    Great post, and wasn't meant to singularly call out Palestine (although that is the big issue of the day). My frustration with the younger generation lies in that many of them seem to have ONE issue that they center their entire personality around (be it Gaza, tiktok ban, student loans, etc) and they will willingly ignore EVERYTHING else and gleefully punish those in power if they don't get exactly what they want on that one issue. Behavior with potentially horrendous ramifications if widespread enough.

    I mean, these were publicly announced as an act of solidarity with the other nationwide encampments, all of which were overnight establishments. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this discussion, if I'm being honest.

    ... do you think these kids put up tents with the intention to take them down at the end of each day ?
  4. Chuckie Finster
    Turning the south mall into a tent village is a pretty strong red line for me, regardless of the cause. Genuinely surprised that so many on here don't seem to care.

    And focusing all of their political energy on Gaza will keep it that way

    For those uninformed...

    Biden does not care about appeasing the very vocal minority on whatever they decide is the issue of the day, that is true. His presidency is filled with things that have improved the life of young people. It is a choice to ignore those.

    Either this dude wasn't gonna play as much as we all thought, or he's surrounded by the dumbest advisors of all time.

    The honest answer: setting up a tent in a place where tents are frowned upon is the least effort/highest payoff form of protest for a broke college kid. They all are well aware that building a drag rat village on the most storied part of campus will make everyone lose their shit. It's part of what makes the bullshit reaction from the cops today so disgraceful - it's EXACTLY what the protesters want to happen.

    So obviously pepper spray, etc. is horrendous, but uh, 100% of administrators in the country would do anything in their power to prevent the most iconic spot on campus from looking like this.

    Didn't y'all hear: despite evidence of the least energized election-year voting populace in a generation and ZERO off year election results backing up this claim, we will have an unprecedented demographic shift that will push every swing state red.

    I know this isn't realistic, but unless you are bringing in Ohtani, the most correct conclusion based on the last couple of offseasons appears to be: don't sign any free agents.

    That's what is so infuriating. We have 240+ years of evidence that the current system is fine and these chucklefucks are acting like Trump is the first person in history to face a life after the presidency. (I fully realize they don't believe any of this and are purely trying to play Calvinball to benefit their team, the frustration is that we can do nothing about it.)

    Viral post going around of protesters replacing an American flag at Harvard with the Palestinian one. Protestors in 2024 have absolutely no understanding of how to create change and are purely in it for the tiktok views.

    Most of us would get fired from our jobs if we did the equivalent of publishing a national poll that showed Trump winning women. It’s absurd that they are asking us to take shit like that seriously.

    I think the fact that we traded the pick instead of drafting him tells you all that you need to know.

    Have a terrifying feeling we were provided a preview of the Final 3:

    Don't forget: These same guys that are all overrated in April will be evidence of irreplaceable lost talent when predicting our downfall in August.

    LOL, he looks legitimately pissed off.

    This is the exact type of thinking that leads front offices to choose Treylon Burks over AJ Brown. I thought last night made our trade down look even better. Tons of talent at need positions still left.

    Does Hamas make each potential victim fill out a questionnaire with a family tree and a personal beliefs quiz before they decide to kill them? What the fuck point are you trying to make? If a group of people indiscriminatingly hates another group of people, why does it matter where that hate originated?

    Then he should order their assassinations as well.

    Seen some hand-wringing that the Justices appear to be leaning in favor of some of the immunity claims. Can anyone smarter than me confirm? (Obvious caveat that what is said during oral arguments doesn't necessarily hold up when it comes to voting)

    There HAVE been antisemitic acts at these protests over these past few months. Staging a pro-Palestinian protest directly outside a Jewish museum or place of worship or where Jewish students are known to be gathering is a clear statement of intent. Acting like there is no antisemitism at all is ignorant at best, gaslighting at worst. BUT Lumping any pro-Palestinian protest into the antisemitism category and using this to justify political force is a clear abuse of power, is not what (any level-headed) Jews are wanting, and only serves to escalate the situation, empower the protesters, and actually increase the likelihood of retaliation against Jews. As I said yesterday, I am really tired of non-Jews using antisemitism as justification for carrying out their authoritarian fantasies.
