Columbia holds classes virtually as Jewish leaders warn about safety amid pro-Palestinian protests

@raphjd Reasons why.

Isolation from reality, as you describe - makes weird lib-fetishes possible.
Substitute religion or what Frankl called "Man's Search For Meaning" - emotional driver of lib-fetishes.
Narcissism, need for attention, need to dominate & control others, need for drama - all degenerate late-empire forms of number 2.
Sexual attraction too: with masculinity bred out of West, Westerners' unconscious sexual attractions turn toward places & people that still show masculinity.

Remember when libs were against insurrections?

"Gaza Cities" or "Gaza Solidarity" movement on several campuses.

Here, police try to shut one down - but don't use enough violence. (Caution: it's a bore to watch scream-brats win.)

Columbia goes online for rest of year:

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/columbia-shifts-hybrid-classes-pro-palestinian-demonstrations-persist

Think about this.

They try to fig leaf it as, "hybrid classes" or optional. But..... bottom line...... you're a Jewish student who goes $70k / year into debt........... and Columbia can't be bothered to protect your safety.

"Nice" "liberal" Columbia exiles Jewish students to ghetto - which in digital 2024, just happens to be their own homes, almost like covid lockdown.

Wrong wrong wrong!

Columbia Student Who Said ‘Zionists Don’t Deserve To Live’ Reportedly ‘Thrown Out Of School’

https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-student-who-said-zionists-dont-deserve-to-live-reportedly-expelled

Haaretz journalist Judy Maltz posted on X that Khymani James, the leader of the anti-Israel encampment on the school’s campus, “has been thrown out of school.”

Not sure I agree. Free Speech should be absolute - even when hate speech.

Real issue with Columbia is: Jewish students getting stalked & harassed in person - and Columbia does not follow its own policies, to protect them.

Columbia needs to do a lot more to allow free & wild speech - while it protects people physically.

The only problem is the left thinks "free speech" and violence are the same thing, but only when they do it, while anything conservatives say is violence.

Bike Lock Professor, Eric Clanton originally tried to use "smashing people over the head with a bike lock is speech". Not surprisingly, he also said "words are violence" and "silence is violence" in his classroom lectures.

Moldy-locks used empty bottles to smash people over the head, but when one of her would-be victims clocked her in the jaw before she could hit him, it was "but you can't hit a girl" from the left. The left screeched "misogyny".

So many examples of the left's mental gymnastics to justify their bullshit.

Regardless of the political side, I'm against the "....... should be killed" "doesn't deserve to live" etc, etc, etc, type of speech because that causes the crazies to think it's ok to commit violence against others.

I do agree with the US Supreme Court on the issue that there is no such thing as hate speech. Of course, the left claims that the only hate speech there is is stuff they don't like. If they say it, it can't be hate speech.

@raphjd oh Moldylocks, forgot about her! https://100percentfedup.com/the-guy-who-punched-moldylocks-speaks-out-about-violent-antifa-female-with-a-bottle-video/

I'm against the "....... should be killed" "doesn't deserve to live" etc, etc, etc, type of speech because that causes the crazies to think it's ok to commit violence against others.

Fair point. But the answer is....to mansplain (in a good way) & condemn them, ie. speech.

I don't want to live in a world without extreme parodies of libs, like this:

https://nypost.com/2021/12/04/woke-new-jersey-dem-fooled-by-fake-rabbis-parody-twitter-account/

The campaign of Imani Oakley, a 31-year-old progressive activist running for Congress in Newark, thought it was in negotiations to organize a fundraiser with like-minded Linda Goldstein — the “chief rabbi” of Gaza — but instead were chatting up a Big Apple lawyer running a parody Twitter account.

On the bizarre parody account, Rabbi Linda Goldstein warns Hamas fighters to practice social distancing in terror tunnels; posts photos of herself posing with a menorah made of Qassam rockets; and bills herself as the “Jewish issues advisor” to Hamas boss Ismail Haniyeh.

“Excited to announce #Hamas has given me permission to build the first and only #Jewish #Ghetto in #Gaza #Palestine!,” Goldstein announces in a June tweet. “By default, wherever a #Jew lives they’re #Colonizing. Ghettos ensure Jews don’t displace #Palestinians.”

Btw that's 2021 - but Jamal Bowman - you remember, he disrupted official proceedings but is NOT being prosecuted nor jailed - in 2024 just fell for same parody:
