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

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 month ago (1 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.

isnt that the daughter that peterson allowed tate to have "sex" with.

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

I can't find that part, but they are Russian connected. Who isn't on the far right?

In December 2019, the Petersons held an emergency family meeting. Mikhaila had a plan. Her husband, Andrey Korikov, a Russian-born business consultant, had found a clinic in Russia that would perform an “ultra-rapid” detox. Peterson’s doctors vehemently advised against it—removing the benzodiazepines from Peterson’s system so quickly could kill him, and Russian health care is far less advanced than North American medicine (the country regularly finishes in the lowest third of global health rankings). Feeling that they’d exhausted all other options, however, the family made the difficult choice to send Peterson to Moscow.

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

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.

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 53 points 1 month ago

They're not sending their best.

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

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

That's why they call them dreams, unfortunately.

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....

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

[–] PillowD@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

A typical JP argument

Me: Grass is green.

Jordan Peterson: Define green.

[–] kralk@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

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

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

We don't want him, either.

Send him to El Salvador

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month 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.

[–] ThraawnSolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

Nah don't come here you piece of shit.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

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

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

Can we remove his citizenship and deny him entry ever again from our great country? Fuck this guy. Glad he’s gone.

Maybe he can finally go kiss Dons diaper rash while bending the knee.

Bye Felicia!
