Reporting from the ground that one encampment member was taken out on a stretcher. Zionist attackers then threw their fireworks towards it.

Elsewhere...

At Columbia cops threw protestors down a flight of stairs, then denied access to EMS or medical help despite the fact that one was unconcious.

At Washington University St Louis, video has come out of police tackling and beating a professor for filming a police assualt. He's still in hospital multiple broken bones and in the video you can see the bicycle cop deliberately breaking his ribs while he's restrained on the ground.

Every EMS I've known has hated cops with a white hot vengeance. One paramedic I knew said if they saw a cop blocking their way to a scene ever again they'd just accelerate.

As for the professor, bold of the cops to antagonise the usually easy to appease haute intelligentsia.

Yup, most medical people that have to work with patients on the ground fuckin hate pigs

I know of one exception, an ex friend who was trying to get hired as a trainee cop after working as a licensed EMT for a little while. Comic book brained-ass individual

Liberals aren’t even pretending to care like they did in 2020.

Good, cleaving liberals from the left is absolutely necessary to move forward. This genocide, and the war in the donbas to a lesser extent, has been a good filter to get the imperialists to show their ass

It's not enough to draw lines between liberals and leftists. Ultimately we need to convince a lot of people (almost certainly a lot of now-liberals) to get on our side if we're going to accomplish anything.

I would make a distinction between soft liberals, who are generally left-leaning normies who just absorbed the ambient ideology around them, and the hardcore, "uhm acktually" neolibs who are as rabidly imperialist and anticommunist as any fascist. The latter should be treated the same as chuds

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

That's definitely a useful distinction, but I don't think you treat the latter group like chuds -- they're the ones who articulate that ambient ideology the former group nods along to. Dismiss or attack a group someone already disagrees with (chuds) and that group will give you broad latitude, or even cheer you on. Dismiss or attack the sacred cows of liberal spaces and those "soft liberals" will tell themselves that you didn't actually address what was said.
