When Jordan Peterson enters a room, he doesn't turn the light on. He turns the dark off. Courtesy of JP, I now consider myself to be a (non-practicing) lapsed atheist.

I agree in principle, but Boris' character is about as deep as a shallow puddle.

I frequently attribute my morning headaches to dodgy ice-cubes.

Methinks you do an injustice to the Bard. Surely, The Tragedy of King Lear is more appropriate. "I am a very foolish fond old man, Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind."

Credit where credit is due, JT was still actively posting as of Friday, but he may now be feeling a little bit punch-drunk.

We are so unburdened by what has been,

Trump's biggest mistake in 2016 was not clearing out the DOJ and sending Hillary's ass to jail. I hope he overcomes his first term naivety this time around.

Yep, Tucker at his best. But you need to understand comedy and irony to interpret this short clip. I suspect you have a short attention span. Watch this and come back in in one hour, eleven minutes, 59 seconds and give us your opinion. In reality, your cognitive dissonance will have you vomiting at 59 seconds. Good luck.

Your response is so typically paradoxical, I'll retire from the conversation to go and watch Whoopi and Joy Baher on The View. Maybe I need a reality check.

JT - I do this every day, perhaps you should try it. For every hour you spend watching/your favoured left wing media sources, spend an equivalent hour watching/reading media sources with opposing views or a different interpretation. By sourcing information from both sides, some sort of balance is achieved in one's mind. You are better able to understand opposing opinions. I thoroughly understand your hatred of Trump. The MSM portrayal of him as a rabid Hitlerite has convinced many people for many years that he is in fact Hitler re-incarnate. Watch at least a few hours of Shapiro, Rubin, Peterson, Carlson, Crowder, Kirk, the Hodge Bros, Brandon Tatum, Anthony Logan, to name a few. Eventually, even though you will probably not change your political perspective, you may come to realise that what you call "Maga Fascists" actually have opinions equally as valid as those on the left.. You may not realise this - Trump supporters actually think Trump is a bit of an idiot and buffoon, constantly puts his foot in his mouth, is a genuine comedian, but also wants the world to be a genuinely better place, and a bit like everyone's obnoxious uncle - is not afraid to say what he thinks and call a spade a spade. Anyway, try what I've suggested and suffer through some opposing views on youtube. Maybe start with Jordan Peterson - he will calm your soul.

Somebody once described trying to define fascism is like trying to nail jelly to a wall, or herd a bunch of cats. Fascism has existed on the left and right. But I think JT is confusing fascism with authoritarianism. But I'm pretty sure that no definition of fascism or authoritarianism includes; smaller and less powerful government, curtailment of rogue bureaucrats, lower taxes, greater freedom of speech, no wars, opposition to corporate bailouts, religious freedom, and an unbiased legal system.

Play the ball, not the man.

Well spotted, my apologies for mixing my metaphors. Okay, not exactly a metaphor, but you get the picture. And in my book, pedanticism is a virtue, not a curse.

I like going down rabbit holes. Years ago I entertained myself by quickly researching medical claims that you are x.xx times more likely to die because of "insert reason". In my own case, the cumulative effect of all my vices (drinking, smoking, sugar, lack of exercise, slightly obese, being male, high cholesterol, racing motorbikes, slightly autistic - I can't remember the rest), I was something like 37 times more likely to die than the average white male. Still kicking.

My lifelong policy is to treat the taxman like a mushroom, and keep them in the dark. I won't be changing my policy - they can come and find me. Catch me if you can.
