Yep, same professional protestors that flooded the streets in 2020 in the BLM riots. They don't care about the cause, their goal is just to cause havok. The cause is convenient to get bodies out there so they can do things like throw bricks or light buildings on fire with cover. That's why they are violent to media, if they catch media in there filming faces they will assault them. Tbh I haven't paid much attention to these protests because they all are the same now.
This seems to be an organic, campus-based event of students who do "care about the cause" and are protesting peacefully, as opposed to going around and burning down downtown city blocks. As well many of these protests are being forcefully suppressed right now, unlike during the BLM circus.
The stuff that's being reported on astroturfed conservative sites is no better than the kind of propaganda you have on MSNBC or Fox.
All it takes is one video to spark violence, we've seen it before man. They've already blocked bridges, the day the GG was shut down must have been a nightmare for you guys down there. I just don't buy these "organic" protests anymore. Social media has made it so easy to organize these things now that you're essentially putting out the call to every type of person. They are rarely like local campus gatherings anymore. So then every cause turns into near Vietnam style protesting lol. Like I said, I don't want us funding anybody anymore.
Our country is so messed up atm, the suggestion of giving money to Ukraine and Israel is laughable. The US is coughing up 100B for ukraine, and I noticed that in the UK, they are giving Ukraine 500 million. Russia is such an existential threat to Europe that they can't barely be bothered. I love the selling point they're dropping on Americans too about how Israel is a huge supporter of our arms industry, and I'm thinking ..okay and? So if they shop in the US we give them 20B? How do americans get in on this types of purchasing power lol. I'll take my million dollar cut for shopping at Safeway.
