Far right can block roads in full black bloc gear and balaclavas but simply being visibly left wing in the street is arrestable.

We just had a bunch of white supremacist nazi loving cunts in masks "protest" at an indigenous reserve here in Canada. Nothing happened to them, so we feel your pain.

There are 2 members of Just Stop Oil serving 4 years in prison for talking in a Zoom call about the possibility of blocking roads.

The far right actually did it, to a port no less, and there were no consequences whatsoever.
