itarian Left

Have you noticed the recent trend of true liberals leaving the left? You’ll see it on Substackand otherplaces. People you would normally consider to be on the “left” side of the political spectrum have shifted, in a relative sense, toward the pro-freedom side. It’s a case of the fringe far left leaving everyone else behind, as epitomized in the Elon Musk meme, which showed him in the same place on the political spectrum. At the same time, the insane leftists moved off the scale.

I’m probably late to the party, but the latest gossip about the Authoritarian Left involves the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) deciding to deplatform an entire symposium on sex and gender in anthropology—all because of the claim that it could cause mental “harm”to some people.

Steve Bell, the interim police chief in Ottawa, has threatened Canadian residents that anybody who supports the nonviolent Freedom Convoy will be “hunted down” and “ruined” for speaking out against the government. On Saturday, Bell warned, “If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges.” “This investigation will go on for months to come,” he added.
