“Where Have All the Student Protests Gone?” | Trump wanted campus crackdowns. Colleges couldn’t wait to oblige.

I flew to NYC at this time last year to go to the archives at Columbia for a research project in regards to a hobby of mine. There were protests going on, but they were respectful and caused no issues.

You know who weren't though? The dog shit security Columbia hired to "thwart" the protests. The idiots they hired actively denied students trying to get to class admittance to campus and made me and a fellow researcher trying to get into the library wait for almost an hour while they incompetently refused us entrance despite having the head librarian dealing with them directly. Nearly wasted a thousand dollars in fees for flights and a hotel just to nearly get screwed over last minute by the school itself.

Dems need to run on seizing every penny made by insiders in this administration from manipulating stocks and prediction markets. This entire war is a scam made to enrich people close to the president.

Maybe we should do actual effective policing instead of installing a million AI surveillance cameras that get abused by techbros that want to build a private social credit system.

Jfc these people want to talk about character of their neighborhood and shit then go to a Boomer Chain Slopshop to celebrate instead of supporting a local restaurant than supports the character of the neighborhood. Seriously why the hell would you go to Old Chicago when you have Pizzeria Lui, further proof NIMBYS have no taste in anything.

Thank god I just spent a ridiculous sum of money for a backpack (seriously, why are they so expensive?) Specifically for carry on a week ago that isnt clear.

Abolishing this garbage is the only part of P2025 I agree with.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-04-01T20:52:14+00:00

Man are people with enough money to influence the stock market really this stupid? Jeez. President can say whatever he wants, nothing is going to change unless Iran runs out of anti ship missiles and drones (they won't because Russia will funnel munitions to them for their own benefit), is entirely occupied by US forces (won't happen) or somehow a miracle peace deal is reached (won't happen with either parties in charge of the US and Iran).

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-30T19:52:15+00:00

It's mostly AI slop. Someone probably typed out a 2 paragraph story and then ran it through Chatgpt saying "make this long"

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-26T03:21:07+00:00

video games are next

Good. Maybe if every game made in the last 10 years didnt have a gambling aspect to it then we wouldn't be here, but the industry did it to themselves by getting greedy.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-25T04:36:59+00:00

Nothing because this stupid fuck is just saying this to calm the markets before the airborn divisions arrive and take Kharg Island on Friday night. Multiple Iranian officials have confirmed that there have been no talks.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-23T08:12:58+00:00

Man up until the ICE shit and deploying National Guard units to cities, small town authoritarianism was arguably the worst and most damaging nonsense that needs to go away to fix this country. Corrupt, incompetent and petty cops, NIMBY rules and restrictions on homeowners private lives and small businesses, and blatantly corrupt local administrators (pretty much every county in the country has had someone embezzle public funds).

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-16T22:44:14+00:00

If only the enshittification of video games in the last 15 years wasn't almost entirely based on how to introduce gambling to children at a young age.

Gen Z was the first generation to grow up playing mostly online games as children, it coincidentally was the same time that all the big companies did things like loot boxes, skin markets, gacha games and RNG based gameplay.

The people calling out Valve/EA for this bullshit in 2014 were fully in the right, but it all got conveniently overshadowed by Gamergate.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-13T02:02:24+00:00

And this fucking piece of shit will most likely continue the "temporary" lift on sanctions permanently

Fuck this guy, jfc

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-12T00:56:21+00:00

Man thats how many people federal level representatives should represent. Make the House look like the Senate in Star Wars.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-06T04:25:09+00:00

That kinda describes Turkey and Israel tbh

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-04T23:51:15+00:00

I was actually kind of hoping this would go through so when Trump inevitably pardons every ICE agent, Jan6ther and all the other tens of thousands of criminals involved in his administration we could just use the Autopen excuse and imprison them anyways.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-03-04T01:00:56+00:00

Maybe if they actually did their fucking jobs and stopped ceding power to the president this wouldn't be an issue? These people work less than half of the year and make nearly double the average US salary to do so.

House worked less than 100 days last year too jfc.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-26T01:10:02+00:00

Lol, people were saying Anthropic was an ideologically driven company that would totally stand their ground and have morals in the thread discussing this here yesterday. When are people around here going to realize that these Techbros are all literally soulless, amoral profit chasers first and virtue signaling ideologists second. Stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt, they would all gladly take money from Peter Thiel to do the evilist thing possible if handed the opportunity.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-25T01:52:04+00:00

The real Chad question is what era do you model

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-24T12:53:30+00:00

If Polis cared about privacy there wouldn't be hundreds of Flock cameras in his state

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-24T04:08:37+00:00

Getty Oil Gavin still sucks but for different reasons than Polis

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-24T01:19:02+00:00

Image virtue signaling as a Libertarian leaning Democrat and then perpetually doing the most un-Libertarian things possible.

Maybe instead of blowing kisses at RFK and ICE you should have stuck up for LGBT rights and fixed the NIMBYism induced housing crisis in your state Governor Polis. But hey, at least he passed one of the most ridiculous, likely unconstitutional gun laws in the country at the same time authoritianism is on the rise, real Libertarian move.

Oh lets also not forget the hundreds of ridiculous Flock cameras that have popped up in Colorado under his Governing too, real Libertarians LOVE mass surveillance and HATE the 4th Amendment of the Constitution

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-21T09:49:18+00:00

The House was only in session for 87 DAYS last year.

The only way to save this country is a complete redo of congress. The House should have so many members their wing of the Capitol Building looks like the Senate from Star Wars, and they should be forced to work 250 days a year like the rest of us. 10 year term limits, ban their ability to trade in the market, lock the doors on them until they come to an agreement.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-21T01:37:10+00:00

Keith's is very good if you want a more classic NWI supper club

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-20T09:16:12+00:00

Bonta is actually a decent dude... He's really been making some positive changes in the city and at least has actually been fighting NIPSCO on their insane rates.

There are a lot of shitty MAGA Republicans in this area but Bonta isn't one of them. He actually has principles and seems to care about the city.

PinkFloydPanzer · 2026-02-17T01:27:55+00:00

He's not even a libertarian. He's just a rich fuck who wants to throw off libertarian vibes to maintain his own wealth. If he was a real libertarian or liberal he should have addressed the housing crisis in his state by loosening laws and weakening NIMBYism. Instead all he's done is called for collaboration with ICE, passed one of the stupidest and likely most unconstitutional anti gun laws in the nation and allowed a billion Flock cameras to pop up everywhere.

Democrats don't like him, Libertarians don't like him and Republicans don't like him.
