This reporting contributes to the narrative of a regular, sane family guy pushed to the brink by COVID lockdowns and govt overreach. It plays into the ‘freedom movement’ theories about an authoritarian state turning on regular citizens, a dog whistle aired by Moira Deeming in parliament. 4/6
Even Dezi’s own family claim he detached himself from reality decades ago. Lockdowns might have been an accelerant, with associated conspiracy theories giving him somewhere to belong and act out his controlling, paranoid world view, but he wasn’t just your regular family guy before that. 5/6
In FB groups the comments sympathetic to Dezi Freeman are chilling. All paint him as a good Christian family man pushed to the brink by an authoritarian state and police harassment. The ACA story is providing them the foil. ACA should release a statement admitting their story is bullshit. FIN. 6/6
A friend has been lurking on some sov cit FB groups and they are almost universally saying Dezi is a decent guy and the whole thing was a set up by the government
'False flag' in their paranoia
People who use Facebook are universally lacking in critical thinking abilities.
Gosh. As though we all didn't already know Moira Deeming is scum.
