While babies in Gaza are starving to death or are getting incinerated or buried under piles of rubble, American university presidents are complaining that “tents are violence”

@thomasfuchs Wow... the person using guns wants to give a lecture on using reason instead of force. 🤔

Got bad news for the etymology of the word "campus"

@thomasfuchs Etymology is fun and interesting but doesn't really tell you what words mean.

For example, this thing I'm wearing on the the upper half of my body, which has sleeves and a picture of Snoopy on it, is not a skirt.

@14mission what that person means is being offended by having to look at people that don’t have the same opinion about genocide than they do

@thomasfuchs About those students protesting in tents: when I was in college & graduate school (1960s to early 1970s) in anti-war student protests that "got out of hand", the students would occupy university buildings. If they had merely camped out on the lawn, an administration would have breathed a sigh of relieve. Why is the reaction so different now?

@bzdev Because of the sponsors and donors of the universities.
