I agree. If you block freeways you deserve to get run over. It was true when BLM did it, and it is true now that a dumbfuck ethiopian tribe does it. Not sure why this sub would take the contrary position unless it's just "haha get fucked Seattle".

I know all about the Tigrays. They ran Ethiopia for like 30 years because they're the most militant tribe and basically bullied everyone else. Then a few years ago, the tigrays finally lost control of government through elections and refused to abide by the result, so they held their own elections and the rest of the country ganged up on them in what was expected to be a short war.

Thing is, the Tigrays ARE better fighters than the rest of the country, so despite the war going on for 2 years, the Tigrays haven't lost.

A few months ago Eritrea got in on the action and launched a joint offensive into Tigray along with the Ethiopian govt. This is pretty fucked up since Eritrea and Ethiopia are traditional enemies and Eritrea is know for being ruthless motherfuckers similar to Tigray, so the fact that the Ethiopian government would ally with a foreign country to invade "itself" just shows that the rest of ethopia doesn't even see Tigray as truly ethiopian and just wants to destroy them.

Eritrea MOBILIZED to attack Tigray, that's how bad these motherfuckers want to kill the Tigrays.

estimates put the number of Ethiopian casualties at over 90,000 in a single month, while Tigrayan casualties were also deemed incredibly high.[247] According to peace researcher Kjetil Tronvoll, it is likely that 100,000 people had been killed over the preceding few weeks, and alleged that Eritrea and Ethiopia were using human wave attacks to overwhelm Tigrayan defenses.

Think about how much all these black people hate each other to human wave each other like this. lol fucking degenerates.

You don't need to be better fighters in order to not lose in your home territory.

so the fact that the Ethiopian government would ally with a foreign country to invade "itself" just shows that the rest of ethopia doesn't even see Tigray as truly ethiopian and just wants to destroy them.

Knowing nothing of the conflict, this suggests that the Tigrays are in the right.

If you block freeways you deserve to get run over.

I don't necessarily agree.

It's an incredibly dramatic form of civil disobedience that is pretty severe, can really hurt your public perception, but if the cause is just: it might be worth it.

The Canadian Truckers actually started shutting down highways, but that was because of Canada's incredible oppression over lockdowns. What sparked the whole thing was the PM's push to have not only mandated injections for all truckers, regardless of religious/moral/medical exemption, the right to have immediate termination for anyone who opposed it, fines and penalties on top of that, and the construction of **intra-**state checkpoints and closures in Canada so that freedom of movement between provinces would be ended and met with mandated inspections of driver's internal covid passports.

I mean, Jesus Christ, that's a reason. And the truckers and their trucks are the ones being directly effected. The truckers didn't just convoy over to Ottawa, they also shut down one of the major bridges that lead to the US. That was a national security threat. You're endangering the the entire economy of Canada by slowing and restricting global trade with the US.

Now, do I agree with them in doing it? Yeah, absolutely, 100%. Trudeau violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and should have been forced to abdicate (because resign isn't the right word when he basically acts as the God-King of Canada). Should they have been run over if they were outside their trucks (as a few instances did happen), no absolutely not. Now... being that it's civil disobedience, is there any real legal recourse for them? No, and the police wouldn't have wanted to help them with recourse anyways.

There is a difference. They were blocking roads to block trade, not to inconvenience random people.
