The protests are a pretty good counterpoint.
Protests have been on the right side of history and built momentum from civil rights to suffrage to anti war protests to climate protests to today.
And even on the supposedly left of american center reddit every single one of them is using the exact same talking points that was used against every single other one of those protests.
Columbia is a liberal college in one of the most liberal states with a liberal governor in a liberal city. It looked like the cops were ready to invade a small nation.
And the overwhelming opinion is against the protestors pretty much everywhere other than here and tik tok.
I know that, but people keep waking up about Palestine and other things. Conditions are becoming more revolutionary and the committed reactionaries are largely cowards.
