I’m beginning to wonder about the lack of ability of Canadian centrists to analyze conservative’s strategy.

When will the majority of centrists begin to understand we are in the midst of an information war.

This article is a bomb sent from AB conservatives.

What is the visceral emotion the decal and the Greta decal immediately provoke in anyone that has a modicum of ethics and morals?

Disgust.

Unmitigated disgust.

Rightfully so.

But then those who experience this disgust, transfer those feelings to an entire province of people. Completely writing off every citizen that lives within the boundaries of Alberta.

Now, why would a political group want to amplify the disgust for citizens of Alberta?

If you don’t know the answer to that question, you should really not be opining on the meaning of these decals. You aren’t qualified to make an assessment. You’re part of the psychological manipulation of the Canadian population.

I mean that with the greatest of respect.

Take a step back and look at your response.

Human beings categorize information and discriminate, without giving thought to the consequences of their human instincts.

It is indubitably disgusting to portray rape of a child and murder of protesters.

But why would some believe this is acceptable? The answer is they don’t. They know this is beyond the pale. You’d have to be psychologically unbalanced to accept this as a “joke” or normal.

It’s Provotskiya.

It’s a Russian Kremlin method to cause division amongst the population of a nation. Long practiced by Russians. A well known tactic.

You may want to question why Alberta Conservative political operatives are using a Russian tactic to divide the nation.

These are well researched and well known strategies.

Here’s an article that documents them and provides suggestions on how to counter these tactics. dailykos.com/story/2017/8/2…

But first you need to recognize you are being manipulated.

Which in this instance you are being manipulated professionally.

Not only have political operatives sent this Provotskiya out into Twittersphere and Facebook, MSM is amplifying it wildly, without any restraint.

So back to the question... why would Alberta conservatives want to create this controversy?

Several reasons come to mind.

1. Alberta is currently holding mass protests against the UCP government. Inspiring disgust for Albertans reduces Albertan citizens’ national support.

2. The creators of the decals say they are jokes. Funny images, an attempt at humour. Centrist disgust is being played as anti-democratic & an attempt to censor free speech. Collective disgust is being used to demonstrate con supporters that their free speech is being restrained.

3. Wexit is a secessionist movement originating in Alberta. The leader of the Wexit movement is a far right operative working to build support for Alberta’s secession and/or annexation by US. This disgust only provides fuel to build support.

4. Jason Kenney has been dog whistling to far right goons encouraging vigilantism and anarchy. It’s obvious and echoed by national conservative politicians. This incident gives Kenney & UCP opportunity to publicly denounce for plausible deniability in their recent fomentation.

But guaranteed, these beliefs and values are fostered, promoted and encouraged by UCP politicians and their supporters privately.

5. The national reaction of disgust amplifies the far right message “might is right” and “it’s only a crime to the virtue signalling left.”

Thus why it would be advantageous for centrists seek to understand what is being done in Canada.

Conservatives are fostering hatred and amplifying hate speech narratives using Kremlin inspired Provotskiya tactics.

Cons are driving wedge issues to manipulate narratives.

Cons are psychologically manipulating all Canadians to advance their agenda and meet their interests. One of which is the eradication of the social norms, allowing bullying to be acceptable and vigilantes to take matters into their own hands.

React to that, not disgusting provocation that helps cons undermine this nation.

Understand when you’re being psychologically manipulated. A big clue is a visceral emotional response is elicited based on fear, rage or disgust.

And for the love of god, stop saying these miscreants represent Alberta. They don’t. They are the minority. A loud disgusting minority. But a minority nonetheless.

UCP was elected by about 1/3 of Albertans, 1/3 stayed home and didn’t vote because of demoralizing propaganda, & 1/3 voted for other parties.

These type of cretins are found in every society, and yours is no different. What’s different is our government is fostering this disgusting behaviour.

Condemn UCP. They are the problem. Remember Rachel Notley? She’s actually Albertan. Kenney is an opportunist from elsewhere.

This is the product of cons fomenting anger, rage, disgust, removing norms, and focussing centrists attention on decals that are purposely placed to distract & provoke. It drives the wedge deeper and divides us to extremes using disgust & rage.
