This is a live stream you just posted.
Would you happen to have a specific link to the protest? I catched a bit and saw a girl demanding that her Uni acknowledges the genocide in Gaza. My first though was that Universities should focus on providing an education and stay out of politics but I couln't get a real insight into the whole thing because of the Carnation Revolution celebrations here, they cut into every political party leader cunt that is making a speech.

So there was a protest and some protesters got rowdy. Is that it? To me it doesn't seem like a big deal, especially when you compare it to the French protests - any French protests.

I don't think these protests are antisemitic in nature, although I have no doubts there are some antisemitic elements for the ride. Which is unfortunate.

Is there a message that you're trying to convey that I'm not getting, or what?

It seemed more exciting yesterday when I heard bottle throwing was involved. That was a small minority that were getting rowdy. Let's move along.

Yeah, it's super dumb that anyone would be protesting the 38,000+ civilians killed by the IDF in Gaza

The killing of innocent people is indeed something to protest, for sure. But it does seem like those two particular girls are there just to party and virtue signl - and are not even sure which virtue they are trying to signal. Still, those two being a couple of airheads does not make killing all those people any more tolerable.

Sure, I won't disagree with that, but people are disingenuously cherry picking these random bad actors and saying that they represent everyone, no one is there for valid reasons, or that there is not even anything to protest in the first place. It's much easier to blanket statement the whole thing as antisemitism rather than reflect on what Israel is actually doing.

A belated happy independence day. Although I read that your fascists are on the way back to prominence, unfortunately like in quite a few other countries. Including mine. At least we're not getting bombed to smithereens in the name of FREEDOM just yet though.

Thanks, although I think ''Independence'' is best used to describe,say, kicking out a foreign power who rules over your country.

I guess following the Trump template really worked for these low-lives. It's basically the same crap, just slightly adapted to each country's reality. The cult of personality, the political incorrectness (''tell it like it is''), the Mexicans (we do not have many of those, but there's plenty of gipsies, Indians, Nepalese etc to go around). These guys have no political program, principles or ideals whatsoever, only shit that seems like it was lifted from far-right wing sites' commentary boxes.

My hope is that they got everyone they were going to get and there aren't any more retards coming out of the woodwork. I'm likely wrong.

My son goes to USC. It all started with the choice of the Valedictorian. Turns out she has opinions. USC didn't like some of them, some of which seem anti-Semitic. They cancelled her and people went ape-shit. He told me the majority of the protesters didn't even go to his school, just seemed like they were there to protest. The same group then moved over to UCLA.

Last night there was vandalism. I'm not sure what that does for the cause.

They have now cancelled the main graduation ceremony. I do feel bad for all of the families that are missing out if they wanted to attend. He didn't care about the main ceremony before and we were just going to the individual schools ceremony where they actually call his name and he walks across the stage. This will be his second cancelled graduation as covid did in his senior year in high school. Hopefully they don't cancel the individual school celebrations, but we are rolling with it because what else can we do.
