Thus raising the average IQ of both countries.

Whole USA need a burn ward right now, too bad no one there can afford one

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

(I'm in the USA, born and raised.)

The seldom seen "suicide by self immolation".....is what I'd say if there hadn't been so many people literally setting themselves ablaze this past year.

Hope you're ok down there, be safe.

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’m old, straight, white, cis, and have money. Other than my great shame at what my country has become, I’ll be just fine.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Well, then, hopefully you're doing what you can for those that they'll come for before they come for you.

Edit: FFS, that sounds so soapboxy finger pointy. I wasn't trying for a holier than thou sort of...vibe

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Dammit. That’s mean! I can’t argue with it, but I’m sad.

To shred you say?

Is that an ad for Canada or what?

Canada: now Peterson-free!

[–] gianni@lemmy.ca 34 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Dropping this article (The Intellectual we Deserve) here as I do whenever I come across a Jordan Peterson post. The article is long but it is an incredibly thoughtful and well researched breakdown of Jordan Peterson, his tactics, and his following. I found it very insightful.

[–] modeler@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

That is indeed a really well written article

I haven’t read the article yet but before I do, my guess is:

He is going to blame censorship or something like that.

He is actually doing it cause he is rich now and wants to be in a tax haven country.

Edit:

Yep, I was right:

“The issue with the College of Psychologists is very annoying, to say the least, and the new legislation that the Liberals are attempting to push through, Bill C-63, we’d all be living in a totalitarian hellhole if it passes,” he told his daughter.

“The tax situation is out of hand. The government in Canada at the federal level is incompetent beyond belief, and it’s become uncomfortable for me in my neighbourhood in Toronto,” he added.

Says the man who has been freely expressing his ideas for 6 years and making lots of money doing so, he just now wants to keep as much of it.

> Wants to avoid 'totalitarian hellhole'

> Moves to Florida

[–] tywarth@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

He blasted Canada's immigration policy, then became an immigrant.

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 22 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Til this doofus is canadian.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You may keep him. Please, I insist.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

May the gators and meth consume him

Good riddance to bad brain damage.

Thank Christ for that!

I've never heard a more resounding commendation for the woke ideology

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago

His drug connections just got better, not great for a recovering addict.

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is the U.S. just Canada's dumping ground?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Actually yes. And we're not sorry.

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Honestly fair. May as well keep one of the countries decent, and it sure as shit ain't gonna be the U.S.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 11 points 7 months ago

It must've been hard escaping the Saskatchewinian gulag that the CCP (Canadian Communist Party) locked him up in for questioning the woke, trans agenda.

Looking forward to his Yeonmi Park arc

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago

Aaahh, nooo.... So anyways..

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago
[–] tywarth@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I thought he hated immigrants?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

When he talks about immigrants he means people who aren't white.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Sorry I can't hear you.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 7 points 7 months ago

Why would he move to Florida? It's constantly getting fucked by hurricanes. And once Trump defunds NOAA, nobody will be able to see them coming accurately.

...Perhaps Trump will run everything out of mar a lago until a big storm wrecks it all.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Take him backkkkkkkkk!!!!!

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago

No thanks, and you can also keep Ted Cruz.

Try not to cry when the door hits your bony ass on the way out

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I can't hear you over the sound of my free health care.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

He's a Floridaman now. He'll feel right at home in the land of self righteous douchebags.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago
[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Good riddance to snake-oil bullshit.

I mean, he hits some problems on the head. But his solutions…
