Thanks for clarifying - I understand your position a bit better.

I’m willing to chalk up that detail in rockSlayers post as an aspirational, semantic slip delivered in the heat of the moment. Racists aren’t ever going to completely disappear - that sort of toxic mindset has been with the species for as long as we’ve been around.

Keeping them contained and at bay is important though - and a big part of it is ensuring a sense of accountability remains present in the zeitgeist.

As mentioned in a separate response, reparations aren’t a standalone cureall - expecting them to operate as such is myopic.

Additionally, responding to cultural injustices on the nazis terms is not a good idea. Going on the backfoot emboldens them further, and leaves the current generation believing accountability has limited range.

This is an uninformed, cynical perspective on what reparations are:

Here’s a breakdown on what the term means, according to Amnesty International

An unwillingness to engage with or even acknowledge crimes and reprehensible action committed by colonizers at a societal level is a red flag. Reparations aren’t meant to be a silver bullet against white power propaganda - just one of many steps needed to mitigate its spread over time.

Sounds about right.

Ford himself is a bloated, oaty turd steeped in corruption and classic conservative idiocy. These two chodes pretending to get along isn’t surprising.

Spent 30 odd years in TO.

Theres a lot of toxicity there. Been punched in the head, throat, kicked in the back (lol), spat on, had slurs screamed my way, and hit by cars (yes, plural).

But hpx, what’d you do to provoke all this?

Nothing, friend. I’m quiet, polite in interactions, keep my yap shut and mind my own business. Every single one of these happened out the blue with little to no input my end. Each left me more flabbergasted than the last.

Some I actually get - unhoused or mentally compromised folk lashing out at unlucky targets. But others had more malice - the pack of skinheads looking for a fight or drivers who felt inconvenienced because they had to stop at crosswalks.

But hey, least it ain’t Calgary. Fuuuuck that place.

good grief this little man is adorable

woosh

Not disputing the effectiveness or access regarding guns, but a significant portion of altercations at protests are cqc. Tides can change quickly in these situations, especially with mobs and the chaos they bring. Knowing how to handle yourself in these situations isn’t entirely useless.

Either way, the fact they appear to be increasingly committed and organized around inflicting violence is a pretty clear signal on future intent. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, I suppose.

exquisite. no notes

What channel is this from?
