Up here, most of the country is unaccustomed to protesting. Canadiansare too nice...or apathetic.
Something has shifted. I KNOW paid activism is a "thing". But it doesn't count.
We can see when we're hitting buttons, because our PM disappears for a few days. He's hiding under a bed, or getting instructions from his keepers, or something. Happens EVERY TIME something boils up.
I don't know what to think. Protesting is not my happy place but sometimes you gotta DO something
government does not listen to the people and never has. Last voting, the majority voted to stop the time change. Georgia and a few other eastern states voted (about 65 %) to keep summer hour. But the national govt decided we must stay on summer hour because the children. A friend brought up that indeed the kids are standing in the dark at 7.10 when the bus comes. So - why don't they change the school hours? If school starts half an hour later the problem is solved. Thinking of it, when I went to school 50 years ago in Belgium, we went on bicycle or by foot in the dark, and came home in the dark. I think children are too pampered today, when they grow up they will not be able to face even the dark. They only will remember being face diapered.
Too true. Spent a lot of my life on those "lines" and always felt like an imposter. The chants, the fist pumps, the happy-happy-we're doing something! phony false-ego-elation...
Now I've matured, I've put time into deep reading, and I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Glad to finally grow up and out of that "lefty-progressive" trap-vent.
At least now I can breathe without feeling like an imposter.
I can’t see my earlier comment on here. Which tells me I made a good decision not to be a paid subscriber unless it’s just a mistake because censorship is loathsome in all its forms.
Thanks, Mickey.
Everything old is new again.

Amen.

When free speech zones cane about during the Bush regime they neutered the disruptive ability of a protest.
So corral everyone is a nice safe space where no one will see or hear them.
I can’t tell you how many times I have seen or heard of a protests days or weeks after.
