Confusion on the Left

For John, BLUF:  Not all demonstrations or protests are judged equal by the Progressives.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

“Mostly peaceful” versus “non-violent dangers.”

From The New Neo, by the Blogger Herself, 1 February 2022.

Here is the lede plus five:

Orwell would take note of the Canadian left’s reaction to the trucker convoy:

You’ve heard of mostly peaceful violence and fiery but mostly peaceful protests. Well, that’s how the leftwing propaganda fiction corporations describe violent thuggish gang-warfare assemblages they approve of.

But how do they describe completely, 100% orderly, violence-free protests they disapprove of?

They accuse those of creating “non-violent dangers.”

In other words, some people have been stirred to fearfulness by left-wing propaganda about the trucker convoy, even though that demonstration hasn’t just been mostly peaceful – it’s been totally peaceful so far.

The COVID--19 Pandemic is creating strange bedfellows.  For example, Nation of Change, which I think of as reliably Progressive, today came out against the working class Canadian Truckers, accusing them of being "The ‘Freedom’ convoy:  Canada’s far right revolt".  So much for solidarity.

Have you seen the pictures of Canadian Truckers picking up trash?  Reminds me of the Tea Party.  It only brings to mind the AntiFa and Black Lives Matter demonstrations [riots] of 2020 by way of contrast.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

UPDATE:  Typos corrected.
