A nice way to put it. And though she's not charged with sedition (to my knowledge), she's getting significant press coverage and street cred for this recent arrest, which will help her well-funded separatist movement once she's released, and other potential examples of sedition. I'm a big fan of peaceful protests, though her Maverick Party (Wexit) and the trucker occupiers are operating on a disruptive level that warrants attention. They use the same language as has been used for Trump campaigns and the Brexit campaign. They're divisive fascists.

If you were shown undeniable proof that the covid vaccines and boosters were dangerous would you change your mind?

As BLM protests turned violent did you advocate for their leadership to get arrested? When did the Trucker protest become violent in your opinion? When exactly did you determine that it was a good time to arrest the Trucker protest leadership?

If you were shown undeniable proof that the covid vaccines and boosters were dangerous would you change your mind?

Yes (as would medical professionals in various countries).

As BLM protests turned violent did you advocate for their leadership to get arrested?

Yes - for those agitators who deserved to be in jail, so that the others could peacefully protest without the agitators.

When did the Trucker protest become violent in your opinion?

I did not see evidence of violence. I saw them "operating on a disruptive level that warrants attention", because they blocked streets and a bridge, causing unnecessary significant delays for many. Canada's government did not act at first, but then deemed it illegal.

When exactly did you determine that it was a good time to arrest the Trucker protest leadership?

When they said "we will hold the line", in response to the letters from the Canadian Government letting them know they were breaking the law by blocking traffic, and then continued to 'hold the line' and thus block traffic.

For several weeks this was not criminalized, though once it was criminalized, the trickers and organizers were required to leave the area.

Thanks for the responses.

fascists

A loaded slander carelessly thrown around to the point it doesn't mean anything more than "people whom I may disagree with".

You can see in my comment history that I use the term periodiically to address disturbing trends in:

far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.source

I use the term quite deliberately.

Deliberately weaponized and inappropriately used. You need do to better than this. I expect that you will correct this divisive behavior. As usual, your discombobulated mind and beliefs make little sense to any one but you. The disappointment that you have created with this vernacular, will stop now. We are on the same page with this. I am monitoring and you will do better from now on. It doesn't matter what individual people espouse as beliefs personal for them. There is time and space for everyone regardless of what their beliefs are. You do accept this. Forcing individuals into per-supposed belief systems while disregarding their inherent individuality is the basis for "facscism". Stand down now. As they say, "we are in this together". It doesn't matter who and what you are. This is an attack on us. You, I and everyone else, Socky.

Deliberately weaponized

Unrelated to weapons

and inappropriately used.

I think it's VERY important to show connections between authoritarian developments and fascist methods - or we risk repeating the absuses of history, as already occur

You need do to better than this.

Which is why words like authoritarianism and fascism are very important in today's assessments of far right wing movements (Wexit, Brexit, Tumpism, and developments in Turkey, Philippines, China, Russia, etc, etc)

I expect that you will correct this divisive behavior.

It's certainly not divisive to identify a divisive fascist trend. It's an important step forward in dealing with extremism, to that we can find common ground (which could not include the extremists on the right or left). There is a tendency of the (divisive) extremists to call the moderates divisive, which is part of their propaganda and gaslighting.

The disappointment that you have created with this vernacular, will stop now.

I think it's VERY important to identify extremism where possible, which is a way of dealing with their divisive strategies. When authoritarians and fascists normalize their actions in a community that begins to support their actions, this is a serious trend in the wrong direction.

We are on the same page with this.

You are saying two different things in your comments - that you don't like my reference to fascism and that you are on the same page.

I am monitoring and you will do better from now on.

Does this mean that you genuinely believe that you have some control over me? Are you in this case an authoritarian at Saidit? Do you think it's important to limit the discourse and free speech to match what specifically you want to be?
