After decades of being abandoned by the Left, workers across the world organized the most effective working class protest in recent memory demanding the right to work on their own terms. The response from liberal elites like this Harvard prof/CNN contributor? "Slash their tires."

For elites who work in knowledge industry jobs at Harvard and CNN, the economy is about trade. For working class people like the protesting truckers, it's about jobs and the right to work. That gap explains a lot about why the Left abandoned the working class.
The entire pandemic has foreshadowed this, but it's just remarkable to see liberal elites gleefully thinking up ways to destroy working class jobs. Truly, a mask off couple of years.

If you want to know who the ruling class is, look at who is freaking out about a worker revolution.
The truckers are going to win because they have nothing to lose. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for everyone in power to totally exploit and demean and develop contempt for the people we actually need for literally every facet of our lives! 🙃
"Slash their tires" is psychotic! Calling them fascists is psychotic! Seeing a single Nazi flag as evidence that they are all white supremacists is psychotic! The liberal media is pushing this not because it's true but because they see in the truckers' power a threat to their own
"We hate you and look down on you because the economy we built made us so much richer than you, now do everything we say right now or starve."
