We have to take a complex view of the Freedom Convoy. At the level of organizers it's a grisly collection of far right extremists (racists & seditionists) backed by petit bourgeois & plutocratic tyrants. But on level of mass support it is harnessing wider popular discontent.https://twitter.com/ChrisBurkeShay/status/1495776036805611520 …

agree with your class distinctions. The p.b. are mistakenly portrayed as the provincial lower-middle class. The Poseurs. Wrong. The p.b is urbane, highly educated. The big chunk of the elite in addition to the provincial "affluent," a group that would include the convoy leaders

That's right. The p.b. is the real organizing hub of most reactionary politics. A highly aware, politicized and networked group.
