    Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,”

    Sounds like pizzagate

    but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick

    Anti-vaxx disinformation

    and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools

    Anti-education disinformation

    and the trans agenda [and], gender dysphoria – all of these things.”

    Anti-trans moral panic fueled by disinformation

    he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”

    Anti-LGBTQ moral panic fueled by disinformation

    and the math agenda

    Ah yes the tyranny of math

    You know what really helps solve these imaginary issues? Blocking traffic in Canadian cities, inconveniencing random people, and committing acts of terrorism. Brilliant plan, fuckwits. If only they cared about real issues as much as their imaginary ones.

    Oh and then there’s this gem:

    The “Save the Children Convoy,” a spin-off of recent anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests targeting schools and drag storytime events as well as loosely inspired by the controversial film “Sound of Freedom,” is being planned for Toronto in late summer or early fall. …
    This week, reports surfaced that one of the Sound of Freedom’s original funders had been arrested on child kidnapping charges in Missouri.

    “We have met the enemy and they are us.”

      You beat me to it on that last line, but I’ll highlight some others [emphasis mine]:

      Berry is even more pointed about his concerns in the convoy’s private Facebook group where he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”

      […]

      Phillips says Sager’s comments point to the influence of “sovereign citizen ideology.”

      As soon as I saw the headline, I wondered if Romana Didulo would be mentioned. She’s a conspiracy nutbag who declared herself the Queen of Canada and started her cult of followers caravanning back and forth throughout Canada. She’s been active since 2020. There’s a fascinating look at her org at Vice. She wasn’t mentioned in the original article, however.

        Well, if Her Majesty Roman Dildo Romana Didulo I, Queen of Canada, isn’t endorsing it, must be fake gnus.

      I can “understand” what they dislike about everything here except for … math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?

        My wife just got back from a literal math conference with fellow math researchers. I asked her what the math agenda is and she said snacks & coffee at 10am because everyone was tired from being up early to make it to the conference.

        I’ll let you know if any other nefarious math-based plots are exposed.

          It is so dumb that I would not even consider this line to be good satire. Yet, here we are, they literally hate math because it leads to logic.

      The theories and basis are always the same for centuries. They only wrapped them with a new tinfoil.
