@StillIRise1963 And don't forget COINTELPRO and how the FBI infiltrated the civil rights movement and Vietnam War protests. Oh,and let's not forget how the media condoned and egged on the anti-Japanese and anti-Mexican racism during WWII: the internment camps and the Zoot Suit Riots in LA.
@jeremy_pm@StillIRise1963 Which is exactly what is occurring at USC. And why LAPD aggressively attacked the protesters in order to keep the violence from spilling off-campus into South Central LA and Mid-City. Areas where people are still angry at the police from 1992.
@jeremy_pm@IveyJanette@StillIRise1963 I'm pretty sure far right folks want to see repeat of 2020 riots & more activist beat downs by militarized cops. MSM wants riots too - they profit from divide/conquer violent politics. There's too many politicians who are uninterested in respecting the pillars of democracy & want to fuel their selfish fascist agendas.
You know it’s a complete scam when the antisemites come out to defend Israel from peaceful #StudentProtests of which many of the protestors are themselves Jewish.
@StillIRise1963
The same right wingers would be saying the same thing they said then as now. "outside agitators" "troublemakers"
"looking for a fight"
If Kent state happened today you'd get the same 50% blaming students. And it'd be 98% of Republicans.
It's not surprising, they're just taking after their daddies and mommies
@StillIRise1963 A lot of folks don't realize. They feel like this is a new phase, but this is a small (and relatively minor) piece of what black and brown folks have been getting since they were stolen and sold into slavery here.
It just seems new to a lot of us white folks cause we didn't get beatings, firehoses, trampled by horses, etc...
I hope it wakes us up to be better colleagues in struggle this time.
@StillIRise1963 Yeah back then in the civil rights era and Vietnam supposedly it was the communists who were manipulating the protests. Now the Republicans are in bed with the communists so...new boogeymen are "antisemitic" terrorists.
@StillIRise1963 yup. And the politicians falling over themselves to claim King? The favorability of King when he was murdered was in the 30s. They hated him. The press demonized him. The US government hated him. There's reasonable evidence that the US government killed him.
@StillIRise1963 the King family absolutely believes it and won a lawsuit to that end.
He was turning his focus on the Vietnam War and how it wasn't a war grinding up Black soldiers, rather, it was grinding up poor soldiers.
That plus getting involved with a labor effort for wages in the under appreciated but crucial sanitation industry and, well... There's a lot of motive.
It seems like in any culture touched by any version of colonialism: old school is: might makes right (power over/dominator society) vs far more people -eventually- wanting and supporting collaborative nurturing societies (power with)
@RememberUsAlways@StillIRise1963@palestine@israel@ddg@QasimRashid 100 hostages? As compared to the hundred thousand killed for decades now, the genocide, displacement, and starvation of countless others? IDF soldiers are on video laughing about killing and raping the people they're invading. You know, the same genocidal crimes that those kidnappings are retaliation to?
Just say that you're a racist fascist. People like you deserve much much worse than being held hostage.
It's funny you play the Nazi card when the ethnostate you support is literally playing the same tricks as that Austrian fellow and his triumvirate of murderous losers did in the 1930's.
@RememberUsAlways@StillIRise1963@palestine@israel and according to your stupid fascist dumbass, I presume the people fighting back against Nazi invasions were also just evil terrorists and supporting the Jews in concentration camps is the same as saying "hail Satan".
Your entire persona is meant to spreading fascist misinformation, and I'm hope you embrace what's coming to you.
