El precio de la protesta
Resumen
Muchas democracias liberales están actualmente desmantelando los cimientos de una democracia profunda a través de la construcción de un marco de seguridad juridizado. La expansión de las excepciones de seguridad que privilegian los intereses de la propiedad privada de una pequeña élite por encima de los derechos humanos que promueven la responsabilidad democrática, como la libertad de reunión y la libertad de expresión, ha acelerado esta inclinación antidemocrática. La designación legislativa de «infraestructura crítica» aísla a ciertos sectores de la economía de las protestas. Las excepciones de seguridad que salvaguardan el funcionamiento normal de la economía aíslan efectivamente al sector de los combustibles fósiles de la presión política democrática debido a la dependencia del statu quo. Los combustibles fósiles son el objetivo de los manifestantes y se los designa como infraestructura crítica precisamente porque las economías dependen de ellos actualmente. El uso de multas extremas es una tendencia preocupante que se utiliza para incapacitar a los ciudadanos desobedientes, ya que la mitigación del riesgo favorece los intereses de los propietarios frente a los intereses de grupos que son abrumadoramente jóvenes y, a menudo, Indígenas en América del Norte. Este documento traza una tendencia hacia sanciones económicas más duras por protestar en los EE.UU. y Canadá y argumenta que la transición a multas extremas para los manifestantes se basa en parte en el aumento de la categoría de (el tipo) de crimen en el que cae la protesta que podría potencialmente ampliar exponencialmente el número de personas sancionadas.
