I was having fun. But seriously, if an organization is blindsided by zero interest rates going up then they should seriously consider exiting finance/investment banking and enter the world of making french fries. Fucking morons. Never considered that risk exposure?

I think we need a little music the students can chant:

Meh. He was always a bit of a goofball who took himself too seriously because it seemed no one else gave a shit to do that job. Only fools think he has some kind of insight, or celebrate when he is wrong. Might as well ask your psychic.

Slow methodical change is great when you are not the one being victimized. I hope you are completely missing it. I hope you haven't realized is that there is a joining of oppositional positions on this issue, and they are not joined based on a policy towards Israel, but on a policy that the University should not be suppressing students from exercising their rights in a peaceful manner. It is not about their message. Is it not about if their strategy or campus protests are impactful. What people are upset about is that our Governor, The University President, used an arm of law enforcement to suppress the lawful rights of individuals, assaulted them, battered them, and arrested them under false pretenses. Full stop. You don't think it is a big deal, but we do. The government's resources are to be used for the public good, not for the political whims of the elected and appointed, and certainly not to deprive individuals of their rights. This will not stop here. If you understand these points and consider yourself an American, then you should care. Because these are fundamental parts about the identity of this society. That doesn't mean you have to be a flag fucker. It doesn't mean you have to put the Founding Fathers on a pedestal. But if you give a shit about leaving a legacy for our children that we live in an open and self-deterministic free society, then give a shit about authoritarianism tactics being used by the state, even against those you dislike and despise. BTW, I am with you on people protesting in highways fucking traffic up for everyone else. But let's not conflate one group with another just because they have some alignment.

Socialism!!!!!

Cops dont show up in riot gear to not kickass and make things worse.

Choose life, choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family…

There was a shift in campus demographics (women outnumbering men) that happened in around 2007. Probably related.

I thought you macho men were against safe spaces?

Until your next Username? Is this going to be the updated version of the left-wing extremist violence thread we were all promised but all they could come up with was a few spray painted cars in Sacramento in 1998?

If all men are created equally and the president has immunity from all crimes, then so do I.

is this your other account Sgt Hulk?

If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.

Explains why you think the world is getting more dangerous. You seek out stupid shit to be offended by and scared of.

My sweet summer child, they don't care about the truth.

Spelling mistakes. Trying to post about the price of tea in China and pretending that has something to do with free speech. Then trying to pretend the world is more dangerous than it ever has been because well, somewhere in China, those Chinese Jews are getting harassed. No understanding of anecdotal evidence or confirmation bias. Cannot admit to being wrong. Cannot understand nuance. Cries cloak room. I used to wonder at how the minds of VEEP writers worked and how they were capable of making these hysterical and insane things for our amusement. Now I am sad to know they just followed people like you around. Did you know that math uses Arabic numerals!

Cognitive dissonance requires cognitive function. There is no evidence of that, just rote memorization and reactionary bias towards youth.

There is a weird visceral reaction that some have when they see students protest. I tend to think it is because they are younger, better looking, and have free time. We have posters advocating for cracking skulls because a crime could be committed. And of course they are OK with it, because the don't like the message and because it isn't their family.

You see what you want to see because you ingest the propaganda a spoonful at a time. The world is going to hell unlike the old times (When I was an ignorant kid, and people were more noble). This was a sentiment from the Canterbury Tales. I guess our world is much worse than the late 1300s. Right? Fear is your only guide.

I am a deferred billionaire.

You don't stand for shit. You just saw cops attack, threaten and intimidate people for exercising their free speech, and you did......nothing. Sorry that is not fair, you defend the political goon squad who did the intimidating, threatening and violence.

My wife came home yesterday to a man in the kitchen with a large knife and her kids nearby. I guess she should have shot me for making dinner. Moron.
