This is so nauseatingly credulous. Michelle Goldberg's a much better reporter than this. She's got a long history reporting on the extreme right.
Did Goldberg talk to any Canadian journalists who have been attacked and threatened with execution? What did she make of the residents who have been verbally and physically accosted by convoy members in their own neighborhoods?
What of the popular discontent of hourly retail workers at the Rideau Mall and surrounding businesses that were forced to close because they couldn't guarantee anyone's safety amidst marauding truckers? Some haven't worked in 3 weeks.
What of the popular discontent of the residents of Ottawa who organized actually peaceful protests to reclaim their neighborhoods when the Ottawa Police Service refused?
I think the 50k Centretown residents speak for a lot of Canadians when they say that it sucks to be bullied by right wing fanatics presuming to speak for all Canadians.
I think it's important to understand the diversity of motives that draw people into a mass movement & to distinguish between the far right activists & the broader support. To lump everyone together as "right wing fanatics" in fact serves the interest of the extremist activists.
You've been following the right wing for long enough to realize that even the most vehement racists can dial it down long enough to fool a sufficiently determined journo on a Dapper Nazi deadline.
Obviously, these people say they're not racist or radical. But why should we believe them when they were happy to march alongside swastikas, and Confederate flags in a bid to overturn a democratically elected government?
If we're assuming everyone is the same from the start then it makes no sense to talk about recruitment and radicalization. But in fact people start at different places & the event is a recruitment opportunity. Lumping everyone together furthers the end of recruitment.
