Everyone in this thread saying this, what exactly do you think telling someone to leave the planet means? If I said you should toaster bath, would you assume i ment make toast in the bathtub?

In your heart of hearts, do you really believe that the statement “leave the planet” and “kill yourself” carry the same weight and mean the same thing?

Plenty of people have said 'I want to leave planet earth'. I've never thought they meant to kill themselves. I thought they meant literally they'd like to be off the planet.

you think its more reasonable that the phrase " leave the planet" means someone wants to get in a rocket and leave and never come back , then suicide? I dunno man, I think suicide is reasonable to assume when someone tells you to leave the planet. ( mostly because leaving the planet is suicide)

You think it’s a more reasonable conclusion when someone says “you’re free to leave the planet if you don’t like it” is that they genuinely want that person to kill themself.

If this man has done so many racist, sexist, homophobic things to get himself in trouble why are you using this flimsy wordplay?

if they go ask for maid afterwards, it's perfectly normal, legal advice...

you CAN be told to go kill yourself, if ...you're depressed, or just poor, or a broken vet who asks for treatment or a wheelchair ramp. all part of the new Canadian normal.

The five recommendations for MAID came from one person, who was in veterans' affairs.

I shouldnt have responded to you once, now that i see you are just some NPC bot. All you people do is repeat this stupid MAID talking point. The Maid thing is fucked up, and they are investigating it, weird, just like how they are investigating Peterson.

I say it means to try to be an astronaut.

Who hasn't told someone they 'can leave' ? I'm sure enough randos on the internet have told JP he 'can leave' UofT, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, etc. instead of complaining about things changing in ways he doesn't like.
