Protests are fine.

Intimidation of groups of people is dead fucking wrong.  fuck you and anyone who allows situations like Cooper Union, the literal harassing intimidation of others.

And NO there is not evidence I have seen that harassing intimidation happened at UT yesterday.

This is correct. None of that shit happened on campus yesterday. Therefore, the overwhelming and thuggish response by DPS was completely fucking unnecessary. Everything else is peripheral, so stop bringing that shit up.

What the cops did yesterday turned this whole thing from a pro-Palestinian protest into something that strikes at the core of what it means to be an American: the violent suppression of Free Speech by the State.

Jews being chased through campuses is not a trivial issue.  You should be embarrassed taking the position, "stop bringing that shit up".   What the fuck is wrong with you?

I know this in poor taste, but that would be funny in a Kramer getting shitcanned kinda way.

"Coach Joseph.  With regard to yesterday's events...you're being let go." 

-But I had nothing to do with it.  How can you fire me?  I was looking at passing game tape while the whole protest thing took place!

"I know you were.  And that's what makes this so difficult."

Does this include the Fox7 cameraman who tripped into or was shoved into a cop?

Because this was posted in the other thread earlier this morning.

I didn't say it was trivial. I said it was peripheral to what happened yesterday. And, to my knowledge, the extreme harassment you keep talking about that has happened elsewhere hasn't happened on the UT campus. I can cite an instance of a pro-Palestinian protestor getting stabbed in West Campus a couple of months ago, though, if you're interested.

I used to chase a few Jewish kids around at my school growing up.  I am not proud of it.  I was a horrible soccer player/slow as shit in track.

I guess you are actually stupid enough to think yesterday at UT happened in a vacuum.

My god, how slow were you that you couldn't catch up to the non-existent Jewish members of the Track & Field team?  ;)  (I say this as a slow jew myself, but I'm still pretty quick in the pool.  Not Spitz fast, but not bad for my age group)

He was my friend, dickhead.  The point you easily missed was how things could be misconstrued because it fits an agenda.  Just as you tried to conflate something that happened somewhere else with something else.    UT's pro-Palestinian protest was a MODEL protest.   Unlike some of the others happening elsewhere or other incidents where people were harmed, threatened, and harassed, that is of course, until the republican's goon squad showed up.

Nowhere did I say the UT protest yesterday was antisemitism.   I've been abundantly clear.  Jokes about chasing Jews aren't fucking funny.

You're just saying it repeatedly and insistently in a thread about the protests yesterday, while the governor and senator that are creaming their khakis over beating up protesters are claiming that they sent in the goons because of antisemitism.

 

I'm not a fucking idiot, dude. It's pretty transparent the line you're towing.

He’s fucking admitted none of his bullshit has anything to do with the protest at UT, in a thread about the protest at UT 

Of course Blacklab and the aggy will ignore the obvious threadshitting

No, this wasn't on a track team, just PE and recess (elementary school).   Reading Diary of A Wimpy Kid books to my kids, I realized I identified with the protagonist a bit too much at times.

is there another thread with just details and none of the commentary? how many were arrested?  and for what?  how many participants were there?

It's absolutely shameful and revealing to your character that you think being anti-fascism is an insult.

I’d probably ask for my username to be changed to that. Badge of pride being on the side of the anti-fascists 

Also Captain Antifa and the Leftists = killer band name. Modern day RATM

It's revealing of your character that you think its ok to chase Jewish people around Columbia University chanting about their extermination and repeatedly attempt to burn down Federal Courthouses with hundreds of federal employees inside.

Anti-Fascist=Supporters of Fascist Joe Biden and against Authoritarian Donald Trump

Pro-Free Speech on College Campuses=Opposed to peaceful protests held by students who pay tuition to be on that campus

Anti-Communist=Russia isn't so bad, Putin is a misunderstood genius, as is President Xi and Kim Jung-Un (both socialists)

Anti-Authoritarian State=let the state beat people and arrest them for no reason except in certain exceptions where it's just tourists or FBI fake actors getting lost on the way to the gift shop. 

 

You live long enough, you see everything turned on its head.  This is a horrible black eye on the University.  

Incredulity, surely you are aware that you are engaging in classic thread shitting?

I'll gladly depart.

My initial response was to a minimization of, "threatening chants".  

 

Enjoy the thread.

There's a clear precedent: DT is for news, CR is for discussion. This event isn't producing updates as fast paced as Gaza or Ukraine but it's bringing the hot takes out of CR at the same rate.

Yeah, lots of opinions on Jay on this thread.  I'll check my bias at this time.  But there is obviously going to have to be some fall guy for this.  UTPD Chief Stephens may be an obvious choice, but she simply did what they've been doing for a long while at campus protests.

I move that we make David Pierce the fall guy.

Man it's definitely bizarro land watching all the obedience worshipers run afoul of their Khazarian overlords.

Of course genocide is bad and everyone should stand up against it but the control structure who created the obedience worshiping cult are the purveyors of the genocide and they don't like dissent.

Hopefully this causes more people to join the resistance class but only time will tell.  I'm sure we will have some manufactured false flag event to scare everyone back into line.

TexasTribune has some new reporting on the fallout

Notable things from the journalism:

  • At least 57 people, including one journalist, were arrested yesterday
  • UT Faculty Counsel Executive Committee this morning said they are "gravely alarmed" by yesterday's reaction and accused Hartzell of inviting DPS onto campus
  • A number of professors have made classes optional today
  • Protests are planned to resume at the Tower today at 12:15

As we get more into discussion and unpacking whatever the fuck happened yesterday, I think it's useful to remember what past intellectuals have written about fascism. Umberto Eco grew up under Mussolini's fascist regime, and really nicely distilled the idea of "Ur-Fascism" and its common "features".

Quote
  1. The cult of tra­di­tion. “One has only to look at the syl­labus of every fas­cist move­ment to find the major tra­di­tion­al­ist thinkers. The Nazi gno­sis was nour­ished by tra­di­tion­al­ist, syn­cretis­tic, occult ele­ments.”
  2. The rejec­tion of mod­ernism. “The Enlight­en­ment, the Age of Rea­son, is seen as the begin­ning of mod­ern deprav­i­ty. In this sense Ur-Fas­cism can be defined as irra­tional­ism.”
  3. The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beau­ti­ful in itself, it must be tak­en before, or with­out, any pre­vi­ous reflec­tion. Think­ing is a form of emas­cu­la­tion.”
  4. Dis­agree­ment is trea­son. “The crit­i­cal spir­it makes dis­tinc­tions, and to dis­tin­guish is a sign of mod­ernism. In mod­ern cul­ture the sci­en­tif­ic com­mu­ni­ty prais­es dis­agree­ment as a way to improve knowl­edge.”
  5. Fear of dif­fer­ence. “The first appeal of a fas­cist or pre­ma­ture­ly fas­cist move­ment is an appeal against the intrud­ers. Thus Ur-Fas­cism is racist by def­i­n­i­tion.”
  6. Appeal to social frus­tra­tion. “One of the most typ­i­cal fea­tures of the his­tor­i­cal fas­cism was the appeal to a frus­trat­ed mid­dle class, a class suf­fer­ing from an eco­nom­ic cri­sis or feel­ings of polit­i­cal humil­i­a­tion, and fright­ened by the pres­sure of low­er social groups.”
  7. The obses­sion with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fas­cist psy­chol­o­gy there is the obses­sion with a plot, pos­si­bly an inter­na­tion­al one. The fol­low­ers must feel besieged.”
  8. The ene­my is both strong and weak. “By a con­tin­u­ous shift­ing of rhetor­i­cal focus, the ene­mies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
  9. Paci­fism is traf­fick­ing with the ene­my. “For Ur-Fas­cism there is no strug­gle for life but, rather, life is lived for strug­gle.”
  10. Con­tempt for the weak. “Elit­ism is a typ­i­cal aspect of any reac­tionary ide­ol­o­gy.”
  11. Every­body is edu­cat­ed to become a hero. “In Ur-Fas­cist ide­ol­o­gy, hero­ism is the norm. This cult of hero­ism is strict­ly linked with the cult of death.”
  12. Machis­mo and weapon­ry. “Machis­mo implies both dis­dain for women and intol­er­ance and con­dem­na­tion of non­stan­dard sex­u­al habits, from chasti­ty to homo­sex­u­al­i­ty.”
  13. Selec­tive pop­ulism. “There is in our future a TV or Inter­net pop­ulism, in which the emo­tion­al response of a select­ed group of cit­i­zens can be pre­sent­ed and accept­ed as the Voice of the Peo­ple.”
  14. Ur-Fas­cism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fas­cist school­books made use of an impov­er­ished vocab­u­lary, and an ele­men­tary syn­tax, in order to lim­it the instru­ments for com­plex and crit­i­cal rea­son­ing.”

It is deeply upsetting how many of these features can be seen in abbott's abuse and response since yesterday. And also upsetting to see features in other posters.
