This just gets me...

In the back seat was Jenna Wozney, a 24-year-old actress from Vancouver who’d flown to Ottawa on her own a few days earlier. She said some of her family and friends considered the protests “hateful,” but she’d been determined to see them for herself. Wozney deeply distrusted the vaccines, though she’d given in and gotten the shots in order to be able to work: “I’m so poor, I didn’t have any money, I had to get it,” she said, adding an expletive.

The demonstrations felt, to her, transformative. She saw them, somehow, as the next step after Black Lives Matter and Canada’s Every Child Matters movement, which is devoted to Indigenous survivors of abusive residential schools. “I feel like this is the final thing,” she said.
“This is an awakening,” added Wall.
The day before, Wozney had broken up with her live-in boyfriend, who didn’t support her traveling to Ottawa, and canceled her ticket home. She wasn’t sure where she was sleeping that night but said several people had offered her a place to stay. At one point, speaking about the harms that she believes, falsely, are coming to children as a result of the coronavirus vaccine, she exclaimed, “I’ll die here!”

I try to avoid to throw around the word "privilege" as an insult, but I'm struggling to find any other word to describe the outlook of a 24 yr old white woman who feels like prostesting decades of racially motivated police violence and 1000's of dead native children were the warm ups for this "awakening" because she was asked to get a safe & effective vaccine and wear a mask. How fucking delusional to the historic and modern plight of non whites do you have to be for you to have been mildly to moderately inconvenienced for 2 years and feel like that is the ideological bedfellow to those other protests, and being a natural evolution of them?
