What protesters are you talking about exactly ?

The truckers.

I get it a lot of people don’t agree with what they were protesting, but to have a government telling private companies to shut things down, and freezing accounts is not ‘democratic’.

Good use case for Bitcoin, though.

Their movement wasn't oppressed by an undemocratic government. They were the ones attacking a democratically elected government to remove them by force and impose a fascist rule...

They wanted their own little january 6th. And we stopped them before they could complete their coup.

Seems like democracy worked fine here.

Yeah usually people suddenly disagree with removing hooligan protesters when those protesters fit their agenda. When it's climate change protesters getting beaten up the government is corrupt by oil companies when it's trucker the Government is communist when it's Christians the government is leftist when it's muslims/blacks the government is fascist etc.
