How is a white rapper from Canada spearheading a cultural revolution that is undermining cancel culture, wokeism, the Biden administration, and everything the left values?
Cultural revolutionaries come in all shapes and sizes. Be they musicians, painters, filmmakers, or novelists, the one thing they have in common is that their message has such resonance that it can actually re-shape society by influencing the hearts and minds of all those exposed to it.
The last time America went through a widespread cultural revolution was in the 1960s, with the rise of the counter-culture movement which saw a dramatic shift from traditional establishment values and norms to ones spearheaded by hippies who were anti-war, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, pro-women’s rights, and all about free-love, recreational drugs, and raging against everything propped up by the white male patriarchy.

But now, close to 60 years after the rise of that movement, the counter-culture revolutionaries have become the establishment, with those rebellious hippies now in high positions within government, industry, and entertainment. And in such an environment where the ‘woke’ are in charge, the most rebellious thing one can do is be to the right of Karl Marx – both culturally and politically.
Enter Tom MacDonald, the ‘new breed’ of cultural revolutionary whose success is scaring the left.
By all accounts, MacDonald, 33, doesn’t look like he’d be a ‘figurehead’ for the right-wing of American culture. He has long hair, numerous piercings, and a body covered in tattoos. He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and started his career as a professional wrestler, performing under the ring-name ‘Allstar’ within various Canadian-based wrestling leagues for about six years. Like many artists, he struggled with addiction, and went through a rehabilitation period to not only get him sober, but also reinvent himself.
Reinvent himself as what, you may ask? Well, this straight white male from Canada went from being a high-flying wrestler to a rapper.
