      This @michelleinbklyn is one of the very best, most nuanced pieces on the "freedom convoy" and its contradictions.https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/17/opinion/ottawa-protest-convoy.html …

      I dunno, man. It’s a bit too “credulous Midwest diner safari in 2017” if you ask me.

      I think it's important to acknowledge that although the organizers are far right goons with a toxic agenda, they've drawn in many people with other concerns. Have to be dialectical about this.

          Completely omits the Christian extremist component, which has been well-covered here locally. Even her first subject gives away the game - her "awakening"

          You're saying "she didn't mention this, she didn't mention that." But come on she's clear about the far right roots, funding, organization, beneficiaries. It's the nice people they are drawing in that is the question, that's the what is to be done.

          I'm a server in a lefty tourist town, the politics of my coworkers are all over the place on "the pandemic." Admitting of a lot of different futures, some very scary indeed. So figuring out what's bothering people is more important than namechecking the bad guys, don't you think?

          People who are angry and afraid being influenced and exploited by authoritarians, same as it ever was. Like a slow-rolling J6 without the violent climax (I hope)
