“I think part of the problem is young people aren’t having enough sex so they go on the hunt for fake threats and the most popular threat through history is [antisemitism].”

Galloway said American society would not survive if its people could not rally behind noble causes — adding that much of what he was seeing reminded him of the early rise of Hitler.

“It’s easy to poke fun at these kids, but history has a way of repeating itself, and this is how it starts. In ’30s Germany, a progressive community, a thriving gay community, excellent academic institutions. And how it started, was it was fashionable to wear a brown shirt and mock students at the University of Vienna,’ Galloway said.

Galloway repeated his observation which went viral this week that if students at terrorist encampments were chanting slogans calling for the death of black or gays they would be swiftly stamped out.

And that professors who did so would never work again.

      All the rags have their bias, but they arguably have more boots on the ground then me so its worthwhile source. That you know their bias lets you unfilter their reporting. Kinda of how NYT has banned the word Palestine, but is still respected world over. This is an obvious garbage article but also shows you the depths these manipulators have to go to make this not about Israel. That they are trying everything and nothing is still connecting to the average joe is pretty telling.

    Sounds like the words of someone who has never been to a protest. One of the best part of protests is the high chance of meeting someone during the protest that will lead to life-long friends and possibly even sex.

    I certainly didn’t know Hitler and the Nazi started by protesting against German for being complicit with genocide that clearly recorded and for the world to see.

    This is the most selfawarewolf shit I’ve ever seen. Galloway mocks progressive students, then comments how mocking progressive students is just like the Brown Shirts.

    I think we have a nominee for dumbest take of the century. The author, Jon Levine, can go f himself.

    On that note, how many prostitutes could you hire on a college campus for the cash saved by firing a bunch of full time cops and security personnel?

    Cuz clearly this would be a much better approach at solving the root of the problem

    I’m starting to think NY is a neo-nazi hotspot with how many of their institutions are just outright fascist.

    It’s worth mentioning that Galloway routinely describes himself as “an attention-seeking whore”.

    Why bring it up? It seems relevant if you’re deciding how much of your own energy to spend discussing this.

    And if my grandmother had wheels and could lift up to 5000 pounds, she’d be a Toyota 3-Wheel Electric Forklift.
