SWAT AND SRG HAVE INVADED COLUMBIA'S CAMPUS AND ARE ENTERING HIND'S HALL. THEY HAVE FORCED OUT ALL PRESS TO PREVENT RECORDINGS OF THEIR BRUTALITY.

BACK IT UP

Columbia student protesters throw tantrums as they're arrested. Embarrassing.

Protesters should have crunked it, that kills the police

Video of arrested students at Columbia. University from the vantage point of John Jay, where students and press have been BARRICADED INTO THE BUILDING. DISCLOSE, DIVEST, WE WILL NOT STOP WE WILL NOT REST.

Atención. La policía de Nueva York acaba de arrestar a los militantes del grupo terrorista Hamas que tenían tomada a la Universidad de Columbia. Entre los detenidos se encuentra la esposa de Sami Al-Arian, un terrorista de alto nivel, miembro de la YIP.

I just realized so many people are larping as hamas

Tonight the NYPD repeatedly entered Columbia spaces with their guns drawn to confront unarmed students.

They've been waiting for this day

Anti-Israel protesters barricaded inside Columbia University set to be imminently arrested as police corner them and refuse to let them leave. One student moans “It's finals! Can I go home?”

The duality of the protesters

When schools send a bunch of cops in to fight college students, it immediately makes them look brave and justifies their cause. Everyone roots for the underdog especially when they're actually risking something.

Meanwhile at UCLA they're just letting the protestors do whatever. So they're inevitably making themselves look bad.

Beloved parts of campus are spray-painted with cringe anarchy symbols. Walkways are blocked so students can't get to class. Protestors keep climbing onto building scaffolding which impedes construction for no reason. There's a PSA that no bananas or peanuts are allowed at the encampment because someone has an allergy.

I can feel the vibe slowly beginning to shift against them just because they keep doing stupid college-student type stuff.

They really only win when images of cops arresting them are promulgated through the mainstream, because they invoke the cultural memory of Kent State and student protests of the 60s. Columbia is the most embarassing example because the administration is allowing Elise Stefanik to dictate their response because they're more afraid of protecting their jobs, which is ironic because they'll probably be losing them soon and having a Scarlett letter going forward in left spaces because of how they treated them. The Republicans couldn't be happier that this implosion is happening in an election year, it's just impressive that the Biden administration has been able to side step for this long.

Please COPS! PLEASE BEAT US TO DEATH!

The video of the Columbia students who took over a building requesting humanitarian aid at a press conference was so embarrassing. The video of the horse cops breaking up the UT protest was embarrassing. Ignoring seems to be the only good method.

A picture of themself being arrested is what they need to propel their post Uni activism career.

This sub gets too caught up in optics. The reality is repression is effective. It may strengthen passive activism and sympathy, but those people don't do a thing. They're not a problem. Meanwhile repression actively hinders a sizeable part of the demographics that aren't useless, the ones actively doing something. It's a net positive to dissuade them with violence. This is based on my experience in France, maybe not fully applicable to the US where protests are a lot more performative in nature.

neighbor wat

I thought this sub would be sympathetic to the protestors

everyone here probably aligns with the protestors morally and ethically but it's always frustrating to see the left lose the war of optics because we can't help but be cringe.

I'm so checked out, how are they being cringe? All I see is them having occupied the national spotlight and a heightening of political tension

They took over Hamilton Hall (I'm fine with this) and then during a press conference today talked about the need for students occupying the Hall to receive "basic humanitarian aid" unless Columbia wants them to "starve and die of thirst". When told by a reporter that they are simultaneously calling themselves revolutionaries while also asking to be fed by Columbia, she says they aren't asking to be fed but asking "that they don't violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid". When asked if Columbia is stopping delivery of food, she says they are "looking for a commitment that they won't". Just unbelievably cringe. To top it off stood behind her during this conference is a bearded man wearing a crop top and keffiyeh

Seen another one of students who were asked what the goal was. She said showing support for Palestine and demanding NYU stops. When asked "stops what?" she says "Honestly I'm not so sure" then she asks the girl next to her what they are protesting for NYU to stop and she says "I wish I were more educated on that".

There was a student with a "severe banana allergy" so the encampment was made a banana free zone, but Zionist anti-protestors brought bananas and laughed while eating them from a distance which made the students furious.

For anyone averse to cringe its really hard to cheer these people on

!chuds laugh at the absolute state of !redscarepod

Lmao why are clips of a women's exercise class supposed to be some big gotcha?

In other news, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea recently released this song and music video promoting Kim Jong Un's fabulous leadership. I hope kkkapitalists and fascists such as this whiteoid stop slandering him, look at how happy everyone looks!!

The unforeseen positive feedback loops that we will only notice when it's far too late.

We might very well be like Wile E. Coyote, already off the cliff just not realising it yet.

Just like my cartoon!

Preemptive war for diminishing resources.

Wid scale ecological collapse. The ecosystems we have are our life support. They provide all of our food, heavily influence weather patterns, etc. When they go, we go, and we won't be able to out-tech ourselves from the situation. Geopolitical instability rapidly spirals in conjunction with ecological collapse.

I'm surprised to see this relatively low in the list. The biggest problem, IMO, is not that extreme weather events are going to kill people. It's that extreme weather events are going to, at some point, line up badly and wipe out a large amount of food at one time. Add this to the loss of sea life and we simply won't have enough food to feed everyone. Many, many people will die. Many more will try to move.

Looks like Malthusianism is back on the menu!

Geopolitical instability. Collectively, humans are not great at dealing with crisis., so our own collective immaturity will compound any existential crisis. We are the crisis of crisis.

Pandemic is a case in point.

And as for when it will happen, well it started about 2008.

2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 THE YEAR OF MILLENNIAL APOCALYPSE

!ifrickinglovescience !biology !chemistry I'm unironically concerned about climate change as well, but these doomers focus on the most extreme worst-case-scenarios on a very unhealthy way to the point it just discourages any climate action, I don't see much discussion about adaptation neither, not that is a silver bullet but things like more research on GMO heat or drought resistant crops will be necessary and could help with food insecurity. Research on solar geoengineering should also be encouraged.

One of my best friends growing up was a first gen Sri Lankan girl. Parents immigrated in their 20s to work as doctors on the west coast. Were very well off, lived in a towering McMansion, richer than 98% of families in our blue area. My friend was pretty, smart, and… /1

Just looking for new tips. My sleep cycle is fricking wack. It's all over the place. Like does warm milk actually work? I already try asmr, not thinking, heavy blankets, etc. It's like 1am so bored. Ran out of posts to upvote. Pic is Chrono Cross.

Imagine being a full grown man and being excited by cooking.

Not war.

Not conquest.

No. You get adrenaline from making an omelette.

Fucking nerd.

Chefs are worms.

Update:

In case you all were wondering, /r/drama's description of me as looking like "Post Malone if the amount of weed consumed was estrogen" no longer stands. I now bear zero resemblance to any of the pictures that exist of me. In prison, I shaved my head bald and started working out.

Good afternoon !bookworms !verifiedhot

I hope you are all having a great week so far, I've been working literally nonstop so I'm really excited to have a new book to read in my downtime! I'm hesitant to declare The Gambler as the winner bc most of the votes were clearly by the g**mblers and not by bookclub members , so what I'm going to do is veto The Gambler, move forward w/ the runner-ups, and let y'all choose between them in one final voting thread

Sorry to do this , I just somehow highly doubt that our resident (!)slots addicts are actually going to fricking read it or participate in analysis threads , so I don't want y'all to have to suffer through a book you didn't vote for yourselves. You have a period of 12 hours to vote and then I'll post the winner when I get off work tonight!

final poll

wildcard:

So you might've heard of the recent thought experiment hitting the net of women thinking that men are more dangerous than bears, showing that women in general don't really understand the concept of a base rate fallacy. Not that many really long threads with infighting yet, but it's interesting to see it develop.
