I constantly hear from people who say those on the “Left” will never unite and fight the Powers that Be because we will always be divided by one thing or another. I am here to tell you that that is 100% true, and here’s why.
See, the “Left” is composed of different people with different ideas. Some believe that all mainstream media outlets are bought and paid for, yet will believe them when it comes to reporting on Coronavirus and the measures needed to eradicate it. Others will tell you they are anti-mandate but will go along with all things Russia-is-bad and that they must be eradicated because…reasons (and really the “reasons” come from MSM, who somehow are believable yet corrupt at the same time).
But Extra, how does Donny Boy play into all of this? Well, kids, ya see, Trump was the OG brain buster, the first blow from the sledgehammer to the noggin if you will. When Bernie Sanders ran for President in 2016, he was a uniting force for a great many “lefties”, but was also a litmus test for those within the left as to who gave a shit about poor people and who really only cared about Hillary Clinton becoming the first woman President of the United States. So as he united, he also divided. Weird, but true. Not that the “Left” was ever truly united in the first place. But I digress.
As the 2016 primaries rolled on, Donny Boy became the frontrunner and then eventual nominee for the Republicans. So not only was “It’s Her Turn” Clinton the one to rally behind for the sake of historical importance, she was perceived by the MSM and their social media flunkies as the only one who could defeat Orange Man Bad (despite the fact that polls showed Sanders had a much better chance of defeating Trump in the general election). Nevertheless, it was another in a line of “elections of our lifetime” where potential fascism had to be headed off at the pass. We all remembered how that turned out.
So now Trump was President and the firehoses of “resistance” were opened up full blast. There were accusations of collusion, dossiers, the dreaded Russiagate scandal, et al. Women wearing feline-themed hats marched in protest. Memes of people losing their shit over him became prevalent on Facebook and Twitter. Even though the Russian collusion story was cooked up the night of Clinton’s defeat, it was treated as gospel by those in media and certain political circles determined to make The Don a one-term president. only to be disproven as folly after Trump was defeated by Sleepy Joe.
But in the midst of the Trump presidency, another bogeyman came along in the form of a microscopic virus that was cooked up in a Wuhan laboratory. My my my…The Rona. See, Trump wasn’t enough to wreck brains on the “left”. Experimental drugs touted as “vaccines” were whipped up in a disturbingly short period of time. Dollar Tree Mel Brooks look-alike Anthony Fauci was pushed to the forefront to act as a dystopian voice of reason, sending mixed messages and presenting convoluted “evidence” that the jab would save us all, and if you didn’t take it, you were the fucking Grim Reaper in training, dooming the human race to eternal face masks and Zoom calls.
But even Trump and COVID weren’t enough. The “left” was fractured, but not totally down for the count. The oligarchy needed one final piece of the trifecta to send lefties to the mat for good. That piece came from Russia, bringing everything full circle. See, back in 2014 when then VP Joseph Robinette Biden and his boss Obomba, sorry, Obama, were in power, they helped execute a coup in Ukraine, neighbor to Russia. They helped to install a comedian as Ukrainian president and, wouldn’t you know it, obvious fascists in their military. You know, Nazis? The people that were primarily defeated by the USSR in WWII (which included Russia). Fast forward to 2022 and these same Nazis, who had been bombing the shit out of eastern provinces of their own country for being too lovey-dovey with Russia, were now getting their asses handed to them by Vladimir Putin and Co. Now, there are even more divisions in the “left”. You have people who are 100% against war period, no matter who started it. You have people who side with Russia. You have people who side with Ukraine. And you have people who want nothing to do with the conflict whatso ever.
Is this all by design? Of course it is. Trump, Covid and now Russia/Ukraine were tools used to keep not just the “left” divided, but all Americans. Some who called Canadian truckers “fascists” were the same people claiming that Ukraine had no fascists in their military simply because the President was Jewish. Some who didn’t allow the Trump resistance to break their brains allowed Covid and Ukraine to ultimately do the job.
None of this is simple to everyone, but if you can step back and see the big picture without letting any of those three elements cloud your judgement, the manipulation is fairly clear. And to what end? Digital passports? The Great Reset? The Fourth Industrial Revolution? Will the World Economic Forum continue to plant Manchurian candidates into high levels of office in order to secure a new world order that was backhandedly predicted by George H.W. Bush?
Elections aren’t going to save us. Getting rid of the system and replacing it with Wild West survival-of-the-fittest mentalities isn’t the answer either in a world approaching a population of eight billion. We must drop labels that keep us apart. We must rely on mutual aid and direct actions that provide real change. We must stop feeding the capitalist machine beast that survives on the blood, sweat and tears of its workers. The current system needs to be erased and replaced with something that actually represents the people, not profits or corporate structures.
Finally, it’s time to turn to independent media, but with a critical mind. Not all information outside the influence of MSM is legitimate. Corporate media is a construct used to manipulate the masses, to keep them in line. We must embrace honest journalism that, even though it may sting to hear the truth, is something we need desperately. We have to, because not only is censorship here and now, it’s just getting started.
Fuck the “left” and all labels like it. Focus on people and find common ground, before it’s too late.
