@dan_sabadas that’s not a mechanism that’s an assessment of “popular attitudes” – which is meaningless in this context. Put up or shut up. What is the actual scenario by which you are expecting BoJo will be removed from office despite his 80-seat majority before his term ends?

@carra_the Churchill ordered the terror bombing and strafing of black civilians who had no idea they were supposed to be British subjects at all, for example in Sudan. Has BLM engaged in any such activities?

@carra_the are you saying that dropping bombs on civilians from the air isn’t terrorism? If I’m not mistaken, Churchill referred to as “terror bombing.”

@chriswicks hilarious. An entirely intentional “extremists of both sides are the same” gesture, trying to falsely claim the mantle of radicals for centrism, by dishonestly pretending those other statues are under threat. What an ass.

@dan_sabadas whereas if the movement didn’t exist he’d be gone before his term ends? By what mechanism?

@carra_the no, terrorists are people who try to terrify living humans, usually by trying to blow some up to scare the others. Churchill himself used such terror tactics (vs Nuer, Kurds, Bedouins) but no one in BLM is threatening to do anything to hurt a living person

@hamasinpitta First they came for the statues. Then they came for the police special weapons squads. Then they came for the private security forces. Then they came for the billions in trust funds and pedophile rings and there was no one left to stop them.

@dominichills5 @FirstClassHack wow two misspellings of “occupy” in one sentence there are more different sorts of security forces in that part of Lower Manhattan, and better armed, than probably anywhere on earth. And actually we did do actions to disrupt Wall Street itself anyway.

@writermonki by getting into the electoral process they meant raising money and bribing existing politicians like anyone else.

@MordechaiGabai I’m totally fine with working with those running electoral campaigns if they respect the autonomy of the non-electoral left, don’t try to coopt us, & understand not doing so is to the benefit of both. Such people alas are rare.

@FirstClassHack good – just not in the media. I just got so sick of hearing that word. I mean they were making students write essays on the topic “Occupy failed because….” It would be nice if this lasted more than a few weeks this time.
