Two stories have come out over the last month.
One: lower-class Scottish girls who don’t want to be part of a Pakistani rape gang.
The other: Canadian flight attendants going on strike for better pay.
Both reveal the same pattern: one group thinks of their country as one team, the other sees the lower perceived status in their country as the enemy. It’s a dynamic you can’t ignore. Half of your neighbors hate you and want you to suffer, and the worst part is they don’t even know it, or they do and lie to themselves about it. I don’t think they know they are Champaign socialists, but they don’t care.
The first story comes from Dundee, Scotland, where a girl brandished a machete and a hatchet, yelling at a migrant to stop attacking her sister. If an argument bubbles inside your head, just pretend I said “allegedly,” so we don’t end up on a podcast screaming at each other.
Typical for the UK, there is widespread anger among ordinary citizens over Pakistani rape gangs, often with government assistance, who have been trafficking and raping children for twenty years or more. The “managerial class” largely ignored it, while the “commoners” are edging closer to a boogaloo. It has become a rallying point for anti-migrant sentiment in the isles. The “managerial class” cries racism; the “commoners” cry for fair application of justice.
The second story is about CUPE — the Canadian Union of Public Employees — which represents both the federal civil service and staff at most crown corporations. They are taking Air Canada’s non-management staff out on strike over pay. Their grievance is that flight attendants are only paid once the aircraft door closes, not for boarding, delays, or prep work. The airline says higher wages already compensate for that. The workers disagree.
Typical for Canada, the airline enjoys a cozy relationship with Ottawa. A former crown corporation, it still handles government flights and ministers. The government signaled early it would declare the strike illegal and force staff back to work. CUPE ignored the order and walked out anyway. The “managerial class” applauded: brave workers standing up for their economic rights. The “commoners” also agree that the government screwed them over economically. However, CUPE, along with the “managerial class,” saw the exact scenario during the Canadian Convoy, the largest protest in Canadian history over bodily autonomy and the right to work. The “managerial class” cried racism; the “commoners” cried for fair application of justice.
The same people cheering on a government back-to-work mandate also cheered the stormtroopers stomping on old ladies with horses, gleefully admitting to assaulting truckers during Senate hearings.
The stories themselves are stories of injustice, perceived or real. That’s not the important part. What matters here are the reactions.
The mainstream media painted them along clear class lines. The dirty poor and working class are racist and breaking the law; we are a nation of laws. The “managerial class” are noble defenders of the people against the government and the racists, ensuring a law fair to all. Or put simply:
Poor people, or people who work with their hands: bad
The “managerial class”: good
Everything else is commentary. Scroll through social media and you see the same pattern: poor, low-class people bad; high-class government employees good. I’m not a useless college student, so I won’t map that to Marxist jargon, but I know commie buggery when I see it. The kids call it “bougie.”
It’s playing out on social media as well, so don’t take my word for it — watch and see for yourself.
“You don’t understand, Dundee is where the scum live. They’re criminals.” Not said outright, but heavily implied. It’s one thing to reserve judgment until facts are known, it’s another to instinctively dismiss your own countrymen and assume the most relevant fact is their low class, dirty vulgarity.
Well, I think the word part was the raping.
“How can you compare flight attendants looking for a livable wage with racists who tried to cause an insurrection and take over the government?” It’s easy to dismiss people when you dehumanize them. You argue over principle, while they retort with feelings and a far more venomous class of hate. The intolerance of intolerance is the pinnacle of tolerance, or something. Communist babble if you ask me.
It’s easy for “commoners” to see the equal struggle in both. Canada’s economy is in shambles. We are more than a decade into stagnation with almost no growth. Inflation has erased roughly 20% of people’s earnings and savings. Everyone feels it. People with leverage are starting to use it, and Air Canada staff have their union. Most people don’t like that inflation has gone crazy while wages have effectively been reduced, and assets like housing have skyrocketed. We are all in this together.
Which sounds great, except these same people called Canadian truckers “Nazis” when they did the exact same thing in 2020.
The conversations repeat like a script:
“So you’re glad employees ignored a legal order that was unjust, just like the convoy?”
“No, that’s different. The vaccine didn’t cause harm, and they were wrong to fight it.”
“So it’s OK when you defy unjust orders, but not when they do?”
“Our cause is just, theirs was evil. Why do you hate women?”
And the “managerial class” retorts over the Dundee girls are even worse:
“Is there any actual evidence that the 14-year-old girl brandishing an axe and a knife was bravely defending her 12-year-old sister from migrant aggressors, or is this just another propaganda slop story that people who really should know better are falling for?” — @freddiesayers
Off topic, but local internet satirist @howlingmutant0 has the best quote on this:
“For all we know, she was trying to sexually assault THEM.”
Half the country hates the other half. The other half doesn’t, yet. What happens when that naïve patience runs out? I don’t know the answer, but we may be watching it unfold in real time. Once the “commoners” start to hate the “managerial class” the way the “managerial class” hate them, things will go downhill fast.
Allegedly.
Ps: she has been arrested
Why do you need 15 big boy cops and not the dainty girl boss cops to arrest a 14 year old and drag her through the streets? Depending on who you ask, it's either a humiliation ritual to act as a general deterrent to local self defense, or a government that's terrified of a local Boogaloo so they bring enough force to deter William Wallace. Either way, it's a very strong visual that gets everyone riled up. It's like everyone wants this to be Scotland's Mohamed Bouaziz
Go Tunisia!

Softbone: Down and out in New Kowloon
Jakov quickly got bored and looked around. Something was weird. He couldn’t put his finger on it. Something with the people. One guy looked up from his phone, then another. They were losing balance, falling onto the street. No one noticed, or cared. Jakov walked over to one of them to check.
He shook the man on the shoulder, “Hey, buddy, you okay?” He looked peaceful, but the fall tore the sleeve on his suit. It was nicer than anything Jakov could afford. The man must work in Amazon’s government HQ. He had a bandage on his hand. The Amazon logo overtop a cotton swab, which everyone at the facility received. Jakov recoiled.
Was it the Retro4, or was it the vax?
