In’75 CW McCall had a hit song titled Convoy. That year, it went to number one and jump-started a CB radio craze outside the trucking industry.
According to Wikipedia, Rolling Stone lists it as one of the top 100 Country songs of all time (not sure about that, and Rolling Stone lies), but I wonder if you can post it to Facebook?
GAB just shot out an email observing that,
“Facebook has spent all week banning groups related to the peaceful Canadian Trucker Convoy as well as any groups working to organize the American Convoy. It’s interesting that Facebook would ban these groups and yet did nothing to ban the Black Lives Matter groups that organized to burn down our cities a few years ago.”
That’s a fair point. BLM and the Left were all about sharing the “love” in the summer of 2020. It was a violent, abusive one-sided relationship, with looting, arson, assault, even murder. Oh, and no masks, you know, because of the peaceful protest exemption.
Now we’ve got truckers engaged in a (truly) peaceful protest, and Facebook is all up in their grill. No groups supporting truckers or convoys or any of that. They are being tagged and bagged.
That means the algorithm people on Zuckerbergermeisterberger’s payroll are on the look out for words like trucker and convoy. The odd share of this CW McCall classic might raise the progressive hackles on their hairy backs (and that just the women).
Feel free to give that a test drive and see if you get flagged from one of Big Brother Zuck’s fact-checkers.
In the meantime, if you’d like to visit one of these pages, GAB doesn’t roll like Big Tech. They’ve suggested two. There’s one focused on Canada and one for a US Trucker Protest.
And if you want to hear it again, or never have, here’s CW McCall’s Convoy.
Warning, this is a novelty song from 1975.
