Can you imagine the fury of the Left if black folks, in black ghettos, conducted mass protests against the Democrat Party? They would be FURIOUS. They would scream, WE, not YOU, WE ARE THE BLACKS. WE KNOW WHAT IS BEST.
Likewise, it is no doubt particularly galling for the Left in Canada that the people resisting their patent and indefensible tyranny are working class, beer drinking Joes and Janes.
I personally think a comparison with the heroic Polish Solidarity movement is in order. Or, in this country, perhaps we should start calling the Left Tories. After all, they respond to reasonable protests in response to genuine grievances with oppression, violence, and by calling people asking reasonable questions traitors.
If it was worth conducting a Revolution based on the principle “No Taxation without Representation”, how much more “No arbitrary laws or taxation without honest elections?”
And as I have said often guns won’t get us out of this. The tech our military has, if used against us, would not allow an armed rebellion to last long, and obviously the people running Biden as a more or less literal animatronic puppet would LOVE to be able to point to such violence as evidence of the necessity of an authoritarian response. They want tyranny. They want fascism. But they need some sort of threat to get people stupid, supine and afraid enough to accept it long enough for the prison door to be closed, and the shackles locked. Shots fired in our streets would easily do that. Look at the mileage they got out of Jan. 6th, where the only REAL violence was committed by the police, and which went uninvestigated, much less punished.
No, peaceful, principled, vocal protests scare the living shit out both the Canadian and American governments. I have been banned from my local media for some combination of supporting the truckers and pointing to the obvious fact that censorship is the ONLY thing enabling anyone to believe that these injections are safe.
Thus, for pointing out censorship as a key element in a Big Lie, I was censored.
And Facebook just dinged me today. I am “lowered in the news feed” for 90 days for “persisting sharing unwanted truths”. That’s not how they put it. The game is to tag everything they can with “fact checks”, which occasionally contain some truth, but which mostly consist in a repetition of the Party Line, along with admonitions not to stray from official orthodoxy. “These vaccines are perfectly safe”. “There is no evidence natural immunity is better”. “Australia’s response is in proportion to the problem and animated by concern and caring for the Australian people”. Etc.
The basic pattern is all too obvious. If we get a social credit score system in place here, you can be dinged continually for anything the censors and tyrants don’t like, and your life altered in all ways. You can lose your bank account, job, right to post on the internet, your home, your car, your friends.
What sane person, seeing this, could possibly support any of this? None. No sane person. We are dealing with ghouls who are crazed with mindless fear, who have lost contact with their souls and humanity, and who in their continual daily terror are very much capable of the same crimes Leftists commit in all places and times, when they gain power.
But the truckers have hit on a winning strategy. They have hit a nerve. If you study the history of Leftism, they ALWAYS want to be able to be seen as the Good Guys. They spend a lot of time and effort concocting and supporting lies that really are not necessary. As I havee noted, they spent a long while concocting a story for George Faludy, which they insisted he actually sign, on pain of torture.
And he in effect asked them what the point of the game was, when they knew he was lying, and when his signature meant nothing. They had no answer. But for whatever reason it was important to them.
Likewise, it is important to the Left to believe good things about themselves. Unearned, easy access to moral hauteur is the primary benefit of membership in this cult. Narcissists hate anything which conflicts with their vanity, and working class Joes and Janes publicly objecting to their malignant and insincere “noblesse oblige” is just a very hard blow to bear. Such people have to be disappeared, but it is very hard, when you cannot disappear all the cameras, and all the means of sharing what they photograph.
Such a convoy in America would be beautiful. Since I have pointed out many times before that ALL MEDICINES HAVE SIDE EFFECTS, and since I have pointed out that if the jabs neither prevent COVID nor prevent its spread–or even slow it to any measurable extent–that taking this medicine is no longer a public health issue, that the main reason I was suppressed locally must be my support for the Canadian truckers, and my expressed hope something like that might happen here.
I truly think this possibility terrifies the assholes in Washington. If so, then we should pursue it aggressively. The cost to me is nothing. I offer words only, and I get that. But if my armchair strategizing is worth anything, that is my two cents.
