@OrionKidder If you're in Victoria this year, I'd like to meet up(outdoors) for discussions & brainstorming for progressive ideas to implement for creating a more mutually supportive society.
@msquebanh I am pretty much never in Victoria, sadly. I'm mainland based. Are there any communications platforms you're comfortable with? I'm on Signal these days.
@msquebanh I should also say, my on-the-ground experience level is not nothing but it's also not super high. I'd have to be prudent about what I get myself into.
@OrionKidder I've been on an the ground activist up til 2 yrs ago. Experienced a lot of cop assaults & massive abuses of govt & cops powers. I hate them all now.
@OrionKidder The last time I did a solo lockdown was 2 yrs ago. I joined in with #WetsuwetenSolidarity. Chained myself to front doors of #RBC in downtown #VictoriaBC & shut it down for 4 hours. They sent over 20 cops to deal with me & I mocked them for coming out for just me & told them to call down more of their cop pals & we can have a proper street party. They were boggled by my response to their threats of arrest. I told them to quit their jobs. 2 did quit their jobs, after.
@OrionKidder I don't chain myself to excavators or hang myself off huge bridges anymore because I've got progressive physical disabilities & they've weakened me, physically over the years. I do a lot of work to help more physically capable activists on high risk frontlines now.
@OrionKidder I understand & that's also why I appreciate volunteer activists who do other non-arrestable work. It takes many different people, doing many different actions to create necessary changes. Not everyone can frontline. My at home work builds aren't illegal so I'm good ✌️
