      - What about flags painted on vehicles? -- nm - Spawn May 2, 14:17 2
        
        I believe that's a negative. -- nm - Turd Ferguson May 2, 14:30
        
        or the flags that have pictures of dogs with bees in their mouth? - Dark Callisto 🦊 May 2, 14:26
  - Those little flags you put on your side windows like moose ears cut gas mileage 10%...can't image what drag a big flag does -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 13:24
- Iirc they also have no issue with trump flag replacing it. -- nm - VMan May 2, 13:04 1

UCLA looks like a landfill after protests destroyed the campus -- (link) - Strongbad May 2, 12:36 33

- These childlike criticisms of the protests are somehow worse than the Occupy Wall Street ones. - David May 2, 12:42 29
  - Exactly. And you KNOW the right-wing and maga ecosystem are upset that this 'story' is dying out - Jovian May 2, 12:57 1
    - and CNN too. I mean the amount of time and energy *they've* spent on this story as well is staggering. -- nm - Jovian May 2, 12:59

    - This is just to say -- (link) - Reagen May 2, 12:55
    - but the protest was peaceful at UCLA. Then a mob attacked them in the middle of last night while the cops stood by. Then this morning the cops - decline May 2, 12:52 [Image] 24
      - And what happened at Columbia? - Strongbad May 2, 12:55 17

        Can't let you whatabout your way out of this. You are a liar, as I pointed out just now. Go find something else to lie about please. -- nm - con_carne May 2, 13:07 3
        
        Yes, it's obviously the Jews fault for... existing? I guess? -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:09

        Litter and sneaking into a public building don't strike me as the essential conversation topics here. - David May 2, 13:04 5
        
        I have a very hard time calling anyone advocating for Global Intifada as a "peaceful protest" -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:22 3
        
        That's your choice, but these people are asking for the stoppage of murder of Palestinian children. Why aren't we *all* asking for that? - David May 2, 13:26 2
        
        One side is advocating for extermination of the other. - Strongbad May 2, 13:30 1
        
        Our old friend duke fleed had been sending me footage of this for five years now. Bibi is the monster here. And that's on brand for him. - David May 2, 13:33
        
        Ok. -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 13:07
      - Right. It's victim-blaming and intentionally missing the point of what's happening. -- nm - David May 2, 12:53 5
        
        there’s enough blame to go around. too many demonstrators are either hopelessly naive or actually pro-Hamas in their “peaceful” rhetoric - hollywood big shot May 2, 12:57 4
        
        Yes, same as with Occupy Wall Street. Kids get into this stuff without clear ideas about achievable goals. -- nm - David May 2, 13:02 3
