RE: #Boycott or economic blackout, #GeneralStrike, and #TaxStrike are escalations. Get in the streets and stay there. This is like a bouncer putting someone's arm behind their back and moving them.
Sometimes people try to slip out of that and fight back. Imagine if a bouncer just let themself get pummeled because they weren't ready, even after the belligerent asshole telegraphed it. A lot of bouncers take martial arts, not because they use it as a first response but because they want to be ready for those edge cases.
Armed revolution is like a bouncer getting down to brawl and calling in their buddy with the zip ties and bear mace. It's not something anyone starts with, or anyone wants to escalate to, but some people can't take a hint and are incapable of doing what's best for everyone.
Always know your next step (even if you hope you don't have to take it).
Imagine if a bouncer was just like, "oh, I asked him nicely but he told me to fuck off. I guess the creep who's punching random people and pissing in the corner runs the bar now."

Remember that time when the world agreed we had to be net-zero by 2050.
Well, enter Mark gas-it-up Carney.
"Natural gas to play key role in strategy to double Canada’s electricity grid by 2050”
Because apparently: “the plan, which is called Powering Canada Strong, will lower the cost of electricity for seven in 10 Canadian households by expanding the role that natural gas plays in the energy mix.”
Even though solar and wind and batteries/other storage are the cheapest sources of grid-scale electricity in the world.
What they are actually going to do is use this to justify LNG plants that ship natural gas to *other* countries to electrify their grids even though, again, it is far cheaper to do renewables.
