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.
@BohemianBabe 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?
@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.
"I already used facts to debunk your nazi talking-points."
Wrong again, Boo-Boo. You didn't debunk anything, and they weren't "nazi talking points"; they were historical FACTS.
"You said people sided with the Nazis because the Commies were rioting in the streets. But the Nazis were also rioting in the streets"
Not nearly to the same extent. From 1919 to 1929, the KPD put on MUCH bigger demonstartions than the NSDAP could, as the "cool" pictures I posted for you proved. The KPD was getting about 10% of the vote in elections, while the NSDAP could never muster more than 2-3% during that period, so the "cultural Bolshevism" and other conspiracy theories the nazis were pushing were having no significant effect on the general population.
And in May of 1929, the KPD staged another big demonstration in Berlin that resulted in another Spartacist-style uprising — "Blutmai" — again thoroughly frightening the German middle class. This was the REAL communism, as PRACTICED, not Marx's pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow fantasy, which you yourself have admitted (in a brief moment of lucidity) is impossible, but for some reason keep clinging to.

What gave the NSDAP its big opportunity was the Great Depression, which began toward the end of 1929. Over the next two years the SPD coalition government was helpless in preventing the rise in unemployment from about 10% to 30%, so it was as impossible for them to remain in power in the 1932 elections as it was for Herbert Hoover and the Republicans in the US.
Not surprisingly, the German populace turned to the Right in 1932, as a result of SPD failure, and a continual threat of REAL (not "cultural") Bolshevism from the KPD on the Left.
@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.
@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.
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.
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.
@BohemianBabe 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?
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.
@BohemianBabe 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.
@graphite Wouldn't that be nice, if it were true! Unfortunately, there are many, many brain dead Dem parents who DO want their kids to attend left wing nut house universities.
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.
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.
@carpediem The Ivy League should no longer get any federal funding,the donations they do have should be taxed,and they should personally underwrite their own student loans .
