I spoke with The Tyee this week about a web summit in BC, that included individuals like Lauren Southern. Southern is well known for her racist and anti-Islamic publications and social media platforms. She is now attempting a redemption arc, but is non-apologetic for her past, and the harm she has caused many. There can be no redemption while still profiting from hate, not apologizing or making amends, and while now using the same platforms to try and be “centrist.”
