Canada's Truck Convoy to Protest Mandate

[BigOrangeTrain]

How about taking 5 minutes and googling something like "were BLM protests violent" or "how frequently did violence occur at BLM rallies?"

Try to look at a few different links.

5 minutes.....just out of your own curiosity.

Give it a try.

Do you think every single BLM protest was reported on by national news media? I know for a fact they were not. Only the biggest and most important ones were. And while you can sit there and say they were not violent all you want. But the fact is you were not present at all of them.

I witnessed several including Charleston, NE TN and one in Annapolis. They were all violent. People were beaten, windows broken out of business and police cars were getting things hurled at them. So yeah sit back and defend the violent BLM movement. It’s the liberal way to justify anything in the name of the false racisim narrative.

Have you not seen the videos? People literally killed? Attacked? They literally set a horse trailer on fire during one instance of blocking roads. Sure, not everyone had intentions of being violent, but there's no logical way you could have missed all the violence during those protests. How bout CNN's famous, "mostly peaceful protest", while buildings were burning, and people being beaten in the background? You're either trolling, or sincerely have denial issues.

Congressional oversight isn’t limited to potential crimes. It can cover a range of fact finding up to and including a company denying service to lawful customers at the clear behest of a foreign government (if only we had a word for corporations acting in direct concert with the government )

Eh. Just because they could, doesn’t mean they should.

I’m not a fan of the power of the federal government being used to cudgel private business.

Almost certainly not. I’m sure there were hundreds, maybe thousands, of small gatherings throughout the country where absolutely nothing of note happened.

Incorporating all those would only strengthen the statistics Luther likes, though.

Well we are going to have to get ok with it or else just sit here quietly and be destroyed. When a “private business” becomes a de facto arm of the government, doing its bidding without qualm or question, then we better be prepared to treat it as such. This is not some mom and pop grocery store. It is a leviathan of an organization with the scope and power to reward its allies and to crush its opponents. Sorry, but I am not playing the libertarian hands off game anymore just because a company claims to be “private” business while it presses its boot down on my throat.

Exactly - it is not a court of law. What they can do, however is drag everyone of the colluding tech companies up to capital hill to discuss how they have colluded. Then they can make a law that makes such collusion illegal - and more importantly, they can force the companies to break up if found to be colluding. This is the real teeth they have and what Facebook, twitter and the rest fear. If congress would start nailing a few to crosses along the Apian way, this would stop fairly quickly.

Nor I. But when a public company engages in politics that do not seem to have anything to do with its core business. It leaves itself open to public action against it. Private businesses are not under the same rules or should not be.

You should Google “white couples” then turn around and Google “black couples” and you’ll see how corrupt big tech is.

Where does it end?

LMAO gofundme is in hectic damage control mode. I’m glad we all got a look at this organization I’ll never send a penny thru them again regardless how good the cause is. They should have left their politics on the sidelines.

UPDATE: GoFundMe to refund all Freedom Convoy 2022 donations (2/5/2022)

The last time I sent any money through gofundme was for AOC's abuela to fix her roof since Trump had abandoned Puerto Rico after the hurricane and left this poor old woman defenseless because they couldn't get her roof fixed because Trump blocked it. After raising a quarter of a million dollars, the family sent the money back to all of the donors. Best campaign ever.

Ask Siri to define fascism or look it up on Wikipedia and it shows the same

Where does it end?

It ends when Liberty is restored and “private” business remains fragmented enough to allow competition (the very reason anti trust laws are constitutional) and when it stays in its lane and does not work in lockstep with the state (fascism)

Ok. Who decides when we get there?

I did just as you suggested and it claims that fascism is a nationalistic and authoritarian right wing system of government. Holy fook batman.

I'm guessing Luther is " trolling".

A lot of you guys on here just refuse to understand the data.
Sure there was violence - it has horrible, pathetic, and everyone who committed violence should be arrested and prosecuted.
But you could have a thread (or a right wing network) that covered nothing but horrific car accidents. They could show the carnage, interview the families, show videos, gruesome photos, and highlight the dead 24-7.
Anyone who consumed that info multiple hours a day, if they were an idiot, could be convinced that riding in a car was nothing more than a death wish.
But we are all smart enough to know (hopefully) that while horrible car accidents inevitably happen, it in way means that most people who travel in cars end up in a horrible accident. It is just a sad inconvenient result of a large number of automobiles traveling hundreds of millions of miles a day. Accepting that fact in no way diminishes the pain and suffering of those effected by car accidents or denies that there is a danger associated with driving a car, it is only a realistic processing of the facts.

The facts are that the vast number of BLM protests (around 93) were completely peaceful. And even at the protests that turned violent, the vast majority of the protestors did not participate or approve.

Those are simply the facts - regardless of what you have been conditioned to believe by the media you consume.

 

[whodeycin85]

A single person holding a BLM sign is considered a BLM protest...happened in small towns like Harriman TN. Where 6 high schooler showed for 15 mins..

Thats how they cook the peaceful numbers

Yep. Force feeding lies.

lol.....You can't be serious.
But just for giggles I did.

Danny explained "As it turns out, when people post images of white couples, they tend to say only "couples" & not provide a race. But when there are mixed couples, then "white" gets mentioned. Our image search depends on heavily words -- so when we don't get the words, this can happen."
