Re: Shooting at Quebec City Mosque
The women were thankfully separated from the men according to Islamic gender apartheid tradition. Shooter seems to be a Muslim refugee. Did I get that right?... Is Trump ordering these incidents via some Manchurian Candidate program? Sweet jesus what a timing. You will provide sources for your attr...

Re: In case any U.S. members have time for protesting

Re: In case any U.S. members have time for protesting
Taking this advice makes you a shitty demonstrator, a shitty American and a shitty human being. Shouting people down and deplatforming are tools to destroy free speech and useful discussion.

Re: In case any U.S. members have time for protesting
If a Nazi gets shouted down with "NOPE! NO NO NO! Bad Nazi Bad! NO BISCUIT!" or someone like me singing music from Fiddler on the Roof, it humiliates them and makes them feel weak and powerless, which is exactly how they should feel. It is also effective. It's only effective because they ...

Re: In case any U.S. members have time for protesting
Optimize visibility. Unlike in town halls, you want your presence as a group to be recognizable and attention-getting at this event. It may make sense to stick together as a group, wear relatively similar clothing / message shirts, and carry signs in order to be sure that your presence is noticeabl...

Influence =/= hacking. I was trying to influence the election by telling people not to vote for Hillary because she voted for the Patriot Act and the Iraq War; that doesn't make me a threat to democracy.
