I think we’re more complicit than that…conservative parties from around the world meet to coordinate policy in a group chaired by Stephen Harper: the perversely named IDU. A truly terrifying group that rank and file conservatives haven’t heard of or will downplay as soon as they hear about it. All while they pretend the WEF is a progressive construct and not a conservative one.
Ya, a lot of people don't realize there's this global coordinated effort and Harper is helping lead it.
I didn't know he was still leading it, but at the time years ago I did.
As far as I’m aware he’s presently the chair.
It’s not some make-work think tank…it’s a deeply influential policy control apparatus that makes most media guilty of gross malpractice for not keeping tabs on. It’s an umbrella that has groups across the full demographic spectrum.
Conservative parties across the globe are sharing information about what propaganda/outright lies works and what doesn’t. Liberal and progressive parties have no such apparatus that keeps them in messaging lockstep.
It’s exactly what conservatives conspiracy theorize that the WEF and other “globalist” entities do for “liberals”.
Wouldn't be surprised if they're behind the global targeting of trans people in the latest messaging.
It’s not a secret that transphobia is a top wedge issue for conservatives. The IDU is absolutely focus grouping the rhetoric into easily digestible talking points.
We already know there’s an online eco system that floats all of the talking points…the IDU consolidates the information and disseminates what tests well to the various groups, like the IDWU or IDYU (women, youth) who then translate it into a language their demographic will respond to and take out ads, meet with podcasters, etc
