I’m so sick of seeing videos and posts of a bunch of privileged college students who decided to make a geopolitical conflict their whole personality and who view college as a LARPing opportunity instead of fucking school. You just know they wouldn’t be screaming about this if they had any actual hobbies or any ideology besides what’s popular online and what pisses off their parents. It’s all about a radikewl aesthetic while affecting absolutely nothing in the real world. And now with Columbia University’s rabbi urging Jewish students to stay away from campus because it’s unsafe, what the fuck have these LARPers done other than harass Jews off campus instead of going to class in their “Gaza solidarity encampment” (AKA their excuse to skip class and not do assignments)? People in Gaza are still hungry and displaced, Hamas still has hostages, but don’t worry, guys! Students at Columbia are being antisemitic by praising 10/7 and cosplaying anarchy instead of going to class “for Palestine”!
They’re just insufferable, and their First Amendment rights don’t exempt them from the rest of us judging them for their actions
Yes, this is antisemitism, you fucking lying sack of shit:
"A lot of these students are Jewish" is a lie that's being used by antisemitic leftists to cover their bigotry. Jewish students aren't being told to stay away from campus because the protests are welcoming to Jews and full of other Jews!
Here's what's actually happening at these fucking "protests":
We are six fucking months into the people on twitter and this website defending blatant antisemitism or straight up lying and pretending that this hasn't been a major component of these protests since day one. There's no way anyone is simply misinformed anymore--this is a very deliberate, misleading framing to get people to stop talking about antisemitism, stop defending Jews, and to accuse anyone of accurately describing their behavior of malice. I know I shouldn't be surprised to see a hammer and sickle icon on twitter defending antisemitism, but I saw this tumblr post out in the wild on my dashboard with no pushback and I'm completely fucking over it
Also: a jewish student reporter was jabbed in the eye with a flagpole,
A visibly orthodox jewish student was surrounded by protestors and prevented from entering a building,
A protester held up a sign calling Zionist counter protesters "al-Qassam’s next targets" (you don’t have to like Zionism but that legally fits the definition of incitement to murder jfc), saying "Hamas we love you […] burn Tel Aviv to the ground" (I thought these people didn’t like to be called Hamasniks?)
A group of Jewish students were surrounded by protesters in a show of intimidation,
And a rabbi working at Columbia straight up told Jewish students to stay home
Jewish students and people, upstate NY is friendly to you for the most part. I'd recommend North of Saratoga.
If you follow that advice, shoot me a message with the nearest city to you and if you want we can meet up there.
I understand if you don't want to leave, but if that's the case then I'd suggest arming up, this is how shit starts. It will inevitably get worse, as it's already started to. Be smart, and per my personal policy, stay strapped, don't get clapped.
If you need lessons in riflery or handgun shooting, as long as you provide arms and ammo, I can handle the rest.
A) Yes change university
B) Druid we talked about this
