We are now facing a regime that is losing, is aware that it is losing, and wants at all costs to survive even if it means damning everyone else. That is the picture that we get, in bold strokes. In practice, there may be considerable divisions and emergent factionalism within the pandemicist
Nice work! Your threefold classification of pandemicist factionalism provides vaccine refusers with a means to confute and disrupt the regime narratives in differing social contexts. I only wish that you had broken the piece into two parts, the portion titled "Regime Media, Part 2" to be posted here at a later date. In my view that would increase the impact of your principal thesis.
In some ways it's a pity but social media tend to encourage pithiness.
I look forward to reading your next piece at "Disaster X"!
Yes, "Regime Media, Part 2" should have been separate--the odd thing is that I began with that, and then the idea of factions followed from it...so they ended up being lumped together.
Very interesting - I read closely; good to hear a report from Quebec - once one of my favorite places (Mt St Albert especially!) - now I am prohibited from entering (from the US).
I did some research on M. Duhaime - hoping to find a Northern DeSantis - sadly not - very much what we call a paleo-conservative; apart from the policy issues- seems very much a "set up" - Off Guardian has some comment about Kemi Badenoch now a leading candidate for UK Conservative Party leader - they advise: "You should always be suspicious of “surprise candidates” that “come out of nowhere”. Emmanuel Macron was one such, as was Vlodomyr Zelenskyy, and most famously Barack Obama. When a candidate suddenly streaks up the field, it’s more than likely because they’re being pushed."
Finally, I'd sure be interested in hearing what anthropological insight you could bring to what seems to have been a much greater resilience of rural communities to the Covid Operation - it is mentioned above briefly and was much commented on the US. Typical comment ran something like "Covid didn't really happen here (in rural such and such)"
Well, I can say that Duhaime did not come out of nowhere. He slowly built up a following over the past two years, by being one of the only mainstream type of politicians to openly criticize the authortitarian mandates and restrictions. So he is not a surprise candidate.
Perhaps in a subsequent piece I can address the rural question. Montreal really is an aberration in Quebec.
I will try to learn more about Duhaime - certainly sounds like he is not the WEF's man - what I called the paleo-conservative stuff - the weighting votes by net assets - almost guarantees that - that's from a couple centuries ago! At this point, just about anyone who can demonstrate that he or she is not a puppet on strings has my (figurative) vote.
The "regime that is losing ... " talk is quite the catching lead! - Personally, I have lost almost all confidence making these kinds of predictions. Did you happen to see K Schwab - at the meeting in late June saying: “we must prepare for an angrier world,” ? I surely don't know how to read that - is he "aware" that he is "losing" - or just signalling "we're ramping it up as planned" ...and then they go on to shut down farming in the Netherlands. Is that desperation or just the next slide on the powerpoint?
Why do you say he's a paleo-conservative? Pat Buchanan (the most knowledgeable man in America about American political history) is a paleo and not sure how Duhaime fits that mould. All I know is he's a viable option to Le 'Tit Tyrant.
I probably am not thoroughly conversant with the terms; worse, I still haven't found time to understand Duhaime better. I did understand that he advocates fundamental changes to voter suffrage laws - restricting voting rights to persons who own property. (Correct?) - I thought that counted as "paleo" at this point. More recently I saw that he promised that none of his ministers would have any WEF - (young global leader - like Trudeau) affiliations; but, that he had hired a real professional politician operative as campaign manager (Correct?).
In any case, one of the most discouraging outcomes of the Covid operation was "waking up" and finding that in no real sense is there a "political opposition" anywhere on the globe! - Is there a single political party that opposed in any sense, ANY element of the Covid operation? There are individuals - a Senator in Australia who said "I'm not putting that $hit [vax] in my body" - DeSantis [perhaps] in FL USA - not to forget, those in Trinidad with robust oppositional voices (chronicled here) - So, I agree with you - Duhaime - I hope is in that group and I hope he is, as you say, viable.
I agree with all that. There is no true opposition. Although Bernier and the PPC have made it crystal clear where they stand. But they have no power or seats. There are only pockets of people fighting back but not political parties. Which is a huge problem.
I haven't paid too much attention to Duhaime because to me the issue, for now, is to get Legault out of there. As for his platform and voting. The left is pushing to lower the voting age to 16. Between the two options, I'd take Duhaime. Maybe it should be for people who actually have skin in the game. Heck, you should take a test before voting. But these are secondary concerns to the one we must defeat: The Covid tyranny.
The Reason is to use Genocide to Solve Global Warming, using an Undeclared War Scenario.
The thrid group, Vandals, are heartless, as they seek to disolve our status as high-carbon burners.
No remorse, as this is planned by military-styled war-gamers, perhaps finalized in the conference rooms contracted by Jared Kushner for Donald Trump to the Advanced Technologies International, Inc., for Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax, AstraZeneca, and coordiated with Blackrock, State Street Bank, and Vanguard, etc.
Biden was supposed to be a 'return to decency'. Instead, it turns out he's the actual tyrant and not Trump. It was all projection all along. Remember when Trump gave a speech that was called 'dark' by the media (it was nothing of the sort. Now the same media is pretending it wasn't that bad when he pulled the other night.
When you say it's over, I agree. But does this apply to Canada as well because it feels as though we're laggards and may very well push this farther than anyone else given mandates remain in place and NACI's recent irresponsible suggestion. This comes on the heels of NIH okaying Ivermectin and a major study once and for all proving its effectiveness. And still no acknowledgement of natural immunity in Canada.

Thanks Douglas, much appreciated.

Thanks so much, Maximilian, for this insightful analysis.
