vyelkin posted:Dick Wolf watching the Beer Hall Putsch: hmmm, looks to me like right-wingers are trying to co-opt this protest because it's directed at the government In an abstract sense, yeah, I don't like people being smashed by the liberal government. But we need to use our brains for half a second before we come to their defense. Sharing an opponent or even a choice of tactics now doesn't make our goals compatible, nor does it mean right-wing movements will return that favor when we're in the cross hairs. In fact, we know that it's precisely the opposite!

DesertIslandHermit posted:It's so hosed that there's a portion of Americans with money that roleplay being the working class and they do stupid poo poo that ends up influencing government at a greater scale than the real working class. It's very much in the interest of the media and the liberal political establishment to engage with a fringe right-wing pantomime of the working class rather than actual workers, to reinforce their self-justification as an enlightened and professional elite holding back a regressive and ignorant mob. The trucker branding serves liberal interests as much as the right (well, further right), the most they're willing to undermine it is part of statements like "the REAL workers are the people who support us!"

It was funny. this is how MTG got in. crossfitter from a rich family, rented a condo in a forgotten district and adopted the good ol' girl affect and won. ngl american carpetbagging is incredibly entertaining, and if I could I'd change my name to BIG COLT DRIVESHAFT, adopt a shitkicking accent, and my platform would consist entirely of a campaign ad featuring me blowing up a Prius labelled 'PELOSI' with a howitzer this still makes me laugh https://twitter.com/markhelenowski/status/1375500976170340360

DirtyRobot posted:Leftists still cursed by liberalism don't understand that punching Nazis is actually a great way to build a working-class movement, because instead of trying to convert some petit-bourgeois, literal fascist you can and should turn your attention to building solidarity with those people who are subject to Nazi violence. Making excuses for Nazis doesn't do this!! "I will fight to the death for the rights of my enemies (who would never do the same for me)" is one of the most frustrating political memes among the left-liberals.

quote:What's happening in Windsor, on Huron Church Rd. right now. They are installing concrete highway barriers unbroken from the Ambassador Bridge all the way to E.C. Row expressway (about 3 miles) with only one taken out at each side street and a cop car parked across that opening, with nothing but bridge traffic allowed in. When I left this morning, I got about a couple of km up the road, before encountering the crews installing barriers in a solid wall towards the expressway. I got all the way to the bridge, without being able to get out of this newly created valley of concrete. So, I had to go to a road block and ask the cops to let me out and they said not to go onto it again.

Rumors has it that Jean Charest (you know, the Quebec PM of the provincial Liberal party that instigated the 2012 student crisis) is checking his support to see if he can run against Poilievre. The moneyed establishment LOVED him there. I wonder how it would translate to a Federal run.

Man, the American leftists have their head so far up their asses with this the left should support these truckers and their legitimate grievances bullshit. This is a textbook fascist movement alliance of lumpen proletariat (the crazy antivaxx out of work people getting grifted) and the petit-bourgeois grifters. There are real workers actually fighting to better trucker working conditions and their loving UNION has come out against the movement but they have been drowned out by the fasc. The reactionary elements in the police forces are even facilitating this, it’s not at all hard. Sucks when your heroes (Richard Wolff) can’t even be bothered to check in with our leftist movements before parachuting in with their hot takes. Yankees go the gently caress home.

My theory is that when they grabbed her for a psych eval a few months ago, she copped to fleecing her followers. They certified her not-crazy, just a bag a poo poo, and let her go. It's the only thing that makes sense other than her being used as a straight-up CSIS honey pot.
