Who are your friends and allies, and who are your enemies? The first part is not the easiest question to answer. I have taken to splitting my list into those who want me dead and those who do not. I consider anyone who wants to see me force injected with an experimental drug as someone who wants me dead, so enemy category. Those who believe I have a mental disorder that needs to be addressed because I don’t agree with their delusions and worldview, which somehow make me immoral in their eyes, are put in the enemy category as well. Most people can tell you who their friends are rather easily. Allies are a bit more difficult because they may be people you break off from once your common enemy is defeated. So, what does an ally look like besides someone who doesn’t want you dead?
Someone on the Left
When I think of allies on the Left I think of someone like Glenn Greenwald. Glenn and I would definitely disagree on the full spectrum of economic issues but Glenn views the insane Left as his enemy and this State as a terrorist organization. Glenn never fell for Russia or Ukraine-gate and caught copious amounts of crap for questioning the whole COVID regime. He even resigned from the website that he co-founded when editors tried to censor an article he wrote critical of Joe Biden pre-election 2020.
The enemy is the Leftist regime that controls the government. He opposes both.
Someone in the ‘Middle’
I honestly believe that the middle of the road leads to socialism but there are people in the middle who know who the real enemy is. Joe Rogan is the first person who comes to mind when I examine the “middle.” Because Joe has questioned allowing trans-women (men) to fight women in the UFC, he has been accused of being a far-right winger by the Leftist corporate media and their allies in Washington DC. And let’s not forget the reaction to his December 2021 interview with Dr. Robert Malone, the holder of many patents on mRNA technology. The New York Times dedicated a fact-check article to the episode, while Rolling Stone Magazine promoted the 270 “physicians and scientists” petition against Rogan that ended up being a farce.
Again, the enemy is the Leftist regime that controls the government. He is under attack by both.
At this point, I don’t know how much more I can write about unity against our common enemy. If you recognize the far, insane Left and its infiltration of every aspect of the State, and many private companies (especially “Big Tech”), as the enemy, we are on the same page. If not but you do not want to see me dead, while not automatically labeled an enemy, I honestly believe we have nothing in common other than my continued existence. So neither ally nor friend. However, if you see the enemy as clearly as I do, then we are definitely allies. And as I have stated repeatedly, we need to organize with our allies, ESPECIALLY at the local level, to implement plans fortifying our areas from further encroachment by these Leftist influences, while also working diligently to purge what exists currently. We have seen how parents showing up at school board meetings to voice opinions has not only beaten back the nonsense being taught in schools, but has also revealed the character of this Leftist regime in their labeling of parents as “domestic terrorists.” The federal government in Washington DC appears to be weakening but I could be wrong about that. That is why local action comes first, then state-level action if you can, and then federal last (even though, in my opinion, the federal level is, for now, a lost cause). Brion McClanahan uses the slogan “Think local, act local.” It’s time to put that statement into action.
I don’t mean to derail this post, though I think it’s tangentially related. Your tweet ‘Love your tribe’ made me realise I wasn’t really sure who my tribe is. I sensed there was a little trolling / double entendre there but I took the tweet at face value and I’ve been thinking a lot about who exactly is my tribe. I’ve gotten a lot of positives from thinking about it.
I really appreciate and enjoy your work Pete. You always seem to put something out that’s relevant to what I’m dealing with. Thanks man.
Agreed. There are many on the left and in the middle of whom I’ve been dismissive but who I can recognize don’t want people like us dead at least. If there’s any hope of a peaceful divorce type solution, these are the types of middle and left that will be needed.
