@blackleftaf And Jackson State on May 15,1970
Keep AOC & the fraud squad, Jamaal Bowman & the rest of these politicians out of the encampments. The last thing that’s needed is counterinsurgency which serves only to de-radicalize movement work.
Yes Kent state but also the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre which saw the slaughter of high school and college students by the national guard.
@blackleftaf People say all these words to beat around the bush when they could just be up front and honest and say “I want Jim Crow back”
We have to stop conceding perfectly legitimate political tools to the r*ghtwing. Self-defense in ALL FORMS is valid. The opposition is going to brutalize, slander, attack, invalidate, denigrate, and otherwise commit violence against you no matter what you do so stop with the…
Nah fisticuffs coulda been engaged *as praxis*—a dialectical ass whooping, if you will. Recall that Kwame Ture said nonviolence as a tactic is predicated on your enemy having a conscience. When they prove they have none, engage cautiously but accordingly.

May we stop commending and promoting d*ckheads who say a couple good things here and there.
Wtf? And this y’all anti-Z*onist hero.
Also the very idea of “outside agitator” emanates from the position that any challenge to the prevailing social order, reigning doxa, and pedagogy of the state is foreign-inspired, subversive, and threatening to internal security.

Lmao at you dummies dusting off the 1930s playbook stupidly conflating fascism and communism while ignoring that liberalism is ACTUALLY highly amenable to fascism not least BECAUSE OF anticommunism.

@SMagoomo @blackleftaf But if one is situated the same, vis a vis violence, then one is not actually an ally. They are community.
This!
Got called “courageous” and “brave” at Dartmouth at least five times. Okay but I dream me a world in which stating the (seemingly) obvious and telling the truth is mundane and quotidian.
@blackleftaf My thought when I heard her say that: "state militarized forces don't gaf abt you being a professor", she been indoctrinated and got a wake up call
@blackleftaf SHIT!!! I just saw this. Totally would have come up! My bad
@blackleftaf When rightwing nutjobs occupied a federal building in Oregon some years back, the reason the cops let them stay until they got bored and ran out of food is because they had guns. This seems important.
@blackleftaf Only for those who havent been paying attention, the rest of us have known for years
@blackleftaf I thought he was :( but not anymore
I dream of this shit everyday. At no point is it enjoyable to be "right" about dehumanization and slaughter. Bewildering to recognize and feel compelled to voice what should go without saying, marking the historical continuity of these conditions. Generations of repetition.

Hi @Princeton, who decided that encampments are “inconsistent with the University’s mission”? As a faculty member I find students’ courageous stand against genocide to breathe life into our motto “…in service of humanity.” Unless those were just cute words for the website?
I would like to thank all those university administrators for demonstrating, without fear or equivocation, who their masters are.
The sniper, barricades, storm trooper mass arrests, pepper spraying of journalists & LOs, concerted private sector blacklisting by schools/employers/professional groups, deplatforming, doxxing, etc.—this is an all-out fascistic assault. The options are escalation or capitulation.
over a decade of yearly mass protests and we still collectively cannot recognize or intervene in the state’s shadow attempts at counterinsurgency. i understand when it’s the babies but seeing those of us who’ve been around this shit long enough succumb to this…. inexcusable
@persianjewess @AOC in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University.
@blackleftaf completely. when folks inexperienced with state repression and targeting are faced with it, unprepared, they reflexively reach for whatever social capital they can to cover themselves. The shock others are expressing at her treatment also speaks to the necessity of your point.
When people don't strike back, all that’s accomplished is the emboldenment of the enemy.
Nah fisticuffs coulda been engaged *as praxis*—a dialectical ass whooping, if you will. Recall that Kwame Ture said nonviolence as a tactic is predicated on your enemy having a conscience. When they prove they have none, engage cautiously but accordingly.
@blackleftaf People say all these words to beat around the bush when they could just be up front and honest and say “I want Jim Crow back”
@blackleftaf @PanAfriKeem I was just on a local podcast talking about how cowardly Africana folks are/can be. Speaking the truth is hard when your *trained* impulse is to position, to brand.
Out of the many failures the US left has committed to organizing a true movement, not believing in ALL FORMS of self defense has to be one of the most egregious. The state only knows and understands one language at the end of the day. Speak their language.
We have to stop conceding perfectly legitimate political tools to the r*ghtwing. Self-defense in ALL FORMS is valid. The opposition is going to brutalize, slander, attack, invalidate, denigrate, and otherwise commit violence against you no matter what you do so stop with the…
