Here is an interesting comparison/contrast:
1. Participants in the Canadian "freedom convoy" movement risked life, limb, and freedom in response to what they believed to be government overreach.
2. In the US, similar protesters merely looped around the DC Beltway. Not much of a threat to anyone.
Here is another:
1. On January 6, 2021, a crowd of misinformed (?) people, none of whom were armed, committed mischief in Washington, DC. Many are now in jail and face lengthy prison sentences.
2. An unknown number of misinformed (?) people, all of whom will be armed, are traveling to Ukraine to fight against Russia in a war promoted and enabled by the US government.
Americans (chiefly white males) appear to LOVE violence, especially the lethal variety. Those who might exercise it against the US government are hunted down and harshly punished, while those willing to exercise it against US "enemies" are considered heroes.
Does any of this bother you?
