The one Thunder Bay is on. The one that has nice beaches. The one in the south. The one Toronto is on.

Oh, yes, and the American one.

Japanese PM is an ultra right Millei-style “libertarian”. I don’t believe her any more than any other of the Trumpists around the world.

Look up how northern states gave the middle finger to slave enforcement by the federal government in the past. Look up how New Hampshire gave the middle finger to George fucking Washington to protect Ona Judge from him. If the law is unjust, fuck the law. Come on yanks, learn from your own goddamn resistance history.

White centibillionaires with a background in apartheid of course.

Unless you’re an ecofascist neonazi, in which case the same phrase gets interpreted as “use of resources by the wrong kind of people”.

Oh you mean eugenics and reproductive control. Yea, also genocidal.

Scientists argue that the indiscriminate use of Earth’s resources by humans has led to environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change.

Motherfuckers will find it easier to imagine genociding half of humanity than ending capitalism.

Someone paid attention to the way Ukraine counters Russia.

They care about enforcing censorship and keeping a lid on “politics” disrupting “social harmony”. Once again Palestine is an issue that unearths the deeper fractures and contradictions in a society.

That’s a circular definition: the Labour government passed laws that defined Palestine Action as terrorists so therefore they are terrorist because the courts said they fit the description of the laws.

The other thing that you seem to have forfeited is a sense of proportionality. So, if you want to go around declaring yourself …a “terrorist sympathizer”, don’t let me stop you. I’ll keep on insisting that Palestine Action should have never been proscribed in the first place. All of the craziness follows from that first moment of Labour stupidity and overreach.

What’s your point with this whataboutery ?

Thank you for the technical clarification.

The word “terrorist” is not merely a technical designator. It is highly emotionally charged and political. It is a word that evokes hundreds of victims in blind attacks on trains or on buildings and aeroplanes. It evokes fanaticism and destructiveness, frothing hatred and irrational bloodlust. “We do not negotiate with terrorists.” Terrorists are the villains in every movie ever. In the wider society, a “terrorist connection” is a connection to all that.

So splitting the legal hairs here is at best irrelevant. We live in a society not a courtroom. The government has slapped the Big Scary Word on a thing it shouldn’t have.

And even if this government gets all the benefits of the doubt (personally I really don’t think they should) because they are trying their best to balance between impossible political attractors (personally I think they are just enablers of a genocidal apartheid regime for political expediency), the next one or the one after the next one will not hesitate to use the Big Scary Word not as a technical designator but as a political sledgehammer.

Labour has paved the way for Reform to go full fascist.
