COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

So the Ottawa police have apparently killed a woman. Trampled her to death with a horse. Not even the Australians have stooped this low yet, have they?

Since when have the dictator's house guard given a fuck who they killed? They were only following orders. No one will even speak to him about it.

The Australians have to catch up now.

So the Ottawa police have apparently killed a woman. Trampled her to death with a horse. Not even the Australians have stooped this low yet, have they?

Is there any evidence that she has actually died?

And this is why the truckers will lose:

The cops can't win against those numbers, but the coward with the medic armband, and all those like him, will make sure the truckers lose regardless.

Historically non violence only works as part of an organizational movement, the weaker side wants to provoke an overreaction to A) recruit further and B) weaken the legitimacy of the stronger power. This works really well for Marxists as the media will always amplify the events and distort on behalf of the weaker side. A protester getting killed becomes a recruiting strategy.

This is reversed in the current climate as the media are the Marxists, but the effect remains the same, the feckless medic preaching non violence while someone is beaten meters behind him is still witnessed by people. Just because it’s not amplified doesn’t mean the spread is stopped, it’s just slowed.

I don’t really see a long term solution that isn’t a violent reactionary movement, the longer it takes to snap back the more violent it will become. There's not thousands of Canadians that are essentially locked out of society and have no other option than to join an extremist party. I just hope they don't join the commies.

Preliminary reports, being what they are, apparently exaggerated the situation. But she was run over by a 1500-lb shod police horse that has been trained to run over people on the ground. You will never know the cop's name until they promote him two ranks.

Vox Day on reports of a small bank run in Canada:

The more serious problem the Canadian government has caused for itself is the extreme lack of confidence it has now instilled in the entire banking system. Now, in addition to not receiving any interest on their deposits, even Canadians who are not involved with the Freedom Convoy are learning that they can’t even rely upon the banks as a safe store of their wealth.

Since its role as a store of wealth is the primary purpose of money, this means that the legitimacy of the Canadian monetary system is being actively undermined by the converged Canadian government. Which means that the legitimacy of the Canadian government will also soon be questioned by those who don’t even support the convoy.

Just a reminder that the police are ostensibly there in the name of public health. Peak clown world.

True North (@TrueNorthCentre): "Trudeau thinks he can compel tow truck drivers to move rigs from the border.

What do you think?" | nitter

We are about to learn several important things.

I am really curious what persuaded the tow truck drivers to refuse to comply when the police, retail workers, restaurants, airline workers, TEACHERS, etc. have all been complying so EAGERLY.

Probably it's a combination of earning enough (excludes the restaurant and retail workers) and having an independent enough source of income (excludes the police), and maintaining a healthy disrespect for centralized authority and cynicism about the benevelonce of others.

Imagine if Australian, Canadian, and American police had refused to comply with orders, like these tow truck drivers!! (For many of us here, if we had been teaching in the States, there's NO WAY we would have allowed our students to be masked, and we would have long ago made alternative revenue or reduced expenses plans to deal with the possible repercussions of ignoring these child abuse mandates.)

Or, absent that, if they had at least complied less EAGERLY....probably there are huge segments of society who cannot under any circumstances be given leeway to control their fellow citizens beyond the absolute minimum. But it's just so sick; where does this love for control come from; if it is not due to external circumstances, and simply a part of human nature, why did these tow truck drivers NOT exhibit this trait, while the police, stewardesses, TEACHERS, and ever retail door greeters out there, did?

And were there not prosecutions of people who accidentally harmed folks among life threatening BLM crowds while simply trying to drive to safety? Meanwhile the black supremacist terror attack at the WI Christmas parade is a nothing burger, right?

When speech is silenced there are no other options but violence or the acceptance of subjugation. It's a dark, but inevitable, road we're all going down.

Just wait till the USA truckers start a freedom protest, then we'll see how far our dear leaders push their authoritarian counter measures here...

Historically non violence only works as part of an organizational movement,

Specifics or stop babbling.

Nonviolence has NEVER worked when dealing with tyrannical government. Ghandi used violence. MLK used violence. Any other movement had at least the very real threat of it.

Peer pressure and financial boycotts work for dealing with people who do not have violence at their disposal.

Just wait till the USA truckers start a freedom protest, then we'll see how far our dear leaders push their authoritarian counter measures here...

What will stop them again?

You think a bunch of truckers, who thus far have been as passive as puppies, are going to risk felony convictions to bring guns across state lines and into DC where pretty much saying "gun" will get you jail time?

Nothing will be different from Canada except where the geography.

And can someone finally explain how fucking with the supply chains of the rest of the country hurts people who can work around them?

These dumb asses could have actually done something useful: like targeting particular businesses and regions by refusing to deliver or something actually sensible, but which doesn't give the warm fuzzies of useless protests.....well, useless except that the people you claim to care for will be going without and paying more and the grifters who run these things will cash in "defending" you in court and selling hats.

The answers are local and targeted. Finding and creating community that actually has your back to the degree that the petty tyrants are afraid to knock on your door. Refusing to give your time and money to business and such that hate you. Demanding that, ala Maxine Waters, people know what is up. Moving among sane people.

Mostly though, it is being totally intolerant to the bullshit, which means being apparently unpopular. But that unpopularity is likely smoke and mirror because of the evil minority that holds the cameras and megaphone. People who actually know you, assuming you're a decent person, won't believe you're some evil raciss, grandma killer, or whatever else gets thrown at you.....and screw 'em if they do.
