CREATURE????

just when you think it couldn’t be worse, you have to battle a creature

I’m choosing to believe him because I think there should still be mystery and adventure in the world

Okay I looked this one up. He said he talked to God, made up some songs, and lost nine kilos during his 20ish hours in the water. He was also completely nude when he was rescued.

I don't know how to draw One Piece fanart, I'm just a humble Supernatural fan who took a wrong turn and landed in this rabbit hole >w<; (I'm enjoying it though.)

I gave Dragon eyebrows....... And I don't know when he got his tattoos or when Crocodile got his scar/ lost his hand etc etc. I' winging it. In my defense, I've only been back into OP for three weeks *lol*!

centrist guy in 1970 seeing university anti-vietnam war protests in the news

The difference, of course, being that university students in the 1970s stood a good chance of being drafted, and therefore had a direct material interest in opposing the Vietnam war, because the war’s continuation could very well get them killed.

These students, by contrast, are taking a conflict that fundamentally isn’t about them and doesn’t involve them (with the exception of Palestinian-Americans and others with familial relationships in the conflict area), and using it as an excuse to play-act their revolutionary fantasies in a setting they know they’re safe to do so in, secure in the knowledge that push won’t come to shove in the form of something like a draft.

It’s also worth pointing out that the Vietnam protests could legitimately be described as anti-war. Judging by the tenor of these particular protests (and rhetorically analyzing the content of chants, posters, signs, etc.), this round of protest could, at best, be described as a mixed bag: in a “some of them are anti-war, for sure, but a non-insignificant number of them are really just fine with war, they’re only upset their side isn’t winning” way.

Here at Kent State the survivors of the 1970 shooting are going out of their way to support the student protesters. Keep their name out of your mouth.

If anything is "privileged," it's acting superior to an anti-war protest from the sidelines.

Drafting was not the only reason people protested. In the vietnam war, like now, universities were outsourced by the US to develop weapons. Agent Orange was developed in part by several major US universities. Students are protesting the use of their educational funds for military occupation. This makes complete and total sense, there is absolutely no justification for a University to supply resources for the destruction of lives and homes- doubly so when Israel has been bombing Gaza's schools while occupied.

fellas is it privileged to care about genocide even if you aren't directly impacted by it????

my guys, 35% of my school's engineering funding comes from the department of defense. our work and our tuition is used to kill people so i think we have a damn good reason to protest? and also, we clearly aren't safe given that the police have been shooting at students? the war is at home as much as it is abroad. Also, I kinda doubt y'all would've cared about Vietnam war protestors back then, much less the Vietnamese victims. Don't go acting like you won't be all sad and supportive of the students protesting the Israeli occupation when the damage has been done.
