Another in case in point for my "the next/younger generations of democrats will be even more psycho than the previous ones" prediction

What will happen with many of these people, including this kid, is that they'll genuinely just start believing that they're a modern aristocracy. This has always been sort of implied via cultural norms/expectations, but I think we'll start to see it become more explicit

jesus christ I'd never heard this part of the story before.
Wapo article

quote:

She wound up at a crash pad in Indianapolis, thinking that if she could just get to California, she could start her life over again, but a kid at the house where she was staying recognized her and tipped off a reporter from the Indianapolis Star. Mary Ann, barely disguised in a granny gown and fake glasses, talked to the reporter, hoping he’d give her bus fare to California in exchange for her story. The reporter got his scoop, then called the authorities, who put her in juvenile detention as a runaway.




perfect counterpoint to that piece of poo poo whining students won't talk to reporters.

this is a shining example of just how expertly they weave lies into the very fabric of reality. "we have to keep killing innocent children because they asked us to stop"

So Israel is saying their agreement would still involve *some* war? And Hamas not wanting that is somehow absurd?

yes. the israeli position has always been that he Palestinians are temporarily embarrassed citizens of Egypt or Jordan who are to be killed or expelled. the western position has always been that the palestinians need to die quietly and that there is no civil solution because otherwise democracy might vote the israelis out of power.

war is a requirement of the israeli state not just to grow but to survive day to day. israeli knows this and the west knows this. in the west, however, it is not fashionable to publicly recognize the necessity of war, violence, and genocide to the continuation of the israeli state.

something that's been bugging me since last night is this reaction from certain people about how the campus protesters keep referring them to spokespersons when they're asked about the protest

they're trying to make it sound like this means the protesters don't really understand what they're even protesting about, but (and I'm maybe betraying my computer-toucher-ness here) it's standard practice in corporate settings to do this? I've taken trainings where the instruction to employees is that if you are approached by the media and asked about anything that's going on in the company, you're supposed to not answer and refer them to a spokesperson

It's of course standard practice everywhere but makes journalists' jobs harder. What do you think happens when someone asks Peggy Noonan for a quote about internal NYT drama?

Oh it's very standard and if there's one group of people who would be very familiar with that it's journalists. But you know, if you don't constantly report on it in one context but do in another that creates a kind of image which is deemed beneficial to the capitalist class.

The journalists understand that their job is to say these kids are dumb and don’t even know what they’re protesting for. anything and everything can be an angle to arrive at that.

"So far Hamas has not given up its demand to end the war, thus thwarting the possibility of reaching an agreement." is an Onion level statement.

it's extremely standard with cops and the press always loyally reports whatever the cop PR person says so they're more than aware how this all works, the true reason is:

Tom Friedman writes that he's troubled by Gaza protests because they're not condeming Hamas or specific Israeli government policies (lol).

Bret Stephens writes an extremely I'm not mad column sarcastically thanking campus protestors for giving him moral clarity into his zionism.

Neither are worth reading but the cowards also disabled comments on both (free speach!!!)
