    “Save the children is basically a generic statement obviously,” lead convoy organizer Gordon Berry told PressProgress. “There’s a multitude of things you could be saving them from.”

    Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,” but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools and the trans agenda and the math agenda, gender dysphoria – all of these things.”

    Oh, so it’s mostly about being an anti-LGTBQ and education hate parade, with some flat earth and anti vax thrown in.

    “Trudeau’s paying LGBTQ a million dollars”

    Does he think LGTBQ is like a company or secret society or something?!

    “You got to save them from the whole system.”

    I can understand where he’s coming from here, the system clearly failed him.

      Sure, I understand that the system failed him, or at least failed someone close to him. But what he’s doing is just generally raging against the leaders and using random excuses to justify causing chaos.

      There’s no focus, no message. No way for anybody to respond in any way other than flat out rejection. How can you respond to something like this if when you try, it’s like “okay, I understand this this this, and this. But this one and these three others are unacceptable to us. But then there’s another sixteen that we can talk about. Please give us your side of the story and we can continue from there.” How do you form a conversation with that?

      Not to mention that he’s trying to gather people from the widest spectrum he can, each with a different grievance. How do you talk when you have a dozen “I won’t budge on this one thing” when each one thing is something different? Just like the previous convoy, it’s just plain civil disobedience for the sake of letting out steam, no actual attempt at making change.

        Yeah I agree with you.

        There’s no actual real concern, it’s just a bunch of glued together conspiracies and dog whistles.

        The whole thing is gross.

    So a bunch of closet pedophiles are organizing another convoy to “save the children” from “groomers” and “pedophiles” which they are projecting on drag queens?

    That’s rich.

    The convoy’s private Facebook group, which coun nearly 300 members, indicates that it is focused on issues like pedophilia, child trafficking, grooming and indoctrination.

    Funny, they NEVER protest against churches. Why is that?

    These people are literally a herd of cats in a room with a laser pointer pointed at a disco globe.

    My mother is a conspiracy theory sucker. Being isolated during the pandemic with her idiot boyfriend literally spun her around from being a compassionate intelligent woman who ran her own successful business for over a decade to literally being afraid of everything and everyone.

    “Save the Children” has been considered the cry of people that can’t put forth a reasonable argument for the thing they want for decades. Right up there with the people that like exclaiming “muh rights” and then either complain about something that’s never been a right, or immediately following up by trying to remove other people’s rights. I feel like using “save the children”(or similar variations) is a pretty good indication that I’m not going to agree with most of what follows.

    So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.

    “Get up off your god damned couch and show some passion for this country and some passion for the children that don’t have a voice, they get kidnapped, thrown in a railcar,” McDavid told viewers of one recent TikTok video, adding that children are being “tortured, hunted down like animals by – not the elites – by the degenerates on horseback.”

    Oh man, I thought we outlawed organized small children hunts. Those bourgeoise snobs in their red coats and riding britches.

    Also, where would one get a railcar of children. Is that what the “Dark Web” is for?

      As a unit of measurement for harvested children, a railcar is called a railcar for historical reasons. The other unit of measurement, of course, is grade. For grade “A” children – that is, your children of indebted or disgraced public figures – you’re talking about 100 kids/railcar on most dark web markets.

      You can get more if you settle for lower grades, say if you’re using them for research or food as opposed to labour or ritual.

        They get thrown in railcars but the worst thing about the kidnapping is the Dementors. They fly all over the place and they were scary and then they’d come down and they’d suck the soul out of your body and it hurt!

    My fucking father in law is gonna eat this shit up. We’re going out to his family gathering next weekend and my son has a really cute rainbow and pink outfit he’s been dying to show off. For context, this extended family has an ex-in law who came out as trans and whom they violently hate, so my kiddo won’t be exposed to them too much as he grow up. Alas, the old G-pa in law doesn’t have much longer so we gotta go hang out with peeps.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they also started going off about the “round earth agenda” or something like that. These dudes are absolutely braindead.
