I applied to graduate school......AND ACTUALLY GOT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know how much I will actually be on here until like early December as a result because I work a full-time job and now have homework on top of that, but I love you all and will drop in from time to time. :)

I HOPE YOU GET GOOD NEWS ON SOMETHING YOU’VE BEEN WANTING. YOU DESERVE IT

From Pepe's book It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp:
your man thinks onions should be incarcerated for 5-10 years
Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)
Bothersome beast, comforting friend
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.
People in the screenshot and one of the posters above are so clearly disconnected from complicity of colleges in the army like you are embarrassing. You are literally so embarrassing that you think these things. You should be embarrassed to say things like this. Please, define privilege and what it means to you, as an American who supports the colonial state of Israel. You've never thought about your privilege once in your lives.
