All I'm saying is that if they're willing to use violence, they should be willing to take it.
Just responding to their bravado with some of my own, I mean, why is it only you guys who get to do that? You triggered by it?
Want me to drop the conservatriggering act? fair enough..
I obviously believe in people's right to protest peacefully, and even tho the protest is based on lies and misinformation, the underlying problem is the neoliberal destruction of the educational system in most of the first world, mostly after austerity voodoo economics that act as if inflation is some force of nature. Said destruction of education, together with internet's easier access to misinformation than to actual scientific literature, helps the export of American exceptionalism values, extreme individuality, and the notion that freedom of speech means that idiocy and hate, are as valuable as knowledge and love.
People in the convoy are victims of far right misinformation, they've been groomed by factors above described, into thinking that their right to oppose a vaccine that is proven to be as effective as a vaccine is supposed to be, not how they were brainwashed into believing it should do, even tho most of them are vaccinated as per ordered so they can even work as truckers (which makes us wonder how many of them are actual truckers and not just idiots in need of attention, with too much free time, or flat out ideological opportunists).
If I where Turdeaux, I'd instate a temporary UBI of 2000 Canadian dollars to every Ottawan, so they have the means to reach for alternatives to supply themselves, as the strike has disrupted, as every strike should do, otherwise it wouldn't be a proper strike, and they gotta do it right, the city's supply lines.
It's a way of making peaceful counterprotest by the Ottawan citizens possible, and also reduce the chances of situation escalation at local levels, like a neighbor that finally snaps after the honks and whatever.
The best way to defuse the trucker demonstrations, is to let them know that what they're doing is useless, and would trigger the truly fascistic elements amongst the organize body, into doing something stupid and self reporting them so much, they're disavowed by protestors slowly realizing how dumb they've been
It's pretty clear by my memes that I'm a Trekkie, you know I'm not going to shoot phasers until I get shot first, you Echonservative mental carrots should know better.
Grow up.
