    1. The "Freedom Convoy" in Canada has been small in absolute numbers (a few hundred trucks) but massively disruptive. It's the most successful far right mobilization in Canada in a generation. It will surely be copied all of the world.https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1491983068692992004 …

    Tucker Carlson is promoting the US version of the far-right/anti-vaccine truck convoy, and I really hope everyone is paying close attention to the role he plays in manufacturing and amplifying domestic conflict. pic.twitter.com/xWdEwDiI5f

        2. Lots of debates about the "Freedom Convoy": the usual post-left knuckleheads encouraging co-option & imitation. But the striking thing is the organizers are from the truly unhinged far right, the QAnon & sovereign citizens quadrant, that doesn't allow for rational politics.

        3. I talked with @NoLore about the "Freedom Convoy," its roots in Canada and also its connections to global far right.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-siege-of-ottawa?utm_source=twitter …

        NEW: Our research early this week into who was behind a huge network of Facebook groups supporting the Freedom Convoy led us to a hacked account in Missouri. Next it led us to Bangladesh — and ended with the deactivation of some of the largest active groups. Follow along:🧵⬇️ pic.twitter.com/Ixdd5cnBIl

        Is it successful on its own merits, or because the city of Ottawa and the province allowed it to be? Have they repeated their "successes" elsewhere in Canada? Montreal? Vancouver? They seem only as successful as their oppo allows.

        I think the financial sword of democles hanging over the "independent" American truck driver might make it difficult for it to work here without bankrupting most participants

        Yes--maybe. Do you mean about various possible issues, or precisely anti-vax? Independent truckers are frequently a reactionary formation, but we will see how many actually undertake this kind of action.
