CONVOY: A Shitty Movie About a Lost People

For some reason I decided to watch Convoy which is a 1976(?) movie about truckers. It's a low-rent mouth breathing stupid movie, but it was actually interesting in some respects.

It's about a group of irate truckers who are sick of the Federal government and state and local authorities. They actually fight back--but ultimately lose. The 70's genre of fighting the Man pervaded my childhood, but ultimately, the US has become like Europe--a testosterone free zone that's managed by oligarch's corporations and their whores in the government.

The truckers back then were sick of the "damn double nickel" (55 mph speed limit) that was a side effect of the "energy crisis" and oil embargo, plus the independent truckers portrayed in the movie disliked the unions.

The  people of that movie are all but gone. They've been sold out and screwed over a dozen times by politicians in both parties and barely peeped back. I'm hoping 1776 America, actual America makes a comeback, but that hope fades a little bit every day. It seems like the options for freedom loving people are to go camping forever, like Dick Proenneke or to become an off-grid Amish-like person.
