Link: “Placing the Proud Boys on Canada’s Terrorism List Is a Threat to the Left”
Interesting article, making the argument that however abhorrent the Far Right is, the Left should not fight to set legal precedents against them that could then be used against us – for example, potentially criminalising direct action by environmentalists and indigenous people to stop fossil fuel pipelines. A very, very important principle to keep in mind when talking about any setback to the Right.
