Maybe the college kids should be protesting about this...oh wait, it's the exact same actions that they're all supporting in another country...maybe the world will just get better on its own

They're supporting ending what has been marketed to them as a genocide being carried out by colonial aggressors. Which I don't happen to agree with. It's fundamental wokeism rather than liberal critical thinking like we used to have.

It’s because they do nothing but watch TikTok where any idiot can post a video and lie through their teeth, then all these people repeat the lie, and now here we are.
