I think we’re all a little dumber, having listened to that imbecile’s take on the situation. Peterson is the intellectual leader for morons and incels, with less and less integrity by the day.
To summarize his pleonastic diatribe, the attacks on Israel by Hamas is Biden’s fault for not praising Donald Trump’s Abraham Accords enough, resulting in Saudi Arabia…who, in Peterson’s worldview, have been pining to be a part of the “historic” Accords if only the Biden administration would heap the needed praise on Trump and his administration.
Seriously…that’s his take.
At first glance, if Saudi Arabia had been pining to be a part, why didn’t they do it while Trump was in office? Even beyond the Bush family, the Trump’s have been intertwined with the Saudis above any other administration, even his Secretary of Treasury handed $1 billion (Mnuchin) and his son-in-law given $2 billion, while Trump himself being given the LIV Tourneys at his golf courses. Even with Kuschner providing shade and excuses for the Saudis literally murdering and dismembering a journalist living in the United States for being critical, the Saudis were nowhere to be found at the signing of the “historic” Abraham Accords. MBS has stated quite clearly he doesn’t intend to sign, despite Biden’s attempt to bring them into the discussion over the last year, until his father dies…who’s been publicly sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and has tied their struggle is the Israeli state to their overall influence in the region for decades.
The premise of Peterson’s rhetoric is simply ridiculous. As per usual, he uses a preponderance of words to distract from the point he’s an imbecile who simply shills for his interests to dumb people who get caught up in his “eloquence.”
Actually think about his premise…the ENTIRE point of his argument: Because Biden’s administration didn’t heap enough praise on Trump, the Saudis wouldn’t join the Abraham Accords…while ALSO saying the reason for the attack, itself, was the Saudis were close to joining and Iran wanted to take over the narrative so they provoked Hamas to attack Israel to sabotage it.
I feel like in every single diatribe of Peterson, he always seems to disprove himself. This one is no different. It’s simply a whine session from a pseudo intellectual wanting to use the narrative for his own political obsessions.
The Abraham Accords, which involved 4 Arab nations UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and the Sudan. The Sudan signed to get taken off of the Terror Sponsor list, Morocco to gain the US endorsement of the Western Sahara (with its enormous phosphate deposits). Of course, Bahrain has been friendly to Israel for years, ending the boycott in 2005. Morroco has had back channel friendly relations since the end of the war in 1948. Outside of a boycott, Sudan had no relations with Israel, having not participated in any armed conflicts with them at any point in history and the UAE working with Israel since the 2010s.
Peterson praised the Accords as some sort of peace, despite them simply being “normalization” agreements with nothing in between, with 4 countries who didn’t have much to do with them anyway as far as hostility. The key piece of the Accords being almost no mention of the Palestinians. For years, the requirement of any agreements always related to the Palestinian question. What the Trump administration did with the Accords is try to remove the Palestinians from the question itself, simply ignoring them. Peterson tries to clearly state that the Saudis wanted to join the Accords, but were for some reason not going to until Biden praised Trump (wtf?) and Iran was not going to let that happen so they provoked this attack. The fact is the Biden administration kept the Accords mindset, have been trying to bring the Saudis into the agreement, both sidestepping the Palestinians.
His description of the Woke crowd is hilarious projection, considering he built the argument on the premise the Trump’s administration deserves accolades and that’s why the Saudis haven’t joined:
“Narcissistic personality disorder, the proclivity to proclaim positive virtue or outright victim status while pursuing their positively self serving and grandiose claims…they lie, cheat, steal, gossip, reputation savage, brag, claim credit where none is due, and distribute blame to everyone but themselves, all the while pursuing nothing but their own immediate, immature, hedonistic self-gratification, ALL THE WHILE trumpeting their moral virtue and/or brandishing their identity as unfairly oppressed innocents and when they organize, they threaten the integrity of the entire society…”.
You couldn’t get a more apt description of Trump which, of course, Peterson projects onto his persistent enemy…wokeness, despite his inability to explain exactly what that is. In the end, Peterson is a propagandist, a rhetorical artist who has very little to actually say as a point, a proverbial defender of incels to the point of even stating we should legally force women to fuck them while constantly beating the drum against perceived “Marxism” despite his readiness to take hold of the powers of government to force his some to submit themselves to those he favors to make the society as a whole better in his perceived mind. It’s always projection with these people.
“…woke brigade’s attack on the West”? What the fuck are you even talking about?
