[…] It was then, in February, that Mr. Damsky opened an account on X and began posting racist and antisemitic messages. After he wrote in late March that Jews must be “abolished by any means necessary,” the university suspended him, barred him from campus and stepped up police patrols around the law school. He is now challenging the punishment, which could result in his expulsion.

Yeah, he sounds great. At least they clued in eventually…

Teargas drones? They already use them to suppress miner strikes in the various 3rd world slave labor camps, wouldn’t be surprised to see them used on protesters soon

So just spitballing here, but which is more likely - nobody is doing anything at all to try and stop this, or that you’ve bought into a largely manufactured perspective given to you by the (spectacularly) captured international news media system?

(There’s been protests, many of them getting quite violent, every single day of this bullshit in the US. Just so you know.)

People are working damned hard to put it out - why on earth do you think they aren’t?

Yeah this is some Imperium of Man bullshit, wtf.

So the use of protests to establish broad community support for a cause won’t make a difference…? That sure seems to contradict every historical example, but you do you.

I think we can all say yes to that.

“It’s inconvenient to my argument so I’m declaring it doesn’t matter”

So some of the largest protests in the country’s history count as docile now…? No revolution in history has started with the bloodshed, it always escalates (like it is actively doing in the US) and aside from that blindingly obvious historical truth, it’s really weird how attempting to avoid violence is now somehow a societal failing.

Saved you a click: it’s 37% that still approve.

Fucking hell.

Yo we don’t care when americans shoot american children, why should we care if someone else wants to get in on it? No way to prevent this. ('sides, with a name like Omar Mohammad Rabea the kid had to have been brown)

Seems like uh… maybe a strike is in order? Maybe?

Really, anything from the Game Canon is a good choice: Mario, Doom, Tetris, SimCity, Civ I, Warcraft, SpaceWar, Zork, that soccer game I don’t remember, StarRaiders.

I haven’t seen anyone mention Zork yet, and it really ought to be in contention here. Pretty much all video games can trace how their narrative is structured through gameplay back to the foundations laid by Zork, even doom. It drew on Colossus, sure, but it built on it so much that it became revolutionary to both games as a storytelling medium and to natural language processing. Really cool stuff.

Holy cow, that’s… that’s pathetic. Good grief.

Bills must be paid by Wednesday, or else.

… or else what, exactly? There seems to be a whole lot of sternly worded judicial opinions, but can they actually do anything to enforce said decisions??

Really, because the luxury hotels are all fortresses already (for the security of the guests aginst those nasty brown people, obvs) and self contained (already have everything you need onsite) with little off-site visibility (you can’t easily see the human rights abuses). Oh, and they’re owned by Trump’s friends, and they can charge obscene amounts of money for renting out space like this.

No saying they’re not raping little girls because duh, just that they clearly don’t care about having luxurious surroundings to do that. There’s way more straightforward practical and corruption-centered reasons for the choice.

"Well the USA did it, too! has got to be the worst justification, for anything, that I have ever heard.

“… they need to fix the problem quickly, and after some political dicking around this is the only option they’re left with?”

Allright well we seem to have the Americans warming up to perform their hit number “WE TOLD YOU SO” lets see if it changes from the last fifty times we’ve heard it…
