It is special to people who haven't read any philosophy and have been raised purely on pop culture and video games. As goofy as he can be, peterson is a force for good in the world overall and doesn't deserve his lolcow status. Not over people like Sargon, Razorfist, Hasan and the jew from h3h3, that's for damn sure.
Nothing says "force for good" quite like spewing basic bitch sophistry, contradictory rules or rules that are straight up not applicable in most genuinely dire living situations. Fuck chronic depression or schizophrenia. clean your room, bucko.
"set your house in order before you critique the world", says the glorified self-help guru whos house looks like the Chernobyl fucking power plant.
I love to be told to be a "man who takes responsibility" by a dude who not only got addicted to Benzos, but when his wife and daughter needed him the most went to fucking Russia to almost an-hero himself because "Rehab is too hard, you guys", falling into a fucking coma and becoming coco for coco-puffs in the aftermath.
I get it, being an adult who has his shit in order is a good thing. only a retard needs to buy a book to figure that shit out. But when most the shit he spews and says is little more than a thinly veiled critique of the modern world in favour of a world that has never fucking existed, all the while failing at every turn to actually uphold his own values, that goes beyond being "goofy". I'd call the fucker a con-artist if it werent for the fact that he is legitimately out of his mind.
Imagine the sheer unbridled arrogance required to tell a millenial dangerhair that they need to straighten their back before going to their minimum wage job that they work at 24/7, meanwhile you rake in 6 digits just crying on streams. occasionally scoring enough relevance to be featured somewhere outside of your echo-chamber.
