The last couple of days have seen riots with 10,000 people in them in Holland over the latest Covid-19 lockdown. In Rotterdam, two people were shot by police. And I'm not talking about rubber bullets or paintballs here, they fired on the crowd with live ammunition. Two people are seriously wounded, by which I mean maimed for life as the best outcome they can expect.
Yesterday there was another big demonstration in Toronto. I mention this today because of two things. First, the only place I've seen that news get any play is the Epoch Times and the usual blogs. Not a mainstream outlet. There's a youtube video of the event, which shows that an awful lot of people showed up for this thing. They had speeches, they had a march down Yonge Street, it was a big deal.
Look at all those Normies. |
This is a very, very bad sign for the government.
The people attending the rally are all the normal people who never pay any attention to politics. They never pick up a newspaper except to check the sports scores. They don't care about conservative vs. socialist. They're not Woke, and they're not Green. These are the people who normally form the audience that activists play to. They don't demonstrate. Until now.
Now they're pissed.
I've been pissed off about the government and Covid-19 since March 2020, but I'm what you'd call an outlier. A weirdo who pays attention to boring shit on the internet and gets upset about mask mandates etc. The Normies didn't notice at first. They went along, like they always do. That going-along thing is what makes them Normies. They don't get upset. They comply, they adapt, they don't care what's going on in government or society because it doesn't impinge on them. They don't pay attention unless something punches them in the face. Usually it takes two or three times before they actually pay attention.

The government has been punching Normies in the face for a year now. People who have never paid attention in their entire fucking vacuous Normie lives are now paying attention. More than that, they are angry and passively resisting. Pretty soon they will move. And when the Normies move, they will ALL move.
My plans for that time are to be elsewhere. If I get stuck in it I'll find a nice basement to hide in until the Normies work it out of their systems. I've been Cassandra with this shit for 30 years, y'all Normies can suck it. I'll drop by with a broom and a dustpan for cleanup.
That's my opinion today, for what it's worth. That and six bucks will get you a Starbucks. Inflation, baby.
This is exactly what the progressives are afraid of. They know that they're severely outnumbered and if the normies do mobilize they're done. Why else would they be desperately trying to paint any normie who does finally act as a dangerous domestic terrorist. Add in the coming internet speech restrictions designed to prevent just such a mobilization and you get the end of western civilization as we know it. All unless the normies take action now!
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing. Wait until the Normies actually -do- something. Then you're going to see the cops show up with all those armored vehicles they've been quietly buying the last ten years.
ReplyDeleteThat's when shit gets real.
My wife and I left the country on Monday. Let's just say we're learning Spanish because we plan to be speaking it for the rest of our lives, not returning to the True North Weak and Stupid.
