like i said in this context its misleading it makes it look like this is the UN of psych when its not. this has no impact on the rest of the world and the headline wants to imply it does. it can even be misleading in just America.
“The environmental emergency that we are collectively facing, and that scientists have been documenting for decades, cannot be addressed if those raising the alarm and demanding action are criminalized for it,” says Michel Forst, UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders under the Aarhus Convention....
just sad that the people protesting are fucking crazy and then make climate change look like a fucking joke. these people are the perfect example of the worst kind of people fighting for your cause and in doing so make the cause look stupid or not as serious. one would almost think these people are funded by big oil companies to make climate change get a bad image or associate it with crazy people.
nobody is going to take you seriously if you throw food at the Mona Lisa. it makes you look ridicules and there in almost guaranteeing nothing will get done. Civility just means don't act like a crazy person nobody is going to listen to a crazy person.
are you really asking why crazy people making headlines and becoming the face of a movent makes people not take that movement seriously? because that is exactly how you kill a movement. seems to me your just playing dumb.
because in the times that actually happened there was no other way. that's kind of the whole reason democracy exists that you don't do it that way. Civility has nothing to do with being polite it has to do with controlling your emotions and to not act like children and to use your words like a grown ass person. because saying uprisings and unrest and revolution is easy until your in it.
i'm not justifying anything i'm saying if your movement gets associated with crazy people nobody will take it seriously. im not talking about people being reactionary i'm talking about if you want environmental activism taken seriously you better disassociate from the crazy people like differentiate yourself make that very clear your not them or your movement is fucking dead. has nothing to do with what you find stupid. its about not repelling people if you want to get shit done.
that is exactly what democracy is talking to people that despise you and that you despise. because the next step is just violence and killing some people.
its what always happens with a party named after a political philosophy. the politics of the party change but keep using the name. they should just call themself the socialist party already. and maybe later they can change it again to the communist party.
bro did you even read what i said. its a liberal party that's not liberal anymore only in name. they are more socialist leaning that has nothing to do with what Canada has or does not have. its like having a socialist party that does not care about the workers anymore or country that is communist but does not have socialized anything and you need to pay before you can even see a doctor. theory is different from practice.
i said its a party that is no longer what its name says it is they are far left in almost everything they do they are more like European socialist parties. but you seem to think this will just make them stop to exist when i said from the very beginning they are liberal in name only and that this happens to a lot of political parties over time that are named after a political philosophy. they are bad from both sides they are not liberal for a liberal party and they are not socialist enough to implement the more left wing politics they now actually have. Justin is just very funny he is an empty suit.
