The ‘Save the Children Convoy’ is struggling as organizers accuse one another of being ‘undercover cops’ or planning ‘violence’ and ‘terrorism’

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."
129You 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.
16The QAnonAnonymous podcast just did an episode about this lady too.
7Well, if Her Majesty
Roman DildoRomana Didulo I, Queen of Canada, isn't endorsing it, must be fake gnus.6
I can "understand" what they dislike about everything here except for ... math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?
12Maybe they are fans of Terrance Howard's new math?
8It's those fuckin' numbers, man! I keep trying to make them do what I say, but they keep responding rationally. I want 2+2 to equal 5, but they won't fuckin' listen!
6Idk man I'm pretty sure the number 6 transitioned from number 9 and now wants to have sex with children.

11My 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.
34I use it professionally and I hate it

What's the 2SL part mean?
4The theories and basis are always the same for centuries. They only wrapped them with a new tinfoil.

66He learned they were teaching Arabic numerals and now he's afraid of al gebra.
28haha, wasn't there a video where they asked people about teaching arabic numbers in school and they got really mad. what a great way to reveal your ignorance and xenophobia in one reaction.

maybe they meant meth? or they've got a deep-seated fear of trigonometry?
17Save the children from meth! Save it all for the kill-billies who organized this protest!

It is of acute importance to stay vigilant of mathematicians; we cannot go on tangents and let their plots divide us. I'm sure they're integrating themselves into positions of power, and knowing even a fraction of their schemes could be of prime significance to factoring out their plans to subtract our freedoms.
14PI IS EQUAL TO THREE!

Could be this? https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/17/us/florida-math-textbooks-critical-race-theory
“ DeSantis said state officials “got rid” of Common Core, a standardized teaching method rolled out in 2010. The method requires children to group numbers to solve arithmetic problems, rather than the vertical “carry the one” method familiar to most adults. The approach goes beyond simple computation to emphasize deeper mathematical concepts. The department said some of the rejected textbooks incorporated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and references to critical race theory – two frameworks or philosophies that some conservative groups claim are being used to indoctrinate students. Some schools around the country have recently used SEL strategies to help students cope with stress and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning defines SEL as a teaching framework aimed at helping “young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded into the framework.”

A lot of comments are rightfully laughing at these morons for their infighting and incompetence, but we need to stay vigilant as this is a rising fascist movement. Sure right now it's not well organized and has loonies running the show, but eventually they may attract a very smart evil person into the ranks who could actually grow the movement to critical mass.
36They are already part of the "base" that Squinty McProudBoy is building.

Anyone thinking Canada doesn't have a mental health crisis, well here's the proof.
28So the message is entirely generic. I guess anyone with that message can join. Should we all just join the convoy in a bid to "save the children" from these people?
25Sometimes it is so dumb it works. The previous convoy was also a "pick your own cause" mess, and I think this helped the movement gather support because a large group of people thought it was for a bunch of good causes like worker rights. In reality it was a loon anti-vax, anti-liberal movement and the organizers wanted the government to resign and give them political positions. not kidding.

Yeah, we really need to save children from the math agenda.
20If you consider 'Math' as a stand-in for 'Science' and 'empirical evidence' their fear of it becomes a little more cogent.

Fear the Weapons of Math Instruction!
16Guaranteed these organizers, some of them, are pedos. No hyperbole.
16Pedocon theory is really pedocon law

Of course they fear 'math' as it's the basis for things like 'statistics' and 'empirical evidence' that would clearly demonstrate that all their beliefs are factually incorrect or completely without warrant.
14I have the opinion that these people are wired to be always thinking of kids, and they recognize that it’s dangerous, but they fail to see that this isn’t normal behaviour. They think everyone else is just as much capable of being a danger to kids as they are a danger to kids themselves, and it terrifies them.
14AKA projection. These types of people tend to have that in common.
13yep, people fighting inner demons tend to project their own deviations onto everyone else, and be loud about it. e.g. "I had to force myself not to be gay, hence it is a choice and everyone has those urges. ". Hence also why they think children can be so easily "corrupted".

It must be nice to be an boomer/gen X who has the money to just randomly drive across the damn country. Get a fuckin job you losers.
10"A lot of people are really starting to stand up
The circlejerk, fanboy, etc. issue... These people are megalomaniac.
9what is it with cookers and convoys, especially with shitty banners that make no sense
8Whatabout the children in Vancouver, or Winnipeg? They don’t matter?
6To be fair cointelpro is a problem with counter culture protests
-9Eh it’s probably fiery but mostly peaceful.
