Protests against Vietnam war destroyed far more shit. This is like the least shit destroying protest in history.
eloquently put /s/
Pointless vandalism is still pointless, but at least the antiwar protests in the US were by US citizens and were primarily about opposition to US involvement in a conflict US soldiers had no business being in because there were no US assets at stake.
These protesters have unrealistic expectations and goals. Just look at the divesting demands. Due to their age, very few of these college kids understand the reality of where the money they want divested is/going/coming from. Direct investments rarely reflect the full scope of a college's portfolio. Divest from Google, Apple, and Nike then but they won't ditch their smart phones or shoes.
I thought they would have learned about this stuff in college.
Funny how the divesting demands are working at several schools thus far, and funny how the violence and vandalism seem to only be happening at schools that decided to send the ~~jackbooted thugs~~ Police in to crack skulls and beat people for wrongthink.
Weird how you have completely omitted the polices typical escalation and unnecessary violence from your whinging and denigration of these "kids"
User name checks out because this isn't the flex you think it is.
Only one college, Evergreen State College, has "agreed" so far to divest any holdings linked with Israel. A few others, like Brown and Northwestern University, have simply said that they will disclose their investment exposure to Israel at a later time.
And Evergreen's memorandum that was released by the school simply stated that the student encampment will end in exchange for the school looking into its investments and possibly divesting from Israel. ONCE MORE: Looking into & possibly divesting
These are what they call stall tactics.
And stop pretending the protestors didn't spray paint free gaza, free palestine and intifada this and that all over the walls in the library. That's pointless vandalism, not protesting.
