Canadian Truckers Convoy 2022 - The Leaf calls you a Nazi as he gasses you

I am still utterly baffled by the soyboys in the comments who have been shocked to find out AvE isn't an effete urbane bugman like they are.
It was discussed some pages ago... the absolute antithesis of the bugman is being a handyman. Despite decades of avoiding such work myself because I am truly shit at using tools *at least I try*.
 
Workers are considered just tools to be used by these people.

They have no expectation for them to rise up in the same way I don't expect my socket set to rise up if I break the head off a wrench.
Looking forward to them finding out what happens when you piss off the people that transport your food.
 
I want to call you names, but I'm going to explain this as calmly as I can. No one in the military can make any kind of statement or play politics while in uniform. You can't say " I'm in the military and I support blah blah." I'm 100% guaranteeing that no Canadian soldier will take an order to bear arms against the civilians they are supposed to protect. Saying they chose sides is far from the truth. I apologize if someone else replied to you already.
Canadian military members who support the protest should take to carrying a copy of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms around with them, in a visible pocket or somesuch. Could they be punished for carrying a reference to the laws they're sworn to uphold?

It's a parent coddling participation trophy thing. I have left a swath of broken incompetents in my wake who wanted to "watch and help and learn" to fix cars. They learned pretty quick that I expect them to actually do those things. Not hold their hand and walk them through everything. No, you are the one who will remove the broken exhaust stud. Not I. Go fuck yerself. Pain and suffering is how you learn. That is how these dues are paid.
 
Terrorist is an invented term anyway. You can fit the meaning to anything you hate. At this point it may as well be defined as "a person who takes action with an agenda that other people notice".
It's a mostly meaningless (in other words, very versatile) pejorative. The ones we're supposed to like are called "freedom fighters" or whatever (maybe not that one anymore, since freeDUMB is Literally Hitler now), while the ones we're not supposed to like are called "terrorists." I tend to think of the term "terrorist" as something like the modern equivalent of the Greco-Roman world calling people they don't like "barbarians."
 
I'm still playing catch-up with this thread but need to go to sleep. I suspect this is going to be a busy thread tomorrow.

Interesting article... Look at the approval of the based on age range... 61% age 18-34 generally support the truckers, and support drops with age.

And just to add a song to the mix:

Older people mostly Gen x are busy eatting Dem, CNN and NPR dicks.

I learned a ton from my dad growing up and having to assist in all the home and auto and electronic repairs.

In retrospect, I wish I'd paid more attention than I did. At the time I thought I was just cheap help, but he was really teaching me how to be a man.

That matches up with the results of that other Angus Reid poll that came out not too long ago, where literally the only group that still had majority support for mandates and restrictions were elderly women. Every single other age/sex demographic group had majority support for dropping everything.

I mean, this really isn't a surprise. The older you are, the more you watch legacy news. My parents have been supporting the protests (from Florida) but mentioned QAnon types, which...mindboggled me. Nobody gives a shit about QAnon except legacy media outlets to try to tarnish anything remotely challenging the right wing/populist movements.

There's an attitude thing going on there, too. I enjoy handiwork, and especially learning how to do something new. I can see whining about having to do something for the hundredth time, but I'm quite happy to learn (or be taught hands-on) how to do basically anything new, even if it's difficult or unpleasant; perhaps especially if it's difficult or unpleasant. The brain doles out bigger dopamine hits for overcoming bigger challenges.

People's neurochemistry getting fried from shit like Netflix, video games, and especially endless scroll apps like most social media, or in particular as of late, Tiktok, is probably a factor.

Reminder that IQ drops significantly as one grows older. Father Time basically turns you into a retard.
