Why Is The Left Not Coming Out In Support Of The Freedom Convoy?
« on: February 04, 2022, 01:54:34 PM »
I have been rather surprised that what we call "the left" is not out there supporting the Canadian Freedom Convoy. FaceBook a big freedom social media platform that was used by AntiFa and BurnLootMurder Inc. during the summer of 2020 is not supporting either the current protests in Canada nor the up-and-coming festivities here in the states.

The NY Post had a great article today that maybe helps to explain my burning question.

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.

For more than a century, lefties have talked about such a revolt. But if you really paid attention, the actual role of the working class in their working-class revolution was not to call the shots --  it was to do what it was told by the 'intellectual vanguard' of the left.

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.

Because they are not following the rules.  The rules from the left leaders is-- Do not start anything on your own.  If a protest, convoy or similar activities are needed you will be notified and called out to participate, then told when to go home and wait until called again.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

God created Man, Col. Sam Colt made him equal, John Moses Browning turned equality to perfection, Gaston Glock turned perfection into plastic fantastic junk.

In  one form or another I've puzzled and pried for an answer, _any_ answer, that explains the motivation of an average citizen who parrots the Left's screed, who believes what their television tells them to, all the while and generally, managing to hide any signs of suffering from cognitive dissonance.
I have at more times than one,  become frustrated and simply thought of them as "fools", "intellectual pigmies", "ignoramuses", "immature cowards", and then, in my darkest fugues (in D minor no less) I occasionally  default to "Satan's Useful Idiots".
But as mildly cathartic as this might be, what does it explain?    Not much.
Why bother "worrying" about it?
For me, an effort to understand from where the "enemy" might come, how and why they order battle as they do, is something  that must be undertaken _if_ they are to be met and defeated.   Peacefully.  Before we have to engage in gunfire.
What is it they say?   Good Generals understand tactics and strategy, great General understand logistics... ?
And I agree, arguing with a Lefty is like wrestling with a pig in mud on a hot day.  You come to the realization that both enjoy it.   Facts on the ground apparently lose to emotions in the mud - every time.
So what about the emotional logistics that supply Lefty troops and sustains them through minefields of fact and direct observation? 
Does countering the Left successfully hinge on something other than rational, fact-based arguments that Aristotle would work with?
Is there a key(s) to unlocking the emotional components of a Lefty's mind that we can grasp and carry into battle?    Used to capture, not kill?
Can we understand and disrupt the emotional logistics that enable our Rulers to hold so many on thrall?


Please.
Help me on this one if you've any ideas.
