It’s been awhile since I checked in with my friend the Canadian Commie, and when I watched him again I remembered why.<\/p>\n
I was curious about what’s going on with the Canadian truckers, thousands of them revolting against ‘conditions’ and vax mandates in particular. I was hoping to hear good news–was this the thing that might kick off a real worker’s revolution?<\/p>\n
CC says it isn’t.<\/a><\/p>\n And I find his reasoning to be depressingly convincing.<\/p>\n It was much the same with his take on the Ukraine story<\/a>.<\/p>\n This man feels right to me on more or less everything, but he’s not up to a thousand subs yet, and therefore his channel hasn’t even been monetized. Getting the last 87 that he needs is not going to be any kind of guarantee either, not with ‘capitalist death cult’ in so many of his titles.<\/p>\n Compare this with a characteristically jaunty Jon Stewart take on Qanon, in conversation with a similarly wired rogue of a BBC reporter<\/a>. They’re thoughtful and mostly right about everything they say too. But the main difference isn’t one of tone, or Jon’s way with humor.<\/p>\n The main difference is that their cuts are skin deep, and they’re speaking first to entertain, and only incidentally to truly inform.<\/p>\n They have good fun with Qanon’s scatterbrained take on Hillary Clinton and Pizzagate, where she was supposedly keeping child sex slaves underneath a pizza parlor. (Spoiler alert: She wasn’t.) And, to their credit, they even briefly entertain the notion that Pizzagate was a parable of sorts.<\/p>\n But it stops there, with the recognition that the funny crazy people might have some kind of point …<\/p>\n And there’s no mention of the fact that the point is not just a parable. There are facts to support it, not just wrong guesses.<\/p>\n Bill Clinton was very, very close with Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n
