But I'm sure you believe the stories from all of the young boys they also raped. Of course, there's even less media coverage about those cases, but it happened. Should we treat those reports with the same degree of callous skepticism?

They should face Nuremburg-style trials. That's what you do with people who conduct unethical and harmful medical experiments on unwitting or unwilling human subjects.

Polls are bullshit, this one included. The fact that, given their obvious bias, that factoring in their deliberate selection bias and all of the other filters they will have applied in order to secure a result as favourable to their position as possible, they were still only able to get 40% is actually encouraging.

Remember, according to YouGov, 71% of British people support vaccine passports. Try finding one of them outside of London.

They keep inventing new jobs for themselves so they don't have to. Waiting for them to collide with the "real world" at this point is 2014 thinking. They've invented an entire industry whose purpose is to "help" billion dollar corporations solve a diversity problem that never existed until these people invented it.

A lot of that depends on the police as well. Everyone's so used to reports of protests in France turning violent that we're almost jaded. But really, that's not the protestors' fault so much as it's due to the French cops resorting to tear gas every time someone in the crowd sneezes.

More. In Ontario, the government flat out admitted that they were counting suicide deaths as COVID deaths if tuer person had tested positive in the last month. Literally using the deaths they caused with the lockdowns to justify the lockdowns. That's what we're dealing with here.

Because in Europe the governments are the ones overtly trying to enforce the vax mandates and discriminatory practices, whereas the American bureaucracy has learned that there is less resistance if they don't actively engage in the oppression themselves, but rather farm it out to the private sector and to the self-appointed community managers.

Oh, it's not us censoring you: we're just sitting back while Silicon Valleey does it for us. It's not us forcing your kids to get vaccinated: that's the school boards. It's not us flooding your communities with illegal immigrants: what do you expect us to do about it?

In Europe, the governments are making themselves the focus for people's anger by flat out saying, "We are going to make you get vaccinated and take away your rights if you don't, we will prosecute you for saying these things, we demand that you accept these immigrants."

In the US, it doesn't matter that it really is the government bureaucracy doing these things. As long as there's the flimsiest smokescreen of plausible deniability, most people will fall for it.

unions balance the enormity of corporate power,

True enough, and as you say, Corporations run the same way. Where I think we differ is that I don't believe they were ever intended to be anything else. Labor unions were originally established by political idealogues in order to co-opt the grievances of the working class, however legitimate. Any benefit they have provided the working class has been incidental, because that was never their intended purpose: their purpose was to act as political pressure groups and quasi-clandestine fund-raisers for Marxist efforts to subvert and undermine the integrity of Western societies.

Unions were already huge before the USSR. E.g. the labour movement in Germany.

Unions got their start in the 19th century, before the Russian revolution, it's true. However, unions as a well-funded political force and especially their revolving-door relationship with mainstream political parties, did not really take off until the 1920s and 30s. The fact that they were actively funded and supported by the USSR during and after this time is well-documented.

they did not benefit the USSR.

Actively supporting corrupt military dictators in Latin America doesn't benefit the US, but they keep doing it.

Again, this is a universal among organizations, that does not mean that they should not exist (though some, like teacher's unions, definitely should not)

Public sector unions are the inevitable final form of the labour union: the co-option of working class political action by the pampered ideologues of the managerial class, to the point where the majority of the working class in the West are no longer unionized, but the bloated mass of social-climbing hangers on, clinging to the teat of the globalist elite, are the chief beneficiaries of labour unions. Which is further proof that they have only ever existed by the leave of corrupt elites.

Unions are by nature and design corrupt and cronyist institutions. Any improvements they secure for labor are incidental at best. In Europe, they would never have gotten off the ground to gain the social and political power they have had it not been for financial support from the USSR and other Communist states. In the North America, they would never have gotten off the ground if it hadn't been for the mob.

Unions are by nature criminal.orgianizations whose main goal is to enrich their own leadership at the expense of their members. Just like a communist state. All unions are structurally communist, even if not necessarily ideologically Marxist.

Fair enough. My own view of the French may be someone slanted because I'm Canadian, and French Canadian behaviour, as well as their interactions with Anglophone Canada, are shaped by petty grievance culture and characterised by an unearned sense of entitlement, incessant demands for special treatment and poisonous rhetoric, all of which has served to undermine the integrity of Canadian society on a fundamental and Constitutional level.

Also I don't like the food.

Sometimes I wish every noun in English was gendered like in French, even if it doesn't make sense half the time. It makes it a lot harder to pull the gendered pronouns nonsense.

Their smug sense of superiority and bad attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way, but if they're going to keep being at the forefront of this push-back, I'd say the smugness, at least this time, is well-earned.

Summer is here again oh lord

Haven't been able to leave home in a year or more

I hope this goes on a little longer

Held a press conference on a long summer day

Rioters all looked kind of gay

I've been runnin down this fiery road

Wheeler in the sky keeps on turnin

Don't know if he'll be recalled tomorrow

While Wheeler's city keeps on burnin. . . .
