Whoa whoa whoa - this is not a "worker uprising," this is an anti-vax uprising. This is not a "freedom" convoy, it's an anti-vax convoy. Big difference.

It's actually an alt right convoy using anti-vax, covid-fatigue as a wedge issue.

this is also about a disenfranchised working class that has been largely ignored. The politics are grossly right, but fascism is a working class movement, and unless the left really learns the humility it takes to talk to the working class, we'll see more of the same.

There’s a lot of truth in this. Let’s talk about this over a coffee sometime soon..

It was very sad seeing a student arrive at the school today wearing a "Be on the right side of history" sweatshirt with a website on it for anti-vaxxer propaganda. We are hitting a pretty depressing point in the COVID timeline.

It is an anti-mandate protest. We can’t hope to understand people’s concerns if we refuse to label their protest correctly. I’m triple vaxxed and I’m dead set against mandates.

Sure it is. I guess you’d have no problem with public health measures to curb unwanted pregnancies in the form of a shot to your balls which then requires you to apply for a reproduction permit.
Right. People don’t want the govt dictating what they should do with their bodies

Parochial Victoria comes face to face with working class people and doesn’t like it.

Sorry you’ve got it wrong. It’s not anti - vax. It’s anti vax mandates. Very different things.
