As I predicted, these people would very easily be crumbled. Machiavelli, in Discourses on Livy, talks about how people are strong in a crowd, but alone they fold.

The only way you can really oppose the system is by having an actual organisation with educated members that are dedicated to a cause. These protests will always fail, and anyone talking about how dissidents need to be 'decentralised' and 'leaderless' are proven wrong time and time again by these events.

Machiavelli, in Discourses on Livy, talks about how people are strong in a crowd, but alone they fold.

Even crowds don't count for all that much. In Junger's text 'On Pain', there is this anecdote from the time of the Kapp Putsch, or some sort of putsch at any rate, in which a crowd of five thousand is instantly scattered by a single warning shot.

If a bunch of truckers could do this much damage then imagine what 1000 genuine and loyal people willing to lay down their lives would be able to accomplish.

Speaking of, are there any serious nationalist orgs in Canada?

In the UK Patriotic Alternative show up to every protest to hand out leaflets, doing something like that to truckers specifically would have been good. Even if it's just 5-10 guys out of the hundreds that join the struggle.

Well I imagine the more events like this there are the more of a catalyst it is to form more earnest organizations. If you look at any historical nationalist insurgencies they always started with failed protests and martyrs.

Not sure of the impact of any of these orgs but found these ones on a cursory search
