The Canada Convoy

Take a breather I'd say. ,😂

This is the perspective that we all need while looking at the convoy situation. I get that Trudeau doesn't want to be seen to cave in to their demands, but the direction of travel is towards Covid being over and he will eventually have to drop all the restrictions in line with the rest of the world.

I mean some people are comparing them to domestic terrorists. They have bouncy castles for kids for crying out loud. Monsters!

Funny you should mention that.

Any of the right-wing, conservative, anti-woke, whatever-you-wanna-call-it protests or gatherings I've seen over here in Ireland have, almost 100%, been populist bullsh1t smokescreen as a means to recruit the easily-led (not lead, as you put it) into something else. From what little I've read about the 'freedom convoy' this appears also to be the case. Justin Barrett and his feeble-minded goons subsuming the Roderick O'Gorman protest as a means to usher in anti-EU sentiment being a prime example.

Some of the organisers are extremely white-supremacist in their outlook, openly waving swastikas and Confederate flags, for some reason. One of the head honchos said that those who don't want to protest might as well "drop a load of coins down the stairs and change your name to Ching chong". Others have issues with Canadian politicians who weren't born in Canada. They were walking around pissing on war memorials and on the grave of the unknown soldier, a scumbag move irrespective of your stance on war. They took over a homeless shelter, demanding they be fed before the actual homeless guys (for free, I might add) and harassing the staff (volunteers, I might add). They assaulted a person standing by the side of the road when they raised their camera to record them. They were racially abusive towards an ice cream shop owner, then did the same to healthcare workers as well as assaulting them.....then threw rocks at ambulances. Three of them have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder after fights broke out in Alberta. All this on top of the usual harassment stuff, like abusing members of the public for wearing masks, blocking emergency vehicle routes, and, yes, blaring horns at all hours of the night.

These chucklefcuks don't give a rats ass about Covid measures, masks, vaccines or anything of the like. They just hate others because of [insert BS reason here] and protests like this are just a reason to act the goat, air your otherwise-unacceptable antisocial views and maybe get a few pictures for Facebook etc. IF you're able to convince a few more smooth-brained, slack-jawed, knuckle-draggers to join in, well then that's fine by me, chief. The more the merrier. Oh, and we can scrape a few quid together while we're doing it, despite that being the absolute definition of socialism, which we abhor? Sign me up. We'll attach a name that they love.....Trump Train is already taken, and a little too in-your-face......we'll call it Freedom-something, that'll get the rednecks foaming at their lone tooth.

There are a few mental and easily-led (again, led not lead) idiots in this equation, alright, but you'd better double-check which side of the equals sign you're on before throwing digs at others.

If you read and were able to understand my post, you'd realise that the point i'm making is that the stated demands are nothing but a smokescreen to dress up like nazis, spout bile without being ignored, and radicalise gullible fools into joining your "I hate Brown people but I'm not allowed say that so I hate whatever's the current cause-du-jour and i hate brown people" cult

I'm not tarring them as racists.

I'm tarring them as Nazis, not because I don't like their message, but because they're either walking around dressed like nazis and throwing nazi salutes, or they're okay with being associated with those who dress like nazis and throw nazi salutes.

That's it. That's the be all and end all.

Guilty by association. If you lay down with dogs, you'll wake up with fleas. Nazi fleas.

I happen to like the message that is, supposedly, being sent. But if the guy spreading that message has a swastika armband and flag over his head, I'd do everything in my power to disassociate myself from him and let everyone know that he doesn't speak for me.

The truckers haven't done that, rather they've embraced the nazi leaders, so they can go and shite.

Yep, I'm not denying that. I'm saying the people who duped them into protesting think they're a lower class of life form because they're a different colour to them. I'm not sure how many different ways I can explain this to you all.
