Thus raising the average IQ of both countries.
Whole USA need a burn ward right now, too bad no one there can afford one
(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.
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.
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
Dammit. That’s mean! I can’t argue with it, but I’m sad.
OK, one immigrant is a drug addict who doesn't work
Yeah but I'm sure there are some ways he's not integrating into Florida culture
He's already been to rehab a bunch and loves to spew Christian MAGA nonsense -- he'll fit in with all of the other NY snowbirds
"Shotgun this beer brah"
"You know crabs hate beer because... [insert book length rant about whatever here]"
I've been reading too much storm light archives, I saw you say crabs and thought of Roshar and not of a lunatic afraid of vegetables
To shred you say?
Is that an ad for Canada or what?
Canada: now Peterson-free!
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.
That is indeed a really well written article
If you do want an incredibly long look into JP: https://youtu.be/hSNWkRw53Jo?si=ZwAR7XmsupU3_T_3
It's also very Shody
Thank you for this article!
Of course, I’m glad you enjoyed it (if that’s even the right word to use).
I was particularly horrified with the example that Peterson himself gives where he incessantly pokes the child while the child is scared/crying. A trained and certified psychologist no less!
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:
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
The funny thing is, he's gonna claim censorship, but Poilievre wants to ban porn and implement digital IDs. North America is fucked for at least the next 4 years.
He blasted Canada's immigration policy, then became an immigrant.
It raises the IQ of both countries.

Til this doofus is canadian.
You may keep him. Please, I insist.
May the gators and meth consume him
Amen
This isn't the thoughts and prayers people normally refer to, but I can get behind it.
I guess you’ve never actually listened to him speak, eh?
Why he doing us Americans dirty like that?😭
It's your turn!
Good riddance to bad brain damage.
Thank Christ for that!
His drug connections just got better, not great for a recovering addict.
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
Is the U.S. just Canada's dumping ground?
Actually yes. And we're not sorry.
Honestly fair. May as well keep one of the countries decent, and it sure as shit ain't gonna be the U.S.
Bye!
Aaahh, nooo.... So anyways..
Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
win.
Great_!!_
Take him back
Sorry I can't hear you.
I thought he hated immigrants?
When he talks about immigrants he means people who aren't white.
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.
Take him backkkkkkkkk!!!!!
No thanks, and you can also keep Ted Cruz.
No.
Hehe
Try not to cry when the door hits your bony ass on the way out
Take him back.
He's a Floridaman now. He'll feel right at home in the land of self righteous douchebags.
I can't hear you over the sound of my free health care.
whoa
Good riddance to snake-oil bullshit.
I mean, he hits some problems on the head. But his solutions…
kinda sad the woke ideologues where right about him.
how does "clean your room" and "compelled speech is a bad idea" turn into "Lets move to Trump's America"?
At least we still have Rogan ...
Because "clean your room" was never actually about the benefits of cleaning your room. It was a transparent attempt to make people not look at systemic problems with society.
The irony, of course, being that his personal life is a total fucking mess, and yet he doesn't listen to his own lesson and focus on himself, he spends enormous amounts of effort telling other people not to worry about systemic problems.
It’s actually an argument about the complexity of the systematic problems with society.
Basically, if the systematic problems of society are more complex than the mess in your room. Therefore if you don’t have the energy, precision, care, and attention to clean your room, whatever model of society you’re using to judge it is woefully inadequate to actually describe or understand the problem and you need to recognize you’re about to fuck up in a major way by shadow boxing against the ultra-simplified version of the problem you keep in your head.
It’s kind of like saying “Oh you want to eat a bowling ball? Here eat this golf ball first. Don’t want to eat the golf ball? Too big to swallow? Great, now rethink your plan of eating that bowling ball, which is far bigger than the golf ball.”
No, I understand that that's the angle his supporters would use to justify the take. The problem is it's just bs.
Improving systems just doesn't have anything to do with one's personal life. I was going to give examples, but honestly it's just such utter nonsense I didn't know where to start. It would be like trying to explain to someone who didn't agree the sky is blue.
The actual effect of Peterson's nonsense is to discourage people from advocating for greater systemic change. Which shouldn't be surprising from someone as extremely socially regressive as Peterson.
