Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

As if libs will protest
This will catch more comrades than libs, and the libs will gleefully clap saying they should have voted for Biden
Libs will only realize what they've created when there's no one left to protest their persecution by fascists because all the other groups with conviction have been targeted
We all know the poem
"First they came for anyone to my left, then i joined them because I'm a total lib."
This would honestly make a fantastic slogan on a banner. Simple, memorable, to the point. Easy to print in huge letters on a sign that a single person can hold.
There aren't enough leftists to shake a stick at.
These protests on college campuses are most likely still populated with libs. If there wasn't a genocide going on, they would have been at brunch
True, but there is and they chose to risk arrest, suspension, and eviction to stand against it. It's likely most aren't leftists, but this act of protest could be the beginning of a new page of political consciousness for them
I'd hesitate to derogatorily call any of the students libs
Time will tell, but the cynic in me has seen these things play out a bunch of times with little to no results.
Here's to hoping.
