@JoshMessmer @Catboy6663 Not a perfect metaphor, to be fair.

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@JoshMessmer @Catboy6663 Yeah, I see no practical difference in outcome between "I intend to kill X peoples" and "I dont care enough to stop the erasure and slow death of x peoples" other than temporal scale. The attitudes/intentions in each are equally culpable, somewhat like intent/recklessnes in law

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@JoshMessmer @Catboy6663 I understand you just fine, and while you may not mean to sanitize the language, you are. Genocide is an accurate term, a fitting term, and an important term to use when we describe long term and more easily identified short term efforts to erase a people.

@cskuse7 @RodneyTori @OPP_CR @YourCaledon Correct - meaning most cops don't require lethal force weapons and are overpaid.

@OPP_CR @YourCaledon Did you also charge the officer with a rolling stop? There was nothing there indicating that the cyclist had a special bike that could travel 100km/h.

Today, nearly five million occupied Palestinians were deprived of the right to vote in Israel’s election while Israeli settlers living illegally on occupied Palestinian land voted freely in that election.

There is a word for this: apartheid.

@Christi74006290 @SinfulMarven @profamirattaran I suggest ignoring it in QC or MTL just because it is worse elsewhere is the position of ignorance - esp if we confine our discussion to the government of QC and MTL who can only affect change in thier jurisdiction.

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@Christi74006290 @SinfulMarven @profamirattaran Why? Why must I compare QC or MTL to some other place to determine if there is systemic racism?

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@JoshMessmer @Lefty_Mind It sounds rather like "lets talk about how bad this is and how hard this is to solve" rather than "this is very bad let's solve it".

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@Lefty_Mind Especially as he seems to recognize and accept the gravity of the impact - words do matter and the label genocide fits the gravity of the problem; and should shock society to reflect on what it will do to eliminate the systemic problems.

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@Lefty_Mind I would counter to him that the effect of the action - be it a systemic one or a conscious one - is the important defining feature. Just because one is systemic and much harder to solve is not a good reason to sanitize how we speak about the killing of peoples.

The Ford Govt released a plan tonight to vaccinate teachers in JUNE.

LIKE COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE MORE FUCKING INCOMPETENT.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[m.s.v.e @BobTheHick]

@Christi74006290 @SinfulMarven @profamirattaran The thing about racism is, it can exist in all three cities simultaneously and just because it is worse in your personal experience in Van and/or TO does not mean it doesnt exist in MTL.

We have sent letter after letter to the @fordnation government yet still no mention of transit workers getting the vaccine in Phase 2.

Transit is a critical service. Our workers need access to it now.
