βif this is what it takes for men to feel proud about themselves, then maybe they should feel embarrassed insteadβ is probably the best single take on Jordan Peterson Iβve read anywhere

The illustration shows a moment from Anthony Coburnβs third draft of An Unearthly Child in which this happens:
βShowing great strength and agility, Dr. Who swings the schoolmaster off balance with a judo throw!β
Letβs all think for a moment that this could have happened. The Doctor throwing Ian into the air! Love it!
This is so fucking ridiculous but I barely even noticed because at this point you could tell me literally anything about Doctor Who and the only reaction Iβd have is βthat sounds about rightβ
iβm sick and sore w abdominal pain so Also i get to have no focus and iβve been crying over stupid things and iβve been out of it all day because Thatβs the physical spoons/emotional spoons death spiral i guess
one of the most annoying things about royal weddings is all the middle class liberals who come out with their tepid takes about how theyΒ βdonβt mind the royals, actuallyβ as if a liberal having no problem with unearned wealth and privilege is some massive shockerΒ
Innit. Especially now these two areΒ βsocially consciousβ, the mc liberals can really give that royal arse a good tonguing. The Queen knows what sheβs doing, sheβs adapting the monarchy to the times. They could go on for another 50 years like this.
The royal family existing is profitable for the UK as a whole, because it basically funds half the tourism industry. Theyβre obnoxious, but getting rid of them would actively harm the working class in many of the places most hostile to the working class. Get off your bloody high horse.Β
actually socialising their wealth would benefit the working class directly and weβd get even more tourists when the palaces are fully open to the public, like in the other countries that have done the sensible thing and gotten rid of their monarchies.
DM, while Iβm in combat: βGive me a perception check.β
Me: βUh, 14?β
DM: βNevermind.β
