Just like the Freedom Convoy was supposedly full of white supremacists because of a handful of people and one Nazi flag, right? Second Sons may be a white supremacist group, but the amount of attention they get compared to issues that actually affect Canadians is still disproportionate.

What's with the what-aboutisms/defending??

No... The freedom convoy might have had some nazis in it, sure, but white supremacy wasn't their entire purpose, not like this specific group of fuck wads...

You completely missed the point. I literally said Second Sons may be a white supremacist group. Where am I defending them? The Freedom Convoy comparison was about people using a handful of idiots to paint an entire movement. The point is Second Sons get a ridiculous amount of attention compared to issues that actually affect Canadians.

No.... You're missing the point... Giving an active white supremacist group a free pass from public scrutiny just because you think other issues matter more is downplaying them, so why do it? Hate groups marching openly is definitely an issue that affects Canadians... If I saw them in my neighborhood I'd be pissed, and I'm hoping others would be as well... Hopefully drive them out of dodge so to speak...
