This self-righteous stooge is a moron. Smart people don't wait until they are fully under massive control of central-planning authoritarians to protest something. That just is not a logical take... and if a building is burning, yes - that is a greater immediate emergency than, say termite infestation. But the answer is not what this genius says it is.
I have great sympathy for the people of Ukraine. Their plight, however, does not render that of others invalid or worthy of ridicule. Good old Twitter...home of the unreasoned, off-the-cuff hawt taek.

Couldn't agree with you more. To take the time to undermine freedom at home at a time when freedom abroad is at risk is completely unnecessary and counter productive.This self-righteous stooge is a moron.

Awesome comments.
Sure it does. If these people have a beef maybe they ought to focus more closely on whom they elect to office rather than sit around lamenting their issues by blocking roadways and such.This self-righteous stooge is a moron.

Either Ukraine is fighting for the rights the truckers in Canada have or they are not. Which is it?

I hit up your guy's twitter account. Your cpn'crunchcody guy is the thug leftist cop candidate they're seeking to refund the force with.
Neither. Ukraine is fighting for it's survival from unwanted tyranny and subjugation
Oh..he's not my guy...do t know him from Adam...

Well, you're saying Ukraine is just another Belarus fighting to keep RasPutin out.

Nope - and that wasn’t the Twitter blowhard’s point either. He offered ridicule of cause relative to a people elsewhere being invaded. We don’t do global triage of protesting like that. It isn’t a zero-sum proposition. Frankly, that is essentially a childish conclusion that he draws, and one that simply does not follow logic.
Whether or not you or I share in valuation of cause - and whether or not we share in appreciation of tactic used… an invasion abroad has no bearing on how one thinks through and assesses such things.
Clarity is always superior to dilution.

You know I keep saying it. But I am done. This place has no intellectually honest discourse to offer (the dishonest stuff isn't even useful in some way) and I've time and again succumbed to my anger stemming from that. I really need to quit. I take solace in knowing I wasn't alone. Take care.
Sure it was. It's actually spot on...though there is the matter of protestors exaggerating what they protest. But perhaps for another time...

Go easy - and don’t let folks on the internet get to you. It isn’t worth it.

No it clearly was not. The existence or non-existence of Russian invasion of Ukraine offers precisely zero assessment of Canadian truckers and their protest. There is no worldwide scale of bad things in which worse things in one place negate unrelated things elsewhere.
Stay away from the forum lefties, Phil. Their illogic seems to be contagious.

No. I think the analogy is oppression and or authoritarian overreach. No?
In this context...yes....there is a comparison...the type of authoritarianism in Russia is real and concrete. Here..not so much. In fact.not even close

I'm not understanding the logic here. So, because the Ukraine is being invaded by a dictator, that means that people protesting for their civil rights somewhere else in the world need to sit down and shut up?
That makes 0 sense.

Irrelevant.
1) That one example is worse than another doesn’t confer acceptability on the lesser.
2) One doesn’t wait on more minor issues to become major ones before acting.
3) Blending unrelated matters is plainly an attempt to discredit WITHOUT consideration of grievance by simply arguing one thing is worse. It is worse if a man beats his wife than neglects her. She should have recourse in either scenario.
Always, ALWAYS eliminate distractions and dilutions in consideration of an issue. To solve an equation, you do not ADD VARIABLES…you reduce and eliminate them. Clarity. Precision. Surgical treatment of issue at hand. All that screeching emoting Twitter crap is the province of the unschooled, undisciplined savages. No chaos here.

Ok...let's distill the present situation.....um..that of Russian insanity down to it's core.... When should we have stopped waiting?

Correct. All it does is provide noise. Cover fire. Draw attention away, dilute, distract, discredit.
