How Elitist hypocrisy is giving rise to Populist revolt

“One way to determine if people mean what they say is to examine whether they take those principles seriously. When it comes to imposing job-killing and unnecessary mandates on once ‘essential’ workers or levying carbon taxes on the middle class or slowly strangling farmers, the elites are more than happy to be warriors for all the trendy causes. But when it comes to, you know, actually limiting their own carbon footprint? Nah. They live by their own standards—even socialist Bernie Sanders has three homes. Those globalist conferences that celebrities and world leaders flock to in their jets and yachts and helicopters? Those are for folks like Prince Harry, Justin Trudeau, and Leonardo di Caprio to figure out what new ideas they want to force on the rest of us.”

“In his recent book ‘Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution’, Tucker Carlson noted that nations can survive almost anything—except for leaders who despise the people they rule. People like truckers and frontline workers who don’t want to get vaccinated, or people like farmers who are struggling to make it after spending years trying to outfit their farms to conform to ever-changing green rules. When those people begin to feel the contempt of a ruling class that cares more for backslaps at Davos and the G7 Summit than for the interests of the common man, they start to get angry. And when that happens, we begin to see what we’re seeing now. Sometimes it’s just rigs parked in front of Parliament. But sometimes it’s protestors swimming in the pool at the presidential palace.”

it is not the hypocrisy but the implemented policies of Western governments that is provoking populist protests, which may become actual revolts.

Yes, but it is the hypocrisy, as well. Let us look to Martha’s Vineyard for some of that hypocrisy, which drives us to refuse to conform, to rebel, to think nasty thoughts of the elitists.

Oh, here is Tucker’s great …parody…of a documentary on what has happened just yesterday, I think. I adore Tucker, especially when he lets his hair go… :blush:

And then there’s Ken Burns in an interview acting horrified at DeSantis for “weaponizing human beings for a political purpose” by busing those illegals up there.
But he’s not in the least concerned about the fact that the Biden regime is doing the same thing to the entire country, only by the MILLIONS.

Do you think Ken Burns and his wife have any idea the hypocrisy behind their thinking? Could they be that clueless?

There is a great divide in ignorance versus awareness in this nation…thank you corporate media/social media.
