The French came late to the fight. The British brought Brexit first. America needs to step up but president Trump brought us some relief, at least while he’s in office. Everything the French Yellow’s are protesting has been going on in America too. High taxes. Check. Big Government. Check. Riot Cops using tear gas against the people. Check. Russian Interference in the Government. Check but we have Robert Mueller on that. Big deal or more accurately, no big deal.
Members of the Identity Politics Left, who are determined to prevent the working classes from rising up against global neo-liberalism until they have cleansed their ranks of every last vestige of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, and so on. These leftist gatekeepers have been struggling a bit to come up with a response to the gilets jaunes … a response that doesn’t make them sound like hypocrites. See, as leftists, they kind of need to express their support for a bona fide working class uprising. At the same time, they need to delegitimize it, because their primary adversaries are fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and assorted other isms and phobias, not the neoliberal ruling classes, not the government itself.
Nothing scares the Identity Politics Left quite like an actual working class uprising agaisnt the government itself. The Left just likes to go after White People.
This messy, Western “populist” insurgency against global neoliberalism has clearly entered a new phase. Count on the global Social Justice ruling classes to intensify their ongoing War on Dissent and their demonization of anyone opposing them (or contradicting their official narrative) as an “extremist,” a “fascist,” a “Russian agent,” and so on. I’m certainly looking forward to that, personally.
Oh … yeah, and I almost forgot, if you were wondering what you could get me for Christmas, I did some checking, and there appears to be a wide selection of yellow safety vests online for just a couple of bucks. Where is the nearest barricade?
