There were multiple medical emergencies on-campus that paramedics couldn’t respond to because the protesters blocked their entrance. If you were a “good cop” you’d be damn proud to get this rabble out of the street.

Cheese balls. Giant tubs of cheese balls.

The prevailing attitude on Lemmy seems to be that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. Comments that don’t support the protesters are quite rare.

I think I might still have some of these laying around somewhere. Good times.

Palestine needs its own state, for sure. But unfortunately there is no way that will happen as long as Hamas has control of Gaza.

That’s what most of the fediverse seems to believe.

Marx Financial Freedom Steps

1. Buy a gun and ammo
2. Revolt against your oppressors
3. Don’t profit because profit is bad

It’s good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than “stop supporting Israel”. People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.

There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.

Lemmy users don’t understand nuance. “Israel bad” is all they understand.

There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.

I’ll believe it when I stop getting only rejection letters for entry level jobs.

The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.

When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…

When people are incapable of understanding nuance…

I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.

This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.

Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn’t automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.

Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you’ve calmed down.

Let me rewrite this headline:

“Democrats would rather elect a literal Nazi than Joe Biden”

Which is bull, but essentially what the article is saying.

If you won’t vote for Biden because of Gaza, you are an ignorant, narrow-minded idiot and you are handing Trump the presidency.

Yeah, UCSC feels like an odd choice. Maybe it’s because they’ve had a lot of union activity there over the past few years.

Yeah, it’s not like they need more excuses than they already have to drop insurance plans.

Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn’t some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.
