Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,”

Sounds like pizzagate

but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick

Anti-vaxx disinformation

and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools

Anti-education disinformation

and the trans agenda [and], gender dysphoria – all of these things.”

Anti-trans moral panic fueled by disinformation

he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”

Anti-LGBTQ moral panic fueled by disinformation

and the math agenda

Ah yes the tyranny of math

You know what really helps solve these imaginary issues? Blocking traffic in Canadian cities, inconveniencing random people, and committing acts of terrorism. Brilliant plan, fuckwits. If only they cared about real issues as much as their imaginary ones.


Oh and then there's this gem:

The “Save the Children Convoy,” a spin-off of recent anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests targeting schools and drag storytime events as well as loosely inspired by the controversial film “Sound of Freedom,” is being planned for Toronto in late summer or early fall. ...
This week, reports surfaced that one of the Sound of Freedom’s original funders had been arrested on child kidnapping charges in Missouri.

They seem to hate and vilify what they don't understand.

Let us just say they hate a lot of things.

Maybe they are fans of Terrance Howard's new math?
