Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains. That's from Karl Marx, of course. He wrote that famous phrase in 1848. The weird thing is, it's pretty likely that Marx himself never met an actual worker.
Wait a second. He didn't spend a decade in a cotton mill, witnessing the oppression firsthand. No. Karl Marx never spent a moment in a factory. He was a rich kid who became a journalist. Of course he was. But for more than 150 years, Karl Marx inspired generations of other rich kids who also became journalists to repeat his line or variations of it.
Over time, workers became working men or working class and then with feminism, working people or working families, but the idea itself never changed. Ordinary people, wage earners, are getting shafted, so they've got to unite. They've got to come together for protection and for dignity. This was the idea, of course, behind the organized labor movement, and every Democratic president from Andrew Jackson until now has made the very same point over and over again. "The noble people of Scranton..." You hear it even today. So, Democrats have repeated that line often enough. You would think they really mean it.
Do they really mean it? Let's take the test. Here's how you know. Watch what happens when actual workers, working people from working families who constitute the working class, actually come together as a group to protest how things are going.
What happens then? Does the intellectual class greet these workers as heroes? Throw a parade? Listen intently to their stories? Does NPR do a sympathetic feature on them? Or, do self-described progressives recoil in revulsion and horror at the grubbiness of the people who as we used to say,

That too.
I live south of Houston but close enough to have to work there a couple of times a week. Compared to where I live, the number of people still wearing masks there is astounding. I see fewer sheep in the country.
All these people out in the streets surely won’t be voting for the politicians they are protesting. Let’s see if the Canadians boot Trudeau out of office when they get the chance.
Just like 1/6/21. The violence was false flag.
Bent on is a nautical term meaning tied to.

I didn’t know that. The whole time we spent denigrating “the bent one” here on FR we coulda used that expression.
The truckers would notice them immediately, and threats of violence would escalate proportionally.
The Antifa thugs won't stand a chance against a horde of truckers, but they won't have to. They just have to start the violence and then flee, letting the LAAP-dog media take it from there.

The trick would be to have bouncers with cameras and upload it to the web. Then everyone can see what is really going on.
Maybe they need to get some people to fly drones over the area to get arial footage, too.

“They’re organizing as we speak, on facebook again. LOL. Americans are dumb.”
Maybe the Feds are organizing something on FB again...
Yes
If every independent trucker called in sick for one day it would be a huge problem for every city in this country. If all trucks stopped moving for one week, there would be food riots.
