No Sympathy for the Devils

HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HOOOOOOONK

For almost two weeks now, I’ve been following the Canadian trucker convoy with great interest. Beginning as a protest movement against vaccination mandates that threaten to put a lot of solid blue collar working men out of their jobs, it has since broadened into more big tent opposition to a number of related globalist policies enacted by the Canadian government. As they rolled across Canada with a great big convoy, they picked up steam and support from regular people all along the way. Last week, the convoy pulled into Ottawa and promptly invested the city centre, thus beginning the Great Honkening. I have been ecstatic to see its progress so far.

This is because it is exactly the kind of “scale up” of anti-Regime action that I’ve expected to start happening. A few weeks ago, I wrote about the ethnogenesis of two White ethnies in the United States - the genuinely cultural divide between normal heritage Americans and progressive soyjacks. It strikes me that much the same thing is happening in Canada as well, given how similar its Anglo culture is to our own and the similar trajectory its modern society has taken to that on our side of the border. Wherever you have different and antagonistic ethnies, you’ll form a metaethnic faultline and begin to see the organisation and aggregation of forces on both sides. Now, the soyjacks were already essentially united because they are de facto represented by Regime governments that already scammed their way into power. Our side has long been disunited - partly by outside interference and partly by an unfortunate obsession with “rugged individualism” that just creates social atomisation. Thankfully, this is being overcome and things like the Trucker Convoy represent a leveling up of coordination for /ourside/ that will hopefully continue.

So far, the actual response from the Canadian government has been pretty impotent. The Prime Minister, Justine Trudeau, fled the capital. The city government tried kicking the can up to the national, even floating the idea of the military being used to clear the protestors (which was mostly just laughed at). The national government has now kicked the can back down to the city, which is reduced to stealing gas cans and threatening people with arrest (illegally) for bringing food to hungry protestors. Having frittered away most of its soft power options, who knows whether they will take the next step towards exercising hard power against the truckers or not.

In the meantime, the truckers remain, honking their way to victory. And one of the most hilarious parts about this has been the absolutely unhinged response from Ottawa’s soyjack population, the archetypical entitled, centre-of-power urbanites. A good example of the type would be this rich, government-connected “labour lawyer” who never missed a billable hour throughout the entire pandemic who is now having a sad because he’s losing a little sleep.

Is this a peaceful protest? What if you lived here, and this was going on from early in the morning until late at night, how would you feel? #Ottawa

What’s really ironic is that this guy’s feed from back in 2020 was full of platitudes about how protestors are supposed to make people feel uncomfortable and should be supported and protected from being hassled by the police. Indeed, it’s funny how lefties are suddenly offended by protestors and are complaining about being inconvenienced by them. NOW they want the police to roll up all Bull Connor-style on protesting truckers. They were positively salivating at the thought of using the military against peaceful truckers honking for ancient Anglo-Saxon liberties.

Generally speaking, this is how these people have been throughout the pandemic, and indeed all the rest of the time as well. They’ve consistently wanted to jail, starve, disemploy, and imprison people who won’t go along with the biomedical security state, just as they sought to do before Covid became another excuse for them. For example, there’s this little gem from the Toronto Star,

Awfully big words from awfully little men…

Which is why I have absolutely zero sympathy for them and their being inconvenienced by honking truckers. None whatsoever. These people have made themselves the enemies of regular people everywhere who just want to live their lives in peace and they have happily done so from a self-attributed position of supposed moral superiority. So I don’t care if they’re unhappy. In fact, I think we should do everything we can to make their lives more difficult.

It’s obvious that the object to continuing covid restrictions is to punish people who don’t go along with Regime party line. It’s a political act having no basis in “science” or “medical necessity.” And your average soyjack NPC progressive is perfectly willing to not only go along with this but help enforce it on you and me as well. That’s why we need to get serious about punishing these people in return - not because of spite or revenge, but because that’s the only way to discourage future behaviour like this on their part, as well as building asabiyya on our side. Whatever we can do - legal sanctioning when we have the power to do so, social sanctioning whether we do or not - should be done to them.

Now understand that I’m not talking about vaccinated people in general or even people who mistakenly think that the Covid vaccines are a good idea. I realise there are a lot of people who made their own risk assessments and decided for themselves that the vaccine was for them. There are also a lot of people who were coerced into taking it, as well as many who just believe everything they see on the news. No, I’m referring specifically here to the rabid vaxxers who fully support punishing people for not getting with the program.

One idea I’ve had along this line is that /ourguys/ in local Red/purplish communities should keep a list of local progressives who are known to be vocally supportive of punishing “anti-vaxxers,” etc. Build up a network among friendly normies in the community and then work with local tradesmen - plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, and the like - to blacklist the progs from service. At the same time, friendly locals could agree to put these tradesmen as the top of the list to call whenever you need service so as to make up the difference in income. Sure, you can yell at complete strangers to wear their masks, but good luck getting your toilet fixed. It’s time for the masses to begin the process of cutting the progressive email class out of our society. The particular policy advocated above might be more practicable in smaller and conservative communities, but tactics like it can be adapted to whatever the local conditions are. Be creative.

Many of you probably remember the old NRx adage from Social Matter days that “right wing activism always fails.” Generally speaking this is true, at least when those on the Right try to imitate the sort of activism that the Left does. This is because left-wing activism isn’t really about “bringing change.” It’s about triumphalism and demonstrating that the Left has the type of institutional support and protection that allows it to get away with the things that it does. However, if you try to do the same kind of activism, like burning down a city centre or something, you’ll get rolled up pretty quickly.

Yet, the truckers’ convoy is an example of /ourside/ activism that works. Really, the truckers have so far engaged in smart fourth generation warfare (4GW). They’ve chosen a set of popular issues that resonate with a broad strata of Canadian society. They’ve remained positive and upbeat, even as official opposition to them has begun to stiffen. They’ve been scrupulous about keeping everything ethical and aboveboard. The only people waving swastika flags are the Feds. Further, they turned their convoy into a fun idea that appeals to people who might be otherwise apolitical. Their encampment is basically a combination of block party and ice hockey rink with a constant, if not very diversified, soundtrack playing in the background. It even - and this is important for optics and appeal to normies - has a sprinkling of Sikhs and other minorities to round out the crowd. Regardless of how much the Left wants to cast them as such, the truckers in the convoy really are not a bunch of violent, firebreathing racists - and everybody who sees a video from somebody’s camera phone can see this.

The other really smart thing that the truckers’ convoy did was to organise well enough to ensure that they had sufficient manpower to be unpoliceable when they showed up. This makes them less susceptible both to being rounded up by corrupt law enforcement as well as to being “James Fielded” by antifa and BLM street thugs. This is one of the main errors that so many on the Right commit and it comes from their inability and/or unwillingness to accept that the old “fair play” rules - where everybody just shows up, speaks their piece, and then goes home - don’t apply any more. If this protest was just some ad hoc affair where a dozen truckers showed up and parked in front of Parliament, they’d have been towed off, bankrupted, and arrested on some kind of bogus terrorism charge in short order.

When it’s several thousand people…that’s a different story. The police are treading lightly because (let’s be frank) several thousand people, even if they’re peaceable and friendly, always carry the potential to become not so much so if you start messing with them. If nothing else that’s the nature of crowds. Noticeably absent, also, have been the sort of left-wing street drek who usually show up to assault and run off Rightist protestors.

As I intimated above, there are limits to the soft power that an ostensibly free and democratic society can exercise when faced with a challenge to its authority like the truckers’ convoy, and the Canadian government at least is reaching those limits. Other Regime governments - including our own here in the USA - are surely taking note and planning steps to try to head off this sort of challenge before it gets started, because they too would find themselves in a quandary. If and when soft power fails, how do they begin to exert hard power in a way that doesn’t deal them a further blow to what little remaining legitimacy they have left? In the case of the USA, there is also the fact that there is an extremely large and increasingly angry portion of the population that owns firearms and has extensive training and experience in using them and who might actually be put over the edge if popular peaceful protesters started getting gunned down or blackbagged in the streets. That’s the kind of thing people notice.

This question becomes even more difficult for them should the Right begin to take even stronger social measures. What if (for example) instead of parking and honking in some second-tier capital, truckers decided en masse that they just weren’t going to carry deliveries to certain cities that retain oppressive Covid restrictions, etc.? What is the government going to do? Arrest them all? Point guns at their heads and make them drive? That’s one of the problems with instituting oligarchy through ostensible democracy instead of going the more direct and old-fashioned route of overt Communist revolution - you still have to pretend to be free and democratic while you’re in the process of subverting that paradigm. You aren’t as free (yet) to do all the things your progressive politics would like for you to do.

So we might be talking about individual progressives who are being inconvenienced by deliberate and targeted social ostracism. We might be talking about progressive governments being put into a seemingly impossible predicament as far as how to deal with intelligent and savvy Rightists trying to break their system. Either way, there are a lot of things that can be done to make life difficult for them, which I would suggest we look into doing. Either way, we should have no sympathy for these devils since they certainly don’t have any for us.
