Talk:Freedom Convoy

The term "fascist"

Can we stop using the term "fascist" for the liberals? Strictly speaking the term "fascist" refers to the Fascist Party and its allies in the early 20th century. To my knowledge no group claims to be fascist today. I would agree that the liberals are similar to the fascists of old; but this is a conclusion not a fact. I propose that all instances of the term fascist in this article be replaced by "liberal" or "totalitarian," unless in reference to an accusation where the term "fascist" was actually used.

By their fruits ye shall know them.

Of course. But wouldn't it be more informative to describe the fruits? Totalitarian is a much more factual and descriptive term that is hard to deny. Fascist requires a comparative analysis that I think is justified. But I think it damages our credibility to throw out the term without making the analysis.

Is this really a false flag?

The evidence that this is a false flag appears incredibly weak and not particular to the US Freedom Convoy.

The article states in the lead that the US Freedom Convoy is a "false flag" operation. This statement implies that the US Freedom Convoy is different from the freedom convoy in Canada and other countries mentioned immediately prior. However the the only source cited in the article is a blog accusing all "freedom convoys" in various "nations" of being false flag operations. Aside from this broad accusation, I am unaware of any reason to believe that the US Freedom convoy is a false flag operation. If this is the only evidence, it is inappropriate to state as fact that the US Freedom convoy in particular is a false flag operation.

Under the United States section, the article states that there were multiple "warnings" that the us convoy is a false flag operation. Again, the source cited is a single blog accusing all "freedom convoys" in various "nations" of being false flag operations (and accusing the US Freedom Convoy of being an instance of this). It is inappropriate to suggest based on this single accusation that the US Freedom convoy in particular is a false flag operation, implying that it is different from the others. Additionally the article directly quotes without quotation marks from the copyrighted blog post it uses a as source.

I have tried to fix this issue but my edit has been reversed. If you are going to reverse my edit, please explain why.
