Thus raising the average IQ of both countries.

Whole USA need a burn ward right now, too bad no one there can afford one

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

(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.

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah but I'm sure there are some ways he's not integrating into Florida culture

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

Is that an ad for Canada or what?

Canada: now Peterson-free!

[–] gianni@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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.

[–] modeler@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

That is indeed a really well written article

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:

β€œThe issue with the College of Psychologists is very annoying, to say the least, and the new legislation that the Liberals are attempting to push through,Β Bill C-63, we’d all be living in a totalitarian hellhole if it passes,” he told his daughter.

β€œThe tax situation is out of hand. The government in Canada at the federal level is incompetent beyond belief, and it’s become uncomfortable for me in my neighbourhood in Toronto,” he added.

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

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Why he doing us Americans dirty like that?😭

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

It's your turn!

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

Good riddance to bad brain damage.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

Thank Christ for that!

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've never heard a more resounding commendation for the woke ideology

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

His drug connections just got better, not great for a recovering addict.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is the U.S. just Canada's dumping ground?

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

Actually yes. And we're not sorry.

Aaahh, nooo.... So anyways..

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

I thought he hated immigrants?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

When he talks about immigrants he means people who aren't white.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago

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.

Try not to cry when the door hits your bony ass on the way out

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Take him backkkkkkkkk!!!!!

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

No thanks, and you can also keep Ted Cruz.

He's a Floridaman now. He'll feel right at home in the land of self righteous douchebags.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I can't hear you over the sound of my free health care.
