Also, there's no draft -- yet. The Vietnam War included a draft that killed 50,000 Americans. The campus protesters were anti-war protesters whose lives, or the lives of people they loved, were in imminent danger, dying for some hawks' stupid geopolitical theory.

Isn't that gross? And with far fewer rights than they had in the beginning of the Israel protests too, all hastily stripped from them by the very elected Dems who now want them to go out and be human shields for the geopolitical shitshow they aren't willing to try to stop

I've been seeing the past few months on ****book a spate of posts excoriating people who refused to vote for Harris because she backed a genocide, as if the protesting were worse than the backing of a genocide. It's enraging.

The young people who protested the Israel genocide were not supported by the democrats or republicans because they both take money from AIPAC !
We have to make them stop taking money from Israel !

in a way makes me think of the generational sense of ownership over protest in the '60s as though having been a young person at the time means you were showing up
