First the election and now this, Canada can't stop winning

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 177 points 3 days ago (2 children)

dammit, Canada! stop throwing your trash over the border. cant you see we are already full?!

Canada didn’t kick him out, he left willingly like a fly attracted to shit.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Yep he moved to Florida

Canadian Psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson has made it official, announcing on his daughter’s podcast that he has moved to the free state of Florida.

Good fucking riddance! Don't come back. You're not welcome.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 75 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Look on the bright side, that means he's one step closer to dying in a Salvadoran labor camp

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He’s too rich, white, and willing to promote their agenda to be sent to an El Salvador prison camp.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Give it time. Purging their own quickly becomes a priority.

If fascism in the us manages to fester into its next form I can easily see this scenario playing out. Jordan is just enough of an ideologue to ruffle the feathers of the wrong idiot with power.

[–] Photuris@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Ironic, since he’s long been obsessed with the dangers of falling into the tyranny of left-wing authoritarianism.

So he willingly runs into the arms of right-wing authoritarianism.

At the end of the day, authoritarianism all looks fairly alike in practice. So he may get to experience a taste what he’s long feared (just the Nazi variety, not the Communist variety). So it’s almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, attracting what you most fear and all that.

Look, maybe Canada has warts. Maybe I don’t like the idea of being forced to use pronouns or whatever, I dunno. But that “woke” stuff is far better than the darkness that’s brewing here in the US, especially here in the South. People are embracing Fascism, full-throated, here. I want out. I’d happily trade places with Dr. Peterson and move my family to Canada.

I wish you well, stay safe and remember that their entire existence revolves around cruelty and cruelty has a limit.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 12 points 3 days ago

People friendly with the regime are in no way safe from being punished by the regime. That's exactly the outcome of tearing down due process.

This type of person thinks it will be fine because they didn't do anything wrong, even when they're watching people who didn't do anything wrong suffer or die. It comes from growing up in an environment that has a lot of justice and fairness, and so you think it's built into the world somehow, like gravity. It isn't.

[–] PillowD@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

A typical JP argument

Me: Grass is green.

Jordan Peterson: Define green.

[–] kralk@lemm.ee 11 points 3 days ago

I read the first two pages of the communist manifesto and it didn't mention grass, therefore Marxism is a failed doctrine

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

basically a pseudointellectual for dumb people like magats thinking they are saying profound things.

I hope none of his neighbours report a suspicious immigrant to ICE.

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 53 points 3 days ago

They're not sending their best.

[–] ThraawnSolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago

Nah don't come here you piece of shit.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 40 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Germany, Australia, South Africa, and now Canada? Can we not be the world's foremost collector of shitheads, please?

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think that depends on us stopping being such a sweet place for shitheads to do their thing.

Ew. We don't want him.

[–] NotAGamer@lemmy.org 27 points 3 days ago

As a Canadian, I say "good riddance". The yokels can keep the piece of shit.

[–] rekabis@programming.dev 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, thank god, that snake-oil salesman is finally gone.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We don't want him, either.

[–] aeroplayne@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly we have enough of these fucks already and could do without another.

[–] aeroplayne@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Here's a message from the rest of the world: we don't care and we're sick of America's b.s. - we have your country a pass too many times. Too numerous to count.

I truly hope the worst for most Americans in the United States at this point and could care less about the pain inflicted on them as a result of their government.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

However strongly you feel that way - triple it, and you might be getting close to my sentiments.

[–] czer0_@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How much were the import tariffs?

[–] Chef@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Internationally shipping pieces of shit only costs 10% in tariffs.

It's okay, on the whole he's not really going to make things any worse over here, rather that you'd all be rid of him. Maybe he'll even get burned up in this dumpster fire....

good riddance! sorry you have to deal with our trash, America.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago

An awful person, a fraud psychologist and a genocidal fascist

[–] softcat@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If only he'd relinquish his citizenship. He doesn't deserve to be here.

The sadness of all canadians makes me literally weep actual tears right now.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

alot of right wingers seemed to have emigrated to the us from canada, and are the sole cause of right wing problems in the us.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Send him to El Salvador

Ted Cruz, David Frum, Gavin McIness, Lauren Southern, and now Toronto benzoman. Canada did not send their best.

This honestly makes me a little conflicted about the government black-bagging immigrants off the street.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Good riddance
