Backlash Media

Their are plenty of Canadians who are simply not well educated on politics. These are good people who are living their lives working, raising families, and maybe have a bit of time to follow what the government is doing. Often, I meet people that tell me around election time they vote for a specific party because of a very small benifit. Usually, the liberal party. I do not blame people for wanting to vote for a party that is, in their mind.. most benificial to them. In reality, most people don’t realize what they are giving up when they vote for more government takeover. A lot of families dont know that today’s benefits Is only putting the future generation in more national debt!

There are two word’s that can perfectly shape up how the last decade ended. 2019 was the birth of the super woke “cancel culture” movement. Cancel culture is basically a hybrid of the #metoo movement, that took down an army of men in Hollywood, and executives in the elite media press. However, what makes cancel culture the champion of the last decade is that you don’t actually have to do anything wrong.

Step 1: Choose a platform

Step 2: Express opinion

Step 3: Attract fanbase

Step 4: Create source of self-income

Step 5: Create source of income for the platform you choose

Step 6: Lose everything

Congratulations you have just been Cancelled Cultured!!!

Throughout 2019 we have seen what people are calling a “purge” of social media accounts being de-platformed for expressing opinions that people have had since the beginning of their careers. I will not list out everyone who is on this list of honor. Because, I am sure everyone has someone that has been affected by righteous cause. Now, when we look at the #metoo moment there was a lot of exposure to a lot of bad apples in which brought justice to people that deserved to be heard. I hate to say it, and this might sound crazy. But things may have gone too far? I mean, things going too far in the 21st century? Who would have thought? Cancel culture is a different beast. It knows if you are different, it knows when you speak, it knows when you tweet, it doesn’t matter your age, experience, qualifications, it’s watching you. You are a soldier marching in the North Korean army, step out of line and you will be executed. With the cancel culture train chugging along Canada jumped right at the first stop. It’s not even surprising to say that Canada has even jumped on the express train of cancel culture. Canada’s biggest victim to get hit by the culture train has been the beloved face of hockey night in Canada, Coach’s Corner, Don Cherry. Being in the month of January 2020 it is safe to assume that if you are Canadian you already know what happened to Don, so I will leave that part out, and we will focus more on what all of this exactly means. Rogers Communications is a Canadian based company that along a few other companies in Canada are gods. There is not a single stadium in Canada that hosts professional sports that doesn’t have the words “rogers” or one of Canada’s elite banks slapped on every inch of surface available. This year for the first time, Rogers communications has purchased the rights to the “CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada”. Hmm, a multi-billion-dollar company purchasing what has been a tax funded program is in itself a very interesting story. However, I will save that for another time. By the way, let me know when I get cut a check for selling off part of the business I technically have funded since I started working at 16.

2020 - trust in mainstream media is at an all time low

2020 - trust in government is at all-time low

2020 - threats of freedom is at an all time high

2020 - polls show people are against foreign wars

2020 - American election, with both parties being so unelectable remind people there is an alternative teach people to embrace true liberty. Jacob hornberger is the answer?

2020 - Canadains are divided with split government is a constant reminder of how incapable governments are. Teach people government is not the answer. There IS alternatives!

Today I spent a lot of time writing my first big blog on the subject of the attack on General Qasem Soleimani as I was filling in the tags on Tumblr with #antiwar the computer crashed and therefore, making me restart from scratch. First lesson I learned, I will always write out my blogs on Microsoft word, then will post on to tumblr to avoid having that issue again. My style of writing is very freestyled, So, in this particular case will be very hard to mimic what I previously wrote, but I will give it a shot…

Today, we learned that the United States has attacked and killed General Qasem Soleimani. As I do not have personal social media such as facebook, and twitter, I normally get my news by checking out a couple of my favorite websites. However, the first source I saw today was a conservative talking head praising Donald Trump for the attack. Quote: “This attack will prevent future attacks on US soil”. Remember: A similar quote was used to justify attacking Iraq after an attack from an Afghani terrorist organization called al-Qaeda. Something very similar is happening today. An apparent threat on a US embassy fortress in Iraq was threatened and therefore, justifies attacking a completely different country? The logic that goes behind this attack is as follows “If someone were to break into your house, and you defeated them with a shotgun, future threats of people breaking into your house will decrease”. This was quoted by the conservative talking this morning. As a Libertarian I believe that quote to be true. However, that argument is just as weak as the argument to stay occupied in any of these middle eastern countries. First, the US embassy was not under large threat, and there is absolutely no evidence that Soleimani was plotting or behind any direct threat to the US. If someone approached, you and said, “I think that guy over there is plotting to break into your house”. Is your initial reaction to grab a shotgun and kill him?

I have also heard today that the #1 trending topic on twitter is #WWIII – I am all for antiwar awareness. However, this is NOT the start of WWIII, this is another media tactic. They will de-sensitize people of the term WWIII and in a few weeks maybe months from now people will think of it as a joke and move on. What will really happen is 5,000-10,0000 more troops will move into the middle east, which will keep the military complex machine turning, at the expense of innocent bloodshed and tax-paying dollars, coverage will slowly disappear, and business will go on as usual.

B@CKLASH – spread the real reason why this is happening (blood of innocent people for military profits).

Under a minority government virtually nothing gets done. Their is a chance that re-election could happen sooner than later. However, as Libertarians we can see this as just another example of government failure. Every single day our tax dollars go to an incapable government with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Question every Canadian should ask

Why are we paying taxes to a government that cannot do its job?

You can guarantee nothing will get done until the next election

George W. Bush - lied the American people into a war in Iraq 

Barak Obama - started 4 wars without asking congress
