please at least make it to around the 50 second mark in the video where it gets absolutely more insane than you could possibly imagine

the NYPD just posted a highly edited propaganda video, complete with an over-the-top dramatic cinematic score, about their raid on Columbia last night

it has to be seen to be believed

Couple this with the decades long elite capture of institutional powers, and the purging of democratic and institutional memory and knowledge from those institutions and A heightened red team, blue team, political dynamic have build a factional and increasingly hostile population

Sociologists here: most Americans were bombarded with Necro, political, and anti-empathy propaganda for four years in an effort to downplay Covid, and that built a strong constellation of authoritarian traits within many individuals and institutional powers.

why is this not more terrifying to people

FREE PALESTINE, NO MASTERS Biden is so on-board with the genocide, he has decided it's worth losing the election to Trump. That should tell us everything. This genocide is political poison, but he believes in it like he believes in literally nothing else.

For some odd reason, the people NOT engaged in active resistance think they understand how dire things are, they know better than those protesting

It’s the opposite, actually.

Current events show genocide & police repression is THE agenda. Period(.)

Complacency isn’t safety

Biden is not “caving” to Netanyahu, folks. Reality is worse than folks accept

Can a sociologist help me understand why Americans won’t accept the obvious reality that Biden is 100% on board with genocide & no one in government is going to protect us from fascism because they are the fascism

“It could get worse. I’m worried it will get worse.”

It absolutely will get worse— the people in control already told us & have shown us that nothing will change!

Again, what are we talking about??

We are not safe & our interests aren’t represented by any of the people currently in power

This is the uncomfortable reality many refuse to sit with & digest

UCLA faculty are in the encampment, prepared to be arrested in order to protect students.

I’ve been released & am at the hospital to be checked out for injuries. A cop grabbed my dress & ripped it half off my body, injuring my arm. Another put his hands around my throat from behind to get me on the ground.

People protesting against fascism can’t be a problem for you unless you’ve already capitulated to fascism— 🤷🏾‍♀️

(We went over this during the Trump years & the establishment’s fake “Antifa” panic)

—But fact is a lot of self-id’d “liberals” & persons “of color” have done just that

Also keep in mind,

during all this handwringing over broken windows at billion-dollar endowment campuses,

that cops can legally break or even shoot through the windows of our homes or cars at any given time

even if it’s by mistake or the wrong car or house

3/3

Clearly there are countless circumstances where breaking windows is allowable, legal or essential

so the conflict is not about broken windows but about white capitalist-owned property being granted more legal protection than any human beings

2/

Morality is determined by motives, not just behaviors—

“It’s wrong to break windows & therefore this is wrong”

is an asinine attempt to focus on behaviors instead of examining motives or morality (we know why, of course)

1/

I am LOSING MY DAMN MIND
LAST NIGHT STUDENTS AT UCLA WERE BEING BRUTALLY ATTACKED BY A FASCIST MOB AND UCLA DID NOTHING
NOW THEYRE SETTING RIOT POLICE & SNIPERS ON PEACEFUL PROTESTORS
ALL SO THAT BABIES CAN CONTINUE TO BE MURDERED IN GAZW
SHAME SHAME SHAME

As someone who grew up in poverty in rural Appalachia & then went to Duke, Hopkins, and Emory, let me remind you that a lot of poor kids go to private schools bc they offer full financial aid. I guarantee you protesters are not “all trust fund babies.” Also s/o to class traitors.

but sure explain how graffiti in a school library ought to be the primary focus of our outrage
