Canadian police arrest activists at Wet’suwet’en anti-pipeline camp

And in case anyone thought the cops were on the right side of this. Between this and the bullshit about the Mohawk having AK-47s (and why, precisely, shouldn't they arm themselves to resist an illegitimate occupation anyway?) there's an unpleasant pattern emerging.

Do you mean occupation of their territory for the pipeline, or the occupation of First Peoples lands by Europeans and their descendants in general?

Just asking cause there have been threads about the ladder. If the ultimate goal is the dissolution of Canada and the return of all land to First People’s control, giving the population disparity I have my doubts that armed resistance would work.

I refer to any invasive action by the RCMP or SQ on their territory, though to put it bluntly, I do consider CANZUS to be innately illegitimate states at this point. That, however, is a matter for another thread.

So, to be clear, you are advocating armed resistance against the government of Canada?

To be clear, I'm questioning why it's treated as shocking and unreasonable that an occupied people would want to be armed.

Fair enough.
