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

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Ew. We don't want him.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

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

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Fooking hilarious...

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (2 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.

"the free state of Florida"? Is this like a secessionist thing?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think he's saying that it's free compared to Canada? Not sure, the dude is a drug addict. Also, I can't wait to see how he likes Florida compared to Canada's social services. It's going to be fun.

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

[–] PillowD@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

A typical JP argument

Me: Grass is green.

Jordan Peterson: Define green.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Sometimes grass-colored.

[–] kralk@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 15 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cool, now ICE him the fuck out into El Salvador or something

I would pay to see the, but he's probably the wrong colour

[–] ThraawnSolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Nah don't come here you piece of shit.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 9 points 1 week 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 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 5 points 1 week 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.

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

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

[–] Jaximus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] Jaximus@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

They're not sending their best.

[–] czer0_@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How much were the import tariffs?

[–] Chef@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

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

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Canada actually had to pay us more to take him. Higher percentage of a negative number n all that.

[–] Poop@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Byyyyyeeeeeee, please stay gone!

[–] rekabis@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

We don't want him, either.

[–] aeroplayne@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] aeroplayne@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If your country attracts every cunt on Earth, maybe it's not the worlds fault and your country is actually a cuntry.

An awful person, a fraud psychologist and a genocidal fascist
