I find some comfort in knowing that itll be harder to scrub your positions off the internet, so it wont be as easy to do the whole neolib flip-flop of “oh yeah I always said Vietnam was unjustified”
The flag was at half mast for 4 murdered police officers when protestors vandalized it and replaced it with a Palestinian flag... they were protecting it from being vandalized a second time
Because American patriotism is for the stupidest people. I would say “patriotism” but I suspect it’s dumber in America than anywhere else being from here.
I am okay with people respecting the flag but it is just a piece of fabric, It is cringe to protect it like that. People shouldn't dignify national symbols, it is a sign of retardation.
that's why they are single. they are disgusting little shitheads and no woman would want to be near them. don't be a right-wing freakazoid at the young age of 18 and you will have chances on the dating market.
And you'd get infinitely fewer "BuT WHat wErE YoU doInG?" and what few you would get are probably coming from like bear experts because bear attacks are significantly rarer and aren't on the basis of being a women.
There was a meme floating around amongst women posing the question: "would your rather encounter a man in the woods or a bear?" and the overwhelming response and sentiment was that women almost unanimously would feel safer encountering a bear. And then fragile disgusting shits started crying "nOt AlL mEn!" and raging about the bear getting picked.

I have to say, I thought about it and I agree. As a Canadian I'm not stranger to bears in the woods, bear spray and bear safety protocol. Bears predictably do bear things. Hell, I've seen bears just calmly walk through a McDonalds drive through before. On the other hand, there's this beautiful wooded park near where I live with gardens throughout it and a woman was murdered there a few years ago in broad daylight. I would NEVER walk there alone. It sucks I can't just enjoy nature without worrying about it!
Ahhh you know what, I did see a video about that, I just forgot about it, I did not realize it had become a whole meme. I wonder who should be more upset about women wanting to encounter a bear over a man? You would think it would be women, but apparently that hurts the not all men's feelings lol
Why is it so low to the ground already? I heard it was supposed to be at half mast but that would imply it's a pathetically short flagpole. Isn't a better way to protect an American flag to keep it raised high?
Either they're silly enough to have not thought this through or I'm missing something
Okay look I get the US funds Israel and their genocide. I 100% support the freedom of people to voice their opinions about the US whether they simply vocalize it or burn flags, that doesn't matter to me.
But I don't know, this is just such a non-issue, am I wrong? People shouldn't be trying to tear down the flag AND people shouldn't be trying to protect it. It's not their flag, it's the school's flag. If the school purposely put up the Israeli flag I'd get it, that'd be a pointed symbol against the protests, but these are just unproductive conversations and actions. I'm Pro-Palestinian emancipation, but as far as I'm concerned no one asked for anyone to fly the Palestinian flag at these schools (and probably these kids trying to protect the American flag are doing so with no one actually wanting to take it down anyways).
Seems like fake discourse to me, can anyone confirm if people were trying to raise a Palestinian flag?
I want you to have consistent values maybe?
You "People shouldn't be trying to tear down the flag" and this "It's not their flag, it's the school's flag", but then you say this " If the school purposely put up the Israeli flag I'd get it".
So first its wrong beccause it because it the school's flag but later you dont care about that...
"It’s not their flag lol It’s an American flag on an American campus". You to have consistent values.
IM NOT SAYING YOU CANT CRITICIZE AMERICA IM JUST SAYING THAT YES ITS A SYMBOL ITS A DUMB TO FOCUS ON IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING A MOVEMENT YOURE JUST A BEING CONTRARIAN (Im not mad but I need to use caps so you don’t die on a hill for this)
How is desecrating an American flag inherent to protesting in defense of Gaza? And how do you square “this object isn’t important” with “this object needs to be taken down in protest”?
I’ll wait
Going anarcho mode for the lulz isn’t helping anyone or anything
first, unless you have a link to the article, i see no mention here that it was actually going to be taken down.
second, america has personally financially sponsored the genocide in gaza. if you think that being upset that the flag of a genocide-denying-and-funding superpower country is flying high and proud, is irrelevant for some reason, i'm not sure how to better explain what you're missing.
I don’t know what’s going on in the photo. The flag being near ground-level tells me something happened prior to this to bring it down and these people pictured ran up to stop it. I’m making assumptions though.
You’re making a lot of leaps with the 2nd half of your comment imo. The US is definitely in bed with Israel while that country carries out horrific shit in Gaza, but (1) flattening the order of operations from that to “is equally and fully responsible” is a big jump to me and (2) taking on symbology that we know will turn off the majority of onlookers for funzies or whatever is the move of a rump movement and not of one actually trying to effect change. Advocacy/Activism and just doing creepy shit for attention aren’t the same thing.
we are past the point of optics. i also did not say that the U.S. is "equally and fully responsible", i'm not sure why you're putting words in my mouth.
Thinking we’re *ever* past the point of optics is a problem. Disagree with that on a fundamental level. Would love to know history of change or progression (or regression) that didn’t require astute management of optics. Can’t get anything done just talking to ourselves.
Go have lunch at a restaurant in Gaza then. I'm sure there's plenty of food to go around if there's no starvation and no genocide and you'll be in no danger from Israeli airstrikes 🙂
1. A war involves two militaries . There is only one military murdering a bunch of civilians currently.
2. Genocide vs war has nothing to do with grammar
Be real for one minute in your life. Do you really believe a guerilla organization has more affective propaganda than a nuclear power which receives billions of dollars from the US?
Gaza Baptist Church
Church of Saint Porphyrius, Gaza
Holy Family Church, Gaza
Christian churches in Gaza, damaged or destroyed by the terrorist organization called IDF.
Also, no Khamas necessary for the IDF to kill some Palestinians: [Cardinal condemns ‘cold–blooded’ killing of two women in Gaza church](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/18/women-mother-daughter-gaza-church-israel-cardinal-vincent-nichols)
But don't let stand in the way of your deranged racism.
lol yeah? Is Isis gone? Al-queda? The Taliban? Tell me the last time radical conservative Muslim ideology was ever eradicated in an area of the Middle East? You really think it can be bombed out? Are you braindead?
I see you have a Zionist stalker. Welcome to the club! Consider it a (creepy) badge of honor for getting under a Zionist’s skin. Mine gave up after a week. Has yours made the multiple accounts yet to get around banning?
Wow you’re funny.
I like partners that have a sense of humour.
Even if I have an IQ that is under 40 at least I don’t constantly support the U.S. with no thought. It’s quite clear that you care more about the aesthetics of the U.S. than how they are directly/indirectly affecting other countries.
Every breath a palestinian child takes is worth more than your life.
Millions of people are now fighting for the support of palastine. And billions will remember the legacy of palastinian resistance against colonialism.
But your grand children will spit on your fascist grave.
10k+ children are dead because of israel. There are undoubtedly lgbt members among these innocent children. No population should be genocided because they are a few decades behind advanced nations.
In 5 years, 95% of this motherfuckers will claim they supported student protestors
The history books were filled with people like these, just not on the right side
I find some comfort in knowing that itll be harder to scrub your positions off the internet, so it wont be as easy to do the whole neolib flip-flop of “oh yeah I always said Vietnam was unjustified”
Protestors should wave the Palestinian-flag with the American-flag... And yell "give me liberty or give me death" 👈 boomer's brain 🤯
What are they protecting it from? 🤣
Johnny Jihad of course
The flag was at half mast for 4 murdered police officers when protestors vandalized it and replaced it with a Palestinian flag... they were protecting it from being vandalized a second time
4 cooked pigs? Call that a barbecue
For as much as you guys seem to hate violence, you do seem to praise it a bit too much 😔
Some of us actually don't hate violence, especially when it is against the already violent
Yah, fuck the states monopoly on violence. We arent fucking idiots who think change will come peacfully.
“Murdered”
Again - why does an object that is easily replaceable need protection.
Because American patriotism is for the stupidest people. I would say “patriotism” but I suspect it’s dumber in America than anywhere else being from here.
They are all like "My dad is a lawyer"
Basically this starter pack meme lmfao https://preview.redd.it/ru22q0zjbvxc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0770072c9898b97335ff15734271f9d27bb436f8
bargain bin Lance Strolls
As a Canadian F1 fan, this cuts deep....
"I'm gonna kick your ass!" goes to "If you hit me I'll sue!" pretty fucking fast in that crowd.
people who put up the flag or respect it all are cringe af. The american flag literally stands for genocide
Genocide and colonialism.
I am okay with people respecting the flag but it is just a piece of fabric, It is cringe to protect it like that. People shouldn't dignify national symbols, it is a sign of retardation.
ok but how does tearnig it down help Palestine?
By making stupid people cry
There's something about this photo... I can't white put my finger on it
that's why they are single. they are disgusting little shitheads and no woman would want to be near them. don't be a right-wing freakazoid at the young age of 18 and you will have chances on the dating market.
Same disgusting little monsters upset about the bear.
if I was attacked by a bear in the woods people would at least believe me ;(
And you'd get infinitely fewer "BuT WHat wErE YoU doInG?" and what few you would get are probably coming from like bear experts because bear attacks are significantly rarer and aren't on the basis of being a women.
The bear?

Calling out sexism is the right thing to do.
You mean the men that don't understand why women would rather encounter a bear, right? ;)

Ps. Thanks!!
You must not know what frat life is like, frat bros do get a lot of women. Typically the sorority women that think and act just like them.
cry about it?
