man they named the Streisand effect like twenty drat years ago or something and the ruling class just didn't learn a drat thing if they just ignored the protests in the first place none of the other campuses would have even joined in and it'd be over by now but they sent in a bunch of idiot cops to escalate it nationwide lol i guess it's better to have the news focusing on domestic discontent rather than genocide though since you can just report on them without actually talking about what they're mad about

Flournival Dixon posted:i guess it's better to have the news focusing on domestic discontent rather than genocide though since you can just report on them without actually talking about what they're mad about this is what differentiates this from BLM. there is no complex web of interconnected systems and mechanisms to untangle. the protestors all want to stop the genocide. you don't have 1 million competing groups like OWS, and you don't have to explain what prison abolition actually entails, or how defund the police does not mean wanting pure anarchy, etc.

dead gay comedy forums posted:seen that thrown around elsewhere, but have you heard about material conditions What's so wild about this groundswell of protests is that most American students have no skin in the game. There's no a personal stake. What that tells me is that the US is a powder keg waiting for a flame.

as cynical about human nature as i can be, most people do not actually want to support a genocide. they will go to great lengths to avoid thinking about it, avoid realizing they are implicated, etc, but most people can grasp this is hosed up. We are seeing young people choosing not to sit idly by and accept it. These are kids who are correctly seeing this for what it is, and the overdone response is only confirming it for others. I hope this starts a movement. i know my hope is likely unfounded and blah blah blah, gently caress it, support these kids.

Danger posted:The campus poo poo is really heartening and all but what I'm really stoked for is watching as this thread breaks the mega- barrier and becomes insular around a specific set of posters whose outsize time spent posting creates some sort of celebrity microcosm and feeds into a spiral of real life derangement that ends up with a multitude of posters defending a thread superstar for like braining a cavapoo with a brick. I don't know what any of this means and I'm glad of that

https://x.com/christapeterso/status/1783296022598570127 Sending the police in on these kids is the dumbest thing to do but it happens I guess unless the answer to all these are No: Is the university president a Zionist (or a coward/moron just aping the other responses)? Are there Zionists on the board to force the President’s hand? Is it a state school with a coward/Zionist governor? Are there Zionist donors to threaten to withhold millions? Is the Zionist media going to put your school under the skewed microscope of phony antisemitism? So then they all end up doing the dumb thing

youcallthatatwist posted:From the perspective of someone who's actually been in and around them, the protest groups are extremely anti-liberalism and anti-capitalism. We can argue about how effective that rhetoric is, but mass media is never going to give you a clear depiction of the students' positions. I take umbrage at my posts being characterized as doomerism. I have specifically pointed to the utility of these protests in building a movement. However it is useful to examine past events to shape your current actions. It is also useful to recognize the limits that certain types of actions can achieve. Perhaps you could expand on how these protests are anti-liberalism and anti-capitalism. youcallthatatwist posted:This is a lot of words about a lot of things, but no evidence that the students have no politics beyond moral objections. The only politics I can find in this is anarchist claptrap about not needing to organize. WoodrowSkillson posted:The pigs beating the poo poo out of oneself or one's friends is an extremely quick way of radicalizing people and increasing support for ending the genocide in Palestine. i do not give a poo poo about the socialist revolution in the context of this thread and it does not matter. Anything that helps end the genocide is good. The socialist revolution or the significant degradation of the ability of the American state to project power in the region are the only things that will end the genocide. It did not begin on October the 8th. What you are describing is slowing the genocide down, which is a worthwhile goal in itself, but still a genocide. strange feelings re Daisy posted:College divestment was a major factor in ending the South African apartheid government. It started a chain reaction. These students don't need to start a socialist revolution to defund Israel. Student bodies are already beginning to pass divestment votes with large majorities, which is incredible because one year ago college BDS advocates were largely treated like pariahs. Apples and oranges. South Africa was not one of the fundamental underpinnings of America's energy policy. I fear this battle, divesting American universities & businesses from Israel, will be much harder. ====== Where I see these protests as being useful is in building solidarity between Americans and Palestinians. The fact there have been pro Hamas expressions is fantastic, rather than typical condemning both sides bullshit. They are also useful for normalizing anti Israel sentiment within America. Particularly at the Ivy League schools, if these kids don't have their careers destroyed it potentially removes a major barrier to further opposition to zionism. Lastly, and most importantly, is the potential for building a revolutionary movement. This is harder of course but probably necessary to end American support of Israel. It is hard to overstate the structural forces behind this support. I think a good thought experiment is what sort of protests or mass movement would be required for America to stop giving Israel the bombs it is using in Gaza?

Cornell set up tents on the quad this morning and were ordered to disperse less than 3 hours later deadline came and went with nothing happening besides more students showing up, and now admin says they're gonna suspend all the students and fire faculty who support them https://ithacavoice.org/2024/04/cornell-students-raise-tents-joining-other-campus-gaza-protests-nationwide/

the liberal establishment is complicit in genocide so the liberal establishment is suppressing protests about said genocide and conservatives are only going to complain about police not using enough violence
