“Oh, now it’s @jordanbpeterson who is the guy we go for military analysis on Ukraine and Russia. Sometimes, it just makes sense to stay in one’s field of knowledge to avoid looking silly and then seeing all those wise predictions fail miserably.??
This guy is a 'brothers-in-arms' to Azov. Seems he lost the uniform though.
Kiev Independent is backed by all sorts of globalist scum. Basically an American/EU propaganda outlet.
It's an Ukrainian "propaganda outlet".
An American/EU Ukrainian propaganda outlet, but I repeat myself.
If negative credibility mainstream media tells me Ukraine is good and Russia is bad, then I can only meet that claim with extreme suspicion.
Yes, obviously, but this goof is actually implying it's the Russians doing that instead of his vicious SBU/AZOV/jewish-neo-nazi buddies. He admits in his 'bio' that he literally works as a propagandist in Kiev.
And in relevant news today (also not "implying" but stating):
War crimes have been committed in Ukraine conflict, top UN human rights inquiry reveals (https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/09/1127691)
The lowest age in the confirmed rapes was a 4 year old.
The highest was 82.

Azov isn't an acronym (it's a sea), and he's not "implying" but explicitly stating (and quoting).
It's about a high school in Verbivka. Full quote:

The jackasses are using the fact he developed a physical addiction as an excuse to slander him despite the fact he took the drugs as prescribed.
I've actually softened quite a bit and forgiven Peterson somewhat for his benzo Russian coma therapy escapades during early COVID.
But Peterson hiding behind the "it was prescribed by a doctor!" defense for his moral and professional failings is such weaksauce.
Peterson is a world renoun Harvard psychologist for fuck sakes. He's not some rube that some pill mill doctor got hooked. Peterson knew the dangers of the medication on Day 1. Peterson also knew there exists dozens upon dozens of other options to treat his depression and anxiety that don't carry these same risks.
Peterson likely ended up on high doses of tranquilizers because he knows they work temporarily to alleviate your symptoms and they work fast without having to put in any hard work. But there's a terrible price to be paid that he was aware of for that Faustian bargain.
The propofol that killed Michael Jackson was prescribed by a doctor as well.
There's so much wrong with this I don't know where to start, but it's nice that you're benevolent enough to 'soften' on someone for having a paradoxical reaction to a relatively common medication. It's amusing that you feel he's done something that you need to 'forgive' him for. I guess he must have given you a personal assurance that he'd never use anti anxiety medications or something.
First, I don't know why anybody even cares about this. Either what the guy says is generally true and useful information, or it isn't. Even if he somehow failed to live up to his standards (as people like you seem to think), that doesn't mean that he's wrong for advocating those standards or that the standards themselves are wrong. So throwing out someone who generally gives pretty decent advice and seems to have his head screwed on right seems silly to me.
Second, psychologist != pharmacist. Psychologists don't even deal with drugs, typically. That's up to a doctor or nurse practitioner in a partnership with the psychologist/psychiatrist.
Third, if someone took any other drug and had a paradoxical reaction to it, would you hold it against them? If someone took a drug for its advertised effects, would you bitch and moan to them about the possible adverse side effects? Yeah, there are always risks. Sometimes you take the risk and suffer the consequences. Some people are going to get unlucky. And it is my understanding that he'd been basically unable to sleep for weeks or months due to a number of factors including his wife having a likely terminal cancer. If desperation to sleep drove him to try something with a higher risk, well, I can hardly say I blame him.
Mind reading and assumptions. Fuck off.
Peterson is just a guy, like anybody else. If he let you down from some god-level pedestal that you'd put him on and now you have to "forgive" him, well, the problem is with you, not him.
(now accuse me of simping for Peterson, when I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm just tired of reading pious midwit takes about him)
Are you upset about someone having his country's flag?
Jordan Peterson isn't any sort of military expert, or even an amateur (I'm an amateur, having been studying wars and the militaria since for over 3 decades literally ever since I learnt to read and I did so very early, also being an almost trained actual historian before dropping out after giving up on Latin).
