Smoke grenades work by very slowly burning the powder inside, just like the CS grenades that may have started a fire in Waco.

If there’s an issue with the lot, they can start incredibly hot, intense fires. There are fires in Petawawa every summer from them lighting the dry grass. So protesters loving around with smoke grenades could also go very badly, or hilariously, depending on your point of view.

WRT CS gas being a prohibited chemical weapons: Hollow-Point bullets are prohibited, per the Hague, or tying or binding the hands of Prisoners either by custom or Geneva iirc. Try to imagine policework without those two things.

This isn’t a war, so it’s a moot point.

lol i was just trying to make a dumb joke about how the protesters work in the FIRE sector instead of being poor downtrodden workers

no, the knights and the clergy have different basis of power. they are seperate and neither controls the other. both need to exist to keep the peasants working though, so they coordinate

The state exists because they have a monopoly on violence. What we saw in Ottawa was a failure of the police to use this violence to keep control, that's why the state stepped in.

the state controls your mind, the police control your physical body. this concept of "The monopoly of violence" and "politicians control the police" are illusions projected into your brain to control your actions. politicians are media, and media doesn't do violence it brainwashes

if you ever encounter a man with a gun that guy has the monopoly on violence. not some concept of a politician

Gotta say that the FBI arresting people in the aftermath of George Floyd was useful in that it gave us a lot of information about how they identify people from photographs. Helped refine some tactics.

Watching reactionaries freak out when the state actually puts the boot on their necks is always good for a laugh.

Walked the dog, got yelled at for wearing a mask. Another block and a flag bearing pickup drove by. The weekly gathering of the crazies in downtown Calgary is starting early.

SQ are masked, horses are pulling back from their line. I'm expecting pepper spray to be deployed. Wellington and Bank.

This protest actually seemed very well organized. People want to deny it, but I think they have accelerated lifting of health measures. The people on the ground are clearly mostly idiots, but the way they blockaded strategic points with trucks and built encampments points to significant money and organization.

I don't think anyone in particular was behind the protest itself but i'm guessing a hodgepodge of fash/business interests chipped in now and again to make it worse

that's the part i've never understood. even if everything they were saying was true and correct, what exactly is it supposed to do? it's clear that everything and everyone is following the "fake" laws, it's also clear that the state doesn't want to follow the "real" laws since it made up this whole charade to obscure them, so what then? do they think the judge is going to look at one of their big books and realize "oh my god, you're absolutely right!" and everything will go back to how things are supposed to be? or will it cause all fake judges to literally turn into ashes? or they'll somehow spark a revolution when everyone realizes they were wrong?

they think real life is like a video game or a tv show, you just make the right objection or press the right button and you defeat your enemy, who is somehow bound by these rules like it's magic. the delusion runs so deep.
