Re: Truckers are not trucks, they are drivers of trucks... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 22/04/2022 08:59:14 PM

Your response was as predictably inane as I have come to expect. There was actually a large body of support, both nationally and internationally, though if you only saw the narrative as it was presented, I can forgive you for your blanket statement that they had no support.


Define "large body" here.
And I can't say that it surprises me that you find something like personal body autonomy a "stupid cause."

And I can't say I'm surprised that you think preventing disease spread is somehow subordinate to spurious claims of violation of bodily autonomy. Right to life has no meaning, then?
By your statements, can I assume you were fine with the outcome of said protest, then? The outcome being, of course, no outreach from the government to the protesters, no attempt at negotiation or settlement of their grievances, and threats to target them financially and through police action after a week and a half of ignoring them and calling them racist white supremacists?

Yep. I'm just fine with people who would refuse to do the minimum civic duty to prevent the spread of a disease that has killed millions being ignored.

And if you are fine with the outcome, I am curious: what is the point of assembly, if you will just get inappropriately name-called and threatened by the government?

Right to assembly is not right to effective assembly. Just as the right to speech doesn't automatically mean whatever you say will be listened to.

They're welcome to try again. Their chances of success are as remote as they were before.
