Student activism is never perfect. You’ll always find some protestors who are ignorant or overzealous or narcissistic. They’re like 19 years old. But you also can’t wait for the perfect protest. It will never come.
I really do empathize with the difficult position of leftwing Jews who support the ceasefire but are also wounded by protestors saying ignorant or antisemitic shit like “Israelis go back to Europe.” The average US college student is probably not aware that most Israeli Jews are Mizrahi or Sephardi and not in any sense from Europe. They’re probably not aware of a lot of things, and sometimes their rhetoric is tonedeaf or worse. Those protestors should be educated and corrected.
But the central purpose of the protests is to address an urgent humanitarian crisis. Many students are bravely risking police violence to speak out. So obsessing over the occasional broken window or offensive slogan seems to me like a warped sense of priorities.
Fine, but then “children” under 25 also shouldn’t be able to marry, vote, enlist, consent to sex, work—in fact it’s probably safer to outlaw children altogether. Legalize cloning, and make sure to chain your clones up in the basement so they don’t get any notions.
Cold Take: The reason that Donna and Tom's "Treat yo' self" thing in "Parks and Rec" felt so good is because they were doing it for each other, not for themselves.
So "Treat yo' self" was really "treat yo' friend" which science shows is actually a better way to be happy.
