Geiger-Bardswich: 'But did he hit you?' The parallels between the ‘Freedom Convoy’ and domestic violence
Ottawa Citizen ^ | February 04, 2022 | Kaitlin Geiger-Bardswich

Posted on 02/04/2022 4:54:12 AM PST by Kriggerel

A refrain we’re seeing from convoy participants and supporters is that this protest is 'non-violent.' That song and dance is all too familiar to the many women across the country who have experienced domestic abuse.

I... I just can't even take this so-called "journalist" seriously. The coverage has become so ridiculous that it's beyond even the Babylon Bee, or The Onion at its peak...

They make it sound like every truck is painted grew with iron crosses and swastikas.

Typical…they ridicule the people because the message is too strong. Right out of the Alinsky book.

Stole this from elsewhere, but:

OPTIMIST: The glass is half-full.
PESSIMIST: The glass is half-empty.
RADICAL FEMINIST: The glass is raping me!

The leftists are constantly gaslighting and then using describing their opponents as gaslighting. Here they are saying that honking your horn is violence, and if you say its not you are gaslighting. The article says verbal abuse is equal to, comparable to, the same as a smack in the face. Incredible. Verbal abuse is someone reminding you to take out the garbage I guess.

This emotionally challenged person does not understand domestic abuse at all.

She is, in fact, probably a manipulator and an instigator of the very abuse she talks about at the very least.

The real abusers are the ones who tell you what hoops you have to jump through to win not only their favor but the rewards of them granting you rights and privileges THAT ALREADY BELONG TO YOU.

It is the abuser who gradually takes those rights away.

Now, Ms. “journalist,” it sure ain’t the truckers who fit that description...

A better analogy would be when the husband has been beating his wife for two years. Now when she slaps back once, he cries to the police that she’s abusing him. The governments of the world have been beating the people for two years and they better pray that we merely slap back rather than start shooting when we finally snap.

The hypocrisy is astounding!
Sounds like she’s describing the BLM protests more than anything.

If these Truckers are so abusive, why is the public cheering them on and supporting them morally and financially?

The author should look on the bright side-its not a general strike, yet.

Notice the derision and the complaints are coming from the sectors of society (politicians, media, Leftists,etc) that don't actually produce/distribute/add value to anything?

It is actually quite simple, these “journalists” are the useful idiots you have heard Stalin and Lenin speak of for how many years?

When one accuses the other of gaslighting in the same breath as one gaslights the other is called projectionism, a very successful battle tactic of the left.

Mizz Geiger-Bardswich manages to take the real issue of domestic violence and cheapen it, by broadening the definition of it to include much more than violence.

When one redefines and stretches the meaning of words, one cheapens and discredits one’s own message.

Not to mention the leftist tropes against right-wingers, etc. in this article.

I’m not listening anymore Mizz Geiger-Bardswich.

Reminds me of how the left uses ‘racism’ and ‘fascism’ among many terms to describe anything they don’t like.
