| Go to /r/ottawa. Read the megathreads on what's going on. Maybe you'll start to understand why many are celebrating this hack. Why so many Ottawans are very angry about what's going on. There's been non-stop noise at all hours. Residents downtown who've faced constant harassment. Attempts made by the occupiers to lock residents in. Businesses forced to shut. Roadways and highways blocked for days. They're terrorizing the residents of downtown. And in the face of all of this, the police have essentially surrendered. They're calling for Trudeau to be overthrown and arrested. They're not only occupying the center of the capital, they spent 6 days blocking the most important economic transport line in Canada. They've blockaded border points in the West too. Closing some essential crossings. If this was a poor, developing nation, you'd be labeling this as an insurrection. And you'd be correct. And about the nazi thing, yeah, that's probably an accurate label. Many of the leadership are white supremacists. The connections to far right groups are clear. Hell, there's many of these idiots carrying Confederate flags in Canada of all places. If you're proudly waving the Confederate flag in 2022 in a place that's far far from the South, I think it's pretty clear what you support. And on top of all that, there's clear evidence much of this was engineered by people in the United States. From the near constant Trump flags flown in the occupation, to the trail of money, to the organizational efforts spearheaded by Americans. Not to mention the organization done in FB groups led by hacked accounts.* There was some serious effort put into this. The fundraising hack will give a little sunlight into those efforts. Not enough sunlight, but it's a start. Seriously, start reading about what the people of Ottawa have endured for the past 3 weeks. You apparently have no knowledge of this. Get back to me and tell me "who the bad guys really are here." * - And do look into the weirdness of the FB organizing. Some Canadian journalists have dug into it. They wondered why the more popular Canadian trucker FB groups had a woman from Missouri as the only admin. And then they discovered the woman from Missouri hasn't been in control of her account for several months now. https://www.grid.news/story/misinformation/2022/02/08/the-ha... |
I don't think I'd support doxxing every construction worker and ruining their future lives, and it wasn't even a political protest.
If we start villifying protests, democracy is finished, and we are back into the feudal days. Which seems to be the trend these days anyway, so perhaps it's all moot.
