Is it too late to hope restore passenger rail will somehow cockblock the Tamaki brigade?

I don't think they're brave or stupid enough to get in the way of that mob.

Do we know what the protests are protesting?

[–] happy_piwakawaka 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's the "The Freedoms & Rights Coalition’s (TFRC) ‘Revolution Convoy 2023’", and the "Pōneke Anti-Fascist Coalition" counter protest. I haven't linked to anything about them as I felt that's probably more of a discussion for the politics sublemmy.

Ah thanks, I had assumed something worthwhile, I forgot about these kinds of protests.

Just out of curiosity I had a look at their site. Ten minutes of my life wasted I'm not getting back. Essentially against everything in Agenda 2030 and the government is corrupt bla bla.

Just ignore, work from home if you can, and move on. Absolutely not worth your time.

@Dave @happy_piwakawaka trying to ensure we all remember what epic fuckwits those people are.
