minus-squareKecessa@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down4·edit-28 months agoYeah and the freedom convoy in Canada was 2 millions if you were to listen to the morons that were there. Truth is it’s pretty much impossible to have a precise number past a certain point and the people inside are probably the worst people to ask. 1 million would be 1.5% of the country’s population or 11% of London’s population, I’m sorry but I doubt that.
