“I think part of the problem is young people aren’t having enough sex so they go on the hunt for fake threats and the most popular threat through history is [antisemitism].”

Galloway said American society would not survive if its people could not rally behind noble causes — adding that much of what he was seeing reminded him of the early rise of Hitler.

“It’s easy to poke fun at these kids, but history has a way of repeating itself, and this is how it starts. In ’30s Germany, a progressive community, a thriving gay community, excellent academic institutions. And how it started, was it was fashionable to wear a brown shirt and mock students at the University of Vienna,’ Galloway said.

Galloway repeated his observation which went viral this week that if students at terrorist encampments were chanting slogans calling for the death of black or gays they would be swiftly stamped out.

And that professors who did so would never work again.

Sounds like the words of someone who has never been to a protest. One of the best part of protests is the high chance of meeting someone during the protest that will lead to life-long friends and possibly even sex.

Of course it's from the New York Post. Who the hell reads this garbage?

All the rags have their bias, but they arguably have more boots on the ground then me so its worthwhile source. That you know their bias lets you unfilter their reporting. Kinda of how NYT has banned the word Palestine, but is still respected world over. This is an obvious garbage article but also shows you the depths these manipulators have to go to make this not about Israel. That they are trying everything and nothing is still connecting to the average joe is pretty telling.

This is the most selfawarewolf shit I've ever seen. Galloway mocks progressive students, then comments how mocking progressive students is just like the Brown Shirts.

It's worth mentioning that Galloway routinely describes himself as "an attention-seeking whore".

Why bring it up? It seems relevant if you're deciding how much of your own energy to spend discussing this.

Maybe if he was getting more sex…

"Baby, that was amazing! I feel completely different about 110,000+ dead and wounded Palestinians. Turns out I wasn't morally conflicted about my country's involvement or where taxes are going, just horny."

I think we have a nominee for dumbest take of the century. The author, Jon Levine, can go f himself.

On that note, how many prostitutes could you hire on a college campus for the cash saved by firing a bunch of full time cops and security personnel?

Cuz clearly this would be a much better approach at solving the root of the problem

And if my grandmother had wheels and could lift up to 5000 pounds, she’d be a Toyota 3-Wheel Electric Forklift.

If that was your grandmother, I was inside her today.

…You were inside a dead person? 🤨

I was in something that could lift up to 5000 pounds and had 3 wheels.
