Not speaking on Canada since they're under a different rule of law, but in the US you have a right to peaceably assemble to redress grievances. I'd say it's up to the govt and to the collective population to decide what defines peaceable. In the case of the Canadian protest, they didn't qualify
Didn't qualify under what determination? It shouldn't matter, the right to protest applies to any human being. And this isn't based on a human law. It's human nature to protest when you feel silenced and ignored. How do children get attention, they cry or act out, this is called "cry for attention".
These behaviors of protesting are how humans handle the situation of being ignored. Or as Stadler puts it, having enough of being treated as the lesser out group, while being excluded from the better in group.
Authoritarianism is fascinating, only due to how it's based on human behaviors and the desire for power and control.
What I do not like is how the authority utilizes Detrimental situations for their own beneficial gain. And this is something that has occurred throughout human history in every culture of the world. I would even say that is the foundation of what history is.
And there are humans out there who are tired of living under the current system of society. They're awakening to the realization of how the world is run and what our sustainability is reliant upon. So they're voicing their concerns and one way is to gather and protest for the world to hear. But based on many different variables, the concerns of the people vary.
Horton heard the whos and had to convince the others to hear the whos. Their needs to be a leader who is the Horton for the people.
