re: Hamas Protest on LSU campus In Game Thread

Would LSU allow protests for drag story hour?

If so, then ok.

But progs aren't known for living up to the standards they place on others.

Banning thoughts is the most authoritarian activity possible

True. I just went by there (I’m doing a job nearby). There are about 30. They are exactly what you would expect. Skinny, nerdy, loser white guys, and fat, ugly females (I guess- I’m not a biologist), just laying around with face diapers on and using their homemade signs for shade. Very unimpressive.

Surprisingly normal, as far as I could tell.

There is a reasonable position that both disagrees with Israel's tactics and does not embrace Hamas.

Very few people occupy this space though.

The vast majority of these pro-Palestine supporters aren't saying they simply disagree with Israel's "tactics". In the numerous videos I've seen, they aggressively harass Jews walking the streets, and demonstrate a reluctance or outright refusal to condemn October 7th.

If that's not embracing Hamas, then it's surely sympathizing with them, which is a problem.

That’s largely due to the fact that they are not thinking, much like most of the posters in this thread.

Folks have been conditioned to view the world as tribal. Whatever my team says or does is always justified. They don’t know how to evaluate policies or ideas on their own merit.

so you think communism is not a threat and not harmful?

I absolutely think that and the left things conservative thought is a threat and harmful. Stop acting like leftist authoritarians.

ETA: Hell, the left is doing this to Trump and MAGA right now. They are trying to outlaw Trump, and his brand of politics, right now with their lawfare.

But you can ban a terrorist or kick out someone screaming "Death to America" That's a threat. You can say what you want, but can also suffer the consequences of what you say.

You can refuse terrorists entry into our country, "death to America" is not a threat under the law, and if you have to rely on banning speech you've already lost the culture war as banning shite like that only allows it to go underground and fester.

What is the blurred line? Public employees have a right to protest and political activity. They can even set up political protests as long as it's not done on work time. You don't lose your political, and constitutional, rights because of employment.

Political activity is limited-

Louisisana Civil Service Rule 14.1
