an increase in the use of force against Palestine may happen
It may also happen under Kamala.
All of this "Kamala might be better than Biden or Trump on genocide" is purely based on vibes and not based on anything she's ever done or said.
Dawg they're wiping out Palestine now, under a Democrat. Acting like there's any daylight between Trump and Kamala in terms of what they actually do is just liberal cope.
Painting a rainbow on the side of the bomb doesn't make it any less of a bomb.
Excuse the overdramatization, but it feels a lot like Frodo going to the Grey Havens. They did something great and now their reward is to disappear forever and be well taken care of.
Berkeley has had an encampment on campus since April 22nd and hasn't sent in the cops.
As always, with protests like this, the violence always begins with cops.
Israel already did their strike, and it actually had casualties!
Iran's strike was the symbolic one.
It's a top down problem. The universities didn't invent it. For years, candidates have campaigned on "lrn2code" so much so that we make fun of it here. They weren't saying that to bring new perspectives or art to the discipline. They were saying it because tech jobs have basically become the only path to the middle class. Small wonder, then that enrollment situations are what they are.
I graduated from UC Berkeley's College of Engineering with a CS degree right as the recession hit. Even then, I could see the demographics of my classmates trending away from your typical nerds who just like being on the computer into guys who were just after a paycheck.
Point being, like everything, this is a systemic issue. Give people one path out and they'll take it. The US economy is basically just giant business conglomerates and tech companies. Myopic capitalism has led us to this.
I went to a bar in Ghent and the bartender told me that British students would constantly wreck themselves because they wouldn't adapt their drinking culture to Belgium's.
However, in true Belgian fashion, I think the thing that bothered him the most (even more than the vomiting) was that they'd order round after round of the same beer, which would exhaust his supply of the appropriate glassware.
The US was considered reliable because, until Trump, both parties had identical foreign policy.
And yet the reporting on this protest is how I heard about the drilling leases.
Think globally. Act locally.
Can you imagine an American grocery store chain letting its cashiers sit down?
the absolute state of the Anglo "left"
