PROTESTER #2: “I wish I was more educated.”

Hey, if he was more educated, he would had World History instead of Transgender and Gay Liberation History...🤓

And government run schools can't have educated students..they need to be dumb...

40% or less at any given Hamas college riot are student - all the others are adults from somewhere else.

I find it hard to beleive that they don’t know that the protest is about Jew-Hatred- just as I’d find it hard to beleive that students who joined protests calling for the eradication of black people back in the day.

They hear the hateful chants of the hate-filled palestinians, and they readily join in on the chants. One can’t say that “Israel should be exterminated” and not know that to go along is to declare their own hateful antisemetic feelings. The rage on their faces as they scream the hate rhetoric tells it all.

They may not know why hamas is engaged in their pathetic campaign of taquiya, but they know full well the hate speech that they are spouting.

[[ It explains a great deal. That, among other things, people do and say things in a crowd that they would never say or do, individually]]

Yes, their inner biases, their inner hatred, their inner racism comes to the surface when they are in a crowd because they know there is power in numbers, and if anyone objects or calls them out, they know 10-20 other hate-filled maggots will defend them. But alone, they would lose arguments bedause they couldn’t scream loud enough to drown out the truth

Reminds me of the old Li’l Abner comic strip from 1968 in which the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (S.W.I.N.E.) take over the campus.
The terrified University Regents decide to sell the University! The only buyers were the Mafia who brings in the mob enforcers.
Here come the SWINE protesting!
I still get a thrill remembering how the leader of the S.W.I.N.E. used his front teeth to assault the brass knuckles of the mob enforcers. Who says brass won’t make a spark! These did. Big ones at that!
Anyone else remember that old comic strip? Could easily be reprinted today with no changes.

“But if other people think there should be a protest on the NYU campus, she’s “pretty sure they are” doing it for a good reason. Hers not to reason why, hers but to scream and cry.”

A wonderfully descriptive two sentences.

Thanks for mentioning Canetti - haven’t read him for many years now. Will have to dig up some of his works from the pile.

Crowds and Power is available online as a PDF by the way, just for general information.

Nothing more need be said.

Except that every one of them will reliably vote Democommie for the rest of their miserable lives.

Sometime ago I saw a video on youtube where a man was asking people to sign a petition to eliminate woman’s suffrage. Most people would sign it but once in a while someone actually knew what it meant and would not sign it and started arguing with the man. So yes most people go along with the crowd.

You want women to suffer? Time to teach the English/American language in school.
