"Jordan Peterson ‘shocked’ by Captain America villain Red Skull espousing ‘10 rules for life’

Ta-Nehisi Coates’s new comic sees Red Skull mobilising young men against ‘the feminist trap’ and other Petersonian targets

In the new issue of Captain America, the superhero’s longtime nemesis Red Skull espouses his views about “10 rules for life”, “the feminist trap” and “chaos and order” – and Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is none too pleased.

Written by the [far-left] author Ta-Nehisi Coates, the Marvel comic features a version of the villain who looks to radicalise young men by telling them “what they’ve always longed to hear … That they’re secretly great. That the whole world is against them. That if they’re men, they’ll fight back. And bingo – that’s their purpose. That’s what they’ll live for. And that’s what they’ll die for.”

Peterson, the self-styled “professor against political correctness” who wrote the book 12 Rules for Life and is adored by young white men who feel alienated, describes chaos as being “represented by the feminine” and says that “the masculine spirit is under assault”. He took issue with the characterisation. “What the hell?” he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, after the comic was brought to his attention.

Peterson went on to post a series of his own adages, superimposed on an image of Red Skull, including: “The secret to your existence is right in front of you. It manifests itself as all those things you know you should do, but are avoiding”, and “If your life is not what it could be, try telling the truth. If you cling desperately to an ideology, or wallow in nihilism, try telling the truth.”

“Do I really live in a universe where Ta-Nehisi Coates has written a Captain America comic featuring a parody of my ideas as part of the philosophy of the arch villain Red Skull?” Peterson later asked, adding: “It’s hard not to be shocked by the sheer surreality of the time we inhabit ...”

The comic sees the baddie plan to stage demonstrations with the men he has radicalised online. “To his countrymen, Captain America speaks of dreams. He does not understand it’s not the dream that moves men to the boldest of action, but the nightmares,” says Red Skull, as the comic shows images of rioting men across the US, wearing Red Skull and American flag masks. Red Skull goes on to say: “What has happened to the men of the world is truly one of the great tragedies of our time … I offer you the sword of manhood.”"

An abominable writer. Never produced anything worth reading.

Like the majority of comic book authors. But worse.

I like this red skull. Its funny that when left wingers try to come up with a villain, they are actually describing good.

also, comics are failing anyways, so this is just alienating any male who is left reading them, which the majority audience is male and probably dorky who wants to be a man and manly, so they will side with red skull over faggy capt who probably opposes the term "manhood".

Marvel Comics fell to Tumblr and Reddit and sjw influences years ago, beginning in 2010 and culminating in a complete breakdown of editorial integrity in favor of sjw cred by 2012.

Are you guys saying that this may not be the most appropriate person to write for Captain America?

"[In] a section from Ta-Nehisi Coates’ book, “Between the World and Me.” Coates describes his 9/11 story. Coates wrote, “I suppose everyone who was in New York that day has a story. Here’s mine. I stood on the roof of an apartment building…taking in the sight—great plumes of smoke covered Manhattan Island. Everyone knew someone who knew someone who was missing. But looking out upon the ruins of America, my heart was cold…The officer who killed Prince Jones (a college classmate of Coates that was killed by a black police officer), like all the officers who regard us so warily, was the sword of the American citizenry…I was out of sync with the city. I kept thinking about how southern Manhattan had always been Ground Zero for us. They auctioned our bodies down there, in that same devastated, and rightly named, financial district…Bin Laden was not the first man to bring terror to that section of the city. I never forgot that. Neither should you. In the days after, I watched the ridiculous pageantry of flags, the machismo of firemen, the overwrought slogans. Damn it all. Prince Jones was dead. And hell upon those who tell us to be twice as good and shoot us no matter…I could see no difference between the officers who killed Prince Jones and the police who died, or the firefighters who died. They were not human to me. Black, White, or whatever, they were the menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could—with no justification—shatter my body.”"

I read his 12 rules book, basic advice, that everyone doesn’t need to hear, but they are powerful. You can’t read that and walk away with ”Hitler” in your mind. Personally I found his writtings, on the psychological importance of religion and archetypes most interesting. So much so, that I want someone to do it for Islam.

[Sam Adams]: "I like this red skull. Its funny that when left wingers try to come up with a villain, they are actually describing good."

I'm a broken record on this, but it's slave morality rearing its head again. They've inverted the values, so now virtue is seen in the new "villains" and their version of "good" is abhorrent self-debasement. On the plus side, it's an ideology that self-destructs.

A little.
Btw, does Mikhaila Peterson herself have any kind of interesting insights; or is she just using Jordan Peterson's fame to parade her vanity, gain social status, and launch her "brand"?
