The preening loon evidence



When looking at events in Canada, more than a few people are bound to wonder how the blue blazes Justin Trudeau ever became Prime Minister. Even from this side of the Atlantic he comes across as a preening woke loon.

Not a genuine question in that hardly anyone would seriously ask it, but was he really elected? Of course he was – in spite of Biden we have to believe that don’t we? But a ceaseless barrage of media misinformation is a powerful way to interfere with elections.

Democracy is not supposed to be a circus, but it is and Justin is evidence that democratic establishments mean to keep it that way. The preening woke loon is so obviously a preening woke loon. He doesn’t even hide it, doesn’t appear to know how and it doesn’t appear to matter anyway.

It is bound to raise questions about democracy and how majorities are manipulated to be majorities. At least Justin shows us how easy it must be.

Members of the elite select other elite people for jobs. There's a whole raft of activity, such as bestowing patronage, defending the elite from criticism (much of it not consciously organised) and the methods keep working.

Until they don't. Every now and again there's a seismic shock which tumbles previously secure Establishment views. In the UK the Tories switch 'foundational' policies every few decades to retain their grip on power. Labour have not yet been prepared to do this, altough Tony Blair came sooo close.

The system breaks at its weakest point, though. The truckers and their supporters have seen through him, and he seems to know this.

DJ - yes, patronage is a major factor in the way it holds together and maintains elites as elites. A modern problem seems to be lack of experience beyond elite bubbles such that elites can be genuinely dim.

Sam - he does seem to know it and with luck things will never be quite the same.

We have two preening loons! How can we keep both of them in check?

James - you mean it would use up the internet?

Tammly - we can't, many more are standing in the queue.
