Everyone dogpiled on Yeezy and yet here we are. Over and over and over again.
Wtf does a rich asshole have to do with college students being arrested like it’s Kent State in 1970 all over again?

They intentionally conflate two things :

  • Violence against civilians
  • Support for Hamas
  • Could they separate them? Yes, but then it would make 1 harder to justify. Combining 1 and 2 into one idea is a way for people to avoid the cognitive dissonance that comes about when encountering a difficult idea.

    In short, we are witnessing a psychological defense technique.

    Why are they being arrested?
    Because the city banned camping so they can arrest protestors.
    What were the protestors protesting?
    An easy block here.
    I don’t give a flying fuck.
    The israeli genocide :)

    Worth noting it’s called the “Kent State Massacre” because the students weren’t just arrested.

    Sadly it won’t be surprising if things escalate to that point but thankfully we aren’t there now…

    If I’m understanding what you’re not flat out saying, I think we need a reminder that: Jews ≠ Israel.
    You should remind the police that.
    You can pick a better source on that one. Citing Yeezy isn’t a way to build credibility.
    Oh man, why did they dogpile on the guy who loves the genocidal mustache man, only to go out and protest against genocide??? Why cant they hate jewwwwwws like meeeeee.
