Last night I detailed one of the main #misinformation narratives surrounding #TruckerConvoy2022 of "antifa" infiltrating the demonstration to discredit it via violence. There's been a few concerning updates 🧵

So a few people have been taking this alleged threat very seriously and have been calling on convoy supporters to perform "citizens arrest" on those they suspect of being "antifa"
#cdnpoli #onpoli #OttawaConvoy #antivaxxers
Some convoy supporters even advocated on bringing zip ties in order to carry out citizens arrest on suspected "antifa" members

One person has also suggested the convoy start up roving "anti-provocateur" patrols across Ottawa

What makes this more concerning is that the bar is VERY low to be labeled as "antifa" by convoy supporters. Wearing all black, flipping them off or shitposting on a Facebook group can get you labeled as "antifa"

Case in point, this image of an individual in all black has been floating around claiming to be one of the paid "antifa" agents.
Turns out this individual is actually a supporter of the Convoy who happened to wear all black

A person who claimed to be the individual in the photo tried to set the record and was not too keen on suddenly being labeled as "antifa"
Now this would be absolutely hilarious if it wasn't for the fact this person seemed to also take the calls of "antifa" infiltration seriously and was claimed to be "hunting" them
