I'm still angry that Jordan Peterson gets so much shit thrown up on YT. As a Canadian, I'd just like to say we prefer being associated with Beiber.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 21 points 9 months ago

Beiber gained some maturity. Those other two, not so much. I feel your pain.

Don't worry. After watching Trailer Park Boys, all Canadians are like this. Prove me wrong! /s

It's just water under the fridge.

I will forever associate Canadaland with Celine Dion. That’s not bad.

Out of every "Conservative influencer" Peterson is the least unpalatable.

You mean mr I'm-addicted-to-Benzos-and-to-detox-I-let-russians-put-me-in-a-month-long-coma-resulting-in-brain-damage?

Yeah? I mean, I don't agree with him on most things, but for all you can criticize him for, why that?

Drug dependence doesn't make someone inherently a bad person, nor does being Russian.

Imma catch hate here, but I'm a woman, and I like the guy. I watch some of his stuff, though I don't dip into his lectures on religion. Just not for me.

you're at the narrow end of the wedge right now. "put your shoulders back when you walk", "clean your room", "don't lie", all good advice that can be had anywhere. it's just that the further into it you get, the more you arrive at his core philosophy, which is that there is a natural hierarchy to all human relationships and that cishet white men should be on the top of it because they're the only people capable of bringing and maintaining order in the face of the "chaos dragon" of femininity, and that the history of violent western european dominance over much of the world is to be taken as prima facie evidence that violent western european dominance of the world is an ideal to be asserted wherever possible. it's repackaged "white man's burden" stuff mixed with a bunch of badly misinterpreted freud.

Ahh! So it’s safe to assume that you’re also a satanistic Christian?

- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
