      Good thread on white evangelical protestant roots of "Freedom Convoy" from someone who knows the subject well.https://twitter.com/sarahposner/status/1493612247096217606 …

      Canadian media reporting that trucker siege is fueled by individuals professing Christian faith. Also reports "Starting Friday, 'Jericho marches' began circling the parliamentary precinct every morning." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/faith-convoy-truckers-1.6350538 …

      Look, I'm just a twitter clown so what do I know but if I see a mass movement pushing paranoid fantasies and backed by petite bourgeoisie business owners, cops, and socially reactionary white evangelical churches, I tend to suspect it's not left wing.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          My sense is that US reporting on this issue has failed US readers & even Canada; treating these folks from a US-centric perspective that gives them more credibility than they enjoy in Canada.

          It's as though US journalists can't imagine ppl behaving selfishly and idiotically as minoritarian outliers: coz they're so used to them as a serious "side" that requires a bothsidesy treatment.

          One thing this whole business has shown me is that no one can agree on how to spell "petit/petite/petty bourgeoisie"

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          Is there anything written at a lay person's level you'd point to that explains & contextualizes these efforts to replace traditional economic signifiers of class with cultural ones? I.e. millionaire car dealership owners are 'working class' but baristas with phds are not

          "Mass" movement. Fifty people and a few semis doesn't represent a mass base.

          It's not even really 'populist' - like Trump & Bolsonaro, it's largely driven by middle class reactionary fervor *in opposition* to actual popular opinionhttps://www.liberalcurrents.com/stop-legitimizing-the-far-rights-narratives-with-the-label-populism/ …
