small? have you not been paying attention?

are you going to answer my question without deflecting? I clearly condemned both. Are you going to condemn the Zionists who are muddying the waters in order to shut down protests for the Palestinians who are currently being starved and bombed to death? Fuck your fragility

"Biden speaks on student protests"

didn't address the reason why they are protesting. basically just said violence and antisemitism bad. it gets kinda cut off but at the very end, but someone asks if the protests have changed his mind on policies pertaining to that region, and he said no. disappointed but not surprised

I feel that, it keeps getting harder to vote for him not that I'd want trump. I just can't imagine trump handling this situation any better, I think he'd only make things somehow worse. So either way, it's not looking good as if both weren't awful already

at best, the argument to vote for Biden is pretty much is that Biden is Diet Genocide and Trump is full-flavored Genocide.

this made me laugh unecessarily hard😭

 

I have very limited knowledge on what's happening right now. But at the end of the day, whatever your opinions, the police should be protecting the students, not harming them.

i've seen many videos of the protests and i'm glad that there are young people who are aware of the genocide in gaza (and they're calling this a genocide unlike the government!!!!!!!!!) and they're showing that they're all collectively against it but it's actually very sad that in the world of speech freedom, people (including journalists and medics) are being arrested just because they're protesting against the funding of the genocide

very brave of everyone involved, especially with the horrible violence by police and agitators. incredible respect to those in america for starting this trend! 

 

encampments have reached outside the US too, there is some in Europe I think switzerland, and there is one just started in ireland yesterday (in the face of students being fined 214 thousand for their previous protests)  https://www.rte.ie/news/2024/0503/1447322-trinity-closed/

so it's okay for someone to be rude to me and not get a warning? but not okay for me to be rude back and i get a warning? i haven't been on here in ages because it doesn't even seem worth it to come here if the rules aren't applying to everyone.

you must have missed the name calling they provided first, but I must have forgotten that calling someone a Nazi (for being pro Hamas who is a terrorist organization who's entire mission is the ethnic cleansing of Jews), and calling me a Zionist because I don't agree with the murder of Jews on October 7th???

I'm not here to argue tho. You can't warn one person for name calling, and not the other. If I was calling a white supremacist a Nazi, lets face it, I wouldn't get the warning point.

edit: i stepped away from lanaboards as to not keep getting irritated, i feel as though i did the right thing in that, so i'm not going to come into this thread and argue more. However, I will stand by me saying that it's not fair I got warned because, lets face it, it was a warning point based on bias. i love lanaboards and catching up on lana. I've been here a LONG time. but I should be allowed to express opinions without getting attacked, which i did, in that thread for my thoughts. Not fair that I was warned when no one else is warned for calling people names as well.
