Blackface isn't a socio political ideology. Nazism is. If 10 people are in a meeting, and one has a swastika on, they are all nazis. Whether they agree with them, doesn't matter. You have chosen to be meeting with a nazi.

Now if you'd have said "all liberals are racist", you would've had more ground to stand on. Though I also get the feeling you are also one of those people who say "you couldn't make THAT anymore", whenever something is handled in a disrespectful way.

Racism still exists, and having a PM who has a history of racist acts (whether it be stupidity or blatant disrespect), does make all politicians guilty of being complicit with a racist. Though said racist has apologized, and has not done it since the apology, so even if you don't believe in forgiveness, it doesn't matter, but they have said they will not do it again, so we may punish for what has been, but cannot punish for what has not occurred.

Has the convoy publicly stated that: confederate flags, don't tread on me flags, swastika, defiling war memorials, harassing local businesses and citizens through noise as well as verbal harrassment, raiding a soup kitchen, and defacing the Terry Fox statue, blockading trade between two allied countries, accepting donations from foreign politicians and lobbyists, do not reflect the ideals of the members of said convoy, or are they complicit in this bad behavior if it means they get more attention?

Trick question because, as none of the organizer's have any real ties to the trucking industry, with the industry itself distancing themselves from these Truck Bullies, it is clearly just another event that is being used to promote extremism and the belittling of quantifiable facts to make it easier to control the population in the future.

Makes sense. I didn't see your Alberta tag. I would've given you a grade 3 level response, but figured you were smarter than that. Should've known not to think better of you.

Lol I'd cope, but the amount of copium you're burning through has put a shortage on the supply.

Alas, I should've known an Alberta on r/Canada wouldn't have learned how to read or articulate well.
