    if i were the asshole tasked with diffusing campus protests, i would literally do nothing. seriously, the semester is almost over. campuses will be emptying out across the US over the next few weeks.

    the legislature subpeonaed a bunch of university presidents over this and other culture war crap over the last month and dragged them to score political points with their shitheel constituencies. university presidents, wretched cowards all, of course panicked at possibly upsetting the philanthropic donor class of Car Dealership Owners and Chamber of Commerce Psychos, so now they are going batshit with riot cops and other adminstrative moves to expose the lie of "campus community" to everyone who is theoretically in one.

    i guess we should be cynically grateful the people in charge are too fucking stupid to develop and execute a strategy that is anything but impulsive reaction, but it is still infuriating to watch these useless pigs shove, push and snort smugly at people for the crime of not wanting to support and finance an active genocide after 7 months.
