It used to be that if you graduated from one of these universities, it almost guaranteed the student a job. But who is going to hire one of these hate filled antagonistic morons?

Seriously, if my company hired one of these lunatics, I’d tell them I don’t want to work with them, I don’t want to communicate them, I’ll quit now before this political postal posturer decides I did or said something wrong or one of my ancestors did or might have & ruins my possibilities of employment anywhere else with some screaming rant on various social media platforms.

You mentioned postal postures. It’s not at all hard to imagine these people going postal in a work environment that displeases them. Your future employment prospects could be the least of your problems with these lunatics!

They hide their faces to make sure they don't have to face any consequences or miss out on any future job offers—Palestinian babies are important, but not so important to fuck up a career path and its earning potential. Priorities!

the masks are so cowardly and so typical of our "i want to express myself with no consequences" age. if you really believe a "genocide" is taking place, shouldn't stopping it be worth facing jail or a job loss?

i have major schadenfreude for upscale academia, they have nursed these destructive narcissistic children and raised them in the worst way—by confirming their every thought and acceding to their every demand—and deserve to burn.

Pretty sure that is to hide their identity, although I don't know for sure. A Covid facemask won't stop you from being recognized if someone is trying. But, in combination with hat and sunglasses, that's a lot of Una-bomber wannabees.

It is truly bizarre. I think apart from hiding their ugly faces, I think they feel that the masks make them look more endangered and at risk of something rather than just looking like normal pampered college kids.

oh Jesus.

perhaps the biggest irony (in a laundry list of ironies) is that the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 was the most successful, globally recognized “Land Back” movement in modern history.

and the SJW’s absolutely loathe it.

for over 3,000 years the Israelites have been invaded and ‘Colonized’ how many times? from the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Romans, to the Ottoman Empire and the British mandate, the United Nations legally recognized the Jews as the original ‘Indigenous’ population of Palestine/Israel/Judea. but that is too much History and logic for the current crowd. as we know, history only goes back as far as is convenient for the activist children of today.

regardless, it seems that the chickens have finally come home to roost for the elite universities and I’m tickled pink because of it. after decades of indoctrinating students to become brainwashed ‘activists’, the universities have finally found there own line in the sand…the endowments.

the Ivy League is experiencing their own version of Dostoevsky’s ‘Demons’ and they deserve every minute of it...

Oh it is really delicious watching chickens coming home to roost and watching actions (finally!) receive long-overdue consequences.

For at least 2-3 generations now American academia has indulged in hateful hysterical anti-civilizational rhetoric and nursed an illiberal viper in its bosom, fed on millenarian fantasies predicated on the new sacred dogma of Crit Theory (remember: "the ruthless criticism of ALL that exists") that: 1) condemned our society as the epitome of an oppression so ubiquitous that it's baked into EVERY aspect of our lives, up to and including our entire history, culture, education, sex relations, down to every syllable of language, which was created to transmit bigoted structures of oppression (no theory too absurd! no hatred off limits as long as it was aimed at a kulak); and 2) that the solution for all this evil was the intense moralization and politicization of every person, place or thing (living or dead) that had created or flourished in our fallen world, with the verdict delivered every day in every Studies class: Western Civ must be sentenced to death for its crimes against the planet and the marginalized, with its replacement some form of "socialist liberation" overseen by a vanguard class of philosopher-kings, all trained in our state-subsidized educational institutions, which were long since transformed into Social Justice madrassas.

And at long last the day of reckoning has arrived and Foucault's children have come of age and are somehow the ONLY people in American academia who practice what they preach and pay attention in class.

The tenets of Crit Theory and Social Justice (the official creed of America's educational and cultural classes) demand that the entire Ivy League (at least) be burned to the ground, with the charred earth returned to its rightful indigenous owners.

At last some just deserts! Hope the INFANTADA and campus Red Guard can achieve Justice—they and their teachers asked for it, and they deeply deserve it.

I can understand people being upset about the situation in Gaza. Who wouldn´t be sad seeing so many people killed in the war? Regardless of how one feels about Israel, what is happening to the Gazans is tragic. What´s weird to me is the way Israel´s actions are equated with white supremacy. It´s as if the protestors are trying to draw a line between racial issues here in the US and what´s going on in the Middle East. I don´t get it.

I kind of talked about the white supremacy nonsense in this post back in October:

https://www.euphoricrecall.net/p/the-left-is-flunking-the-moral-test

"What people need to understand, writes the American Mind’s Seth Baron, is that the Left’s persistent antipathy towards Israel doesn’t necessarily stem from antisemitism. They don’t hate Israel because it’s a Jewish country; they hate it because it’s a white country.

Never mind that Israel’s Jewish population includes people of all skin tones; the Zionist project is still classed as a racist colonial state built on stolen land that must be radically 'decolonized.' Israel is merely a synecdoche for white supremacy. That’s why Leftists call it an apartheid state despite it bearing no resemblance to apartheid South Africa. But also don’t forget that the Left calls America an apartheid state, too, and that this characterization will become even more common as our white population shrinks below 50%. Predominantly white countries aren’t permitted to exercise control of their borders because that’s 'racist,' and ending majority-white populations is the major project of the global Left. Israel merely tops the list."

I agree. All war is terrible.

What bothers me is that we’re funding a war in Ukraine, in Syria, in Sudan, in Yemen, in Somalia...and none of these people have ever protested about these (Yemen a little bit). This conflict is treated differently, and it's hard not to conclude that anti-semitism plays a role.

Bill Maher had a good segment on the protests:

The leading Jews look European. The students have been conditioned to hate white people and see them as all-conquering villains. All the accomplishments of European and North American civilization are ignored, such as the abolition of slavery.

That's it. The model was implanted and another group of white people became an enemy.

It is easy. The model is oppressor-victim. The victims have been chosen even though it was the victims who kickstarted the latest round of fun on Oct 7.

If Palestinians are victims someone must be the oppressor.

Remember, preloaded hate schemas are fantastically efficient. As you saw in some of the videos above even inarticulate morons can embrace the cause since oppressor-victim is designed to be easy to understand.

This is the danger of allowing academia to continually indulge in anti-American hate. Once it becomes successful they would inevitably aim the weapon elsewhere.

It’s seen as racial apartheid because the Palestinians are mostly semitic (darker skin) and Orthodox Jews are mostly European. I believe that there are racial oppression issues in the Israel/Gaza conflict. I am sympathetic to the Palestinians, absolutely, and also Israeli people (and I am Jewish, but the way the Israeli govt handled covid revealed a hatred of Jews—and where was the IDF on Oct 7? I suspect a false flag as provocation to level Gaza). However, are these protestors really helping Palestinian civilians? Or putting off those who might be critical of Israel, because they don’t want to be associated with these student protestors? They have been indoctrinated and are now being USED to make criticism of Israel a crime, I suspect

There are those who equate anti-zionism with anti-semitism but I don´t think critizicing Israel will be illegal anytime soon because it´s mostly the Free Palestine crowd that wants to prohibit free speech.

For what it's worth, I truly don't think any less of you if you consider yourself one. Not all leftists are crazy or subversive. It doesn't make you a bad person if most of our opinions are wildly divergent, and I appreciate and respect the fact that you subscribe. It shows that you're able to entertain ideas that strongly conflict with those you're a proponent of, which is the mark of an intelligent and temperate mind.

Thanks. It´s been quite the journey. All of my friends and family are left-leaning and in many ways I still am. But all the craziness around the Covid vaccines and related issues really turned things around for me. I saw how biased much of the media was referring to ivermectin as "horse dewormer." My decision not to get vaccinated put me on the other side of a great divide and since then things have never looked the same.

Rainbow, I enjoy reading your comments. I’ve been contra-leftism for years, but I admire those who are obviously trying to figure out what’s right, not just what aligns with their pre-determined belief system.

In the end, that’s what we all must do. Thanks for listening with an open mind.

World class education for all, I guess.

I was a graduate student at Yale’s School of Architecture and Art, which (honestly, not to brag, but) was the hardest program in the world to get into, back in the early 80’s.

The reason I bring this up is that i vividly remember one night, in the middle of a series of all-nighters in our studio preparing for our final reviews, a friend of mine standing up and yelling, “Anybody remember how fucking psyched you were when you got into this place?” Broke the tension!

Anyway, I would ask these kids the same thing and then add, “Does anybody remember what you hoped to do here and the sacrifices your families made for you to study here?”

Lets be clear, this is a "student led" revolution just like the Cultural revolution was "student led." There is a reason this took 6 months of incubation. while the leaders were there, they needed to indoctrinate the rank and file. You only have to listen to the nonsense they spout to know that there is only one source for that idiocy....our universities.

The main problem is when they picked their Goldstein, they literally went and picked Goldstein. They are taking on one of their main allies and major source of the financial backing for both the universities and the bullshit they have been espousing. we need to keep out and let them destroy the institutions they have corrupted.

We can rebuild them afterwards.
