#132Also keep in mind that in the backdrop of all this is the fact that our Prime Minister has called the protesters racists and misogynists. Probably inspiring someone who ran over some protesters in Winnipeg. Canadian news and politicians are desperately trying to denounce the protesters while ignoring the fact that Canada has some of the harshest Covid restrictions in the world at the moment, while the US has hardly a…

#135GoFundMe should be political neutral, but it openly turns left. I recommend a long post explaining this phenomenon: https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/why-is-everything-libe...
So many words and nothing about the urban-rural and the religious divide which explain many things. I should have stuck to my rule about stopping reading at 'woke' but I wanted to give it a chance.
I have no idea why the urban-rural and the religious divide is relevant to the specific topic.

The CEO of every major US company is basically the same person. They came from the same background and went to the same schools. They have a stranglehold on the working class of America. They can deplatform you and de-bank you.
The working class will have a hard time withdrawing from a society that is designed to keep them in check. Parallel economy likely to pop up.

Conservatives could not deny service for a personalized cake to a gay couple without unbelievable fights that they barely won at SCOTUS, but left-wing companies can deplatform as much as they want from their generic service if they don’t like your politics.
I don’t have to be conservative to say it’s extremely hypocritical.

They're protesting against mandates. Which most of the world is lifting...
And I'm not on the truckers' side per se... But the response from the government has been shocking and I'm sure as hell not on the government's side.
For the record, I'm vaccinated. Not an anti-vaxxer. Literally just went to Europe and came back. Getting out of and back into Canada was the most onerous part of the trip.

Anyone complaining about some big "left" collusion is essentially bashing a straw man. The actual truth is that there are more than two groups of political interests. Corporate interests are biased towards corporate interests, period. They're basically indifferent on social issues, and so from the right they appear "left" because they echo the broadest appeal as a marketing technique. Shoehorning everything that you disagree with into a single category and then thinking the whole world is ganging up on you is a completely broken model, but it is unfortunately lucrative.
