There will always be some opportunistic groups looking to cause more mayhem in chaotic situations like this. These protests have been literally “mostly peaceful” no?

These protests have been literally “mostly peaceful” no? Exactly. Didn't "Bugaloo Bois" try to hijack the Black Lives Matter protests? I think it's important to be careful, and not try to paint a…

Several of the most prominent acts of violence during the BLM protests were indeed Boogaloo Boys (murders of multiple police officers in Oakland, arson at a police precinct in Minneapolis, shooting up a different precinct with an AK-47 while shouting "Justice for Floyd!")

It appears this was the result of terrible security at GiveSendGo. I'd agree it could be state sponsored, but I am certain there are enough people with the skills to do this on their own downtown Ottawa (even if it turned out they work for the gov't). That said, I am thoroughly disappointed the Federal gov't and much of the media coverage. They have done nothing but make the situation worse. I think it is intentional…

Sleep deprivation and continuous noise is considered torture under Geneva Convention and by the U.N.[1] and Canadian law[2]. U.S. and others have been condemned heavily for using such techniques and U.S. has since stopped (at least officially) even in black ops places like Gitmo. Protests and blockade are one thing, continuous noise in areas where people live and work is not peaceful . [1] https://tbinternet.ohchr.or…

This type of revelation will likely be commonplace in the days/weeks ahead as militant extremists are exposed.

There is also potential for it being false flag operations in order to justify more militaristic responses.

As a Canadian I humbly request Americans stay out of our politics, particularly when it comes to influencing them via monetary donations. Get your own house in order, don't encourage wannabe insurrectionists who had a manifesto to take over the government in blatantly undemocratic ways.

> particularly when it comes to influencing them via monetary donations

Were any of the GiveSendGo funds marked towards supporting political candidates?

You mean where your support for a controversial political movement would be irrevocably public? If this list had leaked Bitcoin addresses, the next thing you'd see would be a report of everything else those addresses had been used for.

if I want to make an anonymous donation I can send BTC to any big player that consolidates outgoing transfers from their hot wallets and you won't have a chance in hell of knowing who sent it. of course you can't move millions or illegal monoey like that (you can't use it like a tumbler) because it would be traceable if coinbase or whoever get subpoenaed but you on this case you would be safe from persecution from su…

That's like saying you could give cash to someone else and then there won't be a link. We know that most people, even fairly committed users, do not have perfect opsec and cut corners for convenience. If you're proposing something for general use, you need to make your plans about what's safe for the median user rather than the 99th percentile.

I doubt someone who lived that close to the honking had the ability and chutzpah to do this. After seeing how angry people got over Joe Rogan, I absolutely think there are militantly progressive people who are more concerned with the content of speech than the chilling effect of limiting free speech who would do this. Which isn't to say I agree with the Ottawa protesters or bridge blockaders; I think both went well o…

So is somebody physically blocking a bridge with a giant truck and refusing to move it less militant than somebody pulling their music off Spotify and writing a letter explaining their choice? Why did you use the term “militant” to describe the side that is not using military tactics.

This is the standard right-wing strategy. Speak of your opponent exactly as you deserve to be spoken about. As long as you do it first, it makes accusing you of what you're actually doing less impactful, and sows doubt.

Basically, they know that one side is militaristic, and the other is not, but they side with the militaristic side ideologically, so they reflexively demonize their opponents with terms that better describe themselves, Knowing it's a bad look intentionally distancing themselves from the reality of what they stand for.

I guess that's what counts as hacktivism these days. Doxxing working class people and their supporters. It's nice to see the left and right's true colors here and how easily they pulled back the veil of opposition to reveal their true contempt for the lower classes and the real class war underpinning everything. These last two years, I have seen so much scary authoritarianism from well-meaning people using their own…

Per dang's nice request, let's open this up a bit and talk about why this is happening. It's now acceptable (and even lauded in the comments of this post) to doxx people with the wrong opinion. What changed to make otherwise reasonable people approve of this course of action? I want to know what societal switch flipped. I've seen it posited that it's due to the pseudo-anonymity of the internet, but that doesn't seem…

Not everyone can work from home on their MacBook while wearing PJs. Let's be honest, the people who are part of this protest do not represent the socio-economic interests of those who make up HN. It really boils down to elitism.

HN is mad that the working class is advocating for themselves and not busy delivering our Amazon packages and making us lattes.

From your own overtly biased link:

> Under the new law, an Oklahoma driver will no longer be liable for striking — or even killing — a person if the driver is “fleeing from a riot ... under a reasonable belief that fleeing was necessary to protect the motor vehicle operator from serious injury or death.”

Super disingenuous to characterize that as "it's legal to run over protesters".
