American university students can protest for weeks over Palestine, but don’t show up when their own country is taken over by a fascist.

Some are literally unable to due to being in jail for protesting that genocide.

American students should protest for as long as it takes to end a genocide.

The current fascist is a direct result of previous fascists. Genocide normalizes fascism.

This liberal support for genocide and fascism is a major part of the problem.

You do yourself and any potential ally a disservice when you spout negative bullshit like this. And it is bullshit because what you're saying is nonsensical and fucking being upvoted (come on lemmy, we're better than this).

What do pro-Palestinian student protesters at US universities want?

They are demanding that their schools, many with massive endowments, financially divest from Israel.

What is the effective message of protesting at a university over Trump? People have been organizing protests, but what part are you demanding the students actually protest? Just... protest Trump in general? at the University? Protesting till he's taken out of office or some action is performed?

I honestly want to see the rest of the government make a choice of bowing or standing up to the would-be king before we call to send in the children. Let us know where everyone in the system stands because once Uni kids get involved with mass protesting.... it's gonna get dicey real fast.

I really hope the unwarranted attacks that everyone is spewing at each other is statistically on the decline, it really needs to be shot down the instant it's seen so we don't have actual trolls and bots getting footholds.

They got beaten, jailed and expelled from their uni for protesting over Palestine by the previous fascist who was hoping to draw more of the fascist vote than the current fascist.

Lmao look at all the downvotes you got for being right. If a Democrat was in power right now and did the exact same things that Trump is doing right now, the liberals that are (rightfully) criticising Trump so much would defend the Democrat with their lives.

Absolutely not. The amount of criticism that Biden got you will never see by conservatives about their leader. Their leader wanted to inject bleach and nuke hurricanes and you never heard a pip. Democrats are far more ready to criticize bullshit from their people in power and support alternatives. See Bernie Sanders.

this is the logic i disagree with. We don't let people do skeevy shit because they are "our team"
