    Excellent doc. Highly recommend. 

    Can't remember if they bring it up or not, but it's worth noting that like with all fascists, the top ranks of the early Nazi party had a notable number of hypocritical closeted sadists, much like the modern Republican party

    Oh they definitely mention it. They discus Ernst Rohm and how he frequented those clubs. It’s really good and has some very chilling parallels to what’s happening today.

    I love the drive-by “but I could never vote for Biden.” Why exactly? You disagree with his economic policies? That he kills babies in the 4th trimester? His age? It’s okay to disagree with him but considering the opposition, and the fact that the matchup is already set, and that we’re guaranteed an octogenarian either way, what on earth could possibly justify “both are bad so it doesn’t matter.” The other guy is flat out telling you he’s going to scrap all constitutional norms, and oh by the way is a rapist and criminal. I just don’t get it, at all, the assumption has to be a closet trumpkin.

    They are brainwashed. They don’t know any specific policies. They’re lost forever

    Devil's advocate as I love me a good march, but some kids just want to learn, looking at you Asian/Nigerian/Brazilian student walking through the west mall.  Is it ok to chant intimidating shit at black or hispanic students?  

    Is it ok to shout in their face and harass them? No. If theyre just chanting and paying them no mind as they walk by? It’s ugly, but I don’t see why that should be shut down with the force of the state

    staggering lack of self awareness is staggering.

     

    Protests are fine.

    Intimidation of groups of people is dead fucking wrong.  fuck you and anyone who allows situations like Cooper Union, the literal harassing intimidation of others.

     

    And NO there is not evidence I have seen that harassing intimidation happened at UT yesterday.

    Do you see a difference between intimidating chants and literal harassment? 
     

    should the neo nazis in Charlottesville been shut down with brute force from the state because of their chant of “Jews will not replace us”? That’s a pretty intimidating chant, is it harassment?

    What is the debate? Their right as Jews to exist? The right of Israel to exist? Their association with Israel? Are we going back to BC, 1948, the most recent Hamas attack, Israel's response? The treatment of the average Palestinian in Gaza? Is there a moderator? Can the audience shout down the speakers?

    I have got to tell you that debating a mob that is or isn't violent is a terrible idea. What you call debating at a demonstration is a simple yelling at each other and in those kind of debates, majority rules. Meanwhile many kids just want to go to school without incident and get prepared for finals. And just because one is Jewish, doesn't mean he supports Israel, it doesn't mean he must denounce Israel, and it could mean any thing in-between. Jews aren't some monolithic block. There are many differing views. So when Jerry Seinfeld or Michael Dell, or Scarlett Johansson get confronted by demonstrators because of their religion, it raises a lot of red flags for Jews in the US. And then when the demonstrations are being started on campus and begin to spread, it raises more red flags.

    As for everything being peaceful, I can only go by hearsay because I'm a little old for campus. What I can gather is that it is peaceful if you are thick skinned. Intimidation, chants like from the river to the sea, the Holocaust didn't exist, Jews kill Palestinian babies, are present. And such things wouldn't affect all Jews equally. Some may call that peaceful as long as there isn't spitting and pushing. Some may be scared. Some would rather celebrate Pesach than deal with a bunch of protests.

    And as you said people who engage in violence, threats, and intimidation, should be held accountable. This hasn't been happening, though. And things are getting out of hand in many places around the country and around the world. When mobs storm the airport terminal in Daghestani, shouting antisemitic slogans, chanting "Allahu Akbar" and running around asking staff where the "Jews" are, Jews around the world take notice. It has been seen before and it has rarely ended peacefully.

    Oh no! Not intimidation chants!

    I just can't imaging lamenting that my tax dollars are going to educating someone, or feeding someone, or providing them shelter, or taking care of their medical needs.  But I'm not a piece of shit, so I got that going for me...

    Yeah if the founding fathers wanted the general welfare of the nation to be taken care of, they would have put it in the constitution

    There are people 50 years old that don't recall the Kennedy's being overly relevant on a national level, so to me, this is a fair question.  It's great they are endorsing Biden and not the clown show brother/cousin/whatever, but does it move the needle in any sense?  No.  No one really gives a shit what these people think, nor should they.  

    Personally, and people's opinions of course will differ, but I'm well past being over the myth of the Kennedy's.  Sure they will always be part of history, but man o man has it become quite the fish tale for a lot of people and the truth about it fairly ugly.  

    I don’t think anyone who has decided that this guy gets their vote after his vaccine lunacy and conspiracy theories will be swayed by his family endorsing Biden

  9. Driving through Barton Hills to pick my pup up from the groomer and I saw like 4 Kennedy signs. Ok I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that that neighborhood has some kooky characters. But it does concern me a bit. Those were Biden voters in 2020. I have this sinking feeling Kennedy is going to swing it to that fucking guy. I hope I’m wrong

  10. Can our resident lawyers defend the decision not to hear McKesson v. Doe allowing the 5th Circuit decision to stand? Sounds like one more step towards fascism

    Abbott, Patrick the nuts in the Legislature are actively pushing legislation that works against the rural counties.  This is relatively new, and is in spite of Democrats shooting themselves in the foot. 

    THEY. DON’T. CARE

    Rural morons will still vote against their interests as long as there is an R next to the name. Cults and brainwashing have that effect
