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

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 17 points 10 months 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.

he was formally on benzodiazapenes, he got addicted, then he decided he would go to russia to get unsanction care to deal with his withdrawals, and the coma caused brain damage.

As I (if I) understand it he is rich so health care is not an issue for him

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months 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 10 months 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.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 12 points 10 months 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.

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 40 points 10 months ago (5 children)

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

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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 10 months ago (3 children)

A typical JP argument

Me: Grass is green.

Jordan Peterson: Define green.

[–] kralk@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months 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.

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We don't want him, either.

Send him to El Salvador

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Nah don't come here you piece of shit.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago

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

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ted Cruz, David Frum, Gavin McIness, Lauren Southern, and now Toronto benzoman. Canada did not send their best.

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

We're not trying to. We're sending you people who will fit in well.
