Workers are uniting and protesting peacefully, meanwhile you’re Team government and using powerful corporations to enforce compliance.
Lol. This is what Marxism looks like in 2022, it’s hilarious 😂

An Ottawa homeless shelter says protesters from the "Freedom Convoy" harassed staff and volunteers Saturday, demanding food from their soup kitchen, and one shelter client was allegedly assaulted.
The convoy, billed as a protest against COVID-19 mandates, brought thousands of people to downtown Ottawa. While the bulk of the crowd remained on Parliament Hill and was largely peaceful, the Shepherds of Good Hope said on social media that there was an incident at its shelter.
"Earlier today, our staff and volunteers experienced harassment from convoy protestors seeking meals from our soup kitchen," the Shepherds said on Twitter. "The individuals were given meals to diffuse the conflict. Management was then informed of the issue and no further meals were given to protesters. Our soup kitchen is committed to providing meals to people experiencing and at risk of homelessness in Ottawa. This weekend’s events have caused significant strain to our operations at an already difficult time."

President and CEO of the Shepherds of Good Hope Deirdre Freiheit told Newstalk 580 CFRA there were several issues on Saturday.
"Staff and volunteers were verbally harassed by people who came to the kitchen looking for meals. We also had a situation where the trucks were blocking our drop-off in front the shelter, which is where police and paramedics come to bring people to us for care," she said. "That was blocked and that could have cost somebody a life."
Freiheit said she didn't have an exact figure of how many people came demanding meals, but said it was not a large number of people.
"There were people who came into the kitchen demanding meals, there were people who came to the shelter, trying to get into the shelter asking for meals," she said.
Freiheit also said one of the shelter's clients was assaulted.
"One of the people who used services in the shelter was assaulted," she said. "My understanding is that our security guard was able to diffuse the situation. Unfortunately, that person was subjected to racial slurs from the people who were assaulting the person who is using our services, but they were able to bring that person back to the shelter."
Pretty sure calling someone a nigger and assaulting them isn't peaceful.
Your peaceful convoy attacked a food kitchen for the homeless, whom your group of people traditionally detest, harassed staff, blocked access to food deliveries with FREEDUM CONVOY, called people racial slurs, and physically attacked a homeless guy that security had to protect.
You are a dishonest poster. I'm not even a Marxist, I'm just educated and not afraid to understand things foreign to me. I've read Atlas Shrugged too, and the Bible, and Lord of the Rings was way more useful to me than either Marx or Rand or King James you judgy little shit.
If you were against BLM protests and support this you're talking about of both sides of your mouth.
You both are within your rights in my eyes, but don't be surprised when you face the imperial boomerang.

It's called a ghetto.
Won't someone please help these poor underprivileged rapers and murderers?
Its called rural America actually. Most of the people there are hopelessly sheltered to that fact through. And they're good people in shitty circumstances. You guys have less empathy than a coffee table. I wish your parents picked you all up more as babies.
