Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
The problem is that his room isn't clean. If he cleaned his room everything else would fall onto place including his health. His current state is his body rejecting the conditions it survives in.
That and eating nothing but the day old Wendy's hamburger patties they deemed too gross to throw in the chilli
Sadly, this means we will never see his 'falls in love with AI' arc
Nothing about the all meat diet or medically induced coma to attempt to skip benzo withdrawals huh
Nope, gotta blame the untermensch medication instead of owning up to being a dipshit who fucked up.
So much for personal responsibility!
couldn't happen to a better guy
"I ate like shit and took 0 care of my health for years and then I go to the doctor who gives me medication, and now I'm in a lot more pain? Clearly the doctor's medication is the thing doing this to me!"
Dr. Peterson has a well-documented history of medical struggles tied to his use of benzodiazepine medication.
“There are many testimonials written by people who have suffered from psych medication damage,” she told the Post. “The medical industry will have to face this evidence and take steps to protect the public from harm.”
Every single Psychologist will warn you about Benzos, will recommend against them, and even when they do prescribe them there is an entire plan to prevent this exact issue.
But this bozo did benzos recreationally... 
look these drugs might be addictive and physically and psychologically harmful and restricted for good reason but have you considered i might simply be built different? thought so
Only a psychiatrist can prescribe a pharmaceutical, not a psychologist, unless something changed since the last time I was in a psychologist's office.
:bleh: DOH! you are correct
Wait a second HIS WIFE IS ALIVE?!?!?! I thought he got on the benzos because she died. But it was just the diagnosis that sent him spiraling? lmao. Did have any hardships in his life? Also, was he ever on SSRIs? Because I think that would be the first medication for an otherwise healthy person that's not adjusting well to a life event like that. Maybe he was scared of ssris and only trusts medicine if it was available in the 70s.
He got on benzos because she had cancer and that was taking attention away from him.
The crank right thinks ssris are what make people snap and go on murder sprees, no joke.
Sort yourself out, bucko
Has he tried cleaning his room?
Hope he goes to another realm altogether.
Reincarnated In Another Realm Where The Post Modern Chaos Dragon of Cultural Marxism Rules (Still Suffering From Benzos Withdrawal)
If I recall, the symptom she claimed he was suffering from (iirc akathesia) can happen from acute benzo withdrawals… which is what almost killed him when he went cold-turkey off of benzos because of him and his daughters disgust at the idea of taking more benzos to safely wean off of them
critical support to Peterson's daughter for trying to kill him
These chuds are so clueless they probably thought weaning off the drugs is woke and what weak men do, or something
BTW Peterson wrote his PhD about alcoholism. Alcohol works on the same receptors as benzos and has the same problems in withdrawal. And he still decided he should be put in an artificial coma after having just recovered from pneumonia and withdraw benzos cold turkey. Absolute quack.
Goddammit I read "In another realm..." and got really excited for a second.
Hey now, at least he's suffering
Didn't think that was possible given how insufferable he is
good i hope it lasts a long time
another realm of pain
me without my benzos
He thought he was numbing the pain all those years but he was just delaying the inevitable and now he gets to feel all of it at once
Good I'm glad to hear it. I want bad people to suffer. I am not the platonic ideal of a Buddhist monk. I think pain and suffering should come to those who put it on the innocent. I think it also has an effect as a deterrent in certain cases - like the amount of ghouls that grew a conscience out of fear of getting louigied.
The chaos dragons are winning again!
poppin that shit that takes u straight to the shadow realm 💊
JBP is in another realm
of pain
I am still of the opinion that Peterson is on some modern Kierkegaardian Knight of Faith journey. Verily, what Peterson must discover is that it is a leap INTO faith and the only way out is through. That is right. Peterson must crawl INTO the anus of the chaos dragon and emerge from its gullet as a glorious rebirth. I believe in you, Dr. Peterson.
Wishing him the worst
Honestly better than him dying
Lol
I wish for a swift end to his suffering.
hahaha
