The protestors of the 60s and 70s had very real reasons to protest. There were very real racial issues and sexual discrimination issues. They were watching their peers being sent to lose their lives and limbs in stupid meaningless wars. They had legit grievances. These protestors on college campuses today in this country are a complete joke. Paid agitators and life losers.
you would have been against the vietnam protesters and against integration

It’s pretty clear - You either hate freedom or don’t really understand what it is. Which is it? Do you have any awareness of that?

You’re missing who’s doing the protesting - Palestinians who are being killed by US backed Israel. They don’t give two shits about Ukraine.

To be similar, you’d need Ukrainians being killed by US backed Russia protesting. And they’d not give two shots about Gaza.

Your mistske, like always, is assuming “the left“ is a singular group. In fact, “the left” is just the tons of little groups who don’t fit under “the right’s” general white Christian umbrella. There are a multitude of different interests on the left, which is how you can have liberals angry At Jews, who also tend to be liberal.
It's not that hard to understand this.

Ifall and Grommy just can't.

They are life losers looking for an outlet. Its an election year so its time for the left's agitators to take to the campuses and streets.

So the 30,000 dead, mostly women and children, does not constitute a ”real” issue? Just a “complete joke”?

That's what it all boils down for you, money.

Not future consequences for all of us or compassion for other human beings.

You're weird.
incorrect

I don’t want my kids caught up in a meaningless war first, then money

And you should know me by now trying to come at me with some “compassion” nonsense

Lets assume that your propaganda 30,000 number is true, that has little if any real world impact on any of these college kids. These morons have to imagine their oppression because they have none in their coddled little lives.

Is being directly impacted a requirement for valid protest? Should pro-life marches be limited only to people who have been aborted?

I suppose it’s impossible that protesters have family or friends who live in Gaza? That some may be from the region themselves?

And what do you do with the Jews protesting Israel’s actions? Mock them for protesting something that doesn’t negatively impact them?

I recall that early on in this war American Jews were protesting against Hamas. Did you have the same rules for valid protest then?
