> all they have dove is gifted trudy dictatorship powers Actually they've done more than that. The state has unwittingly walked into and sprung the bear trap. What they have done is said to every radical on the planet that *peaceful protest doesn't work*, and that grievances are going to go unanswered. And to confirm this the "peaceposting" trend which I and others participated in, where peace is *explicitly* encouraged but the rhetoric sounds violent (without encouraging it), provoked them for the first real, major push, to shut don poal, and a renewed push to shut down gab. This tells us that the only real thing they fear is that kind of rhetoric. It also tells us most of the totalitarian measures and demonization rhetoric coming out of the various western regimes is to *discourage* this kind of talk. And finally it tell us whether the propaganda "dont say anything or do anything, the state is *trying* to provoke a conflict" is demoralization/psychological operations, or a genuine opinion on the middle and right. By knowing what they overreact to, we know what the various western regimes fear. And that tell us the kind of rhetoric thats damaging to the regimes. Which explains all the push for the narrative to be "dont say or do anything! The state wants an overreaction or serious backlash!" It's the exact opposite of what they want. They're terrified. And when they couldn't break up the protest, and this bluff was called, ironically by remaining peaceful, the state resorted to what it had already been planning in the case of DC and Ottawa: using violence against citizens. When the fear of "dont do or say anything" failed, and people organized anyway, (peaceful or otherwise), notice thats when the narrative shifted? It was no longer "dont do or say anything because the state wants an overreaction!" It was "freedom is terrorism. Exercising freedom is terrorism." Because the goal here, is the same as the goal of those spreading "the state WANTS us to organize, speak in public, and fight them." The goal was to discourage these very things in both cases. But especially to discourage rhetoric that sounds explicitly aggressive and hostile. They want us arguing and masturbating with philosophy like middle of the road libertarians, when the politics is about emotions, and the most effective organizing drive is anger. And because anything the ottawa police do, like the DC police, ultimately boils down to bludgeoning the public, every time they do, they increase the public anger. Which is why them crushing the convoy is necessary and prerequisite to destabilizing the canadian government, let alone the western/UK/DC junta. Use anger. Anger works. Remain peaceful, but make the situation sound volatile enough to scare the state into overreacting. In fact its pure projection isn't it? Funny that. The states goons say "dont say or do anything, the state wants an overreaction to justify emergency powers." When in fact the state is worried about managing its own reaction against an out of control situation. Thats the behavior of an animal thats been cornered with no good options. Explains why half the police force, and several officials have resigned in the case of ottawa. Explains the resignations in DC too: They see the same scenarios becoming more and more likely here in the u.s.
