Peterson: "I'm not alt-right, pleeeeaasse belieeeeve meeeee!!!!"
Media: Laughs
Are you suggesting that Peterson should just bend over and take it when the media outright lies about him, then? What is the point of this post?
The point is that it's hilarious that the media can make Peterson dance like a monkey every time they toss out a casual reference to him being alt-right or "aligned".
The correct response is to shrug your shoulders or maybe start a law suit. It takes the media 5 minutes to accuse him and it takes him 5 weeks to recover, after which he always looks like a bitch anyway.
But such is the life of celebrities who both fail to tow the progressive line AND refuse to draw the connections of who's pushing what and why. Peterson wont hit back in any meaningful way, which is why the media will continue to spend that 5 minutes every 5 weeks to slander him and watch him chase his tail.
I suppose what's worse is that for a clinical psychologist and a guy that in general should know better it sets a terrible example for the guys who look up to him as some sort of mentor. He should be well aware that engaging honestly with monkeys flinging shit is a moronic endeavor and that real men should place themselves above that. Threaten legal action or simply call slander out for what it is in as few words as possible. Being a public figure doesn't mean you need to engage with every shit-tier journalist that takes a shot at you. It only lends those shit-tier journalists credibility.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
