    They could be a Jordan Peterson person. I have a friend who got into an argument with me about how he thought he was “more left” than me when I called Natalie Wynn a liberal, and he also had a period where he thought Peterson was cool. I don’t really know how that happened, because the whole thing that made Peterson popular was transphobia and this friend of mine was utterly immersed in trans friends, acquaintances, lovers, etc. But I never really looked into Peterson back then so when he was like “nah he’s not what everyone says” i was kind of just like “alright whatever, some random canadian guy isnt a big deal”

    anyway, moral of the story i guess is people are fuckin incoherent

      I dated someone with similar brain worms. Vaguely anarcho-communist in her ideals, voted for Bernie both times, but her positions were usually reactionary because she only read books about magic. She was suckered into Jordan Peterson because he used big words to talk about the same magical ideas applied to the mind with Jung.
