More inappropriate humour from Peterson.

Post by _I have a question »

Under an image of Fidel Castro tying a blindfolded man to a tree so he can face a firing squad, Peterson captions:
"Republican Governor and serial human rights abuser Mike Pence, second from left, ties a blindfold on a man who’s about to be executed by firing squad on suspicion of insufficient conformity to the principles of the Religious Right."

Not funny.

You've got to understand conservative humor to appreciate it. Painting smiley faces with that brown stuff isn't exactly easy.

Peterson doesn't seem to have a filter.

From his racists lynching photos, his misogynistic and anti-Semitic remarks/posts, he certainly has ensured his legacy will be remembered. However, probably not in the way he imagined.

Thank goodness he's been repudiated and marginalized by BYU and the Church.

How so? I'd love to see it. As far as I knew he was still at BYU.

'Marginalised' surely means 'still there, but pushed into a more peripheral role than before', which seems a fair enough description given DCP's defenestration from the Maxwell Institute.

Yes, he's been marginalized and arguably repudiated by MI. Totally agree. I'm mainly questioning that the church and BYU have "repudiated" Peterson.

Exactly.

BYU and the Church fired a huge shot across the bow of Mopologetics by marginalizing Peterson.

Unfortunately, everyone understands this but Peterson. What few friends Peterson has left are slowly but surely distancing themselves from this juggernaut of anger and incivility.

You all lied, misrepresenting what he said and was meaning by the lynching photo.

And he doesn't do or say the other things you falsely claim of him. You are an evil human being.
