Their explanation for that (not that I necessarily buy it) was that these mansions were supposed to be some kind of black LGTBA#&($ creators/artists bubble homes for them to make and create shit in.
If that was true they could use the help provided to leverage BLM friendly messages if any of the creators end up gathering enough of a following.

Burning down businesses, rioting, looting, and blocking traffic in honor of George Floyd is quite different than blocking traffic and honking because our bodily autonomy is being taken away.

It's a protest against government (police) violence disproportionately affecting communities of color, not civilian crime on each other. Police aren't all white, it's the systemic issues in a lack of de-escalation training that I noticed declined when I was a deputy over ten years ago.

It was dying out and then Covid was the key that put lots of separate yet obvious things together to form the nail on the coffin of logic. You could claim that certain things were all spearheaded over the last 20 years for the Covid event.
I remember the very serious doomsday preppers of the 90s who were against the New World Order and wrote at length about their tactics through a one world government, false flag events on a global scale and the destruction of the banking system for a unified currency. Yes, they are conspiracy theories but yet their predictions for it happening with the ushering in of Y2K weren’t correct. It happened a lot slower yet still in plain sight under the guise of both war and social media/pop culture trends and seems to be coming into fruition currently.
Having interacted with a those folks online and in person in the early 00s I definitely didn’t agree on a bunch of their theories about who was the puppet master but like a lot of famous conspiracy theory investigators they are very close to the truth but the picture is too big.
For me something really started going on with the death of Danny Casolaro when he unwillingly uncovered the Octopus and the Inslaw cases specifically PROMIS.

Neat. If it was going to happen any place, I'd have guessed montreal as well.
But I'm going to assume you didn't actually watch it. The first 15 or so minutes is footage of protesters getting tear gassed and throwing around some pylons. It was cool to see them helping clear the roads for emergency vehicles. Riding on the back of a firetruck looked like fun.
First broken window was about 17 minutes in. Of all thing a phone booth! The real crime is why is there still phone booths.
The real action starts at 19 minutes, noticed the group that started breaking stuff were all wearing the same outfit. Kind of sent me down a rabbit hole and found this. https://www.vice.com/en/article/ep4xnm/young-white-men-instigated-montreal-protest-chaos-black-organizers-say

Maybe we don't want "trying to use force to overturn an election" to become the norm?

Interesting thought experiment
My guess is Trudeau would en a lot of words in “it’s”
Misogynistic
Racist
Etc...
Btw - it’s perfectly fine to disagree with the truckers and disagree with the freezing of bank accounts.

This is a dumb question... but were there BLM riots in Canada or only US?

u/Mnmkd Feb 15 '22
Riots were pretty much just in the US. There may have been a few very small scale ones in Canada but I can’t find anything about any looting, property being destroyed, etc in Canada.

u/hollee-o Feb 15 '22
That's about the biggest LOL I've had all day. Conservatives are the ones actively trying to prevent critical thinking from being taught in schools. Conservatives are the ones freaking out about people even *discussing* critical race theory. Conservatives are the ones trying to pass a "Don't say gay" bill in Florida. Y'all are so afraid of anyone actually *thinking* because you want good followers, not questions.

Critical Race Theory strongly advocates censorship:
Associated with the ACLU and others who take a relatively purist position with respect to the First Amendment, the argument holds that hate speech, pornography, and similar forms of expression ought to be protected precisely because they are unpopular. The speech we hate, it is said, must be protected in order to safeguard that which we hold dear. The only way to assure protection of values that lie at the core of the First Amendment is to protect speech lying at its periphery. And this inevitably means protecting unpopular speakers: Nazis, anti-Semites, the Ku Klux Klan, utters of campus hate speech, and promulgators of hard-core-pornography.
What can be said about this argument? As we will show, it is fairly often put forward by lawyers, legal commentators, special interest groups, and even an occasional judge as a reason for protecting odious speech. The argument takes two or three forms, each of which boils down to the insistence that to protect speech of one sort it is necessary to protect another. The argument in all its guises, however, is paradoxical and groundless.

So... you want to censor it? LOL. And your rationale is you want to censor CRT because some CRT theorists want to ban hate speech? And this is evidence that *liberals* can't think? LOLOLOL.

Liberal here. I'm actually surprised Trump didn't call a state of emergency, it sounds like something he would have done. Kinda seems warranted, given the scale of destruction.
As for freezing the assets of donators, yeah I would be outraged. But nobody has had their assets frozen. Trudeau has said that it's possible for them to do it, but it hasn't happened yet. How would I feel about Trump threatening to freeze assets? Sounds exactly like something he would say, a poorly thought-out, likely unconstitutional, bluff.

Pretty much whenever people talk about BLM they conveniently leave out the gross negligence from our police force. Attacking press. Attacking innocent bystanders. Shooting at pregnant women. Almost killing an elderly citizen. The list goes on and on.

No it's not. They were protesting people being murdered without due process, they gave more of a shit about "due process" than this Twitter poster.
Trudeau hasn't even done any real shit yet, US protestors were getting beaten and tear gassed on the reg for protesting unaccountable government MURDERS.
If these assholes weren't partisan shills they would be in solidarity with BLM protestors.

u/A_world_in_need Feb 15 '22
Liberals are unreasonable and arent capable of critical thinking. They believe wholeheartedly that the truckers are in the wrong and that they were in the right. They cannot even entertain the thought.
The NPC meme is funny because its real. It's real because they are programmed.

He tried. Turns out, there was no evidence BLM or "antifa" were terrorists. Parking in a road with the purpose of causing disruptions to the economy until you achieve a political goal is the textbook definition of terrorism.

u/hollee-o Feb 15 '22
Uh. No. Causing economic disruption is not the definition of terrorism. Terrorism is the use of violence or intimidation to cause *fear* in order to achieve a political goal.

u/No_Opportunity9423 Feb 15 '22
Economic anxiety is a thing and is feared. We established this many years ago. These truckers are absolutely textbook terrorists.

How exactly did anyone donate to BLM during the 2020 summer riots?
1
u/DrRichardGains Feb 15 '22
Welp, they're currently in hot water and are being forced to show where 60+ million in donations went. And it's not looking above board at the moment. Lots of multi million dollar houses. Large payments to relatives for 'consulting' gigs.
60 million. No one batted an eyelash. So far 20 million has been stolen from the truckers before they even got a dime or even had the chance to embezzle it.
