Syun

Strange, he’s not Palestinian, he’s an Algerian citizen, and born in Syria. I could understand if someone else got it wrong, but he’s claiming this now?

He was living in Columbia student housing but wasn’t actually a student there, and that’s a situation I don’t really understand. I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason, but it does make one wonder why the school would let him just lead a massive protest on their campus if he’s not a student.

Putting all that aside, I’d say he’s got a point if it weren’t for the fact that the protests he led got violent against Jewish students and went well beyond the limits of the first amendment when it veered into harassment and threats and fisticuffs. I don’t say this lightly where this current administration is concerned, but it looks to me like this guy’s actually broken the law, and is now bending the truth about his origins to score points while trying to hide behind an amendment that doesn’t protect everything he was actually involved in. Which I don’t care for any more than I do Trump’s insanity, frankly.

It’s pleasantly surprising that they aren’t deep sixing the lifetime pass.

Yet.

This is gospel truth and people downvoting this are delusional.

The places with the fewest places to deposit one’s trash are always the ones with the most litter. Always.

If someone wants another person to adapt a behavior, from a purely practical standpoint, that person must make the other person’s job easier or it will simply not work to get them to adapt. If this wasn’t a forest (such as it is, it being the UK), the only proper thing to do would be to dump as much trash there as possible while demanding the bins back until they get the message and cave in. I could write a whole book here about how the packaging industry paid lobbyists and PR firms to put the blame on consumers for the useless crap they make existing in the first place, and shaming them into keeping it out of sight and thus out of mind. I won’t. But it’s a tale vile enough that it convinced me that there’s a time and a place for littering as protest. The woods aren’t the place.

Besides, there ARE receptacles that are critter resistant. This is an absolute cop out, and seeing how landscaped the area is, a couple of bins would hardly scar the landscape. This is pure crap. I looked the place up, and it’s NOT the kind of place where you deny people trash receptacles, nor is it the kind of place you can credibly base your argument on “we don’t want animals to get used to people”. Good lord, what a bunch of idiocy.

Green’s grandstanding doesn’t impress me much. The guy’s a rapist, and it takes almost nothing right now to look impressive compared to the rest of the democrats. There’s almost no chance of this getting off the ground right now, and zero chance of it going anywhere. The dems’ strategy of outreach while Trump burns everything to the ground will help them at the midterms in theory, but they don’t actually need to do the outreach for them to do better in the midterms and they’re probably alienating more people than they are poaching voters with their fecklessness.

Green choosing to become a creature of the press right now just tells me he’s looking at advancing himself, maybe in the midterms for Cornyn’s senate seat. Maybe a presidential run.

All that said, there’s a reasonable chance that dems will pick up 2 seats in the house in april and another one later this year. If so, they could impeach, but Trump will weather that just fine.

How unnecessary. Lab grown meat will fail to sell and be dropped from stores all on its own merits.

Me too! Yesterday was my first day here, and Nicole was the last thing I got before I went to bed.

Please do. It was a good idea for the US to ban TikTok due to Chinese security law, and of course the worst man on earth granted it a reprieve.

Also, when are you guys going to denaturalize Musk? He cheated on his US citizenship, so I hold out a shred of hope that after his rampage is ended and it all wraps up, we’ll revoke his citizenship as fraudulent and he’ll have to return to a failed state that’s following in Robert Mugabe’s anti-white race war footsteps. Can’t think of a better place on this earth for a Nazi to belong to.

Honestly, that sounds like a blessing in disguise.

I have a suspicion that I was followed by a mod who banned me and accused me of “throwing a tantrum” and muting me from contacting him again when I asked him to justify his ban for “promoting violence” when I very plainly hadn’t. I kept getting bans for the same thing across various other subs for similar non promotion of violence, rather laughing about the idea of a politician possessed by the ghost of GG Allin ruining their life with antics, and for harrassment for some post that wasn’t even deleted when I got my ban, so I have no idea what it even was.

No time for that kind of nonsense. The “you’re in trouble for liking the wrong comments” step is the final step into full mean girl pettiness. Reddit has become an HOA.

A sex abuser who’s going above and beyond the rest of his party by doing the bare minimum? No, there should be no rallying around that.
