Notes from Chairman Trudeau — 3 Comments

  1. I came across this post by Glenn Greenwald about Trudeau’s tyranny on the SDA website.

    “This last decade of history is crucial to understand the dissent-eliminating framework that has been constructed and implemented in the West. This framework has culminated, thus far, with the stunning multi-pronged attacks on Canadian truckers by the Trudeau government. But it has been a long time in the making, and it is inevitable that it will find still-more extreme expressions.

    It is, after all, based in the central recognition that there is mass, widespread anger and even hatred toward the neoliberal ruling class throughout the West. Trump, Brexit and the rise of far-right parties in places where their empowerment was previously unthinkable — including Germany and France — is unmistakable proof of that. Rather than sacrifice some of the benefits of inequality that have generated much of that rage or placate or appease it with symbolic concessions, Western neoliberal elites have instead opted for force, a system that crushes all forms of dissent as soon as they emerge in anything resembling an effective, meaningful or potent form. . . .

    This new escalation of repression depends upon a narrative framework. Those who harbor dissenting ideologies — and particularly those who do not embrace that dissent passively but instead take action to advocate, promote and spread it — are not merely dissenters. The term ‘dissent,’ in Western democracies, connotes legitimacy, so that label must be denied them. They are instead domestic extremists, domestic terrorists, seditionists, traitors, insurrections. Applying terms of criminality renders justifiable any subsequent acts of repression: we are trained to accept that core liberties are forfeited upon the commission of crimes.”

  2. Greenwald has the right of it; “Western neoliberal elites have instead opted for force… those who actively disagree are “domestic extremists, domestic terrorists, seditionists, traitors, insurrections. Applying terms of criminality renders justifiable any subsequent acts of repression…”

    Labeling tens of millions effectively “enemies of the State” is a formula for rebellion and using armed force to crush them eliminates all moral authority.

    Without moral authority, legitimacy is lost. Their actions condemn themselves for oppression is fundamentally inconsistent with consent of the governed. Even when backed by a majority, a State does not have the right to ‘cancel’ fundamental rights.

    Police and military who then support a now illegitimate, morally bankrupt State delegitimize themselves. Becoming criminals themselves, fully guilty of crimes against humanity.

  3. Narendra Modi is a mighty fine leader, long hated by leftists in India and here.

    He’s doing a lot more to protect freedom than President Biden.
