derpowitz strikes again.....

you have to understand that the left is looking for any excuse right now, and has been for some time, to find a way to mobilize. i may tentatively agree that speech is the wrong thing to mobilize around [although i'd argue that the harm principle can be legitimately applied to speech, even as i'm arguing that the criteria should be pretty extreme], but the narrative that this is actually about speech is going to be broken apart by anybody really looking into it. you'll even find that it's not truly about racism, if you take that extra step. and even that a lot of the people agitating aren't even students.

a few years ago, it was about financial regulation. then it swung to being about education costs. in canada, we had an indigenous rights movements. now, there's the tautology that black lives matter. the shifting target is indicative of the real motives: what this is really about is getting people out on the street yelling. the target is constantly shifting in attempts to find an issue that can generate a movement.

there is validity in questioning whether the ends justify the means, here. but, let's not get confused.

how do white leftist activists get more visible minorities to rallies?

that's the question at the root of it. and, it's an important question. because leftist activists are well aware that visible minorities tend to react poorly to a bunch of white people marching around with signs. whatever your reaction is to this truth, you have to agree that it's really very rational.

so, step one is to get people out. but, it's step two (radicalization) that is the real point. once you get a crowd together, you can start talking about distributive justice.

now, again: i agree that this is dangerous. is this a crowd you want to assemble? can you radicalize it appropriately? or are you going to produce blow back?

but, let's understand what is happening first. please.

this wouldn't make sense everywhere, but bc is at the point where this is the next logical step. they already have a sufficient supply of clean electricity generation (mostly hydro). they have rebate programs on electric vehicles, which are entirely legal. and, they have a carbon tax. there's a lot of places on this continent where the ability to transition is not feasible, but b.c. has jumped through those hoops and can now focus on doubling down on and shaming people into making the right choices. if you're in bc, you have no valid excuse to keep hanging on to twentieth century technology. so, i would support this because it's rational because the infrastructure is in place.

that said, i suspect some more work could be done on helping people recycle their old cars. your fossil fuel car no doubt has a large amount of valuable parts that could be converted into current-generation vehicles. i know that there are services that exist that will buy cars to salvage parts, but making this a more mainstream option - whether it's through direct co-ordination or just helping to do it through advertising - could help to ease costs in switching to modern vehicles.

can those suicide vests be detonated via remote control?

i'm pretty sure you can detonate a suicide vest via remote control. in fact, it would be a virtual necessity to ensure it can be as a backup to ensure that the device gets detonated, to avoid the "martyr" from being captured.

just something to think about when you hear stories about young girls with no apparent history of even religious adherence supposedly blowing themselves up while yelling for help.

if you wanted to create a diversion, for example, a reasonable tactic would be to strap a vest on somebody you consider expendable (i.e. a female), push them towards the cops and then explode them remotely, while you sneak out the back.
