Thrilled you broke your academically structured form and let it pour, the result is spectacular, There are so many favorite punches and perfectly stated slams but these are the nost favorite.. write on!!

"it’s really part of a much, much bigger saga about modern ignorance and ancient wisdom."

"The converted are lost forever, but nothing can convince even normies that a sizeable fraction of the most polite and apologetic culture on the planet are racist, anti-semitic, Islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic bigots."

"Old hippies are getting a bad rap these days. I know because I am one.

Let me tell you something. There are lots of old pissed off hippie ladies like me in this movement. (I’m older than I look.)

And we are your worst nightmare."

Let's hear a big Amen to that!! <3

If ever there were a time for speaking with passion and vehemence, it is now. Thank you!

And just in contrast to the righteous anger of the oppressed, we have the faux moral outrage of the ruling elite. If there WERE a massive collection of violent neo-Nazis converging in Ottawa, would the appropriate response be Trudeau's muted condemnation and subsequent attempts to ignore them while in hiding? His acting skills haven't progressed THAT far since the days he was dressing in blackface and singing "Day-O."

I am not sure of all the globalist stuff, I am suspending judgment on that one. But you are bang on about us old hippie ladies! I used exactly that in a discussion on Rabble, a Canadian left wing group. This is a true populist movement, and it does not fit the old left/right boxes. These days more common sense in some matters appears to be coming from the right. For the first time ever, if an election were held tomorrow I would go and deliberately spoil my vote.

Go the emotional outbursts, I say.

On the subject of white supremacy, Ardern must surely be the most racist PM we have had in a long time. She dangled KFC (in exchange for vaccination) in front of our Pacific Island and Māori communities as if they were a bunch of dancing monkeys. She treated them like simple savages. It struck me as a form of recolonisation. I am absolutely gobsmacked that prominent Māori and PI did not speak up against this offensive ruse. Have we really sacrificed our dignity so readily? For fried chicken, no less?

It says so much that two of the YouTube videos you linked are already unavailable because the accounts were terminated.

Which is an expression of the same panicked, counterproductive overreaction amongst the WEFite managerial class that led to the convoy street festival getting crushed with an illegal and illegitimate invocation of the Emergencies Act.

I beg to differ on the “hundreds of millions of years of biochemical pathways”, but the rest, is indeed, glorious! Chur…

CCS has been a bullshit story for 30 years now. I guess you can seek solace in the fact that probably only a few carbon sucking plants have gone to full operation and then at that level have failed miserably.
