Greetings from the non-civilised world.
I canât believe people once thought this dipstick was intelligent.

Oh come on. You donât become a university professor by having a low IQ. It just doesnât happen. It gets really tiresome seeing people deride those who donât agree with them as merely insufferably stupid.
Whatâs wrong with just presenting a rational argument against his position? Surely you have one?
JP is getting a bit irritating these days - he was a lot more fun when he just talked, without worrying about âprecisionâ too much - but his depiction of the Canadian Communist Party isnât too far off the mark, and how far it has dragged the county from a historically well-respected position. Heâs also right that certain members of the Canadian public are in a state of denial because itâs too frightening to accept reality.
Heâs just incorrigibly eurocentred. I doubt heâs even thought a minute about the 1.6 billion of us here in East Asiaâthose of us in âthe non-civilised world.â

It happens.
It was given, you just didnât understand it.
Iâve met one or two who ⌠lacked some life skills. Unintelligent? No, never met one. I donât see how anyone watch JPâs videos and characterize him as âunintelligentâ. Thatâs a really lazy argument.
Where?
I didnât see Mike make any argument at all. How do you fit an argument into two sentences?
I believe you have never met a professor you felt was unintelligent. Iâve spent most of my life in universities, most of that working.
Likely we have different measures for what is considered an intelligent person
It takes some intelligence 
Well done. Thatâs probably the most oblique way of calling someone stupid that Iâve ever seen on forumosa.
Iâm referring to the technical definition of g. I will clarify: Iâve never met a university professor who was not above the 95th percentile for g, on an (obviously) superficial assessment. Many of them had a limited range of skills - they would not test above average on components of IQ outside of their skill set - but that doesnât make them âdipsticksâ.
A pretty good proxy for g is reaction time. I would suggest that JPs ability to respond quickly and coherently to questioning is a marker of high(er) intelligence.
As for Mikeâs âargumentâ, Iâm pretty sure heâs smart enough to realise that it doesnât invalidate the whole presentation, but he doesnât care. The âvirtuallyâ in the sentence implies that outliers may exist. You may also make the inference that countries that retain mask mandates are in danger of losing their âcivilizedâ badge. Take your pick.
Another sign of intelligence is being able to see beyond only two choices. I think most people are neither
Tin Pot Trudy
The tyranny of Justin Trudeau has finally been exposed - and by two Brits, no less
A lawsuit has shown Canadaâs travel vaccine mandate had little to do with science and everything to do with politics
Let us know how the lawsuit goes.

As it happens, the bureaucrat in charge of crafting one of the worldâs âstrongest vaccination mandates in the worldâ, according to the bureaucrat herself and Trudeau, has an undergraduate degree in English literature and self-evidently didnât have the scientific knowledge to take a call
Tell it to the judge.

Christ, English-lit diktats 
The tale of Trudeauâs vaccine mandates has ramifications far outside Canada. The world over, governments have invoked draconian powers, heretofore only used in wartime, to control and regulate their people and curtain fundamental individual liberties, such as the right to gather or the right to mobility. Everywhere, people are told by their governments, much as Trudeau told Canadians, weâre so sorry, we hate to restrict your freedoms, but weâre just following the science and the evidence. We know, in the case of Canadaâs travel mandate, that this is simply false. In the Canadian case, Trudeauâs ministers have made it clear that the suspended mandates could come back, as, indeed, could Covid-based restrictions the world over.
âThe worst thing that we can do is actually make fun of it. It validates their opinion that when theyâre mocked, they really know the truth. Calling them crazy, or using other derogatory terms towards them makes them feel validated that they are on the right path,â said Celestini, who points out Diduloâs reach has grown outside of Canada.
Theyâre a symptom of the underlying problem. If Turdeau wasnât a complete and total clown, fringe elements wouldnât look sane in comparison.
Lol, this woman looks sane to you?
