  2. The weakness of Joe Biden sickens me. He should be invoking Article Five of the NATO Charter and gathering an international coalition of fighter-bomber to clear the terrorist blockades of our trade routes with Canada.

    1. I could not agree with you more. I heard on Fox News that the senate and congress today are demanding a competency test of Biden due to his involvement with Canada now. Too little, too late.

    4. SF,
      It is indeed hilarious! To get them off the bridge, one politician screeched, "Slash their tires!" As if a big rig is gonna roll with slashed tires! Apparently, these elitists have no idea about the motility of a big rig with no air in the tires. My big old Crown Vic would have had a helluva time moving with all the tires flat. I personally know how hard it is to get a pickup rolling with two flat tires. Happened to my pickup once upon a time. I guess elitists haven't had flat-tire experience.

      Not to mention how difficult it is to take out the tires on a big rig: those tires are steel belted.

      Not to mention how flat tires on a big rig would tear up the bridge's pavement.

    5. I say that we allow the elitists rely upon their "technical solutions" to striking "essential" workers (soon to become classified as "nonessential" and laid off).

    6. ...and beamish is RIGHT, it's high time that Trudeau dealt handily with the Trotskyite wreckers that are attempting to sew social and class-based worker discord amongst all peace loving Canadians.

    7. They're blockading a trade route and entry point into the United States.

      Spin up the A-10 Warthogs and mulch the bastards with autocannons.

    8. ...for as Justin Trudeau famously stated at the outset of the Covid epidemic, ""We must bring about a situation where there is not a single unvaccinated Trotskyite wrecker left in our ranks.... "

      ...and as he also said recently, "Mandates are the way to avoid further restrictions."... and therefore we need to embrace our mandates today if we wish to not experience mandates imposed in the indefinite future.

      Delete
    9. Clearly, mandates ARE the path to freedom!

      Delete
    10. Clearly, we need MORE mandates if we are to achieve true freedom. Perhaps Whine mandates would surely UNIFY the country!

      Delete
    11. Now you know why the Canadians are so mad at the truckers... for blocking their only road.

    14. In our hyper-reality, however, war is NOT the answer. Only the Film Actors Guild (FAG) can save us... by inspiring us to adopt luxurty values and surrender our constitutional freedoms to mandates, so that one day, we can ALL be truly free. HYPERFREE!

    15. "Freedom through totalitarianism" just doesn't have that Zen-like zing to it...

    17. I don't care what they are protesting after they crossed the line into blocking trade and transit, causing real maple syrup shortages in the Midwest that will only get worse. Without real maple syrup, the pancakes and waffles industries go under. Which in turn hurts coffee sales more than truckers not stopping at truck stops. Which in turn creates a glut of unsold gas station roller hot dogs which in turn overflows our landfills with non-biodegradeables that in turn birds will eat then defecate on more car windshields and aerosolize the next variants of Covid.

      Frag the bastards before it is too late.

    18. It's no longer enough to simply be a "free trader"... we must all become "anti-isolationists" and impose free trade upon all, even those who don't want to trade with us.

    24. Meanwhile, beamish and silverfiddle head to Canada to act as American agent provocateurs and both disrupt the Canadian Trucker's Freedom Convoy and do a little recon for the coming invasion...

      Delete
    25. It's a good thing that they both obtained some cultural sensibility training before crossing, lest they get exposed for being non-Canadians. Their mission... discover for the global capitalists just what the Canadian Freedom truckers want.

      Delete
    26. ...but things in Canada are NOT going well for the Freedom
      Convoy Truckers. The American agent provocateurs have succeeded in disrupting official governmental functions and ceremonies in Toronto. Canadian officials are scouring the country looking for the responsible parties. And plans for the American invasion have hit a seemingly unsurpassable obstacle. Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion to this tawdry political tale.

      Delete
    27. ...when the question will be answered as to whether or not the Freedom Convoy proponents have far too much heaven on their minds... or NOT!

    28. ...as late-stage capitalism has become the secular proxy for Protestantism, and I feel myself a Judas for NOT having given it its' last kiss.

    29. ...and drive a final stake through our increasingly obviously vampyric state capitalism's heart.

      Delete
    30. ...for even capitalism, like it's mother Protestantism, has its' "sects"....and not all are deserving of their legacy.

    32. The difference between free market capitalism and state capitalism is best exemplified in the following example:

      In addition, within free market democracies, courts exist to safeguard the rights of individuals and companies. In state capitalist countries, they exist to legitimize the state's hold on political power. As a result, when the White House pressures BP to pay damages, the company knows it will have its day in court. In China, a foreign company is unlikely to win a ruling against the government. In the United States, companies "lawyer up." In China, they are "Googled out."

      Take Google, for example. When Google executives decided that cyber-attacks on its Gmail accounts from inside China could no longer be tolerated, they decided on open confrontation with China's government over censorship issues. Google remains a relatively popular brand with Chinese internet users, but there were several reasons why Beijing would rather force Google out than compromise with it.

      First, there are other search engine firms that do not challenge the leadership's right to restrict the flow of information. Second, one of those firms is Baidu, a Chinese company with friends in government and a much larger Chinese market share than Google. The message sent to Google was clear: Lawyer up if you want to, but you have started a war you cannot win.

    33. Free market capitalism is a subject of the law. State market capitalism is a subject of its' leader's SuperEgos.

      Delete
    34. ...and to be the subject of the other's SuperEgo is what most normal people call, nightmare.

    It is heartening to see progressives show their true selves and reveal their contempt and hatred for the working class.

    1. It's the curse of American wealth. The "elites" start to ideologically adopt luxury values where the real natural world gets transformed into a hyper-real world of media created deep-fake images. They all begin to see themselves as "influencers".

    2. Well, they're influencing the working class, but not in the way they were hoping...

      Bari Weiss features a Canadian commentary on the truckers protest

      What the Truckers Want

      "“the vast majority” of Canadian truckers, according to the Canadian Trucking Alliance, are vaccinated. (The CTA represents about 4,500 truckers nationwide.)

      So it’s about something else. Or many things: a sense that things will never go back to normal, a sense that they are being ganged up on by the government, the media, Big Tech, Big Pharma."

      Delete
    3. Please. The truckers have no idea what they want. They are simply an instrument of Divine Violence.

      So what is divine violence? Its place can be defined in a very precise formal way. Badiou already elaborated the constitutive excess of representation over the represented: at the level of the Law, the state Power only represents the interests, etc. of its subjects; it is serving them, responsible to them, and itself subjected to their control; however, at the level of the superego underside, the public message of responsibility etc., is supplemented by the obscene message of unconditional exercise of Power: laws do not really bind me, I can do to you WHATEVER I WANT, I can treat you as guilty if I decide to do so, I can destroy you if I say so ... This obscene excess is a necessary constituent of the notion of sovereignty—the asymmetry is here structural, i.e., the law can only sustain its authority if subjects hear in it an echo of the obscene unconditional self-assertion. And the people's "divine violence" is correlative to this excess of power: it is its counterpart—it targets this excess and undermines it.

      Delete
    4. Democracy is merely the "neutral political frame" within which "Divine Violence" may bounce.

    6. Of late, the Social-Democratic philistine has once more been filled with wholesome terror at the words: Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Well and good, gentlemen, do you want to know what this dictatorship looks like? Look at the Paris Commune. That was the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

    7. Jean-Pierre Dupuy:

      The catastrophic event (Canadian Truckers Convoy) is inscribed into the future as a destiny, for sure, but also as a contingent accident: it could not have taken place, even if, in futur antérieur, it appears as necessary. /.../ if an outstanding event takes place, a catastrophe, for example, it could not not have taken place; nonetheless, insofar as it did not take place, it is not inevitable. It is thus the event's actualization - the fact that it takes place - which retroactively creates its necessity.

  10. @ The Conservative's Revenge,
    You need to chill out a little or you're going to have a stroke.
    Everything you said is factual but you'll aggravate them more by mocking them, dryly Fisking -which is, the act of making an argument seem wrong or stupid by showing the mistakes in each of its points- or simply adding a 'Bless his heart' or 'not that there's anything wrong with that'. Be a happy warrior, not a scold.

  12. As the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics draws near, I’m still super disgusted on how the athletes are still allowed to be in China just to compete for the medals, while at the same time ignoring the atrocities of the Communist Party of China (CCP) that has done in the past 70 years, including today, i.e. the crackdown of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests, ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and Tibetans in Tibet, persecuting religious groups, including Falun Gong (which the CCP repeatedly claimed it’s an evil cult), and now… infiltrating world governments to spread pro-CCP narratives and debt trapping third-world countries.
    There are a LOT of propaganda videos out there trying to promote the games, that includes Chinese and paid Western influencers supporting the event. Most came from CCTV, a Chinese state-run news network, which ironically is on YouTube, even though that website is banned in Chinese internet.
    Despite governments calling for a diplomatic boycott, athletes are still allowed to go there. It is still not enough. Uyghurs, Tibetians, HKers, and even average Chinese citizens living outside of China are calling for the boycott! Their family members are still in prison, all because of who they are and what they’ve practiced. This, my friends, is what genocide looked like.
    Not just that, we are also witnessing a repeat of the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics, where Germany was under Nazi’s Hitler’s reign. Concentration camps were established during the Games, so they can exterminate Jewish ethnicities. This is the same will happen in Beijing, either build more concentration camps for the Uyghurs or will forcefully attack democratic island of Taiwan during the games. This is history being repeated!
    Peng Shuai (彭帥), women’s tennis star champion, disappeared after accusing high-ranking CCP official, Zhang Gao-li (張高麗), for sexual assault. She has been reappeared in different Chinese state-run media, trying to convince the world that she’s alright. Thank goodness no one bough that lie, especially after that “e-mail” where a type cursor was visible… and that tweet was deleted afterwards. Till this day, no one knows whether Peng Shuai was still okay, and many are calling out for an full investigation.
    This… is what happens… when you allow an authoritarian regime to host the Olympic Games. This is like giving North Korea the right to host the games, while at the same starving its own citizens and testing more nuclear weapons.
    With this, I dare NOT to WATCH the games live on TV! NEVER!
    I call all of my friends, who are fighting for human rights, freedom and democracy, it is time to turn off your televisions and stop watching this year’s Winter Olympics, as the IOC is now the corrupt puppet for the CCP. It is no longer holding the Olympic spirit, and instead doing it for money!
