A lot of people seem to view Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson as two sides of the same coin, even though they’re quite dissimilar in many ways. I guess they both essentially sell the message of “man up” and “take responsibility for yourself”, but perhaps moralistically they’re not really the same, with Peterson recently saying (in reference to Tate) that “I’m not an admirer of pimps.”
Well it was only a matter of time before Tate hit back at Peterson, and he’s found the perfect opportunity following a Tweet by Peterson the other day in which JP tagged Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and basically advised him to go all guns blazing in the conflict Vs Hamas:
Andrew Tate called Peterson a “hypocrite” and suggested he was the last person who should be encouraging physical warfare, saying the following:
“I find it extremely asinine and quite childish, hypocritical, and also disingenuous that people like Peterson would call for the genocide and call for war, when truthfully he would hate to be anywhere near a war.
Jordan Peterson is not a soldier, and he is not capable of being a soldier. For him to sit and advocate destruction when he himself can’t handle Twitter haters and needs absolute peace of mind, let alone peace of physicality, to sleep at night without drugs. I find that quite disingenuous and short-sighted.”
Shots fired! In the same stream, Tate talked about the children who would suffer due to the Israel-Palestine conflict and promised to donate money to help them out, so that’s nice.
I wish Jordan Peterson would stay out of topics like Israel/Palestine because he’s so much more interesting when he’s talking about psychodynamics and self-improvement and that sort of thing. Tate should probably keep his trap shut too but I guess when you have as large a social media following as either of them people are going to demand your POV on anything and everything. Then again, I think Tate’s contribution was more about taking a return shot at Peterson for being extremely sensitive online and addicted to prescription drugs, than anything else.
