REPORT: 99% of pro-Palestine protests at US colleges have been peaceful, despite remarks from Biden & other politicians calling such demonstrations as violent.
@QasimRashid that is very true. Remember when the Nazi regime in South Africa was supported by the US government, students protested and these students were denigrated and accused of being communists. While mainstream white Americans said what can be done, it is not our people being killed, and so on. They did it then to Africans and today they do it to Palestinians. That is why the US deserves its horrible politicians who will soon be doing to US citizens what their government did to others
@QasimRashid apprently erecting tents on university grounds is «violence». A lot of opponents to the protests think that there is only a very specific form of non-disruptive protest that is permissible.
@Xergg I hope that someday, when you're not a child anymore, you're able to look back on these posts casually dehumanizing an entire nation and calling for violence and brutality on peaceful protesters, and appreciate how much you've grown and matured since then.
Right now, though, this is cringe. You shouldn't be proud of this.
@QasimRashid To the systems in power, it doesn’t matter if a protest to change the status quo for the better is violent or not; they treat you as if it was. And violence doesn’t necessarily make one’s cause less righteous if done so in response to systemic violence.
