It’s almost as if these world leaders are all taking their speaking cues from the same memo…
These days, it seems like every time Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opens his mouth (from behind his mask, of course), it’s to spout off some anti-human propaganda targeted at the vaccine hesitant.
In a French language radio interview in December, Trudeau had this to say about the 20% of Canadians who still have not gotten their shots:
“We all know people who are deciding whether or not they are willing to get vaccinated, and we will do our very best to try to convince them. However, there is still a part of the population (that) is fiercely against it. They don’t believe in science/progress and are very often misogynistic and racist. It’s a very small group of people, but that doesn’t shy away from the fact that they take up some space. This leads us, as a leader and as a country, to make a choice: Do we tolerate these people?”
Ah, yes, it’s the old “I don’t feel like coming up with a stronger argument to persuade you of my point, so I’ll just paint you as a horrible person” tactic.
This certainly isn’t the first time those opposed to lockdowns and mandates have been maligned with false ideological associations. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen health freedom protestors from countries around the world described in the mainstream media as “far right extremists.” Ad hominems are the rhetorical bread and butter of tyrants.
It’s not a new phenomenon—in fact, what makes it so damn interesting is that it is a completely modernized twist on a political play as old as civilization.
In olden times, if you—a king, a president, or a chancellor—wanted to silence, subjugate, or just get rid of a certain portion of the populace, you might promote the idea that those people were racially impure, or, by dint of their social class or religious beliefs, a clear and present danger to the cohesion of your perfect nation. Of course, you would throw in some insinuations that these undesirables were filthy disease carriers, too, just for spice.
But now, we are starting with the premise that the unwanteds are disease carriers. And because we live in an age in which nearly all of humanity has rejected the idea of racial purity, an age in which the closest a person can get to vermin is to harbor racist beliefs—to accuse a person or group of racism is the most surefire way to dehumanize them.
Expect an escalation of this type of conflation in the coming months, as world leaders become more and more frustrated with the fact that a certain percentage of their countries’ populations will not bend or break in the face of increasingly draconian restrictions aimed at coercing people to get vaccinated against their will.
It’s not just the King in the North who’s advancing this type of dehumanizing rhetoric, though.
Earlier this week, French President Emmanuel Macron had some harsh words for the five million French who remain unvaccinated:
"We have to tell them: from 15 January, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema."
“When my freedoms threaten those of others, I become someone irresponsible. Someone irresponsible is not a citizen."
"I am not about pissing off the French people. But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy."
So in Macron’s view (informed undoubtedly by the secret memo that goes out monthly to globalist world leaders), a person who does not wish to be injected with the government’s recommended serum is a non-citizen.
How retro. We’ve entered the fascist-reconstructionist period.
And in case anyone’s scratching their heads trying to figure out what’s so bad about what Macron is saying, I’ll put it plainly for you. It’s only a small step from “non-citizen” to “non-person”, and from “piss them off” to “off with their heads.”
A little refresher from history:
As I was researching for this essay, I came across a video of Scottish commentator Neil Oliver, saying exactly what I wanted to say, except a hundred times better. I’m including it here for your edification. (Click the image to see the video.)
P.S. I had a lot more content planned for you this week, but alas, I am currently in bed with a case of the Covaids. Not to worry—I was well prepared with a regimen of cheap, safe, and effective drugs prescribed by my doctor for early treatment, and as of today, Day 3, I’m already beginning to feel better. I’m still accepting donations of chicken soup, though (see below.)
Thank you for reading!
