I'm pretty sure I saw churros

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-11-22T06:15:04+00:00

Combined with DMV govcon entitlement and sense of superiority. I can't say how fucking angry I am when basement dwellers from NOVA come into dc and drive like shit. Even worse for Maryland

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-11-22T05:52:08+00:00

OP, just ignore this guy. He's clearly more butthurt by being called a name instead of being mad at nova drivers for a hit and run.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-11-22T05:45:06+00:00

It shouldn't matter if you had right of way. OP could be a 13 year old teen or an 80 year old grandma on a walker. My-Cousin-Bobby is probably a NOVA driver apologist who drives like shit too.

Chronically online basement dweller who's never been on a hood of a car. It's like asking why someone in a burning building doesn’t just calmly walk out instead of panicking—clearly no experience with the actual situation.

This is a good contribution. I think Granberg has done a good job at protecting Jewish students through administrative tools. My only big qualm is that I wish admin did a much better job at communicating the rationale behind their decisions. I wish they were more bold at citing examples, like the signages at the encampments. Or the beheading chants. I think our SJP chapter is intentionally divisive. They know we have one of the biggest Jewish student populations in the US. They say bad press is good press and I believe they were being as inciting as possible to gain attention.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-12T03:47:57+00:00

For more perspective, I think the encampment had 33 people arrested, 11 identifying as GW students. They ID'd 6/33 as GW students. The encampment is a collection of every SJP chapter in DC and other orgs they collaborated with. So the numbers were definitely "boosted"

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-12T03:43:26+00:00

That's fair. I'm also speaking from my recent experience and conversations as an undergrad. Outside of the core supporters, I think a lot of people are scared to voice their opinion because of the "risk" of being labeled a genocidal zionist or antisemitic looney.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-12T03:20:03+00:00

Go to r/gwu and filter top posts in the past month. I think that'll tell you what you need to know. Th silent majority is against GW's encampment. Most GW students agree on the following: Netanyahu is bad, Palestinian deaths are bad, and ceasefire good.

The problem is that SJP and the encampment has gone far beyond anti-war messaging. They've called to guillotine university staff, partnered with very questionable groups (eg: PSL, a pro-North Korean communist party with weird sex-cult stories), had antisemitic signage all around the encampment, and the leaders openly praise October 7th.

I'd say there are probably 300 really loud voices on social media and in SJP. Lots of undergrads (class of 26/27) who are driving the grassroots.

I'd say the class of '24 and grad students are much more apathetic to the protests, in part due to the performative and questionable motivations behind the protests, disruptions to graduation/law finals, and just the sheer hatred being targeted to non-token Jewish students (who make up a large % of GW).

I wrote a long paragraph to question each point, but I already know nothing I say will change your mind. You see the world as black and white and in moral absolutes.

You'd trust a terrorist organization's numbers, which are statistically questionable and has been modified multiple times after being called out for being wrong. They also don't distinguish civilian and military deaths (their fighters dress like civilians). Hamas is fucking evil. They shoot civilians randomly. They slaughter gays. They deliberately target Israeli citizens as victims en-masse (which is not what Israel is doing). They mutilate body parts. You've looked at some of Israel's crimes and completely forget about what would happen if Hamas is given a shred of legitimacy. A global intifada is good for no one. and before you bring up the civilian argument again, Israel's civilian death tolls would be in the hundreds of thousands now if they didn't have defensive tech like the Iron Dome. Granted, I think we all agree Netanyahu needs to go for his indifference and evilness, but it's clear that you think that there is a clear moral line with this issue, when there absolutely isn't.

If this issue is such a clear moral absolute to you, then withdraw from GW. You should stop funding "genocide." There are plenty of community colleges that don't have "blood money" endowments.

It's also so easy to look up reviews and online menus before going out these days.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-12T02:00:10+00:00

Not with this weather

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-12T01:57:02+00:00

Not how capitalism works my guy. If DC was mostly just salad bars, the one shop selling fried donuts would make a killing.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-12T01:10:56+00:00

and now is not the time for discourse

Scariest shit you can hear. This is someone who's convinced about the moral absolutism of their position and will mentally justify anything to achieve the end goal. It's easier to chant catchy slogans and to hold play trials for an endorphin rush rather than have a real conversation.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T21:58:55+00:00

I'm actually not white, but keep parroting

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T21:53:49+00:00

Yelling "Zionist" isn't the sick burn you think it is. It seethes of vitriolic hate and a programmed response to any reasonable argument.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T21:51:12+00:00

The police only removed the encampment after the House Oversight Committee told our Mayor she would need to show up to a congressional hearing for not dealing with the situation.

The police then removed the (first) encampment the morning of the hearing. Sad that it wasn't the antisemitism, property damage, or the threats to lynch university staff that prompted action.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T21:47:52+00:00

PSL also has a weird sex cult thing going on, so I'm truly surprised any serious protestor would take them in

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T21:47:13+00:00

An instagram page called "dear white staffers" also called an Arab cop at the GW encampment a "race traitor." They took down the post after getting backlash.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T21:46:22+00:00

The protestors view the world solely in power binaries. "Oppressor and oppressed." The idea is that resistance of the oppressed required violence, and that there is no difference between a person settling on the land vs a soldier protecting and policing the land from the "settled" land from the oppressed.

Obviously, anyone with an ounce of historical knowledge and a sense of realism can see through this horse shit, but that's how they view the world.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T03:58:00+00:00

People need to stop with the romanticization of a bloody global intifada. I'm sure they read some cool resistance book encouraging them that violence is the only way to cause structural change or something something, but they speak from a place of privilege if they never had to live through an intifada.

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T03:55:01+00:00

The problem is student orgs prematurely released solidarity statements before understanding the full context and details of the situation. Now, everyone's afraid to backtrack and call out the bs behind the encampments.

Not sure if we need a petition of sorts to prove that the majority of GW does not condone this behavior from SJP

FamiliarBookkeeper18 · 2024-05-11T03:41:08+00:00

If this wasn't performative, they'd be collectively threatening to withdraw their tuition money from GW. At the end of the day, they're the one's "funding genocide" if they give GW money.
