The pacing of the new celeb Amazing Race feels so slow. Watching them walk around, loitering. Where’s the grit, the determination, the stakes? #AmazingRaceAU

This is why that won't work

Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/

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.
