WORLD WORLDWIDE CANADA News Journal Update - (en) Canada, Collectif Emma Goldman - Either a good ally or else stay at home! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Well, the cuckoos (it's to be nice) have just discovered the struggle of

the guardians of the territory. It's good that these newly "turned on",
or so-called "resistance" people are motivated by things other than
hatred of the other (read transgender and drag queens here),
adrenochrome, 5G and "chemtrails". It is good that they and they give
peace to the refugees or to the women wearing a religious sign. However,
we doubt their objectives, but we want to believe that in the lot, there
are people of good faith who really want to help and who are a little
lost in the cuckoo clocks.

We believe that if you did not even know the claims of the guardians of
the territory, you can stay at home. Upstream (before), you have to do
your research as you so often say. It is not that the struggle of the
First Peoples does not want to be inclusive but it is important to ask
yourself a few questions beforehand about your motivations.

1) Do I know and share the demands of the group I want to help? If the
answer is no, you can stay at home. This is not the time to be explained
the consequences of colonization, Indian law and assimilation policies
on the First Peoples.

2) Why am I in solidarity with the cause? If it's to push your political
agenda (goofy conspiracy theories on forest fires), for the cliques or
your personal interests, to sell jerseys or even promote your so-called
party, you can stay at home. Your presence is useless if you only travel
to take photos or film yourself to feed your social media on sunny days
or on weekends when the industry is on vacation. The fight brings its
lot of difficulties. We confirm that there is no jacuzzi. If you are not
ready or ready to share the daily life of women and men in struggle, if
you do not want to sacrifice your comfort you can stay at home.

3) Do I know what I'm getting into and is my personal contribution
really helping the cause? If you travel to be taken care of (food and
accommodation), you can stay at home or think about going to play
tourist elsewhere, it's not an all-inclusive.

4) Am I ready to listen, to respect the way people in struggle work?
It's not your fight, you are one or an ally. You have to respect their
rhythm. Again, if you disagree with their mode of action or their
demands, you can stay at home. This is not the time to try to modify the
claims, or seek accommodations so as not to offend your white fragility.

5) Are my practices safe? Ask if you can take pictures or video of
people. Avoid taking initiatives that may cause harm (consequences) to
those in struggle.

6) Remaining in an ally role implies that you do not take advantage of
the fight. You don't call on people to make financial contributions to
help the cause (that's sleazy and opportunistic screeching). You don't
have to lead the movement. If you are not able to step aside, or not
divert the cause from its initial objectives, you can once again stay at
home.

In the end, be a good ally, ask yourself the right questions or stay at
home.
