Freedumb: Krugman Condemns Canadian Truckers While Downplaying BLM Violence
NewsBusters ^ | 2/15/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

New York Times economist Paul Krugman spewed bile at the so-called “vandalism” by Canadian truckers protesting the country’s draconian COVID-19 policies. He did this while dismissing the 2020 Marxist Black Lives Matter riots across the U.S. that reportedly caused at least around $2 billion in damages.

Krugman flailed that the Canadian truckers were engaged in “economic vandalism and intimidation,” and compared the movement to “a slow-motion Jan. 6, a disruption caused by a relatively small number of activists, many of them right-wing extremists.”

His hyperbole-laced rant of an op-ed, headlined “When ‘Freedom’ Means the Right to Destroy,” buried the extent of the damages caused by BLM riots scattered across different states.

“[T]he [BLM and Antifa] demonstrations were remarkably nonviolent; vandalism happened in a few cases, but it was relatively rare, and the damage was small considering the huge size of the protests,” Krugman bleated.

So why do so many publications on our side dutifully report every fart or burp from the most far left know nothings and cretins?

Krugman is an extremely biased journalist without any desire to quote the truth.

The left organized and planned the 2020 riots. They gave them moral and material support as the rioters burned buildings with people in them, occupied city centers, blocked the roads, destroyed buildings, looted businesses, assaulted innocent people, raped and killed.

They refused Trump’s help. They did not prosecute the rioters, even when there was clear, explicit proof of their guilt. No rioters had their licenses invalidated. Their bank accounts were not confiscated. In short, the riots were fully the work of the democrat party.

The same leftists are outraged over the truckers blocking roads. They have gone ballistic and shown the extent of their anger. They absolutely hate the people who are not bowing down in obedience. The left has chosen to apply the full force of their power to eliminating the truckers.

To the left, standing up for your rights is illegal and must be put down. Do not ever believe a leftist when he talks about rights, liberty, freedom.

Because these people are still considered legitimate authorities on major media. Krugman was just on Bloomberg TV the other day claiming the 40-year high inflation was “not a crisis.” Their stupiditiy needs to be showcased.

It really is time to dissolve the union and I am including Canada in this. Give the socialists the land they want, then get the the fuck out of our lives and stay out.

I will not be ruled by Biden, the faggot Justine and the rest of these libtards.

The old saying was America, love it or leave it. It is time to leave....by kicking out the socialists.

Parked on the street is vandalism.
Burning down a city is protesting.
Krugman is nuts!
