Poll of the Day > Canadian truckers fight against vaccine mandates

(+) Yeah! (+)

Apparently "truckers" are planning a protest in LA during the Superbowl. There's absolutely no way that doesn't end with neo-nazis getting the shit beat out of them and their vehicles being vandalized to hell.

Within 5 seconds of reading some of that I could tell its one of the most bias and propaganda pushing things Ive seen in quite some time. Unsurprising coming from you.

I was just going to elide over that link, but with a ringing endorsement like that I had to click.

The clip encapsulates the surreal chaos of a deceptive, astroturfed, funded-from-outside, social-media-driven catastrophe that is right in line with the worst of the conspirituality world. A torrent of misinformation, co-opted trauma, and freedom-fighters LARPing, in which children are weaponized by super-pilled parents, in which we can witness the cycles of social neglect and psychic violence turning in real time.

mmmm, yeah, that's the good stuff.

You can tell the person who wrote that is pretty dumb by how they said psychic violence. Like the truckers are Professor X mind fucking everyone.

Isn't going mental ape shit Jean Grey's job?

The Professor does it a couple of time too, it's how we get Onslaught and the crisis at the mansion that leads up to Logan (the events in the movie) where Charles in a fit of dementia takes over Logan's body and slaughters everyone else at the mansion. iirc

Heres some good reporting.

I don't even have to click that link to know that's an opinion piece, not reporting. The headline itself clearly states an opinion.

It's a podcast. You listen to it, you don't read it. Open your mind to different perspectives outside of the group of people being led by white nationalists and violent anti-protestors.

They're 'right' about them? They haven't even communicated a coherent message on why they're opposed to them.

Not being able to sleep for 10+ days sounds like psychic violence to me, sorry if you're butthurt about two words being used in combination.

Ambassador Bridge between Windsor and Detroid has a blockade set up now, like the one in Alberta.

More then $300k a day loss in goods and at least three auto manufacturing plants on both sides of the border are closed because they can't get parts.

He was out snowmobiling at his cottage in the Muskokas but then they disrupted the automotive supply chain; he was perfectly content with letting Ottawa burn if it might have made Justin look bad.

The Mayor of a city declaring a state of emergency doesn't mean much, but the Premier declaring a state of emergency has actual legislative force and effect.

He can't. And probably wouldn't if he could.

Yes. Maybe you should open your mind to different perspectives outside of your own echo chamber and actually listen to what the truckers are protesting against.

I have - all anti-vaccine and anti-mandate rhetoric has relied on either outright lies, misrepresentation or misreading or data. I'm not going to commiserate with liars and anyone who can't realize the benefit of protecting the vulnerable. I'll chat with them and tell them I still care for them, but I don't need to share their view to do that. I don't seem to receive the same care of response in return. You deserve the best of health, as does your family, but you are seriously misguided in understanding the benefit of vaccination.

They have not been coherent in their message in what they are opposed to. Initially, it was simply their own vaccine mandate, then it was road conditions, then road conditions got tossed aside...now it's all mandates, which is maniacally outside of their scope. Why would other industries give a shit about 10% of truckers trying to influence mandates outside their own industry? It'd be like 10% arborists trying to remove helmet mandates in ALL workplaces nationwide while the rest of arborists don't give a shit...what?

Oh right, they also would go for the resignation of the democratically elected government...which is not the popular opinion of Canadians, thus undemocratic. I don't like Trudeau either. An overthrow accomplished by an unpopular minority is not a realistic proposition or goal.

Agreed. Thats why people trying to enforce mandates need to be stopped.

Theyre busy building concert stages and having a peaceful protest.

Everybody knows what they're protesting against. What they're protesting against, however, is stupid. How they're protesting objectively fits the definition of terrorism. Ergo, they're a bunch of stupid terrorists. Why are you so bent on supporting a bunch of stupid terrorists?

I'm sure OP had no issues with the legality or morality of BLM protestors blocking street traffic

Unlike the BLM/Antifa/commie terrorists who caused hundreds of millions of dollars in public damage nationwide to protest violence against eternal, perpetual self-victims.

Now, since I am not an hypocritical leftist on copium, I have no issues acknowledging that both groups are fucking idiots and resorted to terrorist actions, but like most groups who see themselves as champions of virtue, they're just "heroes" who lived long enough to become the villains of their own stories.

The key difference, however, being that the vast, vast majority of BLM protests were not at all violent, and even in those that were, the people committing violence were a small subset of the protesters present (and in many cases, weren't even protesters). I'm not about to doubt that there were terrorists acting in BLM's name, some of whom even did so legitimately and not as false flag attacks, but they very much were not reflective of the movement as a whole. By contrast, this movement is fundamentally meant to cause significant economic damage. That's where it crosses the line from being a protest movement into being a terrorist movement, a line which BLM has not crossed because terrorism is not part of its core mandate.

Actually to protest violence against people that have done nothing to warrant a violent response, but keep defending murderers if that's what helps you sleep at night.

yeah, im sure the people who were just sleeping peacefully until cops broke in and shot them dead, despite having done nothing wrong, because the cops fucked up and got the wrong house, just wanted that to happen.

i wonder how long it'll be before you're back in purg for saying super racist shit.

Funny coincidence that Wanded and Midget show back up on the same day

Their posting styles are different enough that I'd chalk that up to getting suspended on the same day. Neither seem to be able to keep an account active for very long, so I could believe that they went out of commission at the same time and therefore came back at the same time.

Just relabel the Ambassador Bridge as a pipeline...

Presumably, oil is carried across it. You could make that argument.

turned out to be a hangman's gallows instead of a concert stage.

You are talking about a small group of people who did things that no one wanted to happen so folks could ignore the actual message of the protests. Their actions were not the goal.

The financial damages this group is doing is a goal. Their goal is terroristic actions of holding a city hostage.

And despite that there is still so much outrage from your side when people mentions the guys waving swastikas and robbing soup kitchens and just ignoring their message. Here you are dude, ignoring the message of the blm stuff and focusing on the stuff meant to detract from the message. Yea, your "both sides!" isn't copium at all.

Literally the only two users on my blocklist; both use the White Nationalist slogan "Let's go Brandon" in their sig. I assume it means they want to go to Brandon, Manitoba. (Yes, I know)

That's a health and safety violation, and they used no union labour to do it, bunch of scabs. The mind boggles that Ottawa police have let them build semi permanent structures on public land, but will bring in bull dozers if a homeless person pitches a tent.

I'm quite literally disgusted by these type of people, willing to rationalize a protest over getting a vaccine that protects them.

Then the defenders will literally shit all over other protests that involved the arbitrary killing of citizens by police. Literally just fuck yourselves, you don't care about fucking anything, except a performative protest where the goals are based on a fear of vaccines.

Why is Rush Limbaugh there

It's kind of hilarious how quickly conservatives turn on Ford. He's alternately the second coming of the messiah or the worst thing to ever happen to Canadian politics. Meanwhile, the rest of us agree on that latter opinion most of the time and are pleasantly surprised whenever he happens to do something right.

It's CTV.

That's as mainstream as any Canadian news.

But you wouldn't know what that is because you don't even live here.

While I'm 'digging for stories', you're posting memes. We are not the same.
