      Murderclown Hostage Forever, Apparently @patiencemosher
      We're seeing a clear split between white people who trust the police because they expect them to be more or less fair (despite evidence to the contrary) and white people who trust the police because they expect them to be grossly unfair *Both* groups feel betrayed right now. 2/

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Paul McLeod

      I think it's plausible that the shock here is that they believed, not without reason, that the police are there to put down other types of protesters.https://twitter.com/pdmcleod/status/1495076205145608194 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Paul McLeodVerified account @pdmcleod
      Clearly a lot of people have never been part of a demonstration ended by police before. Can't tell you how many expressions of shock and astonishment I've heard. "I can't believe this," "this is the craziest thing I've ever seen," "it's like we're in China" etc.

          I was thinking that they might not see the difference between their own behaviour and lawful protests. Like, they legitimately think they're doing the same thing.

          Really good point. Lots of people/bots in discussions about Ottawa claimed that BLM protesters burned cities to the ground in 2020, and I thought it was all deliberate lies or hyperbole but apparently people really do believe that happened

          I remember that being part of the dynamic January 6th. Some angry white lady who'd just been pepper sprayed screaming about how it was the other sort of people who were SUPPOSED to get pepper sprayed.

          So much disinformation by bots and crypto currency and social chaos tied together. We need to educate our citizens about the dangers of propaganda, Like Finland Resources need to be spent fighting poverty and mental despair and it’s relationship to petty crime. Fight RW extremist

          This is Canada’s 1/6. The similarities are striking but Canada has not been paying attention to the rise of RW extremists since election of Trudeau. I suspect Harper’s pulling strings for O&G and Christian Domionists of the Social Credit domination of the west for 100 years

          Lovely to witness another society that won't even live by its own rules. In a special sense, we have always been post-truth.
