I hear that a lot in these circles...along with "This isn't a right/left issue, this is an X!"
I couldn't disagree more. There is a very observable pattern between those captured by the mainstream left orthodoxy being in favor of (or even complicit) in the crimes of the last two years.
The Covid Crisis didn't begin in 2019/2020 it was clearly a pre-planned initiative that they had been laying the groundwork for quite some time.
1) Normalizing censorship (They came for Alex Jones, then they came for the doctors)
2) Normalizing using finances as a weapon against regular people (firing people for tweets)
3) Indoctrinating people into a new state religion (trust the experts)
There is only a single political tribe/side that has been so consistently working towards all three:
The "progressive" "woke" ideologues and their enablers, and they had many enablers.
Many will fall short of calling these people mind-controlled, but that's only sparing their feelings.
There are two things I've noticed that have solidified my view on this.
1) Any time the public is polled on the state of reality on *any issue* the "right" consistently closer to reality than the "left" by a massive margin. Both groups will be wrong, but one is consistently "more wrong" than the other in a significant way.
2) Listen to the crowds. If you pay attention not to the speakers, but listen for when the crowds on the "right" cheer more intensely or stay quiet, you will consistently notice that they have a far more advanced understanding on issued than people would think...and that's just the people attending events!
Naturally this isn't absolute, there are always notable exceptions, but I would argue that the main predictors of one's pro-tyranny affinity is a combination of:
1) Right/left persuasion
2) How much they benefit from the status quo
3) Their age
In that order!
I believe the right (as a group) has already "woken up" to the scheme in significant ways and that the left is still years behind. Now there is a lot the right needs to learn from the old left, the problem is that most people who consider themselves left these days aren't even able to explain classical liberal ideas. The "left" hasn't been what most people see it as for quite some time and it's simply a sick mockery of what it ever stood for.
Couldn't agree less. The people you call "left" aren't left at all. They are neoliberals, and there's little to none of the traditional values of the left to be found in a neoliberal. Neoliberals are globalists and corporatists; they espouse a state which serves the global elite, not the people.
It seems to me there are two main categories of thought/belief that get confused all the time: the 'social' and the 'economic'. Left politics is based on political economics, not social wokeism. Think of Marx's historical materialism and his labour theory of value. When you state, "the 'left' hasn't been what most people see it as for quite some time and it's simply a sick mockery of what it ever stood for", that is because the those whom you refer to as the "left" aren't the left at all. In most western countries, the left no longer exists in an organized political form. That's not to say that there are no more leftists; it's just that their former political expressions, such as Britain's Labour Party or Canada's NDP, have been taken over by neoliberals and are no longer "left" political parties.
The neoliberals you describe incorrectly as the "left" are an evolution (some would say an inevitable evolution) of classic liberal ideas, which have nothing to do with traditional left ideas.
It's definitely a "sandwich" where both the higher and lower bound are more susceptible in my experience, but it's not as good as #2, which seems to be quite a bit less accurate than #1. if I was to throw out numbers here's how I'd rank it.
Right/Left persuasion: 85% likely to tell you where they are
Do they benefit or not: 70% likely...
Very young or very old: 65% likely...
Also, I've noticed by a small margin men seem to be more likely in favor than women for reasons I'm not quite sure.
But everything I've seen is that the ""type" most likely against all this is:
A middle-aged woman who isn't working in the public sector who leans right or centrist.
"The leftists and the rightists each see half of the fraud."

what do yo mean by age? The older you are the less you see? Or the younger you are the more you are swayed by the "narrative"?
