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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
In bad country, students who protest the government's massacres are expelled from university and thrown into prison
Then they are locked inside an isolated cell where they die and their corpse fuses with the mattress
Free country btw
Administration in academia is a fuck
When the communist youth trot out professors and administrators into the struggle session, I will laugh my ass off.
Professors usually are on the side of the protests , administrators and trustees however…
Usually, dependent on the subject matter, and degree of involvement with Israeli business or politics.
When I reached out to some for events, it’s usually professors within the social sciences. There were a couple of engineering professors who supported us but said that they can’t do anything since the administration automatically kept an eye on them following the attacks in October
I read that as “when the communist youth out trots the professors and administrators”
On the NY Times comments section, fascists are calling for the protestors to be deported.
I saw this on the news the other day and they said 'antisemitism' more times than they said Gaza.
The American liberal, faced with this reality, tends to concede that truth is in fact drowned out by a relentless tide of spin and propaganda. Their next move is always predictable, however. It’s another lesson dutifully drilled into them in their youth: “At least we can dissent, however unpopular and ineffectual!” The reality, of course, is that such dissent is tolerated to the extent that it is unpopular.
Big-shot TV host Phil Donahue demonstrated that challenging imperial marching orders in the context of the invasion of Iraq was career suicide, when a leaked memo clearly explained he was fired in 2003 because he’d be a “difficult public face for NBC in a time of war.” [5] The fate of journalists unprotected by such wealth or celebrity is darker and sadder. Ramsey Orta, whose footage of Eric Garner pleading “I can’t breathe!” to NYPD cops choking him to death went viral, was rewarded for his impactful citizen journalism by having his family targeted by the cops, fast-tracked to prison for unrelated crimes, and fed rat poison while in there. [6] The only casualty of the spectacular “Panama Papers” leak was Daphne Caruana Galizia, the journalist who led the investigation, who was assassinated with a car-bomb near her home in Malta. [7] Then there’s the well-publicized cases of Assange, Snowden, Manning, etc. That said, I tend think to such lists are somewhat unnecessary since, ultimately, most honest people confess that they self-censor on social media for fear of consequences. (Do you?)
In other words, the status quo in the West is basically as follows: you can say whatever you want, so long as it doesn’t actually have any effect.
They didn't just try and poison Orta. They put his block on lockdown and fed the whole row poisoned food. The other prisoners ate it and were vomiting blood and shit. I think he just took a bite or two because a bunch of COs were standing outside his cell demanding he eat.
My uncle got expelled from grad school for this shit back in the South Africa anti-apartheid protests. They just keep using the same playbook, but this time they're screeching "ANTISEMITISM!" the whole time.
All the "free speech" hogs celebrate this because they consider every muslim to be subhuman terrorist, meaning the students speaking out against Palestine's situation are considered terrorist sympathisers.
Death to America
It says here you received a felony for sitting quietly in a meeting room
