The Canadian truckers are expressing the universal human aspiration to act like an American even if you aren’t one
An op-ed in the Washington Post about the Canadian truckers’ protest tells us that the idea of freedom is “White” with a capital W and that the truckers’ belief in freedom is “a key component of White supremacy.” This is about as sensible as saying that the idea of gravity is “English” or that the Post reports the news. True, Newton’s apple fell in England and the Post looks like a newspaper, but gravity is universal. The same goes for stupidity, though that takes many forms, and for the impulse to be free, though that too takes many forms, some of them stupid.
Taylor Dysart, the author of this insult to reason, is a white PhD student at private Ivy League university. Color me shocked.
