      I'm not white. The supporters of the convoy are not all white. And pretending that anti-system politics only appeals to whites hurts our ability to combat it. (In Canada Rob & Doug Ford received a lot of support from POC).pic.twitter.com/y03cObKxhU

      It completely missing the point to just ask “do people support them?” And not ask what the truckers are demanding. They are not fighting for the rights of labor or workers. We don’t stop our analysis at “are people mad?” We ask WHY. Also, 30% is clearly a minority position

      Whole point of the article is that there's a difference between the fascists leading the protests & the wider support. Even minority movements can effect politics if they are large enough. Convoy has already led to big shift in opposition party. Head-in-the-sand liberalism sucks

          I understand the article. What i am reacting to It's the unbelievably credulous Reading at the movements of objectives. As though the minority of sincere believers in the movement is somehow guiding things rather than the movements leaders I'm not sure it's my head in the sand

          telling me violent right-wingers can affect government change from minority position kind of makes my point Governments and liberals are highly attune to violent white people If the objective of liberal politics is simply to minimize right-wing violence then I'm with you, but..
