The following was excerpted from a recent article by Brandon Smith, a freelance journalist who often contributes to the personalliberty.com website:
No one liberty-minded, or sane, likes the political left. This is not a shocking revelation. As I have been outlining for the past few years, leftists are the only people in the country that consistently support draconian government policies and oppressive corporate monopoly.
They are the only people that support mass censorship of opposing viewpoints through Big Tech and social media. They are the only people demanding the de-platforming and "canceling" of public personalities that dare to utter conservative views, or any views really, that are contrary to the leftist narrative. They are the only group that has a vast majority in support of the authoritarian Covid lock-downs and mandates. They are the only people that aggressively call for forced vaccinations of the populace. They are the only people demanding that the Unvaxxed be removed from their jobs, or face potential criminal charges. They are the only people that push for the indoctrination of school children with Critical Race Theory (which is essentially racism repackaged as academic study). And, they are also the only people that are hyper-obsessive about propagating sexual politics in public schools.
These folks are exceedingly unlikable. One would think that they would remain on the very fringes of society where they can do little harm, but this has not been the case. Why? Well, it's not because they are the majority, at least not in any traditional way. They are actually a tiny minority. However, they are highly organized, single minded (some would say hive-minded), and, they have the full support of our national power structures.
Here's the thing — a lot of Conservatives wrongly assume that the political left has become some kind of autonomous force within our culture that has the power to influence massive government and corporate interests, bending these interests to their will. This is simply not true. The reality is that it's the opposite dynamic; it is government and corporate, and decidedly Globalist institutions, which have direct influence and control over the political left. Leftists are tools of the Globalist system, they are not some "grassroots" movement "sticking it to the patriarchy." They are all slaves on the Globalist plantation and many of them don't even know it.
Where do the leftists of the Social Justice Cult actually derive their power from? Is it the pervasive threat of mob violence?
No, it's not. Ask yourself, when was the last time you saw an organized police presence and riot response to leftist mobs looting and burning down cities? In almost every case the police are told to stand down by city officials; they are told to do nothing. I have seen actual riot control used against actual peaceful protesters at events like G20. I have witnessed it personally, and it's not pretty. When cops actually want to control and disperse a crowd, they have a lot of weapons in their arsenal to make this happen. The fact is, leftist riots continue for days at a time exactly because they are allowed to continue for days at a time.
What about the prevalence of "Cancel Culture" and the use of online mobs to discredit or de-platform people that leftists don't like? This has been working less and less because the rest of the public has been made aware of the tactic through the tireless efforts of the alternative and liberty media, but for around four years the leftists had free rein to destroy the lives and careers of anyone they pleased. Just look at Gina Carano as a prime example of Cancel Culture in action. Even today, one cannot go on YouTube and speak the truth about anything. The truth-teller is immediately banned. The same 'Censorship Protocol' holds true across major Internet platforms.
The problem is, leftists would have no power to cancel anyone without the constant support of Big Tech, Hollywood, the mainstream media and international corporations. These companies don't actually care what Social Justice warriors think, and they're certainly not afraid of a tiny minority of lunatics with zero consumer leverage. Yet, they are the base of control that allows leftists to wield legitimate tools for deconstructing people's lives. The corporate world aids the leftists because leftist goals serve corporate interests (for now).
And what about government overall? I remember a few years ago I warned people that the extreme end of the leftist spectrum would become the norm for the Democratic Party by the time Trump was out of office. I noted that people like AOC and Ilhan Omar were the intended future successors of the party and that cultists like them would dictate the Democrat platform. Many people said that I was crazy and that the rise of Trump indicated that the opposite would happen. Now look at them.
Biden and half of all Democratic leaders spout off about White supremacy and Social Justice on a regular basis. The party has become exactly what is was always intended to become — a vehicle for Communist dominance. Regular democrats and moderates might not agree with this kind of extreme ideological zealotry, but most of them keep their mouths shut because they are fearful of being labeled heretics and cast out. Being called a "bigot" or "misogynist" or "racist" only works on people that actually care and think those words still have meaning. In other words, most of the Social Justice control mechanism are designed to control other leftists, not free thinkers.
Leftists would have no political influence at all without the avid support of leaders within the Democratic party. The politicians give leftists the teeth they use to bite the ankles of their opponents.
This brings us to the underlying center of all sociopolitical influence — the Globalist foundations. Where do leftist groups get all the funding to launch organizations like Black Lives Matter? How do programs like Social Justice and CRT find their way into college academia and all the way down to the public school system? What is the source for Cultural Marxism, and how did it become so pervasive in the first place?
Globalist foundations like Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Tavistock Institute, George Soros' Open Society Foundation, etc. are usually the source of the seed money for most leftist movements. For examples, Open Society and Ford Foundation, partnered with Borealis Philanthropy, were key in the creation of BLM, funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into the movement in its early days.
