Good lord! This used to be unthinkable.

This was long predicted by Thomas Szasz.

He argued that historically “mental illness” was a cultural artifact (except in the cases of physical brain injury).

Short version—”Mental illness” is whatever the thugs in charge say it is.

They’re tangling with the wrong guy.

It still is for most people.

It sounds like absolute satire.
Report directly for re-education. Schnell!

This is war, it has been for a very long time now...one side is fighting, the other is trying to find their asses with both hands and not succeeding.

The new paradigm is here.

Get the hell out of Canada before it goes totally woketard-Nazi!!!

[I want the USA back]

The canadian thought police are trying to shut him down.

[FreedomPoster]

I see you have the right attitude about this.

[Red Badger]

It’s always been thinkable.

George Orwell told us.................

“Good lord! This used to be unthinkable”.

This seems to fit the bill for implementing Social Credit Scores in Canada.

Canadians have achieved what the progressive riff raff is searching for

There is but one way to end the progressive cancer destroying America

[glennaro]

Clearly a virtual “re-education camp”.

[crazycat]

He is not that strong, although he is basically right, he thinks a great deal and always considers other opinions.....

People should make their support known, just as Musk already has.

Oy vey! I just noticed my typing error in headline. Took me a few minutes. Not good for me.

Are they going to put a Rat cage around his face?

Peterson had just posted a podcast describing “gender transitioning” with puberty blockers on minors as malpractice. His guest was an 18 year old young woman who was “de-transitioning”. I couldn’t even listen to much, too disturbing.

This strikes me as the bright line that Peterson crossed. God Bless Him!

To clarify: it's been decided: I either submit to social media communication retraining or face a disciplinary hearing and possible suspension of my clinical license and the right to represent myself as a psychologist @elonmusk @CPOntario https://t.co/qmsje8flyN

In case you ever wonder why the left chirps a lot about the need for people to be licensed for everything.

Professional organizations are increasingly nothing more than instruments for government control over various professions. The people running them are very often politicized scum who can’t wait to laud the next leftist fad that comes down the pike. I recommend either steering clear of them or forming separate ones.

The canadian thought police are trying to shut him down.

The answer is to give the professional organization the middle finger. If that means he's no longer legally able to represent himself as a head shrinker, then he should wear that as a badge of honor.
