There's battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if ev'rybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

We don't negotiate with terrorists!

4/29/2024 7:26:40 PM

college protestors are wicked annoying
but also that thing Israel is up to is wicked bad

4/30/2024 9:00:34 AM

We not only negotiate with terrorists we fund and supply them with weapons. We have been sending money and weapons to Israel for some time now.

4/30/2024 5:06:10 PM

That all depends on who you think "we" is.

4/30/2024 7:14:39 PM

We should just give all of Uncle Sam’s weapons to Hamas and Iran instead!

Cleared those hippies out tonight. Gonna be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Lol, they had some fool on CNN tonight who was the president of the organization leading the encampments who complained that the university wouldn't provide them blankets for their tents.

Long as your vote doesn't help trump most of us group think folk don't give a fuck

5/1/2024 12:31:50 AM

^^

Yeah and one of them was giving a speech saying the university should provide them with food while they occupied a campus building. Which makes me feel so weird about this. Like on one hand these guys seem a bit dumb and naive and then on the other they're "rocking the nation"... splits my brain

5/1/2024 2:46:29 AM

^ Yup. I've seen a few pieces highlighting their complaints that the university wouldn't bring them food and water. These kids are practically screaming at their parents from the basement about how awful they are while simultaneously demanding their Totino's.

5/1/2024 10:25:57 AM

What’s even more crazy are their actual demands:

https://www.finance.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/ACSRI/12.1.2023%20CUAD%20ACSRI%20Divestment%20Proposal.pdf

They want the university to completely divest from companies participating in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians - including Facebook, Amazon, AirBnb, and Caterpillar. Completely insane and never going to happen.

it's not really that out there, Walter

the students did it in 1968, 1978, and 1984 too

78 and 84 were specifically about divestment

the '84-'85 actions were successful:

ya know, Ronald Reagan campaigned for governor by bashing student protestors at Berkeley back in '66-'67

https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/spotlight-primary-source/ronald-reagan-unrest-college-campuses-1967

the idea that anti-war protestors are spoiled brats remains popular in the US
but without them might we still be fighting a war in Vietnam?

Oh yeah, they about to start cracking terrorist hippie skulls at UCLA.

5/1/2024 11:52:56 PM

Something to be excited about!!1

5/2/2024 11:58:04 AM

bunch of pussies at UNC got owned by frat bros.

5/2/2024 2:00:19 PM

why were they chanting "USA?"
the issue is Israel and Palestine and there are Americans on both sides of the issue

seems pretty braindead to think this is an issue of nationalism

5/2/2024 4:37:57 PM

Everything can be an issue of nationalism to meatheads.

Because a mob took down an American flag (in America of all places, by gawd!!1) that was flying at half mast for the Charlotte cop shootings and replaced it with their own prop? Seems like they are trying to incite the nationalism...

5/2/2024 8:55:54 PM

that's pretty dumb of those protestors to fuck with a flag

is it possible that all people involved in this story are stupid?

Meh, it's just performance art at this point. The more provocative you can be, the better. Ownin the libs 'pubs
