Can we talk about the skirt/shoe combo on this person? Where's Chud? Also, to be clear, college education for everyone is not the outcome we're seeking with this movement. |

really that's it, isn't it? now is their chance their 'enemy' is visible and looking for a fight no more blaming the amorphous NYTimes / liberal elites in conceptual form their 'problem' is right there - in one bigass loud crowd on the street hard to miss and instead of getting up in their business, they are just sitting idle and letting them run amok unchecked |

You can't get tenure without at least one statue tear-down. |

I wonder if learning what academia is really like would be upsetting to you guys. There's like two dudes in the entire country who do riots, otherwise it's a bunch of libs who make Facebook posts |

They face disproportionate challenges, because they own property and are absolute human wreckage.” The Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer groups are the only vaguely righty groups I am aware of that even bother with protests/ inevitable street fighting. The march for life and other mainstream righty protests are too mundane and ineffective to even get "diversity of tactics" shit aimed against it. Proud Boys/ PP are also the only ones too dumb to see that there is no upside. Those with shit to lose stay home. IF the right could organize in a way to mitigate the risks of street action, but more importantly, organize pressure campaigns (see sleeping giants) maybe they wouldn't be so incredibly feckless and doomed. Separate from all that, certain kinds of lefty political violence are quickly forgotten and forgiven: see the SDS/ Weather Underground. |

The reality is that it’s hard to produce protests of significant size without a hell of a lot of young people involved. Fewer than 1/3 of those who say they protested in recent months was over the age of 40. Perhaps more importantly, the average age of an organizer is 28. The current conservative movement is far too dependent on the over 50 crowd to expect that it can deliver an effective protest movement of its own. |
