Brittle Mythology

You might have to subscribe to Glenn’s substack to read this one but it is free: The Neoliberal War on Dissent in the West

Those who most flamboyantly proclaim that they are fighting fascists continue to embrace and wield the defining weapons of despotism. […]

In sum, you are required by Western propaganda to treat the two images below as fundamentally different; indeed, huge numbers of people in the West vehemently denounce the one on the left while enthusiastically applauding the one on the right. Such brittle mythology can be sustained only for so long.

  1. EVERYONE needs to watch this conversation with Rex Murphy and Peterson.

    https://youtu.be/5efyUt5YDU0

    Peterson says: “why didn’t the Conservatives show up in parliament on Friday anyway? Or at least walk among the protesters to engage in conversation with them?”

    I made this point two days ago.

    1. “I made this point two days ago.”
      So did I.
      The could have shown up, and voted down the Emergency Measures Act.
      The CPC is now Ned Flanders’ parents: “We’ve tried, like, nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!”
      As I see it, the CPC and the Libs are to the People of Canada as the Wehrmacht and the SS were to British soldiers in WW 2. To defend either is to defend the enemy.

        SAID THE GUY WITH ALL THE GUNS

        “Interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell said what some describe as ‘mostly bylaw infractions’
        by demonstrators were actually ‘terrorizing moments for the city.'”

    2. Doug – you beat Brian with your link by one minute.

      In Glenn Greenwald’s article he notes “In 2017, mass protests erupted in Barcelona as part of a movement in Catalonia for more autonomy from the Madrid-based Spanish government, culminating in a referendum for autonomy on October 1. In 2019, even larger and more intense protests materialized. The methods used to crush the protests shocked many, as such domestic aggression had been rarely seen for years in western Europe. Spain treated the activists not as domestic protesters exercising their civic rights but as terrorists, seditionists and insurrectionists. Violence was used to sweep up Catalans in mass arrests, and their leaders were charged with terrorism and sedition and given lengthy prison sentences.” Sound familiar?

      Likewise if Alberta and Saskatchewan try to separate, do you think Trudeau would let a prime source of foreign capital walk away? He is signaling that he sees Spain’s response to Catalonia as a roadmap for a response to any Western attempts at separation (like voting to separate). He is using the same language, same tactics as Spain used. He may find that the West isn’t Catalonia, at all.

    3. I quit working at shoprite to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $45 to 85 per/h. Without Ret a my doubt, this is the pay easiest and most financially MICN rewarding job I’ve ever had. I actually started 6 months ago and this has totally

      changed my life………… http://googlepays01.tk/

    4. Doug …

      Although the entire video is very instructive , most people will not spend the time to listen for the duration.

      For those who cannot spend the 1 hour , to get Jordan Peterson’s summary jump to 57.30min in the video and listen to the end.

      I won’t attempt to paraphrase it. He eloquently and brutally summarized the state of Canada in a few minutes.

  2. When liberals use violence against the people the media justify it via they deserved it, I can’t think of one incident of violence from the truckers-the violence was one sided via armed thugs called the Policeeeeeeeeeeeee. The media are nothing but the PR arm of liberal and NDP parties, eventually their access to tax payer’s money will be cut off but that’s a couple years down the pike.

    1. Rose,

      I think this comment I read this morning on CFP is what we need to explain to our “‘REPRESENTATIVES”

      “opposition party needs to say they will use the same Emergency Act, once they take power and arrest Trudeau and his fellow parliament members for treason against Canada, and freeze their accounts. Say it out loud, You lefts want a war, then lets give you one, or move him from power today.”

    ” … Rex Murphy joins Dr. Peterson to discuss the most recent actions of Trudeau’s Government, including the arresting of protestors, the freezing of the bank accounts of Canadians suspected of participating in the protests, and the long-term consequences of these extreme measures. …”

  4. “Such brittle mythology can be sustained only for so long”
    That’s a pretty dumb thing to say.
    The fact is, when you crush your enemies, its good, and when your enemies crush you, its bad. So, the commies will celebrate when their enemies assets are seized, and lament when their allies assets are seized, but this simple truism is now beyond most people, because their “education” was actually brainwashing.
    Every single western gov’t has been the enemy of their own people for many decades now, and they have been crushing their own people accordingly, from Louis Riel the Branch Davidians to Assange and Snowden to the truckers, and many, many more.
    Of course, libertarians are still best referred to as LOLbertarians and pinkos, right?

    1. One day there will be a real insurgency with real anti-government terrorists numbering in the thousands. Not just an occasional lone gunman with a gripe, but a disciplined, organised, IRA-style insurgency, hitting cops, politicians, banks with stultifying regularity. Car bombings, raids on courts and jails, etc.

      They could be armed, trained and funded by Russia, and China. The beauty of that Cold War refrain is too wonderful to miss!

      At that point, the repressive regime’s ham-fisted own-goal of destroying the will, creativity and commitment of half its population will bear its bitter fruit.

  5. I’m making $88/h to complete some internet services on the internet . I’ve not ever imagined like it could tgb even achievable but my greatest pal was getting $27,000 just within four weeks completing this leading task & she has satisfied me to try…Explore updated guidance by reaching following website….

  6. Greenwald article is a good read.

    He does a good job of explaining why repressive governments need to differentiate between “demonstrators” and “insurrectionists” regardless of evidence.

    Also concur with commenters labeling Conservatives as cowards.

  7. Trudeau has always enjoyed international recognition – he’s getting it now. Sample headlines:

    “Iranian Regime Condemns Trudeau Government following Violent Crackdown on Freedom Protesters”
    “GOP Lawmaker to Introduce Bill to Grant Asylum to Canadian Truckers Persecuted by Canada’s Trudeau Regime”
    “EU Parliamentarian Representing former Communist State Calls on International Community to Isolate Tyrannical Trudeau Regime”

  8. Well, I’m out. I tried to watch the “continuing debate” (when the Hell do they actually vote, fer Chrissakes?) on CPAC just now, and less than five minutes in I was overcome with disgust at the tactics of the Liberals. It’s astonishing the level of bullshit and suck-uppery the Lib MPs will undertake to try and convince everyone that the truckers were some kind of existential threat to Canada, rather than a municipal nuisance, thousands of kilometres away from most Canadians who are just trying to live their lives.

    Canada is royally screwed.

    1. The truckers are a threat; to them and the rest of the elitists. Especially senior civil servants who became very wealthy by having their snouts in the trough. They produced nothing of value and, like any other parasite, are fighting hard against being removed from the host.

  9. The CPC, after being silent for two years, jumped aboard the truckers’ convoy, tossed O’Toole and started talking.
    After a few days of tough talk they said: “OK truckers, you’ve made your point, now go home. We’ll take it from here.” Yeah, sure.
    Then, after Trudeau invoked the police state act, they agreed to close down parliament and ran away like something out of a Monty Python script.
    They should have stayed in their seats and pounded their desks, demanding a debate. But they cowered.
    Screw them.

  10. The Liberals are half-way home.

    They have a sufficient number of useful idiots and enough political clout to make Canada into the third-rate sh–show they’ve always wanted.

    Discussion is no longer necessary, if even possible. How does one have a debate with someone who thinks that trampling grandmothers is reasonable?

    Even if, by some post-Christmas miracle, the vote were to forever quash Justin’s dreams of a complete dictatorship, his willing retards will still be around us.

  11. Beware Canada. Henrymakow.com Right on schedule!

  12. But the government is only targeting a group that they don’t like and won’t talk to for just long enough to crush them, so its totally ok. Everyone else still has their rights as long as their views are government approved. So no problem there either. Plus the government is supported in this by the majority of the people who are sick of people voicing unpopular views and inconveniencing them and being all disorderly (as long as they aren’t from specially protected groups of course) so all of this is also totally democratic too. The people have been watching the state sponsored news media and they don’t like these horrible people causing trouble so its time for the government to start cracking skulls so that things can get back to normal. The rights of the majority to enjoy peaceful streets totally over-rides the right of the troublesome minority to be heard. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    So did I capture the predominant narrative correctly??
