The author lists Malcolm X and Angela Davis as people the protesters should emulate, and then says; "There’s no chance you’d ever find any of these legendary activists hurling insults at police officers" and "If we want genuine change, we have to be willing to compromise and meet with the opposition on the other side."

Damn. Really makes you 🤔

Malcolm X on a completely unwarranted act of police brutality against members of the NOI

The matter should be investigated. The matter should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. What do they look like, running all over this country investigating things that are of no consequence, and they haven’t got sense enough to go into Los Angeles and investigate the Gestapo tactics of the police department out there? What do they look like condemning Eichman for what he did in Germany or the Nazis for what they did in Germany, and you’ve got some Gestapo tactics being practiced by the police department in this country against 20 million black people, second class citizens, day in and day out

When I read that,I was convinced that this has to be satire. Somehow it's not

"There’s no chance you’d ever find any of these legendary activists hurling insults at police officers"

True, you should unironically be polite to people in public when your identity is on display

Goddamn this is some thoughtless drivel. I hope our boy Gabriel enjoys his tenure at The Atlantic

If all we do is make physical noise every now and then, we can’t really accomplish anything besides successfully antagonizing the other side.

Right now, we’re pushing people away. We’re pushing away the very people who have the means and the power to establish actual change.

What I saw at that protest a month ago was the perpetuation of polarization. Driving the gap between people even further. The same concept that the corruption in this country thrives on.

As time goes on, there just seems to be more and more polarization and less and less actual unity. We keep villainizing each other and genuinely believe that doing so will fix real problems or change something.

That’s not how it works.

If we want genuine change, we have to be willing to compromise and meet with the opposition on the other side.

Libs are literally incapable of understanding that there are some beliefs that are irreconcilable. What's the negotiation between "yes genocide" and "no genocide"? Half genocide?

No, you have to compromise. We demand you launch airstrikes only between 10am - 6pm in areas at least 100m from designated school zones, launched by pilots who have at least 6 hours of training in identifying targets and minimizing civilian casualties. Then it's not a war crime, it's just sparkling neoimperialism

We need to give more money to the IDF, for training, so they stop accidentally killing so many civilians

(Typing out "we need to give more money to the IDF" made me want to puke)

[–] regul@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can the pilots also be from an underserved neighborhood?

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

How many babies should be killed, and should it be done in a more organized way? Maybe Gabriel has some ideas about facilities that might make this whole genocide thing less unsightly.

This is SJSU

Not even tech bro beep boops care about that slop college, they mostly go to Stanford. Many students who take their programs seriously just visit that shit to complete their gen ed courses.

This drivel imo fits all the check marks of the "white moderate" MLK elaborated on.

this is a honestly embarrassing level of historical illiteracy. like it's just vibes based history. I don't even think they bothered reading a wikipedia article.

The only thing that is productive is letting the adults in the room decide everything without any oversight or accountability. If you suggest anything else you're an authoritarian red fash tankie
