Zero Tolerance for Criticism

 

Friend Xerxes writes of a recent visit to a clinic, and notes in passing “The clinic had the usual signs posted, that they would not tolerate abusive speech or action directed at the staff.”

As this illustrates, these signs have become ubiquitous in Canada. And they make me deeply uneasy. You do not see such signs in the Philippines, or Saudi Arabia, or Korea. 

Is it because Canadians are more inclined to be rude or abusive than these other nationalities?

Of course not. Canadians are notoriously polite.

This is a power move. The entrenched civil service, what they call in the USA the Deep State, or in the UK “the blob,” is asserting their sovereign authority. Letting us know who is really in charge. They are reminding the common people of their place.

This is what fascism is, in practice. It is the government bureaucrats asserting absolute power. People do not see it, because they are blinded by Marxist theory. They imagine the struggle for power is between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bureaucrats can masquerade as the supposed vanguard or defenders of the proletariat against those “greedy capitalists.” Who may be Jewish.

Canadians are far down the road to fascism, without seeming to know it.
