people in the West (and the Middle East). The divisions in society were already incredible but now they have the potential to grow to epic proportions.
Alas, all we can do right now is pray for the Gazans, the Jews, the Arabs and the entire World. God give us all wisdom and strength to get through this and come out on the other side as better people and better societies. And may the passing over to 5D be as painless and with as little suffering as possible for those whose fate is to leave this world.
