I bravely ventured into /r/JordanPeterson to see if they had any updates and I have returned with this galaxy-brain take:

i had my suspicions immediately about him going to Russia ... now he's been there so long I go back to my earlier reasoning: he was potentially under some kind of threat. It sounds very conspiracy-theory-ish but I dont think it's so unreasonable to think that the most powerful voice against the tidal wave of progressive bullshit could be enough of a problem to warrant intrigue.

if you were the radical left wing and you wanted your continuous race-baiting, gender-baiting, idpol bullshit to keep dividing people in the west, your highest priority would be to discredit Jordan Peterson. An addiction to a drug is a good method... who knows whether the dr that prescribed him benzos was not acting under someone's influence?

the thing i dont understand is how someone as experienced as JP would allow himself to get addicted in the first place.
