The freedom convoy was less about freedom and more about being an entitled selfish dick.

They were protesting against having to have compassion and empathy towards people beyond their small bubble. They weren't fighting for people's rights for freedom, they were protesting against other people's rights to stay healthy and alive, it was a selfish act by selfish assholes.

People were dying because people wouldn't take the safety precautions seriously and these assholes thought they were superheros saving the world, no, they were assholes who were used by bigger assholes to cause as much chaos as they could to undermine the faith in the system they were fearful about.

Giant fucking babies.

A right wing group that profits from the rights of others being taken away. The only "rights" they were fighting for is WASPs

Because they are all Canada hating UCP MAGA traitors.

freedoim to suck eggs

This is the brain rot you get when you think if it’s not on the news, then it’s not happening.

Turn off the propaganda machine. People are protesting everywhere.

That's because they were a bunch of morons being led around by the nose ring.... Idiots..... It's a damn shame those involved didn't get he jail time they deserved...

people's* rights

Yeah, but those were over the right to infect others, to spread disease, harm and even death. Why should I be inconvenienced when all those don’t affect me

/s

Someone else pointed it out, Freedom Convoy was effectively the next "States Rights" Don't argue with them in good faith, they don't argue in good faith themselves.

They're the ones that cry "2A" about guns but worship the ground of Ronny Reagan who enacted gun legislation to go against the Black Panthers. This is the group that also talks about 2A and would storm the capital attacking police but calls Black Lives Matter riots and cheer when police show up. Hell, they cry about 2A when they worship Trump who said "Take their guns first, due process after."

They talk about "Freedom of Religion" but it's always their religion. War on Christmas, how dare they take down the ten commandments, while cheering for the guy who wanted a Muslim ban, attacked Sikhs post 9/11 because they couldn't even get the religion they were mad at right, and want to force their religion into schools and courthouses.

They talk about freedom of speech when they scream about being able to lie, but cheer that Musk will throw people off that will actually fact check. The party of "Fuck your feelings" cries how they're being attacked and needs protected when it's turned around on them.

They cry about discrimination with Affirmative Action, but it's simply the new Southern Strategy post Obama. Had a black president, racism is over, wave the flags. Oh, still helping minorities, RACISM! But they still stand with people who wave the swastika and the confederate flag and manage to say with a straight face they are not racist at all.

They made use of the social contract of tolerance, that we're all supposed to get along as a society. They have done so by spitting in peoples faces, enacting violence, screaming epitaphs and being the worst people ever, then run back to society every time it's turned on them.

Do not give them the good faith they ask for. Do not treat them as reasonable human beings, they are not. When they can act with basic fucking decorum that is required to be a person, then they can be treated like members of society again.

You are looking for common principles and shared values, but MAGA was only looking to seize power for itself, or at least some rich people who are part of it.

Don't be shocked. This is basic manipulation and greed. It really is that simple. And the MaAGA crowd is disproportionately bigoted, so they get to hate who they hate more.

Ive posted more than once that when Trump was reelected and there was no attempt to storm the capital to block his confirmation I knew the USA was doomed.

If they are prepared to use violence and ignore the rules and you arent... you're fucked.
