    Fair enough yeah, I’m very focused on what happened in Ottawa specifically but I’ve kind of shut this out of my memory as a coping mechanism.

    I think it’s time to analyze it again through a new lens. Can’t go into details though, trying to stay anonymous!

      No worries- and personally, my initial reaction had been lukewarm support (because I disliked the truckers and their cause or various causes, and I also dislike the government). But increasingly seeing the precedents being used against those I actually identified with or supported, and realizing the details of how the whole handling of the matter was carried out- with incredibly shady (and incorrect) interpretations of the law and state mandate (ie. why the invocation was ruled unjustified), the backdoors dealing with the banks to freeze assets, not of some corporations or even “petty bourgeois” as you call it (some dumbfucks, maybe, but primarily “labor buorgeoisie” if we want to call them bourgeois), but basically the nigh extrajudicial way the means of life in capitalist society was cut off of ordinary people (with questionable takes, but still- certainly nothing justified within law)- and seeing how it has been used since, deeply concerned me.
