Jordan Peterson: Kavanaugh Should Step Down from Supreme Court to 'Have His Name Cleared'

Another celebrity bubble going pop?

I've never grasped the orgasmic reaction to Peterson. He has some good points, some bad points and fallibilities in thinking, communication and presentation like so many others.

It's funny that some have created a Reddit in his name and worship him there. Short lived Cults of Personality are like that. Peterson has normally one thing in his favour which is he is rhetorically sound and rejects the premise of others questions when they are Gotchas.

But then again, any professional psychologist knows how to do that, as do so many others across fields from Politics to playgroup co-ordinators. When Peterson stays inside his own fields of expertise he is good, but when he steps outside he often prat falls.

How's that going to happen when the story is unfalsifiable?

I would guess that Kavanaugh would find it impossible to clear his name completely after all these years.

ThePigmanLIESAgain:

Jordan's actual tweet:

I'm not certain that is the right move. It's very complex. But he would have his name cleared, and a figure who might be less divisive might be put forward.

While Jordan is "wrong" that BK would have his name cleared - he would simply fade into obscurity he isn't wrong that a less divisive figure might have been put forward.

But then again Jordan isn't an American and he doesn't fundamentally understand that our elections have different consequences than the more touchy-feelie Canadian "why can't we all just get along" mentality.

I will be voting this fall, and I will be voting straight Republican as a "fuck you" to Feinstein and the Democratic leadership that staged this little show.

I'm disliking Peterson more and more.

I get where he is coming from but I disagree.

He may be right fundamentally but in practice and in this particular case don't work.

“And if the Democrats are able to get what they want out of it, whether because Kavanaugh nobly but futilely falls on his own sword, or because the Democrat mob opts to impeach—the equivalent of pulling a fire alarm to shut down a speaker they don’t like — it will open a door we do NOT want opened.”

This is the core of the problem. The democrats created a scenario where Republicans couldn't pass on Kavanaugh without establishing that any candidate could be vetoed by a minority party at will, with a simple unfounded accusation.

The democrats didn't have the votes to accomplish their agenda, so they went for a hail Mary, regardless of the damage they were doing

Let's not become the left, we don't eat our own just because they have one opinion different then ours.

He states: "I believed if confirmed then Kavanaugh would be vindicated and could preserve his reputation (I understand the damage that has been done to him. perhaps better than most) but by withdrawing he could effectively deprive his more radical opponents of their selfrighteous moralism."

Let's not become the left, we don't eat our own just because they have one opinion different then ours. Also Peterson never said what's happening is right. All he is talking about is how to clear one own name.

Cristi_Tanase · 2018-10-08T14:30:54+00:00

Can we please stop attacking someone that help us for stating his opinion, even if we don't like it?

Yes, he said a stupid thing, but is his right. Let's not jump on everyone that is not 110% aligned with our views, we become just like SJWs ffs!

I will not gonna attack someone that took so much shit from the liberals and sjws, just because he said something I don't like.

We have so few allies that everyone counts, and even if it seems that the war is over, is just a damn battle won, they will come back with more hate, more vile, more outrageous anti-male shit...

We need him on our side.

The most sensible thing Peterson has said in a long time.
