"There are leaflets on how to protest leaflets or how to commit civil disobedience. There are leaflets on what to do when you get arrested, leaflets on what to say to police," Daughtry explained.

He reiterated: "There is somebody funding this. There is somebody radicalizing our students."

It's absolutely ridiculous being on the inside seeing the effort it takes to scrape together a few hundred bucks for signs and tents, then turning around and seeing the frat boy flag rager & zionist thug crowdfunds get like half a mil, then turn around again and see this. Like holy fuck, yes there are leaflets! Some students came together, broke themselves into subgroups to think about logistics, defense, food, etc., then developed plans and executed them! This is like a few hours of work on a weekday night, it doesn't need to be financed by some giant foreign conspiracy. God damn.

Treating students like they're 1400s peasants

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 6 months ago

More like 1500-1700. 1400's weren't worst time for peasants in Europe, it was still rebulding after the Black Death, people were more scarce than land, leading to massive internal colonisation efforts where peasants could get lawfully protected privileges and own their land. This was also before religious wars (except Hussite) and serfdom was fairly rare and less awful compared to later.

We're at two minutes to midnight on "Antizionism is a Jewish conspiracy"

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They can't blame the jews so it's gonna be russia, china or iran. Or vaguely all three. They're just trying to float it out there and see what people come up with. Eventually they'll settle on something.

Russia

Okay but how long till someone says "Judeo-Bolshevism"?

I'm reminded of the phrase I saw someone on 4chan say: "Antisemitism is a Jewish trick." Never underestimate the potential for idiocy by rightists

the nefarious international terror network of middle class teenagers who own a printer and an internet connection is behind this

[-] Swoosegoose@hexbear.net 52 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They don't even need to own a printer they could have gone to the NYU library to print

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 46 points 6 months ago

Students in university having access to printers?! No, the logical conclusion is that this an international conspiracy to bring about the fall of western civilization pepe-silvia

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

Hopefully not. Printing from the library associates your print jobs with your student id number and has been used in the past as evidence to make arrests. But still very plausible.

Who's buying a printer in 2024? It must be the dastardly Ruzzians and their CCP handlers!

...There is somebody radicalizing our students.

Correct, it's the actions of the US government

the default state of existing in amerikkka is so atomized that it's suspicious if you get three people to work together

[-] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 27 points 6 months ago

I mean think about it, that has to easily be like 40 wks FTE of work, at say $500/hr, plus OT, weekend rate, overnight rate, travel, not to even mention all the equipment. That all must have easily cost $1M. And who has that kind of money? Russia. China. Soros. It all makes sense.

[-] screwthisdumbcrap@hexbear.net 85 points 6 months ago

Bruh you don't need to be Russian to print a leaflet.

This is the same country that said Haitians were behind every slave revolt. They can never admit that their own actions cause people to rise up.

Theyll never believe that the call was coming from inside the house the whole time!

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 53 points 6 months ago

Given that's it's fox news it'll be China and CNN will be blaming Russia while nobody is none the wiser over who the real culprit is soros

A few hours ago I read a ridiculous David Brooks article where he poked fun at the protests saying that modern decentralized movements are bad.

Then there’s the kind of movement we have in the age of the internet. Many of these protesters across the globe are suspicious of vertical lines of authority; they don’t want to be told what to do by self-appointed leaders. They prefer leaderless, decentralized, digitally coordinated crowds, in which participants get to improvise their own thing.

This horizontal, anarchic method enables masses of people to mobilize quickly, even if they don’t know one another. It is, however, built on the shaky assumption that if lots of people turn out, then somehow the movement will magically meet its goals. Unfortunately, an unorganized, decentralized movement is going to be good at disruption but not good at building a new reality.
