[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe, and this is just an idea, stop being so attractive to fascist rejects?

They're like cockroaches, once a breeding colony gets going it's impossible without fire.

Maybe don't make your country so appealing to fascists?

Tell your president elect to stop joking about invading us and then maybe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I would if I thought he was joking, but historically speaking fascists start their conquests with neighbors of similar culture so...

When Canada sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.

On the upside, Trump is actually right for once when he says "They're not sending their best".

Deport the dirty violent immigrant!

How much of this is to attempt to keep his license?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He decided to move to a country that wasn't at risk, but actually was, a totalitarian hellhole.

His dreams have come true.

Now, he, Rogan, and Muskypoo can have all the sleepovers they want.

Damn immigrants....

As someone who used to listen to his podcasts and actually enjoyed them I got to say.

I never agreed with everything he said, but I enjoyed how he presented the ideas and talked about them (he was a lecturer after all)

But then he went off the deep end, imo it happened to Chappell too. I’m guessing it’s because he got so much criticism from a very loud minority that he basically doubled down on the opposite as much as he could.

At that time, I stopped enjoying his stuff, why? Cause it was less about, let’s talk about this topic and explore a unique (and very possibly wrong) perspective; to more like, they are all against me and the world is insane and only people who agree with me are sane.

I don’t think it’s out of malice, I think it’s because of polarization but imo if he was smart enough he would know better.

There are many lecturers, profs out there talking expressively about various topics that they're actually qualified in.

I think a better explanation might be that he's always had core beliefs that lead him towards these conclusions, but didn't have the freedom to express them when he didn't have the clout to balance the backlash. Recall his fame started with his profound opposition to respecting alternative pronouns. I've heard him say disproven stuff that dovetails with his worldview in his psychology class with utmost confidence, prior to him getting on anyone's radar. If he went the deep end as a result of the criticism, that wouldn't explain his earlier problematic positions.

Bye Felicia. You will not be missed.

Stop sending your rejects here.

I'm afraid that the Pied Piper of American stupidity has summoned the rats, and Jordan Peterson is obsessed with rats (heavily edited supercut).

You Canadian bastards

[–] Godric 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought you Canucks were supposed to be nice, you assholes!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

They gave you Keanu you can take Peterson as part of that deal.

Just like how we (UK) gave you Jon Oliver, but threw in Piers Morgan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like how you slipped James Corden in there as well, the U.S got fucked in that deal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We gave you that other good and liked late night host. Forget his name now mind, but still I think we might owe you someone else as Corden is bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Buh-bye bucko.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

He should take conrad black with him...
