have i actually produced an opinion on this, yet? i think i've produced vague statements of solidarity for the blockades.
the thing about this is that the law really isn't ambiguous, when it comes to these blockades in ontario and quebec. it's a different issue in the actual area around the actual pipeline, and i've tried to clarify these points. so, are you asking me if i support the decision of indigenous groups in ontario to brazenly break the law in protest at something on the other side of the country, then? i don't understand the question, really. what does that mean?
it's kind of indefensible.
so, you don't really support or oppose the actions, so much as you take positions on what the right way to undo the problem is. i would take the side of deescalation here, for the reason that they aren't actively harming anybody. if they were acting more aggressively, i'd take a different stance. but, going in there with tanks is just going to make the situation worse. if i thought otherwise, i might support a stronger crackdown.
but, i would reject the accusation that my kind of disinterest in what the six nations are doing (it's pointless and counterproductive - they will most likely just end up in jail, in the end. they have no valid protest purpose, here. they will lose the most basic arguments in court, and have to rely on the mercy of the judge, which they might get.) extends to what the groups in bc, who have a clear and valid protest purpose, are doing.
do i support them, yes or no? morally, but not functionally. i won't condemn them, but i think they should stop.
