See, this is 5D chess at its finest: If politicians are incompetent and can't enforce laws properly, allowing bribes and ways around it, then citizens have no reasons for hardcore legitimate protests.

That way politicians can cook up statistics claiming they are doing a good job of enforcing compliance to keep stealing public funds and never risk serious unrest. And if they can't enforce compliance, they can ask for more public funds to enforce compliance better by building useless digital scanners or some crap.

At the same time the harsh laws are still in place and they can and will be used at any time as an excuse to arrest those who present a legit threat to the ruling class.

Take notes from the grandmasters, Mr.Trudeau!

So basically, all the lowly citizens of the world are uniting while our psycho leaders try to set us to war against each other to kill and get killed for their causes, while they sit on their adrenochrome soaked thrones. Sounds about right

Truckers are leading protests worldwide, from the Netherlands to New Zealand. The people know the difference between graft and hard-earned cash. Politicians do not and that is why they are taking the heat. Billionaires still get a pass in our culture, in which we are schooled that capitalism’s rewards are crude but just. That may change.

I love the truckers, they are truly great. They are the army of the people. I'm not against capitalism though, when it's not corrupted. Unfortunately, whatever system will end up a shit show because the people will always become lazy and stop holding psychos to account when their needs are met. Then we go down the age old raod of bread and circuses all over again in the endless hamster wheel of civilisational collapse and rebuild.

OMG!!! This is clearly the evidences that Canadian spies are behind anti-Putin cattle-tag vax mandate!

Oh! Wait, is this also "evidences" that Russians have been behind the Canadian FREEDOM CONVOY?

- Uhm,! But but these. Russians are against... Russian (Putin) government's Covid craps!

Well, Who cares! As long as they are Russians that will do!

"Firstly, the repressive pressure in Russia is much more serious than in Canada." -- this makes protests very dicey in Russia. They are not shy about bashing heads and making mass arrests.

So it's just like France? Except that OMON has never used tear gas or water cannons (at least not that I know of)

Russians in general are not shy about bashing heads, fist fights do even happen at cemeteries... I'm very curious to see how they would react to mass protests, because unlike the Navalny crowd the anti-chicken code protesters would have the support of the majority.
