I really want to know what the interest is in analyzing this data. It's been called a lot of things, but this freedom convoy really just represented the working class's growing frustration with the globalist, elitist agenda being currently pushed by world governments. People of many different nationalities and races donated. People wanted their voices heard. The fact that it was small donations from mostly average everyday people shouldn't be surprising in the slightest, at least to those in touch with reality.
That’s exactly the interest in analyzing the data though, isn’t it? If you’re not looking to spin but you are interested in knowing who is spinning it and how they are spinning it, then we should spend at least some effort analyzing to see whose claims might be true and whose are easily falsified.
I actually think this data set shows that at least one source of funding & support is not that diverse. There are people who identify as right-wing explicitly supporting a right-wing agenda, and there are people who claim not to be right-wing but express sympathy for platforms & people they view as being unfairly suppressed in the Marketplace Of Ideas, but almost nobody in between or outside of these categories. That is, there aren’t a whole lot of hard-right people who donated to this (or from what I can tell any other cause) because they value dialogue, or left-wing people who donated because they believe the thrust of this protest is to promote their own left-wing ideas.
I believe Australians were the 3rd contributors @ 4%
