Good Morning! It is Saturday, May 9. On this day in 1921, Sophie Scholl was born. She was a key member of the Weiße Rose (White Rose)—a resistance group run by students at the University of Munich who distributed leaflets and used graffiti to decry Nazi crimes. #Herstory

Counterinsurgency for Politicians
I recently listened to a talk on fighting insurgencies and/or terrorism (Extremists in Uniform, on Preet Barara’s podcast) and thought how very relevant it was to recent Canadian and American politics.
Phillip Mudd was talking about terrorism as an infectious idea, and split the counterinsurgency problem into two parts.
The first is in combat. There, you defeat the leaders.
But the second is everywhere there is recruiting going on. That’s partly happening where your war was, but it also could be Isis recruiting on-line in Canada and the US.
The problem is all the followers.
Unless you want the insurgency to pop right back up again, you need to talk to the former followers and their supporters. They need to know that God doesn’t want them to kill all the evil Canadians. But to do that, you actually need to talk to them and find out what started the war.
No-one starts a war without a reason. The leaders puff up the reason into a rage, but the problem doesn’t go away when the leaders lose an election.
If you’re honest and visibly work to fix the problem, there won’t be a need for an insurgency, and over time the number of terrorists will fall to ones and twos. It won’t fall to zero, but you’ll be dealing with lone wolves, not packs.
How does this apply to Canada?
We have two political parties that used to overlap. We had left-center and right-center parties, and they used to debate loudly and peacefully. We used to stage marches and picket lines, but good leaders were recognized by the opposing party.
For example, the well-known Conservative Hugh Segal was appointed to the Senate of Canada in 2005 by Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin.
Twenty years later, it looks like the US. The parties hate each other, try to cause parliament (not just their opponents) to fail, and describe each other as evil and depraved. And their supporters smuggle weapons to support a picket line at the US border.
Congratulations, you have a two-part insurgency
If you really want to stop the “war”, you need to do exactly what you do in a real war.
- First you “kill” the leaders. A lost election or two will suffice.
- Then you need to talk to the followers. They wouldn’t start a war for no reason, even a shouting war. Canadians are too polite for that.
You need to find and fix the things that make them think you’re evil. Fortunately, God isn’t involved, just lots of rage, so it’s possible to have a discussion about what caused the war. Probably a “spirited” discussion, but a discussion.
But if each party looks to see what’s harming the supporters of the other party and works to fix them, you eventually get peace, order and better government.
As Bill Davis famously said, “bland works”. Not creating opportunities for a charismatic leader to try and whip their followers to a rage is how he was successful.

I’m anticipating that the #Greens could take over control of #Norwich city council, that would be at a cost to #Labour. There is one ward that may go to #Reform.
The county picture is murkier. I suspect #Reform will replace #Tories in many instances. I fear the impact this will have on the city, because I have seen the Tory impact despite zero presence on city council for years now.
Signage and leaflets significantly down for all parties on previous years.

🌒 As darkness descends,
the wind 💨
blowing through leafless trees
along the steep river ravine,
is groaning long and slow,
occasionally rising
to end with a brief shriek
reminding me of
the voice of a tortured old soul
in a frightening
movie
about a haunted mansion#EveningThoughts

CW: climate protest anecdote
This afternoon I went to the #MoveBeyondCoal protest outside NAB HQ in Melbourne. I was doing outreach, handing out leaflets to passersby.
Me: Would you like to know why we're here today?
Teenagers: Sure
Me: We're asking NAB to stop funding Whitehaven coal mines.
Teenagers: Fuck coal.
Me: Oh, are you here for the protest?
Teenagers: Well, we are now.They stayed for the whole thing.

#UK folks - time to get out and #vote. I didn't trudge around my neighbourhood last night in the bastard rain, delivering leaflets so you could let some Tory arsehole squeak a win.
There is also a real possibility that if the bastards get a proper thumping they'll call a general. So for once, every vote really might count.
and don't forget your #PhotoID

We distribute lots of #BoycottIsraeliApartheid & Join the #BDSMovement stickers & mini info leaflets around our city & surrounding towns nearby. I have a little free library in front of our house that is stocked with #BoycottIsrael #PalestineSolidarity stickers & info zines.
They help more folks learn why they should join the global boycott to stop genocide. Boycotts do really work ✌️🍉🇵🇸🍉 -

White Rose
The White Rose (Weiße Rose) was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany led by 5 students + a professor at the University of Munich. The group would distribute leaflets + post graffiti calling for opposition to the Nazi regime. Their campaign ended with the arrest of several members by the Gestapo in 1943.
Siblings Hans (24) + Sophie (21) Scholl, as well as Christoph Probst (22) were executed by guillotine four days after their arrest in 1943. While Sophie + Christoph were silent as they died, Hans yelled "es lebe die Freiheit!" (Long Live Freedom!) as the blade fell.
Members Willi Graf (25), Alexander Schmorell (25) + professor Kurt Huber (49) were captured + beheaded months later.
1) Christoph Probst
