The regime not even trying to argue that the truckers are wrong, and instead focusing all their energy attacking them as “bad” people—Nazi, racist, etc.—has a few important implications:
1. This is a weak frame that betrays a lack of confidence to withstand dissent
2. They are betting (correctly imo) that normie support for/against is driven almost entirely by which side is believed to be more virtuous
Which means the truckers can and should escalate this and call whatever bluffs are coming. The regime is on the ropes here and should be forced into submission…but this must be done in such a way that does not undermine the truckers’ moral standing…
This is very difficult to do against an opponent that are lying scum perpetrating an ongoing psywar in coordination with journos and tech gatekeepers, but it is the challenge before us and one I think the regime will lose.
The 5G war is on boys and this is what the battlefield looks like. The underlying substantive issue is almost irrelevant, except as a test of what the regime can impose on its people. This is critical territory. Support the truckers unconditionally. They must not back down.
