I don't actually know any of this stuff, since I made it a point over a decade ago to never follow news. Life is too short to waste on this stuff if you have no intention to use the knowledge to take any kind of action anyway.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s censored or not. Absolutely nothing will result from it.

It's not a bad idea. I've gone cold turkey from politics and news for months at a time when I feel like it's taking up too much time.

But I do enjoy trying to understand what's happening, why it's happening, and what happens next. Since I enjoy it, I don't consider it a complete waste of time.

As for taking action, I think it's important that I do take action, but it's not clear what actions can make a real difference. I think understanding what is going on can help with figuring out which actions are effective and coming up with new ideas.

With any kind of demonstration, I think the main target audience is the public. It can make a difference when people see a large group protesting against the mandates since people are social and being part of a large movement is psychologically appealing. It helps people who are still holding out against mandates to not be demoralized. It can influence the people in the middle who are just complying without really being on board. And it's a networking opportunity for people who want to resist in other ways.

If you figured out an action and you feel like sharing, let us know.

I've heard about the Freedom Convoy and that it has reportedly spread to other countries, but I've only seen some headlines from Paris and Israel. Brussels is some serious news to me.
