I don't care what side you're on, don't use kids for propaganda. That's all I have to say.

@alyx @crunklord420 Libs would do the exact same. If they had kids, anyways.

@horsesoldier @crunklord420
Is that supposed to be a reason why it's ok? Cause all I'm hearing is further reason why the truckers or their supporters shouldn't do it.

@alyx @crunklord420 You are witnessing a peaceful protest with fairly reasonable demands being violently suppressed after the liberal government invoked a law which had last been invoked during the World Wars and an event which involved kidnappings and murders. There are media shills at work lying and smearing the protesters as being various -ists and -phobes, while the police's own media shills justify their murder of an elderly woman by lying about it. The act which enables this brutality was passed to suppress a peaceful protest, in what amounted to a glorified temper tantrum by the government, whose will is being carried by worthless golems with a fetish for violence. These people would rather kill every single protester, peaceful or otherwise, than even consider speaking to one of them for even a millisecond. No amount of principles, morality, niceness or anything of the sort will stop them because liberals are monsters who hate you and want you dead for not thanking them when they fuck you. It follows then that any and all measures which can be used to stop them are equally valid, up to and including bringing kids to the protest. Even if they hadn't the social media shills would just make something up. All that matters is winning, because if they don't win they're already dead or worse. They'll be arrested, bank accounts frozen, the kids will be taken away from them. Thinking about morality doesn't matter when your enemy is fundamentally immoral, and moreover will use your morals against you.

@horsesoldier @crunklord420
I literally don't care. They could be fighting the forces of Satan and Hitler reincarnated. YOU DON'T USE CHILDREN FOR PROPAGANDA. That's basically my one rule.

@alyx @horsesoldier @crunklord420

A principled coward

In your own words, you'd rather let Satan win then bend your principles to be effective.
You would rather let us all die then betray your imaginary and arbitrary principles.
You hide behind your principles to avoid taking responsibility for your own actions.

And yes, letting a child repeat some script for the camera is manipulative. We do it because it works, coward.

@dioma @crunklord420 @horsesoldier
You do it because you're immoral and allow yourself to do it. Don't pretend you're doing it for the better good. Fucking Biden and Trudeau will say that their tyranny is for the better good.

@alyx @crunklord420 @horsesoldier evil wins because good peoples only response is turning the other cheek.

Fuck you.

@dioma @crunklord420 @horsesoldier
No. Evil wins because good people let themselves become corrupted under the pretext that they're doing it for "the better good".

@alyx You are working under the impression that there are rules or any sort of legal process here. That if you just act so moral and keep protesting that one day things will just magically sort themselves out. At no point in history has that ever become true. Every revolution, even the more 'peaceful' ones involved force in some way and a subsequent persecution of state enemies which could not be integrated into the new state. In France, thirty consecutive weeks of protests against internal passports (or "health passes" if you want to use a euphemism to mystify them) have not produced any meaningful result. The protesters go in, the gendarmes maul them with dogs and riot gear, then they do it all again next week, rinse and repeat in various major nations' capitals. What we learn is that the ones in power only listen to - and therefore can only be appealed to - with dirty tactics and force.
Are you a libertarian? If you are, my advice is that you eagerly embrace the liberal side. The place for "free market" supporters, at this point, is with the managerial state and its corporate allies (or masters, depending on how you see it)
If you care in any way about personal liberties and national self-determination you are considered "far-right" by any modern Western regime.

All I'm hearing from you is "but it's for the greater good", which is literally what every tyrant has ever done.

Right now, you, and other people that have attacked me for this one rule of mine, have convinced me that you don't actually give a shit about the truckers or their rights. They seem to be just another tool for you to overthrow current regime and institute your own. And seeing how easily you can justify your actions as being "for the greater good", I have no doubt in my mind you'd end up being a tyrant yourself if given the power.

You people didn't even do a "yeah, that's not great, BUT...". You went straight for "WE NEED TO DO THIS TO WIN".

Also, stop talking about liberalism. You have no clue what that is supposed to mean. And I don't give a crap what I would be considered by you or any "modern Western regime".

@alyx Libertarian, then. You should seriously consider joining a DEI department at some NGO. It's best that you realize that your ideological leanings are harmful to any real anti-government sentiment and are only beneficial as a pressure release valve for real and organic dissent to spread.
I can justify my opinions on what needs to be done because Canada is an actual literal prison state which prevents the people the government openly hates from leaving for a place which doesn't, which has run down eight of the ten stages of genocide on parts of its own civilian population in order to coerce them to inject a medical product which offers little-to-no benefit and has demonstrably caused harm. It doesn't take being a scientist to understand said product's mechanism of work and how it can cause harm, either.
The truckers do, in fact, need to win. They need to win because if they don't they are all arrested then they will have their lives arbitrarily ruined to satisfy the childish temper tantrums of the bureaucrats whose enforcers are suppressing them on the streets as we speak, and lying about their actions in the field on social media, whilst being cheered by masses of evil TV watching monsters.
Make no mistake: You are, in the name of sticking to some hypothetical set of "principles", defending the dehumanization of millions of Canadian citizens, and citizens of many nations around the world, over a reasonable refusal to take one specific medical intervention of dubious utility. You are telling me that you would rather the digital police state become the norm, a state where your ability to participate in human society or even earn an income is determined by whether you choose to, or not, inject a useless and outright dangerous treatment into your body, because the people on TV said so. In sticking to your "principles", every single thing which you purport to fight for is stripped away from everyone around you. While you argue with retards online about how "if we do what they're doing we'll be just like them", they run down old ladies and use gas upon unarmed civilians. Whether you realize it or not, you're a hatchetman for the people who arbitrarily call emergency acts because they're angry and lock people in their homes because Chinese propaganda told them it was a good idea.
