Though there are probably a lot of 14 year-olds with more common sense and curiosity than some of the folk here, that is pretty nuts. I don't even think you need to be a member of the Party to cast a vote.

It was a deranged rant, written by a literal homeless guy who posts from his public library. I don't think any of us are surprised you "couldn't agree more". 🤡

Your response is equally broad. Positive results? Our mortality outcomes were exceptionally good compared to places like the USA, but they didn't come without cost. Do we pretend the Emergency Act never happened? Do we ignore that Trudeau was torpedoing public finances long before COVID ever reared its head, and the economic difficulties we face now are exacerbated by his poor judgment and stewardship? His will be a legacy of failure, cynicism and poor judgement.

There was a time when common sense was a thing, and people in positions of authority could exercise it without having to deal with millions of dollars in litigation over it. Kayla Lemieux should have been shown the door the first day he showed up to school like that. When more time is spent agonizing over his rights to gender expression than the farce he made out of his classroom and that school, something is wrong. This is a really good example of what rallies the Trumpers etc. They aren't afraid to lay into it, and that takes at least some courage.

There's a lot wrong with them, and a lot good with them. The technology is maturing and when it's cost-effective to hook them up with the grid and not going to be disruptive to communities, it's a no-brainer. The problem is that so much money got flushed down through schemes with immature tech, total incompetence and even outright corruption that now there's not much patience for spending there. Ontario wants nothing to do with it now thanks to Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne. We spent something like $13B 10+ years ago on solar and wind handouts and now that generates a whopping 3-4% of our energy mix, as we scramble to scale our nuclear capacity back up to make up for the debacle. The other matter is how intrusive and disruptive they are. We sold our cottage back in 2013 because the UAW decided to build a giant, pointless wind-turbine on their union vacation complex less than half a mile from us (and right above the beach). There was no consultation with the community. They just went ahead and did it.

You would have a parrot. Nobody else wants to talk to you. 🤡

Speaking in a very general manner, about something very specific. Right... The only thing you're right about is that he was speaking to laypersons, but even that's generous. Gullible rubes is a better term. As for what was wrong, I already explained that. Who's upset here? I'm not the one whose guru is being clowned on. No, I claimed I supported him back in 2017/2018, and more specifically what he was saying about free speech after the Lyndsey Shephard controversy at my Alma Mater. Where are you going with this? Did you figure there was some contradiction here? 😑

What part? What he actually said is even dumber. Here's the transcript, when he's bullshitting about seratonin: "We diverged from lobsters 350-600 million years go, and it's the same circuit" (which is retarded) "it's absolutely unbelievable and it shows you how deep inside you how basic primordial that circuit is in you" He argues that lobster neurochemistry is the same as human (at least when it comes to serotonin), which is absurd considering the former is an insect-brained crustacean with 1/1,000,000th the number of neurons that a human brain has, with neurochemical complexity differences to match. Serotonin affects both organisms completely differently, with it predictably promoting aggression in lobsters, where in humans it has all sorts of varied and complex interactions and usually does the opposite. Peterson probably knows this, but doesn't care, because he also knows that the gullible rubes that follow him are never going to scrutinize or question him. He's validating their feelings, and that's all that matters. If he was just talking about how hierarchies exist in the natural world, and how baser instincts are natural parts of the human experience, I suspect most people would agree with him. The lobster fantasy is utterly absurd however, and it's only one of the more famous examples of this once-respected academic torching his own credibility.

That's how it is in lobster hierarchies, and we share common ancestry 300 million years ago (which is wrong, but these sorts of details don't matter when you're talking nonsense authoritatively to a gullible audience and telling them what they want to hear.) It's just the natural way of things. 🫠

No, what's clear is that your perception and understanding of him is like Build-a-Bear. You pick and choose the parts that you want to include, and you discard/ignore all the parts that make him into the clown he really is. Your "listening" to Jordan Peterson no doubt amounts to watching Youtube clips of him "DESTROYING/OWNING LIB", and blissfully ignore all of the absurd, batshit nonsense he spouts that remove any credibility he might otherwise have have. Go watch a video of him talking about Ukraine, and how it's all NATO's fault. Then come back here and try to reconcile that with how you've argued against those points on this forum. I'll wait. 🙃

You didn't ask me what I didn't agree with. You projected your own conclusions on why I didn't like him. Uh, yes - almost everything. Jordan Peterson is just an lolcow now, to be milked for laughs while he rants hysterical nonsense to gullible, uninformed people who he in turn milks for cash and attention. Whether it's promoting Kremlin propaganda points, or giving his absurdly uninformed theories of evolution, he's tailoring his content for his audience, and wrapping it in a pseudo-intellectual package. He's just a shitty lifestyle brand now - a dumb person's intellectual.

No, I agreed with what he was saying back in 2017/2018, specifically about free speech and the culture of suppression and political correctness being cultivated in universities. What at one point appeared to be a very articulate, principled stance against censorship and group-think morphed into a rage-farming clown show that stands for nothing but notoriety. Jordan Peterson is just another cringe edgelord now.

This is true, and in the early days of Jordan Peterson's fame I supported him and thought he was a pretty smart dude, bravely speaking out against the thought-police at universities etc. Since then, he's become a charlatan and a circus act - just a loud grievance peddler cashing out on angst and making notoriety and attention the goal, rather than the consequence of what he says.

Why would I? That wasn't your question. 🙃

No, not at all, just the ones that listen to what he's saying and don't realize how full of shit he is. 🙃 A large portion of the folks voting Conservative in the next election will be doing so in spite of Poilievre, not because of him. They'll be voting against the turd-burglar.

I will vote Conservative. Trudeau is a a disaster and Jagmeet was the worthless loser who enabled him for the last 9 years. I can't stand Pierre Poilievre and think he's full of shit and playing to the dumbest and most ignorant parts of the electorate, but that's still going to be better than Trudeau and the Liberals who've followed him. I'll take a chance on a angry clown rather than continuing the guaranteed disaster we've lived through over the last half decade and more.

I like Carney and have a lot of respect for him. If he joins Trudeau's government I will lose all respect for him. Trudeau's management of Canada's finances are the worst that Canada's ever seen, and it's not even close. It cannot be understated how bad of a job he's done here, and attaching your name to that would be a sign of poor political judgement and a lack of respect for the average voter's intelligence.

No, that's just your cope - the flimsy mirage you put up to convince yourself that your lack of employment/housing/internet is a noble sacrifice you've made for your "good fight". You sacrificed nothing. You just don't have stuff and LARP that it was a choice. Since your posts are nothing but boring conspiracy word-salad and copy-pasted junk, and because I suspect you've some actual mental health issues, it's best to put you on ignore and never think about you again. Have a life.

I'm responding to this days later, but I think you're prevaricating. On one hand you're right. People should focus on what's important. On the other hand, we have an obvious case of people doing exactly the opposite, going nuclear on a nothing-burger and bringing government institutions to bear against people who aren't doing what they want them to. In a normal, reasonable world, the worst that should happen here is that folks view the Township of Emo as backward, old-fashioned, or perhaps a bit ignorant. Maybe if the Township didn't like the negative attention, they'd vote the Mayor out, or maybe they'd quietly appreciate it. It's up to them. Instead, now we are living through the batshit madness of the CHRC laying the hammer down and imposing fines on people for not flying a rainbow flag. If anyone is struggling to understand how a turd like Trump gets elected (a second time no less), you need look no further than cases like this.

Someone who can’t afford internet and posts from the public library in a trenchcoat or similar attire.

Beaverton is telling a joke. Fux is being one. 🙄

A lot fewer now because most people can afford internet and don't need to go to the public library for it... Now, if you want to take your kid there or something, you're met with unemployed weirdos who can barely dress themselves ranting into a microphone at strangers...

This is why nobody wants to go to the public library anymore.

They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets....of the people who live there.
