I knew for a lot of years that this epidemic of “late-stage Leftism”, as my friend Charles Haywood refers to it, was a mostly worldwide phenomenon but it hit me like a thunderbolt when the Texas abortion bill was passed and people in Australia were outraged. Texas. Yes, it’s a huge state with a considerable economy but why would people in a prison colony care? When we talk about the Left/Marxist/Whatever “march through the institutions” it wasn’t only happening here. In fact, it took longer here than many other places. They just folded.
This development with the Canadian Truckers has many “teachable moments”, but the one that is clearest to me is the technique of labeling everyone against the regime and their useful idiots as Nazis, racists, etc. Canadian politicians, the press and their Organs on social media just ran with the anti-Trump playbook. As someone who is actively looking for this rhetoric it was head-shaking. They didn’t honestly believe this was going to work on a majority of the population, did they? Outside of the globohomo worshipping college professors and baristas in Toronto, Quebec City and Montreal, most of that country is seriously blue-collar. Honestly, it is very much like the US once you get out of the big cities.
It would cause pain in the very short term, but if HYPOTHETICALLY truckers across the West did this, just shut it down for 2 weeks (and got a little help from ship captains), it would make waves. My friend Aaron from Timeline Earth has said right from the beginning of this COVID tyranny that real change won’t be demanded because people aren’t hungry. I’m not saying the politicians will go without if supply lines were HYPOTHETICALLY slowed for 2 weeks or a little more, but many of the people will be. That hunger will cause a demand for change.
Some reading this may think it sounds dangerous, a shot over the bow that could go either way. You would be correct. After the last 24 months drastic measures may be called for. Either way, there’s going to be suffering no matter what road leads us out of this. We will win, it’s just a matter of the path that causes the least harm because there will be some. This may be the safest way.
I've been closely following the trucker situation since the beginning. My thoughts at the moment are that the Trudeau government is going to use its "emergency powers" and especially its grip on the financial system to try to starve the truckers out of Ottawa, and I've been trying to think of strategies the truckers could use to defend against this tactic.
This whole "trucker's rebellion" has been a mix of hope and horror. The unity of people, gathering not only peacefully, but JOYFULLY, has been quite a heartwarming thing to behold. While the State's hateful and absurd rhetoric, threats (and acts) of violence, and economic/financial attacks against citizens for exercising rights that they (the State) simultaneously claim to be protecting, however predictable, have been frustrating, to say the least.
Like you say, this can go either way, but with their latest flurry of belligerent incompetence (to be charitable) public opinion does seem poised to (finally) begin to turn against the dark forces of authoritarian oppression who've stepped out of the shadows over the past 2 years. Maybe I'm in an echo chamber/bubble, but the outcry that has erupted over Turdeau's emergency powers declaration and threats/plans to freeze assets of political dissidents looks, to me, more engaged and widespread than any I've seen in the past 2 years. Calls to pull money out of banks happened almost immediately. A small trickle of police and State officials resigning in disgust seems to be growing every day. Could this be the overplaying of the hand we've been waiting for? Could this narcissistic child, letting his ego drive these disastrous policies be the first domino to begin to topple the latest WEF/Globalist scheme?
