The one-two punch to knockout woke-authoritarianism

Gummi Bear

Comedians and Truckers saving the world.

Sounds silly, doesn’t it?

It really isn’t so far-fetched when you think about it. Comedians and truckers are uniquely situated to make an impact in fighting back against woke authoritarianism. ...

Ever since the woke-ocalypse began to descend upon us sometime in the mid 2010’s, it became obvious that we were actually fighting a culture war against the progressive left.

A culture war is a battle between groups over basic values and beliefs. It’s essentially a metaphoric fight for the heart of the country.

The only problem is that most people didn’t, and some still don’t, realize that the culture war exists and that the left’s blitzkrieg has already occupied all major institutions of culture and authority.

Unfortunately, regardless of when you figure it out, you soon realize that you’re not very well equipped to fight this war. Sure, you can vote…and you should vote…but change via voting happens very slowly.

In the meantime, society hurtles towards more authoritarianism and craziness. ...

But now there’s hope!

Maybe the Comedians and Truckers can save us…

Comedians
It is I’ve always thought that the key to winning the culture war was through comedy. They’re really the only ones who are allowed to say the quiet part out loud, no matter how controversial. ...

Jon Stewart single-handedly made it acceptable to talk about the origins of Covid-19. It took him less than two minutes to absolutely demolish the notion that it’s unreasonable to consider the “Wuhan Novel Coronavirus Lab” as a possible source of the virus. But before this, people were ostracized professionally or suspended/banned on social media just for mentioning the possibility.



You can’t be fake and still be funny. That’s why comedians are really the most honest commentators of contemporary society. In their comedy, they point out some uncomfortable realities hidden beneath the veneer of civilization.

Take this Dave Chappelle joke. The reason it’s funny is that underneath there is an element of truth that he is pointing out.




And at no time have we needed truth-tellers more than now. The cancel culture strategy of the left has made the culture war incredibly hard to fight.

Let’s be honest, it’s hard for the average person to hold down a day job and also criticize progressive wokeness. Even comedians have been cowed by this culture as many a comedian has been canceled. It’s hard to fight back when you’re being shouted down by people yelling “racist” or “bigot”.

Yet, comedians are the only ones who are uniquely positioned to fight this battle. As Jordan Peterson points out in this recent episode of JRE, comedians are not compatible with woke totalitarianism. ...

The moment that comedians collectively decide to go after woke progressive culture, it will be like that moment when Jon Stewart called out the origin of the Wuhan virus. The whole thing will crumble under the weight of its own absurdity.

Let’s hope.

Truckers
Truckers are important because they hold a counter to the power of the authoritarian state.

There is a reason that Jimmy Hoffa was once as powerful as the President of the United States. People have no idea how important logistics are to modern society.

We talk about how essential policemen, firemen, and medical workers are. I guess that is true to the handful of people who may need their services at any given moment in time.

But do people realize what happens to modern society when goods stop being transported? Over 80% of people in the US live on only 3% of the land. Without truckers moving goods into those urban areas, things start to go bad fast. We’re talking about the total breakdown of society in weeks. ...



As a side note, one of the great things about this protest is that while it is against vaccine mandates, the participants are both vaccinated and vaccinated. They are joining together in solidarity for peoples’ right to choose.

This should have been the position of workers all over. They should have come together, regardless of their vaccine status, to demand that mandates be eliminated.

This is the coverage you see when the elites start freaking out because they realize that they no longer have the power. All those truckers have to do is just go home and take a two-week vacation and let the politicians figure out other solutions (they can’t).

So long as they stick together and aren’t intimidated, the truckers should get their way because they hold all the leverage. It’s true in Canada. It’s true in the US. It’s true almost everywhere. Logistics is king in modern society and we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of consequences right now with the Covid-19 logistic delays.

Final Words
So there you have it: Comedians and Truckers. Maybe Seinfeld should make a spin-off: “Comedians and Truckers Getting Coffee”.

In their own way, each of these groups has the ability to strike a blow against woke authoritarianism. Comedians in the culture war and truckers against authoritarian governance.
