It has come to this. As George Orwell knew it could. Freedom is fascist. Freedom is slavery.
Taylor Dysart, a doctoral candidate at Penn, authored a column in which she claimed that the Canadian truckers’ Freedom Convoy “has surprised onlookers in the United States and Canada,” in large part “because the action seems to violate norms of Canadian ‘politeness.’“ She then opined, “But the convoy represents the extension of a strain of Canadian history that has long masked itself behind ‘peacefulness’ or ‘unity’: settler colonialism.” Huh?
Sadly, she wasn’t done. She stated, “The history of Canadian settler colonialism and public health demonstrates how both overt white-supremacist claims and seemingly more inert nationalistic claims about ‘unity’ and ‘freedom’ both enable and erase ongoing harm to marginalized communities.” Huh?
She added, “The primarily White supporters of the Freedom Convoy argue that pandemic mandates infringe upon their constitutional rights to freedom. The notion of ‘freedom’ was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness, as historian Tyler Stovall has argued. The belief that one’s entitlement to freedom is a key component of White supremacy. This explains why the Freedom Convoy members see themselves as entitled to freedom, no matter the public health consequences to those around them.”
Yes, how dare the Freedom Convoy members think they are “entitled” to freedom! It’s not like they have inalienable rights granted by their Creator or something! They only have the rights that the government says they have…or don’t have! Period. Leftists somehow believe they are entitled to determine what freedom other people have. Revolting assumed privilege.

These people are flat out nuts.
How convenient. Channeling Eric Blair.
Doesn’t the black supremacist raised fist stand for freedom also?
No. It stands for dominance.
Sheep fisting.
They may be nuts, but they are feeding the propaganda machines around the world. This line is particularly pernicious, and I truly believe that we’re going to see the use of it ramp up. The idea of “freedom” is actually terrifying to Gen Z and even some Boomers. They want to be told what to do, when to do it, and for how long.
The idea of being afloat in a sea of freedom, finding your own way by the winds, is so paralyzing as to cause them to ball up and suck their thumbs. I’ve heard Twitch streamers get red-faced screaming at people who espouse this idea that society should “go back to normal.” Normal isn’t defined as we understand it anymore. Normal has been re-minted, and it looks suspiciously like fascism.
Did Canadians ever vote for freedom that is only as granted by their government? I used to visit Canada frequently back before the passport foolishness & always got the notion they were considered a free people. Of course that was before Trudeau.
Propagandizing for the enemy should be treated like it was during WWII.
So she’s saying minorities are too stupid and weak to realize freedom has been taken away or to fight for it. How racist of her, especially from a “highly educated” elite female.
The takeaway from this lunatic’s opinion is white people have no right to be free.
The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Scream racism at anything you don’t like or which slows your agenda.
The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Passionately attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.
The Left’s Core Strategy #3: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “
The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Repeat.
You got my pride
Hangin out of my bed
You’re messin with my life
So I brought my lead
First verse of Freedom - by Jimi Hendrix
Not nutz, comrades, communists, control freaks but not nutz.
Freedom is Slavery - 1984, George Orwell.
Perhaps she prefers dictatorship also known as slavery
So liberals want to go back to slavery, eh?
They just want to enslave those that don’t agree with them. They get freedom.
