I saw news coverage of the protests going on at Columbia, Harvard, and other universities for Palestine and frankly I was taken aback by the way it was covered. I remember that in 2019 when the Hong Kong protests were going on, the news coverage was entirely supporting the protestors and how brutal the Hong Kong government and police were. Now, the coverage for the campus protests are spending much of the time talking about the how the protests are creating an unsafe environment and other negative views. When I look at the videos of police activity on the university campuses here, it doesn't look any better than that of police in Hong Kong in 2019, but I hear nothing in the media about police brutality now whereas in 2019 you would be skewered if you dared say anything positive about the police in Hong Kong. WTF. Yeah I know I know, I'm not allowed to say this in the "land of the free". This post makes me a CCP troll, a wumao, a Ruzzian bot, a Hamas terrorist supporter, and an antisemite who deserves to be banned from Blind.
The vast majority of Americans think the protests are stupid rich kids who don't know what they are even speaking out against.
Some speeches are more free than others.
Because these protests are being funded by Iran and the supporters are screaming “kill all Jews”. Big difference from Hong Kong.

Bernie for Trump
An estimated 12% of people who voted for Bernie in democratic primaries voted for Trump on election day.
Mostly agree. These protesters are future mayors, senators and other politicians either all the training they are getting in college.
Hahaha, peloton offering jobs
@Peloton first get to Bill Ackman’s level of wealth to start issuing threats to those exercising their first amendment rights 😄
Ok, let's not go full head in the sand here either, the amount of Gaza graffiti is off the charts. Destruction of public property is a thing, they aren't just having sit-ins or marching. Nvm the worse stuff like that one Columbia dude calling for people to become matryrs
My point is the reputation of not being peaceful protests is very much earned. No astroturfing required.
Bunch of entitled kids being pimped by Islamic republic of Iran and too dumb to know it. Sprinkle in some Arabs and self hating caucasians wearing Hamas gear chanting ceasefire and bomb Tel Aviv at the same time. openly supporting a terrorist group that started a war by massacring 1200 people, raping and kidnapping hundreds. Doesn’t really give anyone Hong Kong vibes bro.
Yeah bro, they are not as peaceful as zionist thugs attacking students on campuses, not as resilient as IDiapF soldiers murdering kids, and not as rights as hypocritical PoSs legitimizing a murder while being so so offended by some chants… And they are literally the students of the best schools in US but at the same time too dumb to understand Iran is in their brains God knows how… Yeah bro…
You can burn American flags and destroy cities in the name of "racial justice" but you arent allowed to assemble and protest the israeli government. The woke zionist right has embraced cancel culture.
Freedom of speech is a big lie. Just some countries are better lairs than others.
