Bok, I hope those “trucker” come to your town, block the roads, cut off trade, and make noise all day.
BTW, some of those “protesters” were armed to the teeth and are now under arrest for attempting to murder the Mounties. Also, one of the organizers is a white supremist. Are you okay with all that, or are you chicken? (Bokbokbok)
The individuals in Seattle were only displaying nothing more then legitimatepoliticaldiscourse!!! Isn’t the right, BaghdadBok?? Or is it different strokes for different folks???
I see Baghdad Bok is conflating a few dozen truckers that threatened commerce for two countries because of a hissy-fit about masks and vaccines with a few idiots (including some RW instigators) in a Seattle neighborhood.
Lawless Democrats are proud owners and founders of ‘Defund the Police’. Democrats support rioters, looters and destroyers of businesses and homes. Democrats are domestic terrorists who support Leftist Leaning Anarchist ANTIFA. Liberalism is Communism
This is unintentionally correct. There was a white supremacist that was arrested for fire bombing a police precinct. A false flag bit bok in the backside.
I’ve been active in left politics since 1967. I’ve been in many demonstrations, large and small, and I’ve been arrested several times. I’ve been in leadership positions, and as a leader I have always advocated non-violent action. I’ve always been comfortable working with pacifists, though I’m not sure I would call myself a strict pacifist. Very few people are strict pacifists; almost everyone thinks that some kind of violence is justified in some circumstances. I have spent hundreds of hours debating what actions are justified and what actions aren’t. These are complex questions, and a short post can’t begin to do them justice. Here’s one point: if there is a slave revolt, the violence is the fault of the masters, not the slaves. Another point: violence takes many forms, and not all of them are direct—violence can be built into a social structure. Here’s another: the ruling class (and there is a ruling class, though its membership is fluid) finds it very useful to pit different sections of the oppressed classes against each other. Racism has been particularly useful for this purpose. On a related topic, there are extreme groups on both sides. In the late sixties and early seventies, the extreme of the left (including, for instance, the Weatherpeople) was a serious danger (and I always argued against them). But for many years the extreme of the left has hardly existed and it’s no real threat. But the extreme of the right is very dangerous. Whatever justification the protest in Ottawa may have had (and I don’t think they had much justification at all), there is a real danger that the extremes are going to take it as a great success, following on the success of Jan 6th. They will learn from this how to organize better. They will raise a lot of money. And they will be back to cause even more trouble.
Nobody said “largely peaceful protestor”, they said “largely peaceful protest”. Everybody agreed that individuals looters and arsonists were not peaceful. You are making a comparison on something that never happened.
If you have a legitimate concern… why can’t you make an honest statement?
Being old and experienced does not make one’s ideas any better. “If there is a slave revolt, the violence is the fault of the masters, not the slaves” is specious, superficial, and unsupported. Tom Paine and Thomas Jefferson need not fear for their reputations.
Bok, how can you be sure that it was the BLM protesters that started the riots. It seems to me that it was most likely a Proud Boy or AtomWaffen Division action.
Besides, that protest has been going on for four weeks now. Time to end it.
Those “truckers” are fake. They are blocking REAL truckers from making a living. Many truck drivers are independent contractors (which I think is BS so companies don’t have to pay fair wages or provide benefits) so the >10% of truckers that refuse to get vaccinated are hurting those that provide goods and services.
The majority of the violence and mayhem in BLM protests came from Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and opportunists that looted.
Canada trucker protests: Police clear Parliament street in bid to end siege
Scores of trucks left under the increasing pressure, raising authorities’ hopes for an end to the three-week protest against the country’s Covid-19 restrictions
Police aggressively pushed back protesters in Canada’s besieged capital on Saturday, seizing trucks and finally retaking control of the streets in front of the country’s Parliament building.
Scores of trucks left under the increasing pressure, raising authorities’ hopes for an end to the three-week protest against the country’s COVID-19 restrictions and the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The street in front of Parliament Hill was the heart of the protests. It had been occupied by protesters and their trucks since late last month, turning into a carnival on weekends.
Canadian authorities also announced they had used emergency powers to seize 76 bank accounts connected to protesters, totalling roughly $3.2 million ($2.5 million US).
On Saturday, they also closed a bridge into the nation’s capital from Quebec to prevent a renewed influx of protesters.
By Friday evening, at least 100 people had been arrested, mostly on mischief charges, and nearly two dozen vehicles had been towed, including all of those blocking one of the city’s major streets, authorities said.
Ottawa residents complained of being harassed and intimidated by the truckers and obtained a court injunction to stop their incessant honking.
Canadians have largely embraced the country’s COVID-19 restrictions, with the vast majority vaccinated, including an estimated 90% of the nation’s truckers.
