Here is a way to solve this. Allow the students who were kept from attending classes and graduating be allowed to sue the universities for breeches of contract. You should be allowed to protest ( although I guarantee that most of these “protesters” know very little about this conflict.) but you should not be allowed to disrupt other people’s lives. Just like the asshats that block traffic.

Here is an example of kinship that America use to have with its greatest ally back in the day. I think you will enjoy this quote from the Russian Foreign Minister Alexander Gorchakov writing to Lincoln in the Autumn of 1862 a year and a half into the war- "You know that the government of United States has few friends among the Powers. England rejoices over what is happening to you; she longs and prays for your overthrow. France is less actively hostile; her interests would be less affected by the result; but she is not unwilling to see it. She is not your friend. Your situation is getting worse and worse. The chances of preserving the Union are growing more desperate. Can nothing be done to stop this dreadful war? The hope of reunion is growing less and less, and I wish to impress upon your government that the separation, which I fear must come, will be considered by Russia as one of the greatest misfortunes. Russia alone, has stood by you from the first, and will continue to stand by you. We are very, very anxious that some means should be adopted-that any course should be pursued-which will prevent the division which now seems inevitable. One separation will be followed by another; you will break into fragments."

@JPJ432 17 күн бұрын

Here is another quote I think you will like but from Tsar Alexander II in an Interview after the war: "In the Autumn of 1862, the governments of France and Great Britain proposed to Russia, in a formal but not in an official way, the joint recognition by European powers of the independence of the Confederate States of America. My immediate answer was: "I will not cooperate in such action; and I will not acquiesce. On the contrary, I shall accept the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by France and Great Britain as a casus belli for Russia. And in order that the governments of France and Great Britain may understand that this is no idle threat; I will send a Pacific fleet to San Francisco and an Atlantic fleet to New York."

I agree overall, but this also deals with *freedom of assembly.* And while I also feel that laws and rules still apply there, whether those rules should go so far as to inhibit assembly for protest, in a public space, starts to get into contested areas.

@Hedgehobbit 16 күн бұрын

@@bellowingsilence In the First Amendment, freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble are two separate rights but they have sort of merged over the years. IMO, if you can't do something (such as camp out on private property) when you aren't protesting, you shouldn't be able to do it just because you are protesting. Otherwise, you can just claim to be protesting 24/7/365 and never have to obey various laws. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the land that these protesters are camping on is private property so the owners of that land (i.e. the University) should have the right to tell them to leave.

5:00 ish (points on Foucault). Partly the repeated references to Foucault and partly my interest in epistemology have caused me to read him a bit, and I did not see either how his writings lead to what is ascribed to him. But then I have found some interviews with him, and these are more calling for action.

@mestiza1988 7 күн бұрын

I agree. I think it is less about Foucault’s actual writings and more about the application of Foucault to everything under the sun. There is a lot of subpar scholarship in academic journals implicating Foucault in the absurdity of academia. I just narrowly escaped grad school with my brain intact because of all this stuff. By the end of my first year I was sick to death of hearing about Foucault. There is almost a religious obsession with him.

@charlesmichaelhunt9935 16 күн бұрын

From Brian Barry's excellent 1975 review of Anarchy, State and Utopia: "The book's conclusions are not in the least unusual. They articulate the prejudices of the average owner of a filling station in a small town in the Midwest who enjoys grousing about paying taxes and having to contribute to "welfare scroungers" and who regards as wicked any attempts to interfere with contracts, in the interests, for example, of equal opportunity or anti-discrimination. There will be nothing unfamiliar in the conclusions of the book to those who have read their William F. Buckley or their Senator Goldwater or have ever paid attention to the output of the more or less batty crusades and campaigns financed by wealthy Texans and Californians. The only thing that is new is that these views are being expressed by someone who is a Professor of Philosophy at Harvard." "the intellectual texture is of a sort of cuteness that would be wearing in a graduate student and seems to me quite indecent in someone who, from the lofty heights of a professorial chair, is proposing to starve or humiliate ten percent or so of his fellow citizens (if he recognizes the word) by eliminating all transfer payments through the state, leaving the sick, the old, the disabled, the mothers with young children and no breadwinner, and so on, to the tender mercies of private charity, given at the whim and pleasure of the donors and on any terms that they choose to impose." "Nozick's vision of "utopia" as a situation in which advantaged reinforce their advantages by moving into independent jurisdictions, leaving the poor and disadvantaged to fend for themselves, could be regarded as the work of a master satirist, since it is in fact merely the logical extension of pathologically divisive processes already well-established in the United States: the flight of the middle classes to the suburbs while the inner city decays from lack of resources, and the growth of "planned communities" for the wealthy aged and other specially selected groups who are able to shed much of the usual social overhead. Unfortunately, there is no sign that Nozick, jokiness personified in other respects, sees this particular joke, but, thanks to the direction given to public policy by Nixon and Ford and their Supreme Court, the American people have an increasing opportunity to enjoy the joke personally."

Ok, Every dog is allowed one bite. Then they pass another law or an even more egregious violation of the Constitution out of political dogma or plain spite and it gets taken to the courts again. Now, here is my problem, I am not a rich man, I cannot contribute to every organization I agree with, but when I can I try to help those who work to keep us free of gov. intrusion. My tax dollars on the other hand are going toward not only making these noxious laws, but also defending them in court against my best interest and then recycling the mess at political whims and taxpayer expense. Shouldn't this expense come from the politicians themselves or the parties they serve rather than the taxpayers?

@jonathanevenboer 16 күн бұрын

Exactly. Was hoping to see this type of response. I do agree with the point (made by Ms. Mangu-Ward iirc) that if the school has particular extant rules about encampments on campuses, protestors should expect those rules to be enforced. I think that's the only thing I'd add to your list of exceptions to turning a blind eye. As to whether or not Israel should "protect itself from Hamas how ever it deems necessary"... Keeping in mind I'm saying this as an atheist who was raised as a Christian, converted to Islam for a while, and has some Jewish heritage... I think Israel is going too far and is punishing all Palestinians because of Hamas. I'm against the humanitarian crisis going on over there. It's not the war of the citizens caught in the crossfire in Gaza, who are now being deprived of basics like food, water, and aid. I also disapprove of Israel's seeming expansion of the conflict/war to other countries, too. If this becomes a regional war, with the potential for larger global war, it will end up being our business whether we like it or not. That's the problem with "however it deems necessary"; if Israel decides the only way it can adequately protect itself is by setting off WWIII, it's everybody's problem. I definitely think it's America's responsibility to facilitate diplomacy (peace is probably to much to ask for) and slow this conflict tf down. We shouldn't be involved in any military capacity though.

While I agree with there being a problem with Marxism and Identity politics in schools, I'm honestly amazed that you're pointing to this specific protest as tied to that. I am firmly opposed to Marxism, Identity politics (which actually creates racism and doesn't combat it), Post Modernism and all of those things, yet I also think it's very very beyond wrong to mass slaughter civilian elders, women and children. There is no anti-war movement ever who would not be standing right where these protestors are. If you want to point to the BLM riots or the culture war overall, then fine you have a point; but for cripes sake this is the first cause I've seen that is actually standing against something real and not a product of an Ideological lens. Name one thing worse than mass murder of innocents on the basis of their race and the land they live on, just one thing. People don't seem to comprehend that there is nothing possible to do which would be worse than that. They act like it's no big deal...why? how? Imagine if that was being done to people living within a US state. Would it be ok simply because you don't like those people? They're human beings and no, they are not terrorists, they are not military targets. If you want to talk about the issues of the schools and the toxic teachings going on, feel free..but do not list these particular protests as a symptom.

Not really, when anti zionism is frequently used as a cover for anti semitism. When people make anti zionist protests outside synagogues. When anti zionist rhetoric skirts thr line of inciting violence against Israel and/or Jews. You have to expect that protests do not have a strict rhetorical style guide, so that line will be crossed every time this stuff happens

@@anonymousbosch4512 My question wasn't for the protesters. I assume they are a mixed bag of half-educated college sophomores, radical professors, paid instigators, and federal agents. I am more concerned with the political analysts and commenters, both in the establishment media and in the blogosphere. Nuance and precision are missing. It's propaganda all the way down and sideways.

I draw the line at preventing others from doing something. Literally blocking students from entering the school because they are Jewish or calling for the death of them is obviously a step too far. If you are going to protest, do it peacefully. Don't infringe upon others. As we've seen though, these kids don't even know what they are protesting. They just want to be apart of something and feel good about themselves.

@zackerycooper1206 17 күн бұрын

The Tweet that says they were preventing Jewish students from entering shows students on the steps of a separate building, not the entrance to campus. It was a false narrative that anyone was being stopped from entering campus for ideology. Those who are being kept off campus are being kept off by the campus security because they don’t have university IDs.

I am not influenced by anything to do with jobs, but these universities have long forced out any professors that don’t agree with their stated narratives. They have indoctrinated these students so much that the students can’t even answer questions about why they’re protesting.

Respectfully, I find it difficult to stomach the use of black american identity and this countries terrible history as it relates to this community being used in comparison with peoples right to criticize and object to government and state policies as it relates to war peace and mass slaughter. This is not that issue. The cases of individuals being harmed or harassed because of their Jewish identity has been minimal. If you want to make a case that peoples political identity (Zionist) shouldn’t be attacked, villainized, or stereotyped then there’s a conversation o have. But stop making this about “the blacks” and “if this was the blacks”…… trust and believe when “the blacks” mobilize against state and government actions (uhhhh policing), all kinda of racist stereotypes are used against us

Politics in all its forms must be deleted from college. All colleges should ONLY be about Learning practical sciences or vocational stuff. If you want people to learn about politics you can reintroduce the whole “you can only vote if you have served” either through military or working in a government office where you are exposed to legislation in a practical manner. Most people dont know shit and only realize this around the age of 30. I see myself as a libertarian the smaller the government and the more de centralized government is the better
