00:00:00.000 Things are getting worse and worse, and some people believe that at one point there's just
00:00:05.040 going to be a moment, a happening, where there's some sort of societal collapse, and I'm here to
00:00:10.620 tell you that I don't think that's going to happen. I'm a Canadian, my name's Greg, and with the
00:00:16.400 tabling of the Online Harms Act, which may potentially take away freedom of speech in
00:00:21.300 Canada, I've decided to start doing daily uploads using my free speech while we still have it.
00:00:29.180 I posted about the Online Harms Act last week, Bill C-63, they want to have thought crimes,
00:00:36.300 they want to redefine hate speech, they want to throw you in jail, put you on house arrest,
00:00:41.920 have you wear an ankle bracelet, if you say something that could be construed as hateful,
00:00:47.000 or someone can anonymously report you, and this was one of the replies, Circulon, good account,
00:00:53.160 I counter with hoping it goes through and immediately targets political dissidents on a massive scale
00:00:57.540 with a violent iron fist and brutal sentences. Let's just get this over with already. This is a
00:01:02.700 accelerationist argument, and this idea that if the government is brutal enough with their
00:01:10.080 authoritarianism, surely, surely people will do something about it. I do not think that's going
00:01:17.000 to happen. I think that what we saw with COVID, you know, especially in Western countries, people who are
00:01:23.440 addicted to their phones and they're addicted to leisure, and they're apathetic politically, the
00:01:30.220 majority of people are very apathetic politically, they just kind of want, they want, you know, they
00:01:35.640 want what's good for them. That's it. You know, they don't have time to care about politics. If it
00:01:41.560 doesn't affect them, they're not going to care. And we saw political dissidents being thrown in jail
00:01:48.580 after the trucker convoy. We already saw this. We saw truckers beaten in the street, you know,
00:01:53.620 horses trampling on people. And what happened then? You know, what was the big, what was the big kind of
00:02:01.420 resistance to that? Sure, a lot of people got upset and were saying, and like, it certainly
00:02:06.040 animated people and pushed people to care more. But that's a small, it's a small, small group, very,
00:02:12.980 very small, small, small group. And, you know, I'm just thinking of the time when Jeremy McKenzie
00:02:19.760 got thrown in jail multiple times, you know, what happened right at like, was there this huge,
00:02:26.560 like uprising of people who are like, that's enough? I mean, there was her, his fans were doing that in
00:02:32.900 it to an extent. But, you know, like, it's that this big sort of like tipping point that this person
00:02:42.140 is referring to, it, it didn't happen. Not beyond, not, it didn't break through into like, you know,
00:02:49.400 normal people. You could say maybe that the trucker convoy was a little bit like that got a lot of
00:02:54.260 people into the fold. But yeah, this, this idea that there's going to be a tipping point where,
00:03:02.060 you know, the government goes too far and like, you know, there's, there's some big
00:03:07.080 point. I don't, I don't see that happen. And if you're a corrupt regime, you don't want that to
00:03:15.620 happen. And in many ways, the convoy was potentially a miscalculation for, for this corrupt regime.
00:03:24.220 And I'll tell you what I think is much more likely to happen. And what I think the plan is,
00:03:29.340 instead of there being this sort of big moment, this big sort of accelerationist, and that's when
00:03:35.700 things changed, I think there's going to be a slow decay. I think we're seeing a slow, but sure
00:03:43.060 decay. You know, if you're someone who's, who's concerned about a civil war, a lot of people talk
00:03:47.220 about that. I don't like, I think we're already seeing what the civil war is going to look like
00:03:53.720 when people are beaten up in the street or, you know, there's murders on the subway. There's like
00:03:59.440 more and more violence happening in the streets, just randomly, not really connected to any sort of,
00:04:05.000 sometimes it's connected to some sort of political kind of conflict or whatever, but that's, that's
00:04:11.500 what the decay looks like. That's what the so-called like civil war, uh, I think will look like.
00:04:18.040 There's just going to be more and more violent incidences like that. There's going to be more
00:04:22.680 and more sort of, you know, things are going, just going to be increasingly unsafe. But the point is
00:04:28.280 because it's a slow decay, the people still sleep. The masses still sleep.
00:04:36.360 They're not going to care about, they're not going to see it like that. They're just going to say,
00:04:40.960 Oh, it's just another violent conflict. And same thing with it come when it comes to arresting
00:04:46.160 dissidents, getting the people that the corrupt regime doesn't like out of the way. When you think
00:04:51.880 of January 6th, when you think of even COVID, when you think of the trucker convoy or these other big
00:04:57.060 protests happening in Europe, you know, sure. There is a population of people that are becoming
00:05:03.000 more radicalized. They're becoming more politically active and that's a great thing. And that's something
00:05:07.380 that we, that is definitely valuable. Um, but this idea that there's going to be an event that's
00:05:14.460 going to change everything. And like, there's going to be societal collapse. Like I really,
00:05:18.800 really, really, really don't think that is ever going to happen, you know, because this idea of
00:05:24.860 societal collapse implies that normal people are going to be super radicalized and completely lose
00:05:31.640 trust in everything to do with the establishment. And it's going to be like, you know, that's going
00:05:36.760 to be, that would be nuts. If that happened, they would, they would lose that control. They would lose
00:05:42.120 that sense of authority and they don't want that with the slow decay. They get to do everything that
00:05:48.360 they want, you know, with, with specifically the political dissidents, January 6 trucker convoy
00:05:55.620 with it. As that happened, as these arrests happened, they still have such control over
00:06:01.660 narratives on TV and through the media and through these fake politicians that, you know,
00:06:05.760 everybody thinks it's fine. Everybody thinks that there's, there's something happening.
00:06:09.260 Somebody's going to like, you know, take care of us. Right. So this idea that there's just this
00:06:14.880 collapse that's going to happen. Uh, and then things are going to like ramp up. I, I really,
00:06:19.860 I really do not think that is in the cards and to bring it back to the online harms act. Someone
00:06:25.020 also said, I suggest we celebrate, celebrate online harms day by anonymously reporting each other. It
00:06:30.900 would be great to have the government investigating a million claims that would never be resolved.
00:06:34.360 For those who don't know, with this new online harms act, bill C 63, you can anonymously report
00:06:40.660 people and try to find them or arrest them based on, I don't know, receipts you find online based on
00:06:47.000 like angry memes that you tweeted or whatever. But I want to address this idea too, because it's,
00:06:54.460 it's really, it's honestly any version of, Hey, maybe we can use this bill to our advantage or Hey,
00:07:02.440 maybe we can use this bill against leftists or Hey, Hmm, maybe there is merits to this bill. No,
00:07:09.600 no, we already know the authoritarian ambitions of the Canadian regime. We know that from the
00:07:18.100 aftermath of the trucker convoy. I don't understand why, especially people who, who have seen that
00:07:25.020 give the Canadian establishment or these corrupt politicians, the benefit of the doubt. Hey,
00:07:30.020 maybe they're actually trying to do the thing. Maybe, maybe they're actually trying to create a bill
00:07:34.840 that's actually going to protect children. No, that's just the cover so they can gain power and
00:07:40.880 control people. You know, like why are we giving them the benefit of the doubt? That's bothered me
00:07:46.160 so much since the trucker convoy, even true North and rebel news will give these corrupt bureaucrats who
00:07:54.180 they write reports about constantly that they're corrupt bureaucrats, but no, they're, they're going to
00:07:59.100 give them the benefit of the doubt once again. Well, maybe they're actually writing this bill because
00:08:03.820 they actually want to do something about it. No, they want more power. They want more power so they
00:08:07.860 can silence their political opponents. Duh. The people who are actually capable of potentially
00:08:14.660 creating a meaningful resistance that could exist in the world of politics that could reach normal
00:08:22.660 people, these apathetic people, the leaders, the people with charisma who could potentially,
00:08:29.780 you know, I don't want to say overthrow, that's probably not a good word, but who could potentially
00:08:34.680 poke enough holes in the establishment for, to drain the swamp. You know, these charismatic people,
00:08:40.860 the establishment wants to shut these people up, make their lives a living hell. And bill C 63,
00:08:48.940 the online harms act is the perfect tool to do that. And this idea that all of a sudden these apathetic
00:08:55.360 people, all of a sudden these apathetic masses are just going to start caring all of a sudden.
00:09:01.500 That's not, that's not going to happen. And especially not when the people who are in control,
00:09:07.000 when the people who are passing these bills to get more control, you know, it's when they get more
00:09:12.260 control and then they can just use more state forces to intimidate people. They're going to make
00:09:17.920 sure that it's, you know, they're going to try not to overplay their hand. We kind of have an
00:09:21.880 advantage because the trucker convoy happened and they did overplay their hand. The problem is a lot
00:09:27.440 of the people who we think should be championing that and leading that are actually kind of just
00:09:32.140 part of the establishment. It turns out, of course, I'm talking Pierre Polyev. Of course,
00:09:36.180 I'm talking rebel news, true North. Uh, they seem to be perfectly comfortable having Pierre Polyev in
00:09:41.620 control who to this day has really not even said a word about the trucker convoy and what it was
00:09:46.960 actually about. Anyway, I'm going to try to make daily videos like this talking about bill C 63 and
00:09:54.200 how we need to stop because when it comes to freedom of speech, if you don't use it, you'll lose it.
