    I wasn’t saying they could all be generalized, I was only saying how it seemed and why it seemed how it seemed. There were some people that didn’t look like they were acting upon a masculine honor culture, but those who did flooded the spotlight and were the anti-authoritarian ones. Anti-authoritarianism has to be reasonable at least.

      Well, all the Sikhs that attended, they definitely represented a masculine honor culture, that’s true. Too bad the cameras aimed directly at white guys for some reason, and also avoided all the Anabaptists and treaty Natives. Media was fucking creepy. The pre rallies, I saw some of them, was in Calgary working and saw literal thousands of vehicles convoying while the radio said there was a few hundred. the QE2 is two lanes each way, it took me 20 miles to get past them while they crawled in the right lane bumper to bumper.

        I saw cameras aimed at all kinds of guys (and women). I distinguish the number of initial truckers from people who got dragged into it and that would fit the bigger number. Some of those people could be found (I can confirm) on the American side in New York and Vermont. Nevertheless, considering the actual things being protested against, it wasn’t the end of the world the protestors made it out to be.
