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.
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?
