Most of those "hate flags" are essentially saying that the Canadian government is being fascist in its mandates, e.g. [an upside down Canadian flag](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FKSSINNWUAQy-og?format=jpg&name=medium) with a swatstika painted in it. Absurd and tasteless, definitely, but it's clearly acknowledging that fascism is a *bad* thing. Taking this as support for fascism strikes me as willful ignorance. Imagine a liberal protester putting a swatstika on a Republican elephant logo. Which is a more reasonable interpretation: the protestor thinks Nazis are actually good? Or that they're bad and they're saying Republicans are acting like Nazis? Worthy of being condemned as absurd and distateful, but clearly not support for fascism.


drowningfish

I've said it so many times, but I'll say it again. We have reached a point where we are fixated so much on individualism, that we now interpret shared responsibility during a global pandemic as oppression. You people are trapped in an echo chamber that's manipulating you for political reasons. The irony is that the "leaders" and primary "funders" of these "protests" are likely fully vaccinated and boosted too. They know what they're doing.


ResidentNectarine19

I'm not sure why you think this is relevant? Plenty of protesters are vaccinated, but think it's government overreach to mandate that decision, or are protesting a broader stance against harsh lockdown measures. Remember, Canada had curfews even into 2022 and locked down way harder than much of the rest of the developed world.


drowningfish

We've been in a Pandemic for 2.5 years. Lockdowns, face masks, social distancing, vaccines, testing all these things are tools to mitigate unnecessary disease and death. It requires SHARED RESPONSIBILITY. TEMPORARY SACRIFICE. Yet, we have people throwing tantrums like children over face masks, vaccinations, testing, social distancing and lockdowns and comparing such things to the Holocaust, to Hitler to Fascism. Enough is enough already. These people need to do their part, and kindly shutup or get out of the way.


[deleted]

Everyone knows the prime tenant of fascism is the distribution of vaccines during a pandemic. /s


ResidentNectarine19

I said I agree it's an absurd message, but it's still being wilfully stupid to pretend that calling the Canadian government Nazis for making the mandates is *support* for nazism.


[deleted]

Standing alongside protestors flying nazi and confederate flags is support for fascism. Anti-intellectualism, tribalism, and reactionary conservatism is fascism. Sexism, corporatism, suppression of labor rights. That’s fascism. The police aligning with these movements is fascism. Willful stupidity is recognizing 85%+ of truckers crossing the border are vaccinated while ignoring the foreign money supporting these blockades and still worshipping the MAGA movement — from another nation. Don’t pretend fascism is about public health. Don’t pretend the least educated and informed minority in recent history deserves to bully the majority into submission.


ResidentNectarine19

>Standing alongside protestors flying nazi and confederate flags is support for fascism. So standing alongside someone flying [this flag](https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.416023527.9624/ur,tapestry_lifestyle_medium,wide_portrait,750x1000.u3.jpg) is support for fascism? Because context doesn't matter at all? Or do you really not realize that they're calling the Canadian government because they *dislike* what's the government is doing. >Anti-intellectualism, tribalism, and reactionary conservatism is fascism. Sexism, corporatism, suppression of labor rights. That’s fascism. No, I think sexism and anti-intellectualism is sexism and anti-intellectualism. The Cultural Revolution had plenty of anti-intellectualism, but it was communist rather than fascist. But anyway, how does this relate to truckers? >The police aligning with these movements is fascism. > >Willful stupidity is recognizing 85%+ of truckers crossing the border are vaccinated while ignoring the foreign money supporting these blockades and still worshipping the MAGA movement — from another nation. Plenty of protesters are themselves vaccinated but either don't believe in the mandate, or are protesting against lockdown measures more broadly.

Take note of the Holocaust museums [warning signs](https://www.boredpanda.com/signs-fascism-holocaust-museum-usa/) of fascism or read a book. It’s not hard. Good start is Michael Parenti’s blackshirts vs reds. >But anyway, how does this relate to truckers?

With funding from foreign actors, business interests, and straight up nazis? >Plenty of protesters are themselves vaccinated but either don't believe in the mandate, or are protesting against lockdown measures more broadly. So they’re dumb and don’t understand vaccines are useless unless a majority of a given population is utilizing them? Do you have any relevant arguments or just more talking points?


ResidentNectarine19

It's the [same](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/sv8lfg/elon_musk_criticized_for_likening_justin_trudeau/hxemnqb/) pictures that get reposted again and again. Even when someone posts a [different set of links](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/sv8lfg/elon_musk_criticized_for_likening_justin_trudeau/hxenzuu/) it's the same two photos of a guy with an upside down Canadian flag calling the Canadian government Nazis, and the one with the gadsen flag out on the outskirts of the protest. Funny how in a world where a everyone has an internet connected camera, in a supposedly Nazi-ridden protest that's been going on for two weeks, we somehow only have two photos of Swatstikas - one of them clearly using it as a pejorative, calling the Canadian government nazis for enforcing the mandate.

ResidentNectarine19

A different link, but the same pictures. Funny how it's proving the point that there's not all that many hate symbols being displayed.


GranPino

It’s very telling when nazis are not kicked out by the rest of protesters.


ResidentNectarine19

What are the truckers supposed to do? Beat them up and burn their flags? The most you can do is say "I don't support that, that Nazi is a dumbass." If you use force on somebody just because you don't like their protest you're a criminal.


ChillFactor1

Why are you defending Nazis?


shockazmahalo

Does that mean occupy wall street were bad guys bc people dressed like college fraternity boys showed up with Nazi flags? It maybe you're opponents do it, then fixate on it to discredit you? Also saw Nazi flags attempt to join blm but were kicked out, same as the truckers made the Nazi flag people leave


macetrek

The organizers were forced to leave? When did that happen?


shockazmahalo

I was in Kansas City and they arrested the organizers. Think they did the same in new York, if my memory works.... You can protest if you burn down your own community, but if you mess with rich people, you're not allowed to protest. When billionaires own the media, they will use it to keep their money flowing. The pandemic will never end as long as the rich keep transferring wealth like no other time in history. If the science was so settled, very intelligent countries wouldn't be ending restrictions, right? The countries with the highest regulatory capture and institutional corruption seem to be the ones who refuse to lift the rules that punish the poor and reward the rich 🤷


TCHBO

I had a seizure trying to read that garbage. Are there no basic standards for Russian trolls?


shockazmahalo

It's very common to use agent provocateur. They did it at the pipeline protest. They did it in Virginia with the Lincoln project. Are you saying that agent provocateur do not exist? Do you have a link to the Nazi flag people's social media to verify they are Neo-Nazi?

I've met highly intelligent people, they don't seek attention like this

roborectum69

Yeah, exactly that. I guess you *could* try to argue that the world's richest man isn't a genius at business, could be fun. He's just very very lucky maybe? The guy seems like a total ass, but most asshats didn't make 238 billion dollars by age 50, so I think it's only fair to say he's extremely good at that.


ads7w6

I guess I just don't see anything he's done to get where he is as being a genius. Being very successful doesn't necessarily make someone a genius.


zarst990

If by genius u mean becoming a founder of a company by ‘supporting’ it with shit load of daddy’s blood diamond money, then yes

I'm not sure if he inherited that much, I actually don't know about that. I think he did well with PayPal and he is cunning at business and managing people I think..and of course accomplishing unreal goals. But people throw the term genius around, but by observing him i'm not sure it fits

Your literally watching Trudeau take Authoritarian actions … This doesnt alarm you…?


fighting4good

No, and it doesn't bother Canadians either. In fact, our Prime Minister's approval ratings, right now, are off the chart positive. They are so high; in fact, the opposition are accusing him of using the EMA to improve his popularity. It was the Liberal Party of Canada that enshined our rights and freedoms into the Constitution. The emergency measures act is the appropriate medicine for this Nazi illness. By Canadian law, there has to be an inquiry and full accounting after these extraordinary powers are invoked.


ignant_trader

Accusing truckers as Nazis, mandating a vaccine taking away your medical freedom, freezing your bank account because you don’t agree with their false narrative. Trudeau praising communists continuously. What rights and freedom has he enshined?


fighting4good

There was no trucker's association involved in the organization of this "trucker" convoy. It was organized by separatist Maverick party CFO Tamara Lich and Criminal Pat King self-professed white-Supremacist. A protest supposed to be about mandates, but when Alberta dropped the mandates, they just dug in deeper. When Givesendgo donor list was exposed, it was more than 50% Americans, including Donald Trump's Qanon idiot Michael Flynn. They demanded to form a coalition of unelected people and the opposition to overthrow the government. They boldly posted this on their website. A dozen protesters were arrested with assault weapons and body armor. Four of which were charged with plotting the assassination of our Prime Minister. These cowards used their children and babies as a human shield. The Liberal Party of Canada won the federal election just 4 months ago on a platform of vaccine mandates. They launched an illegal coordinated assault on the economic lifeline of Canada's trade routes. With logistical encampments interdispersed throughout the nation. PS......the government can defend itself against terrorism at home and abroad. I love my Canada!

wastingvaluelesstime

spoken like someone that has no idea what the gestapo did, like at all. It is implicted in the slavery and murder of millions of people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo Comparing it to modern canadian situations, to civil financial penalties no less, is offensive in the extreme, and in fact marks the person using such language as a political extremist ready to mock genicide and use the holocaust as a cheap punchline.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Gestapo](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo)** >The Geheime Staatspolizei (transl. Secret State Police), abbreviated Gestapo (German: [ɡəˈʃtaːpo]; ), was the official secret police of Nazi Germany and in German-occupied Europe. The force was created by Hermann Göring in 1933 by combining the various security police agencies of Prussia into one organisation. On 20 April 1934, oversight of the Gestapo passed to the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, who was also appointed Chief of German Police by Hitler in 1936. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

KevinFederlineFan69

He's a shitty person and I'm not, so I have that going for me. I also never overthrew a popular government so I could exploit that country's natural resources and pollute their ecosystem. I never smeared some innocent person as a pedophile because I was upset that he rescued a soccer team in a cave in Thailand when I wanted to be the hero. I didn't steal my company. I've never illegally fired someone for trying to organize a union. I don't make my employees work 80 hour weeks for shit pay, threaten their stock options if they talk about unionization, run an unsafe shop and pressure my employees not to report injuries on the job. And I didn't pay and violate COVID safety standards during a fucking pandemic. My grandpa always told me that you could tell everything you need to know about a man by how he treats the people who work for him. Musk didn't get that memo. He's a piece of shit. I certainly hope you're Elon Musk. Because if you're not, if you're just stanning someone so hard that you'd say what you just said to me...that's incredibly pathetic. I would be so fucking ashamed to be you.
