    Lmfao I thought maybe Peterson shared the photo himself, with some edgy statement about the horrors of communism

    Nope, just some random redditor saw him there. I would never stop laughing if that happened to me.

    This can't be real, he's not even dressed like a c-tier Batman villain

      He gave a presentation in London on November 1 at the ARC conference. The photo was uploaded to reddit on November 3.

      Jordan Peterson said on the Joe Rogan Podcast that his suit is designed by a company called LGFG. If you go to LGFG's website and look at the suits that they designed for Jordan Peterson, the first suit in their slide show is the same suit as the Marx photo.

      I know you are making a joke. I wanted to try to confirm that the photo is real.

        Holy shit. So he didn’t even follow the pandering advice of this company that designed his outfits? Because he got it completely wrong compared to the catalog.

        It’s hilarious that these sigma males need someone else to dress them though.

        Why does the suit description have a picture of a lobster instructing you to stand up straight? Everything about him would make more sense if Peterson was a lobster-man.

          If you look at the full catalog on the designer website, there are images printed into the jacket linings of each jacket. I think it's really tacky.

          Jordan Peterson is a lobster man. He says that lobsters fight each other to establish hierarchy and that humans are the same, so humans are lobsters. The man has destroyed his brain with benzos.

            I realized after looking again that it was the jacket liner, this company is so absurd and ugly and they probably make massive profit, wtf haha. If he has a long history of benzo use that makes a lot more sense, how many like him are literally suffering from brain damage? I don't mean to sound ableist, you can do great things with a disability, but if he legitimately believes what he says how can there not be something wrong with his rational/logical centers.

            most of his academic lectures are about rats and they are MUCH weirder than the shit he says about lobsters

          Unrelated to the joke but he fucking wore a tuxedo when he went on Joe Rogan lmao.

      I hope he’s colorblind because nothing matches. The blue jeans are way too casual if you’re going for the blazer-jeans look. Then the shoes are the wrong brown, and the mint-green shirt is entirely out of left field.

    Reminder that Karl Marx's giant head tomb is installed directly across from Herbert Spencer's grave. Spencer was kind of like the Jordan Peterson of his day, an insufferable liberal who never read stuff, and he'd have posting wars with Marx in the newspaper. He coined the term "survival of the fittest" and was partially responsible for creating social Darwinism.

    Now he's installed across from Marx's much more famous grave for all eternity. RIP bozo

      I'll have you know I've read at least two pages of Das Kapital!

    If I ever visit Marx's grave, I will lay mycorrhizal mushrooms at the base of it.

        Lol, yeah! What I mean by it is that youth pastors seem to have a style of sports coat with jeans, but they usually have them quite a bit more fitted and sometimes a bunch of embellishments. Kermit here is rocking with a baggy/relaxed/carpenter cut jean. Style is subjective of course, but I don't think the combo is working for him and I just imagined a bunch of catty youth pastors dunking on his fit.

      Throwback to the time that he debated Zizek on "Capitalism vs Marxism" and Peterson only prepared by reading the Communist Manifesto. Peterson didn't know enough about Marxism to even respond to Zizek.

    Can’t believe they killed the black epstein feed the same day
