Screenshot of a fake interview with Jordan Peterson with the following dialog:
McDonald's Cashier: "Would you like fries with that?" Jordan Peterson: "How would you know what I like?
Liking isnt the same as Wanting, or dare I say, Needing* MC: "...so you dont want fries or."
JP: "Define Fries"
MC: "uhhhh they're potatoes that-"
JP: So Vodka is fries? I'll have vodka with my big mac"

    I was implying that the meat® is from all of the animal... Also, I spent over two decades in the food industry (US, EU, etc.). Ask me for stories — if you don't ever want to eat at any restaurants ever again.

    Yeah but lips and anuses aren't spit, I think OP was implying that if you attempted what is listed about the kitchen staff are going to make sure the contents of their sinuses form the main protein of your burger.

    Yes, and animal fluids, et al, are not generally accounted for in the minds of those that consume said products. For instance, are you aware of the "acceptable" volume of fecal matter in "fast food" ingredients? 🤔

    I'm not going to say I've thought about it but I would expect it's defined for a lot of countries (I'd be more worried if it wasn't deck ed) and I'm going to assume in most cases it aligns with the regulation of fecal matter levels for other foods .. unless a lobby group has convinced the relevant government body that they are mitigating it with some process like bleaching (also not great). But on the whole I would expect fast food meat to have the same acceptable level of fecal matter as mushrooms. Whether the level is a problem is going to depend on your country ..

    Yes, and fecal matter on food (meat or otherwise) has been the norm for all of human history. We just have ways of measuring it now and make rules about it.

    This is only missing JP coming up with a completely deranged definition of what fries are that he demands the cashier adheres to (I don't think the vodka applies, that's more making fun of the cashier). And also him entirely dodging the question of whether he likes fries, stating that people have discussed whether he likes fries but he refuses to reveal it.

    Obviously fries represent the western civilization. Frying oil is the chaos dragon of woke left that means to destroy the fries, but will instead transform them into something even more beautiful, an entity of culinary perfection. But you would already know that if only you had bought my online course. sob It's so sublime. sob

    Employee listening in the background hears the timer for the fries go off. Pulls the basket out from the oil.

    Looks at the fries.

    Looks at the stand for them to drain.

    Looks at Jordan Peterson.

    False inductive reasoning combined with butwhataboutism and sealinoning. All designed to exhaust the opponent and muddy the argument. Conservatives love this form of argument.

    Sealioning (source) + whataboutism. A very cheap method of trolling and exhausting the opponent of the argument which relies on the victim being unaware of sealioning and they're being sealioned. It's frustrating seeing JP fans think this is proof he's a genius. it's like Ben Shapiro, another rightwing "influencer" who constantly speaks fast and gish gallops on purpose and his fans think he's a genius for that too

    Don’t forget the constant motte and bailey.

  • source

    That, too. For people who don't know what that is (source)

    The motte-and-bailey fallacy (named after the motte-and-bailey castle) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy where an arguer conflates two positions that share similarities: one modest and easy to defend (the "motte") and one much more controversial and harder to defend (the "bailey").[1] The arguer advances the controversial position, but when challenged, insists that only the more modest position is being advanced.[2][3] Upon retreating to the motte, the arguer may claim that the bailey has not been refuted (because the critic refused to attack the motte)[1] or that the critic is unreasonable (by equating an attack on the bailey with an attack on the motte).[4]

    1. Make a statement that is at best wildly controversial and at worst blatantly untrue
    2. Redefine the words in that statement to make it vacuously true and completely uninteresting
    3. When challenged, say that you don't care about common parlance
    4. Everyone loses, because this debate is now pointless and annoying

    It's mostly just that. The whole thing was a mess. The atheists were told they would be debating a Christian and prepared as such, but he won't define himself as a Christian. So much time is wasted dancing around that. They had to change the title from Christian debates to Jordan Peterson debates. On top of that he will barely engage properly, saying things like he won't entertain a hypothetical because he wouldn't allow himself to get in that situation in the first place. Just generally not acting in good faith.

    Ask about his Benzo addiction that literally gave him brain damage. Which was what all his doctors predicted would happen.

    Any video in which he's pandering to the Bible Belt Friends, in particular after 2020

    Some of his Q/A with crowds after a talk also show him extremely defensive for no good reason - I remember a couple around 2019 or 2020, unfortunately I don't remember anything useful to locate them. These are not the ones he used to host from home mind you

    I've had that quite a few times. Doesn't really go together but rather they go sequentially. First you drink vodka then later on you want greasy shit

    My father tried to tell me what a "genius" he is. I told my father point blank, Jordan Peterson is only a genius to morons. He even gave me one of Peterson's self help books, I immediately tossed it in the trash. Though, in retrospect, I probably should have tried to return it to Amazon and used the money to buy something more worthy of reading, like Chick Tracts. 😂 At least they're entertaining.
