Just because I mock the anti-vax fascists doesn't mean I think they can't protest.
Just that you think when they protest, they should be locked up, their accounts frozen, and forcebly vaccinated (the 10% who aren't already). And your dishonesty knows no bounds. They are in no way "fascists"...You're going to make the term meaningless with the stupid way you throw it around at anything or anyone you don't like. And it's not an anti-vaccination protest; it's an anti-mandate protest. If you honestly can't understand the distinction, you really are feeble-minded.

Where do you get that 90% of the anti-vaxxers protesting are vaccinated?

I'm sorry to tell you this.... But I am far from that personality type.

Authoritative (if that was an actual personality type) perhaps...

It's crazy you think that. I wonder where the cognitive dissonance comes from. It's like you're in a fugue state.

Or are you saying your actual personality type is the opposite of what you present in these threads? I wish I could believe that.

Well, the truckers. I can't honestly say I have any idea the percentage of vaccinated among the people who showed up to support the truckers. Other than that the vaccination rate in Canada is supposedly very high. But there you go again calling it an anti-vaccine protest.

That is the way you perceive it because you may be an authoritarian.

What percentage of the actual truckers that started this do you think are vaccinated?

I just want to see where PM Tredau "labeled them nazis. Suggested any of the public supporting the truckers must be white supremacists".
I'd say his rhetoric about how he and Canada do not "stand with the swastikas" is effectively saying something along those lines since he's staying the truckers and their supporters do.

Look, I am against antivax rationale but to call the idea of them asking for "my body, my choice" as being fascist as opposed to compulsory vaccination against their will is smooth brain logic.

With the right wing these days it's about whatever they want it to be, they just make up shit.
If you don't see that you really are feeble minded.

No these protests are pro virus. They are anti vaccine and masks.
Nobody is being forced to be vaccinated at gunpoint, don't want it that's fine.
You might not be able to travel internationally though or have to quarantine,
You might lose your job. You are free to start your own business or be self employed.

Everybody should be able to lawfully protest, even for viruses rights.
Parking crap in the middle of the street, honking your horn and taking a shit and piss everywhere while being belligerent isn't lawful.
Just a reminder people live and work there.

There were online murmurs that a similar blockade was going to happen at the Superbowl.
I can't imagine that would have worked out so well.
Now they are saying it will be in March around the Whitehouse and other areas.
The police in the US are not as nice as Canada, I can't imagine it going on for three weeks, maybe a few days before things end badly.

You never know though, a disappointing thing to me about law enforcement is the higher the reciprocity of violence or possible problems the less likely they are to act immediately

I can't find any pictures but reports say people were running around with swaskita patches.
I did find pictures of people waving confederate and Trump flags and wearing Q stuff.
Pretty sure they met backlash and were told this is a Canadian protest.

The swastikas were mostly (or probably all) intended to be metaphorical and should not be taken as a literal adaptation.

The confederate flags, the Q stuff and trump flags:
Fascists

For the record, some of the organizers condemned swastikas but refused to condemn the confederate flag iconography.

Eventually, you are going to be towed and arrested. Doesn't matter what you are protesting.

Otherwise, it is hard to call it civil disobedience.

lol, such infantile logic.

Oh ok, great!

You might lose your job.

Oh, wait...I thought it was fine?

You are free to start your own business or be self employed.

Not driving a truck they can't. I don't know the stats in Canada, but the majority of drivers in the US are owner-operators and not company drivers. Although this line blurs with many drivers who are classified as independent contractors but basically pull exclusively for one company, something I suspect Canada labor law would classify as an employee.

You should move back to the states and spend some time with anti-vaxxers. You will learn to recognize them pretty well.

It is my understand that they can. It is just that you have to be vaccinated in order to return from Covid-Land (USA).

The Confederate Flag is definitely the wrong symbol to be flying in this day and age to protest the government.
It has also been ironically co-opted by "2nd Amendment" radicals.
