It’s pretty damn funny watching the American alt-right getting all snowflakey over their culture wars in another country they never pay attention to and know little about, all the while endorsing lawlessness and chaos they’d otherwise condemn if black people and antifa idiots were doing the same thing.
But this isn’t about “freedom.” It’s about 24/7 culture wars, “owning the libs,” acting like a petulant three-year old when you don’t get what you want when you want it no matter what because feelings, rage-clicking, and getting soaked by the grifters because RAORRR!! Anger! Whargarbal!!
This commentator shows how little interest there is online about the Ottawa convoys from, you know, actual real people.
Nailed it!

What I’ve seen in small doses poking around convoy posts actually lines up with new findings which were partially published by group of researchers last week in The Atlantic: It’s looking more and more likely that a huge bulky of Facebook’s content in America is being created by an incredibly small pocket of absolutely deranged power users who spend their days fantasizing about political violence in the comments of conservative Facebook pages. And the researchers in The Atlanticzeroed in on Shapiro’s page as a hotbed for this exact kind of activity.
But, most importantly of all, I’m not even sure you can define this as “viral”. There may be real people engaging with these stories, but they aren’t spreading in any meaningful way beyond the handful of giant pages pushing them. And those pages are getting much less engagement compared to where they were two or three years ago. Instead, I think it’s probably time to call this what it is: a fringe Canadian protest movement being promoted by a glorified tweetdecking operation run by a bunch of American influencers as a desperate attempt to keep their accounts relevant.
Nailed it!
Stop trying to make convoys happen
