So we’re finally seeing a genuine, bottom-up, working-class revolution. In Canada, and increasingly in the United States, truckers and others are refusing to follow government orders, telling the powerful that, in a popular lefty formulation, if there’s no justice, there’s no peace.
Naturally, the left hates it.
...
A working-class revolution led by the working class is the left’s worst nightmare because the working class doesn’t want what the left wants. The working class wants jobs, a stable economy, safe streets, low inflation, schools that teach things and a conservative, non-adventurous foreign policy that won’t get a lot of working-class people killed. It’s not excited about gender fluidity, critical race theory, “modern monetary theory,” foreign adventures and defunding police.
...
Worse yet, a huge part of the lefty self-image revolves around feeling superior to the working class and openly expressing disdain for it. One need spend only a few minutes tuning into left media like NPR, CNN or MSNBC to hear the disdain for working-class Americans, inhabitants of “flyover country,” people who live in the middle of nowhere.
So naturally, the idea that those people might be staging a revolution is intolerable.
...
as Elon Musk noted in a tweet, if the Canadian government’s positions had substantial support, the truckers would have faced significant numbers of counterprotesters. But they did not. The government itself is the fringe minority, with its only support coming from the loyal sycophants of the media.
...
If truckers quit their jobs, society would immediately collapse. If politicians quit their jobs, the world would become a better place. We need truckers more than anybody else.”

absolutely. working class, let’s roll.
This man who lived under Communism in Poland inspired the truckers to continue to hold the blockade when their spirits were flagging. They are staying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfFDXzcZwyQ
Truckers of the world, unite? They don’t like that? *giggle*
If anyone at FRknows how to support the Canadian truckers directly please pm me. We could start a group but that might not work based on FR rules.
Great new tagline! (condensed a bit)

They only wanted a workers’ uprising when they were NOT in charge.
Obviously.
The left is now the Establishment.
Excellent
“The left is now the Establishment”.
I said that to an older Lefty and he got mad as hell. They can’t stand the truth.
Is everyone learning what I learned when I was a kid living 4 years in West Germany in the 1970’s? Nazis are your neighbors. I met lots of wonderful old people. You’d never guess they’d voted for Hitler back in the day. Yep, wonderful people. Except for that whole mass murder and global war thing.
Neighbors.
They are so smug in this arrogant self-assurance that they think the working class will never catch on. That's why genuine populist movements constitute such a threat, especially to those who've been on the government tit for a lifetime. It's an existential threat and they absolutely will resort to violence if they think they can get away with it.

Good, I’m glad he got it. I noticed quite a few posts on twitter by leftists who think the right is the machine and they are still the rebels.
I’m pretty sure reality is going to hit them like a Mack truck very soon.
Kurt Schlichter: “I think it’s hilarious that the socialists are furious about the workers of the world uniting.”

Yes, it is hilarious. We need to rub it in their faces.
Thanks for posting that link.
That should be required viewing in every Civics class.
The left will demonize the truckers and blame them for the upcoming drastic supply chain shortages of food.
Rough times are coming.
“I’m pretty sure reality is going to hit them like a Mack truck very soon”.
That’s for certain. Gotta love it. They’re going to be more unhinged than ever. We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
I sense that it is already hitting some of them.
