#BlackLivesMatteryeg

First event of the day. Probably close to one thousand people so far. Image
Oh, we got an 'all lives matter' sign.
Image
Crowd keeps growing. Image
Image
In solidarity with the US and, of course, in the struggle against the systemic oppression Canada is built on.

@MNUnitedAF @AntiFashGordon @ARCCollective @VestsCanada @antihateca
People are still filing in. ImageImageImageImage
It was just announced that there are over 10,000 people here.
I have no idea how many people are here. I can't take a photo that could even begin to capture any of it.
Event is now wrapping up. Still hundreds of people.

There was a "freedom" rally in Edmonton yesterday. May have been part of the Worldwide Rally for Freedom, but it's hard to say. (Follow @nolifeneet for more WWR info.)

The main question people seem to have have now that restrictions are mostly gone, what is the point? (1/11)
To find an answer, look at the signs people carry. It's important to remember that almost any grievance is welcome in far-right protest. It's not necessarily coherent and you'll only give yourself a headache if you expect it to be. (2/11)
Donald here, who has been around since at least the yellow vest protests, is upset about universal basic income. (3/11)

Apparently I started this account 3 years ago, sometime between scoping out the yellow vests and what was a planned 3-day white supremacist rally scheduled for late March 2019. (1/12)
There was effective organizing against that rally and 2 of 3 events were shutdown or interrupted over the course of two days.

Eventually our numbers dwindled and there were multiple assaults after another attempt to counter. (2/12)
Here are some lessons learned in no particular order.

1. It's hard to counter people who have come to your city to vacation and protest. They have lots of spare time, while people who would counter them still have families, jobs, etc. (3/12)

I was just scoping out some photos from the hospital protest in Edmonton on September 1st. Here are some comments on what I saw.

First, not surprised. These rallies definitely seemed to be PPC recruitment opportunities. (1/6)
A sign that says "Nuremburg 2.0" because we are incapable of distinguishing atrocity from inconvenience. Wild to think that it was anti-fascists were accused of calling everyone nazis. (2/6)
Vaccine passports = communism and Chinada.

Not sure who to chalk this up to, but I guess Cold War anti-communist propaganda is the gift that keeps on giving.

The actual concern is authoritarianism, which can come in a number of forms. (3/6)

Three updates.

First, Pat King finally gets mentioned and dismissed. There is beef between the Angry Albertan and Pat because AA at least accepts that COVID-19 exists. (1/4)
Next, we have memes from QAnon groups being shared. This argument was used as a gotcha last year, but it misses the point that no method is 100% effective.

Also more people have not died from the vaccine than the virus. (2/4)
Finally, here we have claims that the vaccine is poison. Based on what I've seen, people who claim it's about bodily autonomy are seconds away from talking about how the vaccine is actually poison. (3/4)

KJJ Show (08/31/21) - Chris Sky and Pat King were guests tonight, so I had to subject myself to the show.

A disagreement over the police. Chris says they need to support the cops because the pig union invited him to speak at a rally. (1/10)
Chris believes the election is distracting people from fighting against vaccine passports. Also discusses being called "controlled opposition," but he seems to think being out on bail 6 times negates this claim. (2/10)
Ed appears and claims that the election is rigged. There is some confusion here. I am pretty sure Ed is saying that the election is rigged for Trudeau to win. Sky says it's rigged because it ultimately doesn't matter who wins, so... write Chris Sky on the ballot? (3/10)

Looks like we have a combination of the Angry Albertan and AHS employees working together on Telegram, so that's cool.

Also in response to the Angry Albertan... well, I never.
