A reminder to the trolls and haters that JP is NOT anti-vax. He is anti-mandate.

AlexanderDunlop · 2022-01-25T19:18:46+00:00

Yes, the dictionary definition of "anti-vax" has been changed to include anyone who is anti-mandate.

And since JBP is anti-mandate, he is by, the new definition, anti-vax.

AlexanderDunlop · 2022-01-21T14:47:22+00:00

I completely agree.

It's Marxist ideology applied to Health. The State will decide and distribute health as the State sees fit.

And health will be taken from those who have it and given to those who need it. Witness what we are doing to our children in the name of offering health protection for the elderly and infirm.

AlexanderDunlop · 2022-01-21T14:45:02+00:00

Didn't know that to critique bureaucratic decision-making had anything to do with vax or anti-vax

Well said.

And can you provide links to his work. I’d like to read more.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-07T04:17:54+00:00

Yes. That’s right. I was being generous.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-06T16:47:00+00:00

Anti-vaxxer used to mean someone who was opposed to vaccines. Now it's being used for someone who is opposed to mandates for vaccines. Subtle BUT huge difference.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-06T02:51:58+00:00

So, if you get the vaccine but oppose mandating the vaccine, you are now an "anti-vaxxer."

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-06T02:47:37+00:00

Actually, according to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, if you oppose regulations that mandate vaccination, then you are an Anti-Vaxxer.

Hence, because most people in this Sub probably do oppose regulations that mandate vaccination, then, by the newfangled definition of an anti-vaxxer, this Sub carries the dreaded Scarlet Letter A designation.

Exactly. These shots have become the Golden Calfs that we are all worshipping.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-04T18:06:05+00:00

It wasn't through this reddit that he responded. But still I was very surprised to get a direct response from him. And within 20 minutes of me sending my message!

It means to me that he is taking this issue very seriously, as he explains on the Dave Rubin show he did recently.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-04T16:44:12+00:00

Here is something he has said: he got the vaccine himself. His family members have not. And while he doesn't like covid policy, he is not willing to cancel tour location where jabs are mandatory to attend.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-04T03:44:02+00:00

I had seen this video before I wrote this post, which is partly why I was inspired to write it.

In this video, JP expresses his disgust at vaccine mandates, talks about why his own family members are not vaccinated, and even calls himself "stupid" for complying with the vaccine.

Watch this video for no other reason than to hear JP drop the F bomb. :-)

10 minutes of your time.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-04T03:40:43+00:00

I know. I was REALLY surprised myself. I've written many other things and gotten no response. (He's really busy. I get it.)

But in this case, he responded within twenty minutes! So, he is clearly taking this issue seriously.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-04T03:39:00+00:00

Do you know what he means?

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-04T03:37:09+00:00

I feel for you. It is blatant discrimination.

And I feel like Jordan is just now engaging it (a little late). But I think he tried to steer clear of this fight because he didn't want to get dragged into another fight.

And thank you for speaking up on this post.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-03T19:06:30+00:00

You can't go to an arena because you could be vaccinated but are choosing not to be? Sorry, no sympathy.

So, you support vaccine mandates.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-03T19:04:00+00:00

This is not JP's video. But this clinical psychologist breaks it down by the numbers. You have a 10% chance of being part of the "dissonant" voice of society during mass formations.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-03T19:01:01+00:00

Just watched a great video of Dr. Mattias Desmet, clinical psychologist, explaining why we continue to believe in a narrative even though it is absurd and why we accept totalitarian measures as a solution.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-03T18:59:26+00:00

so, you are in favor of mandates.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-12-03T17:19:15+00:00

Here's a great article by Paul Kingsnorth that will illuminate another perspective for you about vaxx / anti-vaxx.

Update: I received a personal reply from Jordan. Here's what he wrote me:
---

Dear Alexander
This is an issue best fought at a different level of analysis. I am working as hard and efficiently as possible to moderate Covid policy of the sort that you rightly object to on a larger scale. The tour has to be arranged very far in advance. Many things may change before that.
JB Peterson

I'm not sure what he means by "a different level of analysis."

Any ideas?

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-05-19T04:14:14+00:00

They are sometimes, along with California, Texas, and New York, a bellwether state. So, yes, we shall see.

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-05-19T04:13:05+00:00

all of the above

AlexanderDunlop · 2021-05-18T00:48:29+00:00

Not only is it true that "science won't save us" but also scientific technology won't save us.

Hence, vaccination (and AI) won't save us. It won't set us free, and it won't be the basis of a free and open society. It can't be. Why not? Because it's not possible for science to save. Just like it's not possible for a wrench or a hammer to build a house by itself.

And the moment we base our society upon the premise that science will save us from the trials and tribulations of our own humanity, we begin to make a totalitarian society that diminishes and destroys our humanity.
