guy needs to look up the meaning of the word "sole"
Sole.
congratulations?
What did you think he got wrong?
dude. how many protesters and defendants are we talking about? is it more than one?
He was referring to them collectively. In English, "you" can refer to one person or a group of people.
yeah that's not the word we were talking about?
βBut the plain fact is that each of you has some time ago crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic. You have appointed yourselves as the sole arbiters of what should be done about climate change, bound neither by the principles of democracy nor the rule of law.
YOU have appointed yourselves as the SOLE arbiters of...
YOU is collection. The collective have appointed themselves the sole arbiters of...
Do you understand now?
dude, you're the one who came in here asking questions. as soon as you decide that you understand, the conversation will be over. unless you were being disingenuous and pretending to ask questions when you were actually trying to make a point
I didn't ask a question, I posted a snippet from a ruling from a similar case in the UK. I was set upon by apologists for the fanatics who showed utter contempt for the thousands of people trying to get to the airport by gluing themselves to the loop at YUL, refused to back down, and here we are. These people think that they can bully everyone into doing what they want them to do. They are wrong.
Here is my original comment for reference.
I didn't even say anything. I just posted the snippet.
I'm so fucking done with you dude
You're upset because I pointed out that the comment about the word "sole" was wrong. Dude, you need to get over yourself.
