  1. “Only people who don’t party care about injustice enough to speak out against it” is a weird fucking take.

    The First Amendment isn’t the only provision of the Constitution. When evaluating the circumstances under which speech is protected (and to what degree), you have to also consider other constitutional rights. That includes the Fourteenth Amendment and equal protection.

    Depends. Are you a recipient of federal financial assistance who has discriminated on the basis of your opposition?

    I just read the bill. It’s a bit confusing, because it’s short and mainly references other laws and sources. But as far as I can tell, it does not “criminalize” antisemitism. Instead, it clarifies the definition of antisemitism to be applied by the Department of Education in claims of discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. And, yes, that definition (which is defined by reference to an outside source) is quite broad and includes the list of items quoted above.
  6. You’re reinterpreting past protests through the lens of hindsight. Every successful protest movement of the past was initially met with scorn, ridicule, and violent opposition by the establishment and its dumb, reactionary defenders. Every time, the protesters were criticized at the time as performative, ineffective, counterproductive, ungrateful rabble-rousers. That was true of those who fought for labor laws, women’s suffrage, civil rights, and an end to the Vietnam War. Only after the dust settled and the public caught up to reality were they proven righteous.
  7. I know! It’s weird, right? What obscure event presumably happening in some hidden corner of the world could possibly have inspired these massive protests against Israel’s recent invasion of Gaza? I guess we’ll never know…
  8. We call that “baseball dumb.”
  9. Good lord. That’s John Kruk “walks just clog up the baseplates” level dumb.
  10. We call the latter men “Nazi assholes.”
  11. “Furtive placement,” imo.
  12. What makes you think it’s any of your fucking business, Karen?
  13. You can’t stifle free speech on campus, either, but the commies who passed that law found out that you can’t stop brave American Patriots willing to stand up to oppression and stomp some smartmouthed college kids for fun. I have a God-given constitutional right to carry a semiautomatic rifle with me at all times. If purposelessly wielding an AR15 in a powder keg situation is wrong, then everything America stands for is wrong. And god dammit, I’m not about to stand here and let you besmirch the United States of America.
  14. If you really want to confuse the jackboots, you should walk around campus with AR15s and insist you’re protesting for both First and Second Amendment rights.
  15. It’s called a “pretext.”
  16. Oh cool. You're like Beetlejuice, except I only had to type “dumb fucking fascist” once for you to suddenly appear.
  17. There sure are a lot of dumb fucking fascists posting on this web forum.
  18. FUCK HARTZELL
  19. You’d better believe the young people protesting on campus will vote.
  20. This was a joke, right?
  21. That may be how small-government conservatives spin it. But what that movement has always truly been against is fair taxation, sensible regulation, and an equitable society.
  22. Hey, that’s a good idea! Let’s give these depressed loners guns and combat training.
  23. You don’t say!
  24. This. I think many wrongly assume that fascists are all goose-stepping, cos playing foot soldiers obsessed with genocide. The real engines of fascism are run-of-the-mill assholes. The substantial portion of the population who believe they are entitled to special status and who enjoy feeling superior to others. They may be otherwise intelligent or pleasant. But they are all too willing to overestimate their own accomplishments and wrongly attribute the rewards of good luck and a stacked deck to Hard Work or Ingenuity or some other mark of personal superiority over the unwashed masses. Those are the dicks who truly drive fascism. The casual racists who go about their business every day in the private sector, along the way supporting any con artist who confirms their delusions of grandeur and protects the fantasy by oppressing the less fortunate. They talk politics on the golf course or around the water cooler, convincing each other that they are special, that they earned their presumed elevated status, and that they are the rightful masters of the universe. We all know these types. Sounds like Beantown has the ill fortune of working for some of them.
