Eh. JP can think as he likes; i don't need to be a middle easterner to think Gadaffi was a tool. I dont need a say to voice a (considered) opinion on something that seems obviously wrong to me; ditto JP.

So he's mass market; he's reaching the lowest common denominator NPCs. (You) don't need his substantiated commonsense; it looks like kinderschool. Ahistorical /tv/ and /v/ NPCs who can't even begin to pseud need kinderschool. These are the same people that made DBrown and RGreene hit Bestseller tier. Why are you surprised and angry?

I agree with (You) on everything but this. Unfortunately, Canada is deeply affected by American politics. Apart from obvious trade and foreign affairs issues, we are affected by your economy due to our proximity and interdependence, and even on the cultural front we are affected. As much as I'd love to leave you mongrels to bark at each other, we can't.

In the sense that we can't vote for senators or the president. Otherwise, there's nothing to prevent Canadians from voicing their opinions about American political affairs. And as I've said, Amerimutts affect us - maybe not so much in the case of the supreme court - so we definitely need to at the very least stay informed about what you people are doing.

Mainly on the cultural front, since you have no culture whatever. There is no Canadian Dickens or Hawthorne. You're a sahara of the beaux arts.

That's funny, coming from a mutt. Hollywood isn't culture either. Anyhow, since 75% of our exports are to the U.S, and a similar amount for imports, I'd say that the economic front is more important than the shitty superhero films you consider culture.
> our judicial system has no impact on Canada
I beg to differ: https://www.loc.gov/law/help/domestic-judgment/canada.php
Here's a highlight:
> the Supreme Court of Canada’s use of foreign law may still be fairly impressive in a comparative context. An analysis of the reserved decisions issued by the Supreme Court of Canada since 2000 shows that “[o]ne in every five … uses American citations, and two-thirds of those (or one in seven) involve the use of one or more citations to the [United States Supreme Court].”

his main academic achievement, "maps of meaning" is a rambling incoherent mess. i think his 12 rules book is stupid but at least it has a clear structure and an active editor. on the other hand his academic theories are not taken seriously by anyone in his field, and would have (rightfully) languished in obscurity if he hadn't became a youtube pundit.

You can’t manipulate anyone. You can only manipulate someone if they agree to it someway before hand. If you go into something with the idea you won’t be influenced, chances are you will not be influenced at all. It is up to us to form and change our characters and personalities at will.
