Current Events > Trucker Convoy is turning into a Jan 6th

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sign really got to you, huh

The guy holding that sign is wearing a mask. Outside. lol

for a few days to a week at a time. The rest of it, he spent in purgatory. I suspect he will be getting suspended again quite soon.

as in cutting off supply. it may be preventing them from getting fuel.

Is that right, Mapchete?

i'll try to look it up.

Yes they are. One of the core demands is for government to dissolve and senators resign. AFTER ending mandates.

Canada has tanks?

not just fuel, food as well.

Lolwat

Sperm in politics?

There are some troglodytes out there that truly believe the sperm of unvaccinated men will be valuable soon.

No one wants their 5'4", 300lb sperm.

I bet u an unvaxed woman would pay for it, which gives it value.

Calling for resignations of government officials is basically Protesting 101.

Theyre calling for a lot of trash, but nothing that is remotely earth shattering from a looney loonie perspective.

Which is, again, not a coup attempt.

Would bet 20 bucks the guy is vaccinated, despite his remarks on it.

So one or two incidents over a week involving thousands of people?

And again, theyre idiots protesting over something stupid. But theyre not trying to coup the government,

They're idiots bud.

The whole mandate freedom shit from people living in the freest country on earth essential are morons at best.

I run into a lot of these people on a daily basis and a disturbing number seem incredibly dumb and also religiously passionate about this whole thing.

Numerous people that came into the store the past couple weekends compared them to literal world war veterans and said they are fighting for our freedom just like them.

Its fucked.

Why are you so eager to go to bat for a bunch of uneducated derps?

Because Im guessing hes one of those mandates dont work people that think thats all this protest is about. When anyone with eyes can see what the protest is really about and whos leading it.

But god forbid this site do anything about all the fucking shitty concern trolls and sea lions in these topics but that requires them to do actual work. Or maybe they agree with all the concern trolling. Or maybe Allen cares more about user numbers being high vs having a working moral compass.

Who knows why nothing truly ever gets done on this site. All I know is that its pretty fucking annoying that the mod team still allows this shit to continue.

something happened to IMadepooh4u's account. Oh noes!

Permanently suspend their trucking licenses, confiscate their trucks, give incentives for training for replacements, and send them all to prison.

They are being extremely disruptive the economy, regular people's personal lives and increasing the risk of Covid.

They are harassing people who have nothing to with this s*** and ruining the lives of those who live there with congestion, noise, intimidation and economic disruption for a meaningless and harmful cause. Also some real violent extremist s*** is brewing within this.

This isn't a civil rights protest. It's protesting for the right to willfully endanger others. f*** them all.

This is very close to my thoughts during the Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020. Replace BLM with Defund the Police and you'd have "the meaningless and harmful cause".

But the President of the United States, in his infinite wisdom, decided it would be better for his re-election prospects if he didn't declare an insurrection in Portland and let the protests with their 5% violence rate run their course. Everywhere you look, another decision of his breaks the top five worst.

f*** off

Absolutely not. If you didn't know I was right in my comparison, you would have immediately come out with a correction or contradiction. You're angry that I'm right.

I think instead of being angry that I'm challenging your preferred principles, you should re-examine them and reform your ideas.

[Edit:] I will go further. There is no principle, nothing noble at all, in "free speech for me, but not for thee." What is wrong, is wrong. What is right, is right.

Just because someone won't engage your bad faith bullshit doesn't mean it is right.

I post in good faith and I make reasonable points.

Oh hi there, Mr. Reach. No, I support vaccine mandates and think everyone that voluntarily isn't vaccinated is a selfish asshole of a moron. And there certainly undercurrents of other crap involved in the protests, but what they're doing isn't comparable to the violence seen on 1/6.

It's not trolling to disagree with the idea that a bunch of idiot and annoying protestors aren't remotely comparable to actual coup instigators.

But assume some more.

Then you have probably been on one side or another of what I am about to relate. I've been to about 10-15, about half of them gay rights related in some way, some nonideological to raise awareness on a current issue (often a death), and a smattering of causes on the political right. Almost invariably at any remotely ideological or partisan protest, there are other protesters whose views I find extremist and apalling, and they are LOUD. They bring signs that are very provacative. "Tax the church!" "Abolish ICE!" "Al Sharpton did this, this, and, this, but not ONE MINUTE for this cause." I am embarassed by these signs and chanters. Because I don't believe in over half the stuff that is said the loudest or promoted by the most organized or prominent people who show up--and they're rarely the people who organized the protest in the first place.

And so I have learned when going to a protest, to bring my own sign. I don't necessarily stay home out of fear of encountering extremists. I go to advance my own agenda and to tell both other protesters and the public what it is--so that they see what it isn't.

If I were worried about encountering extremists, then I wouldn't be able to protest for gay marriage, or against DADT, or for mourning and appreciation of the NYPD, or for continuing the war on terrorism. I would be staying home and, one, giving a deceptive impression of the amount of support on an issue, and two, ceding the field to the most unreasonable elements. I believe reasonable people need to come out and be heard, and in as large numbers as possible. My concern with your post is that it seems to offer no way for that to occur.

I post in good faith and I make reasonable points.

LMAO

You know we can read your posts, right

lmao what the fuck? That's not photoshopped already?

How many local businesses will have been looted after this?
How many ATM's will have been blown up?
How many cars will have been smashed?

So still better than the Summer of 2020.
