Everyone deserves some pity. If you don't think so then you really aren't a good person either.

everyone deserves some pity at some point, yes

Peterson has used his up, and he no longer deserves any

I think he should be treated the way he treated others. Seems fair to me.

This is why I was glad that Kirk was the victim of the political violence he championed rather than some innocent bystander.

When has he ever shown a single bit of empathy or remorse?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

When it impacts him personally. Like every conservative.

It's the exception that proves the rule so there are a couple people who should remain without pity but Peterson isn't the one in my book.

Some people deserve nothing but justice. Also, pity is patronising. If that makes you think I'm not a good person, you can add your name to the long list of people who can bite my crank. Some people are incurable wrong 'uns. It's a shame the world is this way, but that's how it is.

I don't know much about Peterson's current state, so I won't say if he's one of the write-offs.
