      ??? She accurately notes its organized by dangerous far right fanatics and also speaks to broader popular discontent. Both things are true.

          Now having read the article - you are right to defend it. Entirely fair. And weird tweet by Goldberg.

          It doesn’t speak to broader popular discontent. 4 out of 5 Canadians reject the convoy. Over half say that it makes them ashamed to be Canadian.

          Canada and the truckers are overwhelmingly vaccinated. The Liberal government comfortably won reelected. Yeah, the national mood is sour because everyone’s sick of the pandemic, but let’s not pretend truckers represent anyone but their own selfish interests.

          A network of libertarian interests combine using the pandemic as an affordance. Anti-vax and vaccine-compliant messaging unify under "freedoms denied". But the goal is to destabilize and overthrow the government, threatening violence. Followers are considered expendable.

          Positioning the truckers as the Vox Populi is incredibly short-sighted. Economic and social concerns deserve to be understood on their own terms and not refracted through the truckers.

          They are not channeling any deeply felt rage, it’s not angry workers inchoately preparing for moral battle. It’s a small group of fanatics. There are far better lenses to use if you’re looking for widespread discontent.

          If it speaks to broader popular discontent, it's only because of garbage media misrepresentation and far right propaganda.

          Variants of a virus killing so many people each day don't stop for the discontented. News about mentally ill actions like assaulting strangers for trying to protect themselves from a virus should stand out ten thousand times more than the too-cute bouncy house lovefest sideshow.

          OverItItis skewed her framing. There are grafs of freedom/love, before a scant mention of assault on an Asian merchant. A dad looks to shrooms for purpose, and effs off to Ottawa, to hang with a new friend, and a 24-yr-old actress, but his kids need therapy because... "pandemic."
