When should blockades should be supported?

[Austrian Economics]

The blockades might not have even been considered if governments had not turned a blind eye to a series of blockades and occupations going back several years, whereby the police were instructed to do nothing because of the political views of the protesters. The Haldimand tract debacle is but one example.

Driving slowly down a road is not illegal. Blocking traffic is illegal, but if large enough numbers of people engage in it and frequently enough, the police simply run out of people to enforce it. The protests have devolved into a pointless game of whack-a-mole which is only going to end when the governments, both federal and provincial, start taking the protests seriously and negotiate. Negotiation has not been made easier by governments which sought to smear and demonize the protesters from day one.

Marginalized, psychologically battered people will eventually feel that they are backed into a corner and have nothing left to lose by engaging in "unapproved" activities. What did people think would happen when the state invoked perpetual lockdowns for over 2 years?

Cracks are already starting to form even within the federal Liberals. A Liberal MP spoke critically of pandemic policy this morning.

Fighting fire with fire... civil disobedience to immoral unethical laws is a right and responsibility in a free and democratic civilization.

Revealing... like the CWB monopoly falsely claiming it controlled global grain prices... Vaccines have no more controlled Covid-19... than the CWB marketing monopoly controlled grain prices. Faulty logic... does not justify faulty laws.

If there ever was a white supremist statement - this is it.

"I am white and the only thing that matters is me me me"

I thought I saw a sign on one of the truck said honk for lesbians.

I would rather this country burn to the ground before I let a bunch of marxist bandits take it over.

Tom you are slipping into the rabbit hole of antivax rhetoric that vaccines don't work? LOL

Just how would you be qualified to say that my farmer friend? Its a bold face lie and everybody except the antivax weirdos know it.

Yes most protestors think they are acting in their best interests or the best interest of the country, group or special interests.

But that doesn't answer the question. Do you want unlawful blockades to be used until protestors occupiers get their way?

And to answer the question you don't need to rehash the arguments for or against any particular protest or blockade.

yes, some blockades are the only way , if it is for the greater good of the country

did you read my answer , can you even read ,lol

Of course the blockade is legal. It is THEIR blockade. Any other is 100% illegal.

The bigger question is, do farmers here support the racist answer given? Is there a single farmer here that disagrees with WiltonRanch's racist statement of white power?

Anyone?

For reference:

You have alluded to this before and it is a conundrum. Think what differentiates the current Ottawa occupation is that it has transcended the vaccine and Covid bs to a catch all for people pissed off with where this country is headed and the dipshits at the helm. This is bigger than some tree huggers or pissed off natives.

But that is what every blockade protestor thinks so how are you going to justify stopping the next one that you disagree with?

We know that some right wingers often have racist bigoted views. And the majority of those that don't, seem to have a problem when it comes to calling out those who do.

And then they wonder why they are accused of supporting or indirectly condoning those extremists on the fringe of their organizations?

You can see them dance around the issue of racism and bigotry in their support of the unlawful occupation of Ottawa. Some of the organizers have a long resume of hate speech that have tainted the protest. But the phony excuses are made and continue.

At least one liberal mp is not falling for the incessant race baiting and falsehoods, spewed by other uneducated liberals.
