1) I keep thinking about the insurrection that happened on January 6, 2021. I keep thinking as these people get arrested and released that it’s not enough. A first I wonder if I just wanted “revenge” on them, but I realized it’s not that at all. What I want is for something like
What’s being done to Claudine Gay & other university professors is a playbook called “wedging.”
1. Attack a target ruthlessly & put them on the defense.
2. Wait for them to say something you can cherry-pick to discredit them with.
3. Amplify the reaction to the target’s allies.
While I understand that some on the left might have wanted a more clear-cut response to that one question, in the context of the grilling they received, they were trapped.
But regardless of your opinion on these university presidents per se or their comments, it’s important to understand that by calling for their resignation based on a blatant smear operation, you are helping the destruction of our education system by people who want us stupid & desperate.
Take a look at the people fascists are suggesting to replace these brilliant women with. This is the hollowing out of our institutions of learning based on manufactured outrage.
@brat2381 That is my problem too many people are equating Palestine with Hamas. Pretending there one in the same so that they can show, I decided lack of sympathy towards Palestine.
@SashaBeauIoux You know I do apologize for the trauma you’re dealing with. You were rushing to a bomb shelter and I know people who personally died in the bombing. So it’s a sensitive topic for both of us. I’m just going to bow out of this discussion and pray your healing
@SashaBeauIoux Also, for the record, nobody and I mean, nobody sat there and said that Hamas victims don’t disservice sympathy. Perhaps you should think about why you’re jumping to absolutes
@SashaBeauIoux Just so you know, my friend’s , Aunt, and two little cousins died in Palestine due to a Israeli bombing. So it’s ridiculous to ME personally to sit there and say that her being pro Palestine means she’s anti Jewish.
@SashaBeauIoux I understand you don’t care about their deaths. , you’re not required too. But it’s cruel and mean as hell of you to sit there, and pretend like only one group of lives matter, only one group being bombed matter. Then claim is anti Jewish to think differently
@SashaBeauIoux No, actually you’re saying what you want to say which I don’t have a problem with. I just disagree with you. I’m not saying you shouldn’t say it. I’m just saying, I disagree.
Problems with Presley Dem loss in Mississippi: At least NINE Hinds County polls (which includes nearly 83%-Black Capital Jackson) ran out of ballots with thousands waiting to vote, and a circuit judge denied a request to keep polls open until 9 pm. https://t.co/E1erT10n6J
@SashaBeauIoux I will be honest, you know what your rhetoric me of when conservatives complain about the Black Lives Matter movement. Paints every single person with the same brush.
