Anti-semitic losers.

I'm imagine they are too young to be fans of Bernie Sanders, but in that vein, they won't be voting anyway!

I'll get blasted for this, but it's been my experience in life. These extremist activists that claim to be all about the downtrodden and marginalized are often some of the biggest ASSHOLES in person and treat people that do the shitty jobs no one else wants to do like shit. This is exactly what I'd expect from them.

Please note: I'm not saying they are the only ones that do this or that everything they support is automatically invalid because of it. But that "concern" they supposedly have is really some kind of twisted, narcissistic desire to be seen as good people rather than genuine. I can't stand them.

Oh my God, like, they're just like, the help, ok? Like, not actual people like the ones in Gaza, right? Like, get the fuck over it, ok? Aren't they getting paid or something? My God, you're spiking my anxiety, like oh my God.

One of the protesters arrested is some 40 year old nepo baby with a trust fund and a $3.4 million townhouse in Brooklyn.

r2, as I wrote in another thread: "In my experience in the academy, academics who scream the loudest about equity, oppression, and social justice are often the ones who treat support staff the worst."

You mean this douchebag, R4?

"Columbia: this protester was a 40-year-old trust fund kid named James Carlson, who owns a townhouse in Brooklyn worth $3.4 million. The man who tried to hold him back was Mario Torres, 45, who has worked at Columbia—where the average janitor makes less than $19 an hour—for five years."

Countdown to Torres and family getting death threats in 3...2...

Yes, that's the one, R6.

His interview. He and his family are bound to get death threats from the pro-Pal riot scums.

"Columbia Custodian Trapped by ‘Angry Mob’ Speaks Out ‘We don’t expect to go to work and get swarmed.’ A Free Press exclusive with facilities worker Mario Torres."

[quote]When the custodians told the demonstrators that they wanted to get out of the building, at least one “smarmy, sanctimonious, elitist ... occupier” — in a reference to the Gaza protests and takeover of Hamilton — [bold]told them they would not be able to exit premises because “this moment is bigger than you,”[/bold] Samuelsen alleged in the letter.

Infuriating MARY!

So the main piece of evidence for the workers being intimidated is a worker attacking a protestor? lol

OP is fine with protesters as long as they're saying "Jews will not replace us"

R2, in my experience the right-wingers who demonize activists are the worst people around. They're also racist and homophobic

We probably should get the lawsuit complaint and link it here. Unions don't usually file frivolous complaints.

by Anonymousreply 14May 8, 2024 3:45 AM

I love this. I hope the little “protesting” cunts get sued by the working class into oblivion. It’ll keep their shitty names in the press and cancel them from real jobs even further.
