I keep coming back to this article that was posted in I think the Joe Biden thread.
“A lot of people are feeling relieved, or saying they’re ‘grateful to Admiral Yamamoto’ because there hasn’t been a single air raid. They’re very wrong: the fact that the enemy hasn’t come is no th…

It literally predicted the Trucker Convoy 3 months ago.
In the conflict between the ”woke” and the ”deplorables”, the latter by and large work the kind of jobs where if people walk off the job, it takes days or even hours before one or more critical parts of modern society starts shutting down. If pilots call in sick, planes simply do not get flown. If truckers quit their jobs, every facet of the entire productive economy – from the smallest bakery to the biggest car manufacturer – will quickly become paralyzed and then starts to suffocate. If firemen refuse to go to work, the cities will quite literally burn down in short order.
But what happens if people at the average NGO stop showing up to work? What happens if an university professor in critical gender studies refuses to come into the office until this or that issue is solved? How many months or years will it take for the average citizen in flyover America to notice that this person is missing? And when they finally do notice that some gender commissar is refusing to show up at work, will they even care?
Ok, that might be a stretch. But pretty damned close.
See, the Japanese had a plan in Pearl Harbor. Force America into a single decisive battle, and then shock and awe them into the negotiation table. But after Pearl Harbor America didn't do that. They took their sweet time reacting. And a day or two after the Pearl Harbor attack... the smarter of the Japanese military knew they were fucked, it was just a matter of time. They NEEDED America to overreact, to respond instantly, to come to a single bigass fight where Japan was ready and America wasn't... because the alternative was to let America get ready and a fully ready America would completely steamroll Japan.
The election rigging in America was the "Email Caste" vs Everyone Else. The Email Caste did their Cultural Pearl Harbor -- a massive overwhelming attack, where every media outlet, every NGO, every corporation, every big tech company, every academic,
everyone worked together to defeat the evil Deplorables and their Orange Manbad Leader. They even bragged about this in Time Magazine afterwards. And having had their big decisive fight, and "winning" against them, the Truckers and the Firemen and the Janitors were supposed to go back to being the forgotten nobodies that keep society running so the Email Caste can be in charge and the only ones who's opinion matters, especially politically. Give them another 10-20 years of unfettered rule while they imported various flavors of brown people to literally replace the Deplorables, or at least weaken their political power forever.
But... that's not what happened, is it? Trump didn't just roll over and die. The MAGA types didn't just go "welp, guess I'll go back to work, the game's rigged and we can't win." (Not that the blackpill moles haven't tried their fucking damnedest to push the right into this.) Instead, they got fucking PISSED.
And now the Email Caste doesn't really have any additional power to bring forward. There's no mainstream media outlets they can force to go woker. There's no social media company they can demand go woker. There's no colleges they can demand go woker. And even if there were, the other side has stopped giving a shit about them. What you saw in November 2020 was the height of the current Woke Email Caste's political power, and it only BARELY defeated Trump, and had to cheat in such a blatant way that it damn near destroyed the system and may have caused irreparable damage to the wokies. Even the Administration in the US can't do basic government functions becuase they did so much damage to themselves in 2020.
Meanwhile, the Deplorables -- the Truckers and the Janitors and the Factory workers and the people who actually do shit for a living, they're waking up to the fact that
society needs them to function at a basic level.
As the political cartoon says (I'd include it, but Google is literally shadowbanning all pro-Convoy political cartoons and right wing political cartoonists on this matter): "It has become apparent to us that you need us to provide you your food."
Behind every "PLEASE GOD STOP HONKING" from some soycuck on Reddit, or some barely contained "can't we just fucking KILL THEM" from some insane, barely above Dog Catcher politician on a Zoom Call, is a desperate thought, one that the Wokies will never fucking admit to themselves in a million years. It's the same thought that Isoroku Yamamoto captured so succinctly after Pearl Harbor:
I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.
The Honkening is part of the flyover states, the working class, the deplorables, the intentionally forgotten political caste in the West waking up and realizing they're in a culture and political war with a Woke Email Caste that not only fucking HATES them but will do anything in their power to reduce them to serfs. Shine on, you crazy leaf bastards. To this day I never thought it'd be Conservative Leafs that threw the first stone.
