Having not learned anything in engaging with you I will foolishly do so again.
Some important distinctions.
I and people like me never had issues with BLM protests. We had issues with the looting, arson, and murders. We also had issues with leaders saying protests were not allowed due to covid for things like lockdowns, churches, schools, etc... but literally joined in the BLM because they supported the cause. You'd think you would too, but that's too much an ask I guess.
Secondly, the premise of their protests is faulty and not based in reality. That's OK... they still have a right to protest... but I believe they are wildly misinformed on their grievance. They would be wise to get educated
On the Canada side... to my knowledge, there is no property destruction happening. Nobody has been murdered. It is the definition of a peaceful protest and civil disobedience
Secondly, the premise of the protest is fully legitimate. They are being mandated by their government to inject something in their body they do not want. They do not have freedom of movement. They cannot even shop in grocery stores in many areas, and they cannot leave their own country. This is a huge human rights violation that they are protesting loudly, and peavefully
Finally, Canada's response to this protest is full on authoritarian. They are stealing property from them, like gas and wood. They are forcing private companies to not deliver donated funds to the cause. They are seizing bank accounts of protesters and those who are supporting them. They have invoked essentially marshal law - which they have never done in their history. They are labeling the protestors as terrorists, and are arresting them without cause.
You can decide to think that protest is stupid, and that the government response is just. I think you are on the wrong side of history - but leftists always find themselves on the side of the tyrants
So this is a whole lot of nothing here that didn't answer my question. Why is it ok to condemn BLM for millions in damages. But not condemn this for the hundreds of millions they've done in economic damages.
Seriously you're dodging the key questiosn to state your beliefs.
