The far right has portrayed universities as “hotbeds of terrorist sympathizers” and “wokeness” that threaten core “American values” like freedom of speech. In far-right propaganda, universities are the dystopian future of the whole country, where women, non-whites and LGBTQ+ people oppress “real Americans”, ie white, Christian conservatives. And their propaganda has paid off. When Donald Trump launched his campaign, the public image of universities in the US was already not in great shape.


The truth hurts

Because, for anybody who has read animal farm, know that inculcating socialism into children is the key to making society socialist.

The commie wacko Guardian lives up to it’s reputation again. Brits are some of the worst anti-semites. It is rampant in perfidious Albion.

..unintended consequences of stolen elections, the beneficiaries of which have resorted to fascist terror to attempt to put off or prevent the inevitable rising in their faces

“”Across the world people have been shocked by social media footage of heavily armed law enforcement officers arresting peacefully protesting students and professors at university campuses around the United States.””

Balderdash - garbage...there weren’t any signs of HEAVILY ARMED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS until Tuesday evening on any US campus. Do they write this stuff in advance?

Add - there still isn’t law enforcement on the campuses where it’s needed - maybe LAPD will crank up before the end of the day at UCLA....

Hey, Communist Guardian:

Why do these terrorists and terrorist sympathizers even bother to have these protests at the colleges, where the administration and faculty mostly agree with them anyway, but have no power to effect any change in government policy, domestically, much less in Israel?

Why don’t these stupid malcontents go and protest where their fury could actually get to the people who make the decisions?

Why don’t they go to D.C. and protest at the White House and the Capitol and the Pentagon? Why don’t they go and protest at the homes of Senators and Representatives? Why don’t they go on weekends to Delaware and protest at Biden’s homes?

Why don’t they go and protest at the factories of the Military Industrial Complex, and protest at the homes of the M.I.C. CEOs?

And if they really believe in their ‘Cause’, why don’t they head to ‘Palestine’ enlist in Hamas, and pick up a rifle or strap on a bomb to actually fight ‘the evil Joos’?

How many of the protestors are outsiders not affiliated with the universities in question?

Cas Mudde clearly has an Agenda. Just look at what he has written on their website.

Yes. It is rightly called desecrating campuses and resisting arrest.

The guardian reporters need to stay hunkered down in their cubicles and continue to masturbate.

The Guardian is a major mouthpiece of fascist Marxism.

Soros probably writes this stuff himself.
