lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven't seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn't bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we've just been hit with, seriously wtf

Eh, I'm sure some will become reactionaries later in life, but there was a selfish reason to protest Vietnam in the draft. These students are risking a lot for purely selfless reasons or for their families in Palestine. Pessimism is usually pretty accurate in the imperial core, but I'm hopeful for the next generations

The lot of pro-palestine protestors are smug pieces of shit with many reactionaries among them?

The poster before you was talking about current Palestine protestors when they said:

Oh right, what mean in Gen Zers in general, I thought I was being obvious 😅

That is a very reactionary, idealistic position to take given massive youth support for Palestine
