Mayor Adams said Students are being Radicalized

I believe he is right, and it has been going on for years. We are now seeing
the results. He also said, " The violent spectacles on campus, have no purpose"

Again I agree with the NYC Mayor.

When will people understand that Universities are supposed to teach things?

Not radicalize?
Is it as much radicalization as in the case of these campus protests nationwide, as it is really about outside agitators?
Reports said a large number of protesters either detained or arrested were not students.
@Northwest Yes, every civil rights movement has had some violence. It's bad, I condemn it, but it shouldn't be the focus. The only reason the media is making it the focus is because they don't want to talk about Israel's apartheid and genocide.

@BohemianBoo What source are you looking for Boo Boo, you are all over the
place. I hear that it's hard to focus when you are busy having sex with any man or
woman that will have you, but you have to try and stay on point. Are you getting
regular aids tests?

Unfortunately that's not true. The final destruction of Israel is their purpose 😕

@helenS Great analogy Helen. I say the same thing. Palestinians had everything
they asked for, short of the Jews vacating Israel. Israel took care of their needs, but
they used 99% of the resources to wage war, instead of helping their own people.

I read that they tore up all the irrigation pipes that watered their fields, in order to
build launch stations for their missiles. How much do you have to hate your own
people, in order to give up your food supply to wage war against a fictitious enemy?

If you look at the pictures of their launch stations, you can tell they came from
irrigation fields.

@DogMan The most important thing for Israel to do is destroying the terror tunnels. To destroy tunnels on the ground, Israeli troops in Gaza will need to find entrances that are often hidden in the basements of civilian buildings, hospitals, schools, kindergardens.
Israel should never have left Gaza.
@NoGamesTolerated And if you think that this would end with wiping Israel off the map, then you truly don’t understand Islam…
Straight from Mao’s play book.. go after the kids, give them free reign on chaos…

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I never thought of that. Mao did incite a whole generation of kids to upend Chinese society in the Cultural Revolution in 1966. Then the students erupted again in 1989 Tianamen Square.
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@sree251

The Cultural Revolution lasted about 10 years.

The Tiananmen Square "eruption" lasted less than 2 months before it was brutally suppressed.

Not much student "erupting" in China since then. 🙄
Communist indoctrination at US colleges & universities isn't new. From 1963...US communist goal #17

@sree251 yes...it's been happening for decades, very slowly, so the public wouldn't notice until it was too late. Both political parties, democrats and republicans have been infiltrated...exactly why both parties despise Trump. Hillary was supposed to win in 2016...and complete the plan Obama started, over the course of two terms. Remember Obama's catch phrase of "fundamentally transforming America." Notice how he never said what America would tranform into? Trump's election in 2016 threw a monkey wrench into their plan...this is why Biden's first term has been so insane, and why the 2020 election was marred with so many irregularities indicating fraud. Commies are trying to make up for lost time.

The good news...all hope is not lost.

Yeah, let's call them commies. Snowdon fled when he realized to his horror the stuff he was working on "to protect America". The NSA intelligence gathering apparatus has facilities all over the world including the Data Center in Utah. All paid for by American taxpayers. We are being milked to put ourselves in chains.

@Thinkerbell [quote]I see you like to call all totalitarians fascists, to make believe that left-wingers can't be totalitarians.[/quote]

Leftism is about spreading power throughout society. It's why Socialism requires democratic government.
So yes, Leftists can't be Totalitarians. Tankies are right-wing, they just use left-wing imagery. Take away the imagery from Stalinism and you just have Fascism.

[quote]In Europe, fascism was in large part a reaction against communism (as practiced), so you can thank your friend Marx for that.[/quote]

😣

Do you know anything?!!!! No, Fascism in Europe wasn't a reaction to Communism. Fascism was a reaction to the material conditions people were suffering from after the first world war, combined with very longstanding racism and conspiracy theories about Jews and LGBT. Like the modern Right, the European Fascists were repackaging old conspiracy theories to scare people into following them, as well as having a scapegoat for the failures of Capitalism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Bolshevism

Basically, Fashies repackaged earlier conspiracies about the Jews, this time making it about how the Jews were using queer degeneracy to turn everyone into Marxists. They were fear-mongering over a fake version of Marxism that in no way reflected Marx's politics.
Sure, a lot of Europeans were afraid of the Soviet Union invading, that played a role just like WWI played a role, but the ideology they were reacting to wasn't real, it was just your Nazis' propaganda.

[quote]Wrong again, Boo-Boo. I have often pointed out on SW that I never voted for Trump. In 2016, as well as in 2020, I left the presidential line on my ballot blank, to indicate that both of the major candidates were unacceptable.[/quote]

Trumpism is bigger than Trump. Trumpism is the modern version of Fascism that the Republican Party has embraced. DeSantis, who I'd argue is even more dangerous, is also doing Trumpism.

[quote]You would have surely been in that communist crowd in Germany in 1927... after all, they were fighting fascism; that's all you would have needed to join them.[/quote]

I don't read your boomer-ass cringe poems, I just assume it's more mommy issues. I do think that picture is pretty cool, though. Interesting how you see it as a negative that they were fighting Fascism. What are you trying to tell us?

Yeah, right, Boo-Boo... there was never a lefty who was ambitious, hungry for power or cruel. Every one of them has been the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 🤣 🤣 🤣

[quote]"Fascism in Europe wasn't a reaction to Communism."[/quote]

Of course it was, Boo-Boo; the Russian revolution sent shock waves through Europe.

[quote]"Sure, a lot of Europeans were afraid of the Soviet Union invading, that played a role just like WWI played a role, but the ideology they were reacting to wasn't real, it was just your Nazis' propaganda."[/quote]

Utter nonsense. The depredations going on in the Soviet Union were real, as you yourself implied a couple of comments back when you admitted that they were totalitarians.

[quote]"Trumpism is the modern version of Fascism that the Republican Party has embraced."[/quote]

Wrong again, Boo-Boo. I'll worry about Trumpism being fascism when I see Trump or Desantis reviewing tens of thousands of jackbooted storm troopers marching by.

[quote]"I don't read your boomer-ass cringe poems, I just assume it's more mommy issues.[/quote]

If you don't read them, it's because they strike too close to the
truth of you in your mommy's basement. 🤣 🤣 🤣

[quote]" I do think that picture is pretty cool, though. Interesting how you see it as a negative that they were fighting Fascism."[/quote]

You just got through saying up above that Soviet communism was itself fascism, so how could the German communists have been fighting fascism? They were beholden for support from the USSR, and would surely have formed the same kind of government, had they prevailed.

Oh, and below, for your delectation, is another cool picture from the 1927 Berlin rally of the KPD. This one shows a special section that seems to have been set aside for the Rotfront street fighters. Those goons at the lower right scowling at the camera look like a pretty rough bunch.
I hope for your sake that in your previous life there you didn't try joining them... they would have made short work of a soyboy like you. 🤣 🤣 🤣


P.S. Note the slogan above and behind the goons on the right: "Es lebe Sowietrussland"
@Thinkerbell [quote]Yeah, right, Boo-Boo... there was never a lefty who was ambitious, hungry for power or cruel. Every one of them has been the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.[/quote]

I'm sure there has been because people don't always act consistently with their own values. However, the point is that you can't be both ideologically leftist and ideologically authoritarian. It would be like saying there are some Atheists who believe in a god.

[quote]Of course it was, Boo-Boo; the Russian revolution sent shock waves through Europe.[/quote]

Yes, but the way Fashies gained power was with conspiracy theories about "Cultural Bolshevism" and/or "Jewish Bolshevism." Again, it was a fake version of Communism that drove people to the Right.

[quote]If you don't read them, it's because they strike too close to the truth of you in your mommy's basement.[/quote]

Again with the mommy issues... 🤨

I do have a sugar daddy, so I don't know how much I can disagree here. Like if the implication is that I'm being taken care of by a parental figure, guilty. 😆

[quote]You just got through saying up above that Soviet communism was itself fascism, so how could the German communists have been fighting fascism?[/quote]

A lot of the German Communist opposed the Soviet Union. You may have seen Antifa use the three arrows symbol. That comes from this.


The Social Democrats were a Marxist party that opposed the Monarchs, the Nazis, and the Tankies. They recognized that the Soviet Union was just another form of Authoritarianism, like Monarchy and Nazism.

Now again, I'm not a Marxist, I don't support any form of Anarchy. However, Marxists are generally good people, so I'd gladly stand with them against Fashies.

[quote]Oh, and below, for your delectation, is another cool picture from the 1927 Berlin rally of the KPD.[/quote]

Oh, the KPD was definitely on your side. The Social Democrats opposed them, because they recognized the KPD were tankie-ass Red Fascists. Though I'm sure in your infinite gullibility, you'd be tricked into thinking they were real Commies.
[image deleted][image deleted]It seems Mayor Adams came out with remarks on the protestors and their taking down the American flag, replacing it with the Palestinian flag. He was not happy with that.
Then at some point before the NYPD ousted the protestors, a representative for them went before the press and requested that sustinence be brought to the protestors.
NOTE:
Correction : The flag incident was not at Columbia University. It was at City college.
@ron122 That line isn't working. Most Americans don't believe all Palestinians are terrorists.
Are you trying to convince yourself?
ron122 · 41-45, M
@BohemianBoo You support terrorists.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@BohemianBoo Zionism has NOTHING to do with genocide of ANYONE. The only ones
that propose genocide, are the Palestinians, and a bunch U.S. college kids. They are the
ONLY ones calling for it. Have you watched any of the protests? Probably just the
DNC approved videos, am I right?
ron122 · 41-45, M
Republicans have been saying this for years. And democrats using their usual response called them racist.

@ron122 so you're saying it was a mistake for Netanyahu to prop up Hamas all these years...? 🤔

"For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces.
The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from. For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group."
The Times of Israel
2023
------------
"For 14 years, Netanyahu's policy was to keep Hamas in power; the pogrom of October 7, 2023, helps the Israeli prime minister preserve his own rule
Much ink has been spilled describing the longtime relationship – rather, alliance – between Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas. And still, the very fact that there has been close cooperation between the Israeli prime minister (with the support of many on the right) and the fundamentalist organization seemingly evaporated from most of the current analyses – everyone’s talking about “failures,” “mistakes” and “contzeptziot” (fixed conceptions). Given this, there is a need not only to review the history of cooperation but also to conclude unequivocally: The pogrom of October 7, 2023, helps Netanyahu, and not for the first time, to preserve his rule"
Adam Raz
Haaretz
Oct 20th 2023
-------------
"The same is true of Netanyahu’s longstanding policy of bolstering Hamas rule in Gaza, including encouraging Israel’s de facto ally Qatar to finance the terrorist organization. While the much-respected Israeli newspaper Haaretz has covered this issue, it has been largely ignored by the international press."

@BohemianBoo You do know that the woke, left wing college students are calling for
genocide of Jews, just like the Nazis, right? Shouldn't you then be calling THEM Nazis
in lieu of the right? No one on the right is calling for genocide of ANYONE.

[quote]"The violent spectacles on campus, have no purpose."[/quote]

But they DO have a purpose... to spread dissension and political turmoil in the U.S., a country despised by the far left.

The far left will even make common cause with the theocratic dictatorship of Iran to bring down the Little and Great Satans.

Mayor Adams is wrong. The violent spectacles on campus DO have a purpose. They are designed to destroy American youth.

The communists who are presently running this nation desire nothing more than to have brainwashed, Woke, radicalized youth attending ivy league colleges, with the purpose of destabilizing our future.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
What does this remind me of? Oh yeah, I think Mayor Daley of Chicago said something similar back in the 60s. It's the same type of game but with different players and a different agenda.
Radicalizing is a form of teaching. Not one that we nessarily like, but it is a form.

And we are all being taught to stand up for when someone gets hurt, and they're doing that... not nessarily in the best way, but if you give a troll attention, it'll keep doubling down as long as it's getting that attention.
@NativePortlander1970 Try convincing students that are struggling in math that there math teachers isn't forcing ideals when she says all other answers other than hers is wrong.
@sstronaut Except that calculus isn't an ideal, trig doesn't scream in your face when geometry is more practical with specific applications.
@NativePortlander1970
Explain to me how Math professors, don't find Calculus to be a standard of perfection. As that meets the definition.

If universities had not been radicalizing students, American cities would not have black mayors. Eric Leroy Adams would be driving a school bus.

Mayor Adams is witch hunting.

Reminds me of Kipling’s story or RiktTikyTavi I read in my childhood.

They shot the valiant mongoose because they could not see the evil snake

The question here is whether Adam’s cannot see the snake or he is under orders to ignore the snake and shoot the mongoose.
Now the lawsuits from
Both Jewish and Palestinian students have been filed.
The faculty are the ones instigating it.

Why are the Palestinians and College kids still calling for genocide against the Jews?
