When he first began his battle with governments, big tech and censorship, he was smashing the left with clear logic that couldn't be debated. Then he went missing for a while due to being an alcoholic and drug addict (according to himself), got some sort of disease and went off to Russia to get the treatment.
Why Russia? Apparently the Canadian gov wouldn't approve a particular drug he needed. The Russians did.
Now he looks different like he's done work to his face and although he goes off pretty hard on twitter, he doesn't practice what he preaches.
He's doing shows all over the US and Canada but most or many are in places that require vax pass.
Joe Rogan on the other hand cancelled his shows in Canada due to their insane mandates.
So what's the deal with this dude?
I think this is a simplification that does not do credit to the trauma he experienced.

Jordan is doing what Jordan feels is important. Yes these vaccine passport battles are important, and yes he has supported the truckers, but, Jordan has his own battle to fight.
Just because he is not dropping everything to fight the battles we want him to fight does not make him any less important or any less of a hero.
Trauma he experienced? My brother is a kidney transplant recipient that was pressured non stop and threatened to have his prescription stopped because he is unvaxxed. This was after 2 years of nearly dying on dialysis several times, multiple seizures, one that caused him to hit the ground so hard WHILE tied to giant needles cleaning his blood, that also broke his shoulder. He went on unpaid leave and has 2 kids, a mortgage and wife. A young family.
"Trauma"? My brother suffered and got another job to stand for what he believes in and never pretending to be anything else for profit.
Fuck this guy and his trauma.
Just because you feel your brother has experienced worse, does not take away from another persons experience.
I hope your brother and his family are able to recover.
You're right, it doesn't. However, when you have a presence like that and call the gov tyrants 10 times a day for mandates then you hold shows where those very same mandates exist, you're being a hypocrite. It's utter horseshit.
I don’t know about that. Jordan’s message is hugely important to people and who knows how long any of us have in this world, so make hay while the sun is shining.
I reserve judgement of Jordan Peterson or other highly effective people because they are highly effective. So obviously their decisions have been right thus far, even if I disagreed with them.
