Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

So what changed today Sloly? Why not midweek when there were barely 250 people, when they got reinforcements on the weekend you can handle it all of a sudden? These people would’ve packed up last weekend if they had been told they would be ticketed. They weren’t here to start an insurrection against the cops. They understood they had the okay

I've seen lots of chatter today about Sloly being a CPC supporter/donator. Wonder if being burned like that got things into motion from people higher up in the food chain?

I was worried for a bit that we were living in like the 1930's with the successful far-right coups; luckily instead we're in the 1920's with all the unsuccessful coup attempts, I'm sure this is fine.

The thing about coups is that the first attempt is never successful. It’s the ones that come after that work.

Canada is very much like Burkina Faso in that the true center of power isn't in Burkina Faso (even more actually!) so any coup here would be pointless without Washington endorsement

I think the assumption is we're getting a preview of how a successful coup would go; which involves the security forces who are currently largely apathetic to whats happening defecting en mass actively participating as co-conspirators; which would be enough for a 1989 situation to kick off.

Seems like maybe the folks sitting on piles of unsecured fuel and pressurized gas shouldn't just hop straight to arson, you know? Sets a bad precedent.

It sounds like some tenants pissed them off.

When I was a student I live 2 blocks from there, in a basically identical building. I keep thinking about what I would do if this was going on, it's so bad for the people that live in that area. I used to walk everywhere these people are protesting to get basic food, transport, etc.. gently caress what a bunch of assholes. Waking up to a fire in the lobby at 5am? Jesus christ.
