There are aggressive and violent protests all over the place by the pro palestine crowds EVERYWHERE. They took over halls and other academic buildings, along with many outdoor spaces. They have been all over the news all over the place ever since October 7. The number of those protest absolutely dwarfs the number of pro israel protests and it's not even close. Also, these protests were happening starting October 8 which means they weren't a reaction to the Israel counteroffensive. They were in support of what Hamas did. Anybody who supported that is a reprehensible human being who has no place in civilized society. The hypocrisy is unreal. Personally I don't support either side. Both do horrible things and I wish the west would just stay out of it completely. Did you have the same condemnation for BLM who actually added a paratrooper to their logo? That's direct, unequivocal support of atrocities on completely innocent people. If you condemn both sides of this, then good on you. If you don't, and you're choosing to support the terrorist side and only condemning the bad things Israel did, then there are no words....

6:55 GTFO. How was the university on Covid protest? And you just said they created an apartment for affirmative action, which is literally racism by definition. This is intolerance. It's a tolerance only for your own ideology. It's hypocritical. If suddenly there was a large MAGA protest, there's not a chance that it would be treated the same as a protest against MAGA. It's astonishing to me that the left still thinks it is the side that has more tolerance. 20 years ago it did. Not anymore, by any measure.

You're only noticing now? The left destroyed free speech many years ago. Please tell me you didn't go through the Covid years and not saying that free-speech was already dead and buried.

Yup. It's like Oct 7 never happened. People put their heads in the sand about it because "hIStorY dIDn'T stARt OcT 7Th!"

Tulsi Gabbard does. Rand Paul does. RFK Jr is the most righteous of them all. Spent his career as an environmental lawyer and does what he feels in his heart is right even if his own family disowns him for it. I don't agree with all of his policies, but I think he's by far the best "human being" in politics right now. Tulsi is a close second.

Trump is further left than Biden/Harris. Listen to the RFK speech at his rally. It was all about making sure that food is safe for children, and that American labour is strongly represented. I'm not joking, the speech he gave that Trump endorsed was way further left than who he is up against.

The left abandoned that a LONG time ago. You only ever hear that out of conservatives now because they are the true side of tolerance. Things have flipped.
