the american empire has been hollowed out by decades of private equity stripping the copper out of the walls to chase quick gains and wealth disparity reaching such an extreme level a few hundred people can manipulate the bulk of the economy... it offers no promise of a better future for generations to come, just raw violence and oppression when it's leaders get embarrassed for being incompetent shitstains and continuously declining material conditions otherwise

It is because the US took off the "glove/mask etc etc" and is becoming the openly fascist state it has always really been. It is that the protests very clearly found a pressure point and you are getting a very clear response.

But as most fascist regimes, it doesn't really rest on the donors/politicians/cops/talking heads, but middle class people at home who are chill with all of this.

it’s “middle class” people acting as the muscadins who tossed fireworks into a camp and chanted for Trump as the cops marched forward.

Those aren't the people I am talking about; I am talking about people reading the NYT everyday to get the latest on the world. The people who still trust the system, and are counting on their 401Ks. The regime can't exist without them.

It's a typical media distraction. While they talk about that poo poo they don't talk about the rest. That stuff is the typical type of detail that American loving cling to and debate forever. It's pointless and not related to the actual subject but jeez if we aren't gonna talk about those dumb chains for more than 5 seconds. It's like January 5th's plastic zip cuffs or OJ Simpson gloves. Or the piss tapes. Who gives a poo poo really.

As noble as killing congresspeople would be, I still think the Columbia protestors are far more justified in their actions.

In New Orleans there are several ongoing protests, one in Jackson square and another in Tulane. The university first tried to drown out the protesters with elevator music coming from a trespassing sign.
Trespassing sign with cheerful music

Jewish student organizations demanded the encampment be removed.


quote:

Tulane student Yasmeen Ohebsion spoke against the demands and questioned how the protestors choice of tactics.

“The demands are silly, I think this university with almost 40 percent Jewish population is not going divest from Israel. If they really wanted to have an actual productive conversation with the administrators, which I have dozens of times, they should scheydule a meeting with administrators,” she said.

Ohebsion said the protest has made Jewish students on campus feel unsafe.





Then they sent mounted police and failed to clear the area after the protesters made a human chain.



Unfortunately, last night the NOPD swat team came through the Tulane encampment armed and arrested tons of people. 7 students were suspended. Jeff Landry that evil bitch is gloating of course.


https://www.wdsu.com/article/swat-nopd-officers-pour-onto-tulanes-campus-overnight-as-protests-continue/60656542 posted:

Early this morning, after issuing numerous warnings, Tulane University Police Department led a coordinated effort by the New Orleans Police Department and Louisiana State Police to remove protestors who have trespassed on our campus over the last two days and erected an illegal encampment on the edge of the lawn in front of Gibson Hall along St. Charles Avenue. The overwhelming majority of the protestors are unaffiliated with our community.

"At this point, police have reported that at least 14 protestors have been arrested, including two Tulane students. These arrests are in addition to the six individuals, including one student, who were arrested on Monday. Monday’s offenses include trespassing, resisting arrest and battery on an officer.

"Students who participated in this unlawful occupation have also been referred to the Office of Student Conduct for immediate disciplinary action. Seven students have been suspended. We are also actively looking into reports of university employees participating in this unlawful demonstration.

"Today’s action was carefully planned and coordinated over the past few days with the goal of keeping the protestors and our community safe while returning our campus to normal operations. In the days leading up to this action we issued multiple verbal warnings, written statements, broadcasted messages and erected a huge sign warning demonstrators that they were trespassing and were subject to arrest.

"Free speech and the freedom to protest are sacred to us. Spirited debate is fundamental to a thriving academic community. We have supported numerous lawful demonstrations throughout this year. However, we remain opposed to trespassing, hate speech, antisemitism and bias against religious or ethnic groups. Harassment, intimidation, violence, and other criminal acts on any of our campuses are not acceptable. Organizers of protests need to know we will not tolerate these things.

"While the protestors have been cleared from campus, police remain to ensure that our university is safe. Security measures and the visible presence of police will remain at their highest level throughout the remainder of the semester.
