I just heard a funny claim on the radio as I was coming home. They said the reelection of Donald Trump and the rise in right wing populism represents a shift towards authoritarianism. It's not a shift it's a return. Right wing extremists are the same as Left wing extremists. Draw a line in the sand and call that line democracy or freedom. The further you get away from the line on the left or the right, the further you get away from democracy or freedom and the closer you get to Dictatorship or slavery.
I switched from FM news on my car radio to AM. FM the only news was CBC and they were ridiculous. It was OK to get a headline but the commentary and political brainwashing that went with it was ridiculous.
However, the FM news is the same. There's no difference. CKNW is now owned by Post Media News just like Global. CKNW and 1130 keep saying News you can trust. Why do they keep saying that? Because no one trusts the mainstream media any more for good reason. They keep pushing an extreme political narrative leading to the UN's New World Order.
The reelection of Donald Trump represented a rejection of that narrative. However, Trump 2.0 went way too far. Now his enemies love him and his supporters are saying WTF? He's gone from one extreme to the other which is the same thing.
An example of this is his attempt to rewrite the electoral boundaries in Texas which is causing a knee jerk reaction in California. Trump 2.0 has dropped significantly in the polls for good reason. Instead of addressing those concerns he's desperately trying to grab more power by rewriting the electoral boundaries in Texas to give him more seats in the mid terms.
He's doing this because he knows he has dropped in popularity and will lose seats in the mid terms. That's not very democratic. The purpose of the system in place is to hold elected officials accountable. He's trying to remove accountability and grab more power. That is not a good thing and there's no way to spin it.
Gavin Newsom is an idiot but Trump trying to rewrite the electoral boundaries in Texas to give him more seats is giving Gavin Newsom more credibility. Just like Donald Trump was the reason the polls flipped in Canada and Mark Carney was elected. Canadians didn't want the right wing authoritarianism they saw coming from Trump 2.0.
So here's the news flash. Authoritarianism is bad. Doesn't matter if it's on the left or the right all authoritarianism is bad. Using the tough on crime slogan to justify a police state is not a good thing. Like I said, it's the problem, reaction, solution paradigm. The left creates a manufactured emergency with lawlessness and mass migration so the right can over react to that problem and implement what the WEF wanted all along.
We have a couple of people in Canada calling for mass deportations. STFU. Secure the border don't hunt people down for feeding their family. If someone's illegal and they commit a serious crime, then deport them but these ICE prisons and gestapos are absolutely insane. Ya'll took the bait and fell for their plan. Give your head a shake and wake up. Right wing extremism is just as bad as left wing extremism.
Inner peace is found when we balance the extremes. I've already talked about where we were, where we're going and where we want to be because those are three different things. Perhaps it's time to revise those thoughts.
When things are as bad as they are now, and headed in the direction of worse, with all the wrong people doing all the wrong things, from criminals to politicians, how do we get back on key without some form of serious reform? If just voting would solve the problem that would be great, but it won't, the right people have to be there to be voted for. Unfortunately they aren't. There is no one currently trying for the brass ring who is not just the next problem, as we've seen recently when we got rid of Trudeau. History and human nature provide the answers, and they're not good, as your diagram indicates.
BalasPadamTrump 2.0's extremism has shown us that violence is not the answer. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I think support for our founding documents is crucial - the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights. I think speaking the truth is essential. The globalists are so obsessed with censorship and media manipulation that alone shows public opinion does matter,. No lie can live forever. Carney's honeymoon has come to an end but Poilievre need's to dial back and reform his objectives or we really will be doomed to Carney's Carnage of debt.
PadamWhile I would agree we were, and still are headed for a communist globalist dictatorship in Canada, I'm not so sure that we're going to be headed for a fascist dictatorship by working against that. The classic example of the rise of fascism in Germany in response to communist attempts to take the country over is no guarantee the same would happen again here, it's not like Germany had the equivalent of the Charter or the Constitution in the mix. We do. Both Canada and the US have been around for a while, Germany had only been a nation for 60 years or so at the point where Hitler took power, and had been under a monarch only 15 years earlier. Plus Germans are somewhat slavish to authority. Canadians and Americans less so. I'm confident we can get the job done without descending into the same exact problem we are trying to fix, by a different name.
BalasPadamI completely disagree. The defiant denial illustrates that we've already cross the line. I'm explain more in my next post. Stephen Harper was an enemy of the Charter of Rights just like Justin Trudeau was.
PadamLooking forward to it.
