So far and only because they didn't have strategies in place to deal with events, which they will ultimately frame as a 'insurrection', make examples of people, shame and doxx them as a dark warning to others to to try this in future

What do you mean, they don't have strategies? Billy clubs, steel toe boots, rubber bullets, pepper spray and tear gas on day 1. Haul the truckers out of their cabs, flanked by SWAT troopers with assault weapons. Drag 'em out by their hair. They've got tons of practice doing that already. Why did the police wait for an injunction this time? Why did it take weeks to secure that injunction?

Quite a few of the goon quad types you describe are more interested in their personal freedom than beating people up it seems based on watching the Glasnost-esque live feeds from Ottawa etc

This has been quite a problem for the ruling classes

Interesting side thought, this whole debacle has made me see the real value of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies..

You mean where your support for a controversial political movement would be irrevocably public? If this list had leaked Bitcoin addresses, the next thing you'd see would be a report of everything else those addresses had been used for.

As one of the donors included in this hack, I am not entirely sure what they're out to accomplish. Despite eye-rolling media mischaracterizations of these truckers as you-know-whats, it's a run of the mill workers strike. It has also been extremely peaceful and frankly comical at times. (We can contrast this with the "fiery yet mostly peaceful protests" of 2020 that negatively affected working class neighborhoods and…

Considering that you live in Austin how do you know the exact nature of the protests? Have you visited? Or is this what you read/saw in media? It's also interesting how you contrast this to the BLM protests. I'm not sure how long a BLM protest would have been allowed to block a major traffic artery worth the 100s of million $ per day?

>arson, vandalism, and looting between May 26 and June 8 were tabulated to have caused $1–2 billion in insured damages nationally—the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

"$1-2 billion" from the George Floyd protests is between $70 million and $140 million a day, for 14 days. So that data might help you triangulate an answer to your question of "how long."

Wayback machine has taken snapshots of GoSendGone including the csv.

What is GoSendGone?

GiveSendGo is a crowdfunding site like GoFundMe, made by Andrew Torba and the others behind Gab etc., as an alternative to GoFundMe given that GoFundMe is politically picky about which kinds of causes it allows donations for and which kinds of causes they redistribute the raised funds of to other charities instead.

it could have a better name imo

The protest is super unpopular in canada. It could just as easily be a random canadian citizen who is pissed about the protest and wants to prove that the protest is not grass roots but foreign meddling.

The polls I've seen had ~half of Canadians sympathetic to the protests [1], and about 20% strongly supporting. It's completely true that it could be one highly motivated individual, but that has nothing to do with your first assertion (which is a mixed truth at best). I think that the government's claim (echoed by many media outlets) that this is purely a fringe movement has added fuel to the fire. [1] https://global…

I see your poll and raise you this one https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/02/12/two-thirds-of-canadia... where 2/3 of canada don't just dislike the protest but hate them so much they want the military to deal with them.

I thought these protests were negatively affecting working class neighborhoods as well by honking horns during the night? I’m not holding a strong opinion on the subject but it’s kind of silly bias to compare this to blm with your phrasing. Blacks have been through much much worse for hundreds of years, so the truckers going through troubling times for 2 years doesn’t really justify the comparison.

And where is that lost millions in donations that was supposed to go towards their causes, exactly?

I'm mean first we have those defending hundreds of millions of damage to businesses including black-owned ones and now we have ones defending fraudsters unable to file their financial reports and instead go off with millions worth of donations unaccounted for.

Sounds like a very successful scam executed by the founders to fool lots of people driven by emotion and outrage.

There’s no way you can objectively back this up. Not to mention you’re saying because some dead people had worse conditions it’s ok to make conditions for the living bad. That type of logic only applies to groups you dislike.

You live in Austin and donated to support protests in Canada? I’m curious about that - why are you actively getting involved in another country?

Because I'm sympathetic to their plight. I'm a class traitor frankly. My whole family works in jobs like this that have been impacted. One of my old co-founders was a 24 big-rig truck mechanic and his dad is being put out of business by the California CARB restrictions. But aside from the specifics, I find it odd that people are decrying cross-national donations of money to causes. Were similar complaints made about…

These protests are a disruption specific to the internal affairs of Canada. The U.S. has long had a dominant power relationship with the rest of the continent. The way that Americans have imposed their views on both sides of this internal conflict is both patronizing and deleterious to the self-determination of the Canadian people. It would be as suspect if one was to donate to the Shining Path, the Contras, the Medellín Cartel, or any other faction.

Because they were not one of those inconvenienced by the protests.

> I thought these protests were negatively affecting working class neighborhoods as well by honking horns during the night? Truckers aren't burning down neighborhoods or looting small business right now. Yet a good chunk of Americans had no problem with all that US 2 years ago, in the middle of a freaking pandemic. But honking is now where people draw the line? > Blacks have been through much much worse for hundreds…

Uhhh it’s definitely less valid? Truckers are complaining about vaccine passports, blm was complaining about being killed by police officers.
