“I have never seen universities respond to any issue the way they respond to Palestinian activism.”
On that note, universities should really permanently get rid of management and execs that clearly don't support student open-mindedness but rather braindead obeisance. Pretty simple policy change... right?
I use transit a few times a year and drive once a week. I would absolutely pay from my property tax for fewer drivers on the road. The cost is unfortunately not reducible to some % fewer drivers on the road; that'd be more the specific project or vehicle for change, of which transit is one (of hopefully many)...
P.S. take it from the cop budget that eats half the budget. And put me on that tesseract list already!
Having read Signs of Danger by Wyck and come across the "use religion as a tool" method, my conclusion was and still is, that it's not worth the cost. You don't need to use fairy tales or tales of the boogeymen because the target audience aren't fucking children.
Authoritative religiosity has killed, kills, and will continue to kill far more than a future unlucky tribe, scientist, or archaeologist digging up some nuclear waste because present society couldn't bury it deep enough or give a bigger fk to fund a generationally self-perpetuating warning system (because that'd actually give independent power to science and rationality instead of politicians).
Even a legally "insane" defendant would most often be found to have met the "knowing" criteria; the bar is that of foresight or knowledge (including constructed knowledge in some jurisdictions) of "merely" physical harm that is likely to cause grievous injury or death. No metaphysics required.
For example, acting to cause the stoppage of breath (that "happened" to result in death) is an automatic pass for murder in many common law countries.
It will be hard for you to find an American, even a "leftist" one, who will vocally and visibly agree with you. The inculcation is too deep and too early.
All the justifications I read for keeping the boot in place is, incredibly, to keep a worse boot from presumably replacing it. What an argument.
Sometimes removing yourself from the pipeline is all a person can do. It need not even be framed as a "protest." That's just weird projection by someone who's never been in those situations (or someone who's interested in continuing to collect a paycheck while cope telling themselves they're doing "good" by staying because the replacement would be even worse or any other eyeroll ego attempt at rationalization).
Your choice of conjectures, quasi-rhetorical questions, say a lot about what you're after, which is not simply understanding but some kind of vindication.
Anyways, it is somewhat naive to believe in the myth of the incorruptible person AND that they can change broken shit fuck organizations by being in the right place. Modern systems and structures are way better at neutralizing potential rogue agents like that. One example: Shareholder desires of "value" trump other corporate considerations. It'S tHe LaW.
For your questions or pursuit of understanding, prima facie, in my opinion what can be called a proper answer are empirical, anthropological, or cultural facts, not so much a reasoning or philosophical matter. Maybe it's different now but back in my day (which was as early as 11 years ago), this information was realistically only available in colleges. Due to its highly political (or anti-political) nature, it is difficult to find in public-facing or mainstream infotainment outlets, ie anything "pop."

Yes.

"course fur"
Before AI I could just chalk it up to an intern writer or something. Now I don't know.
The best they ever have to offer is circular reasoning or no reasoning at all. Makes me wonder why they believe it.
Do they even realize when they're mixing feelings (or ideals) with facts? 🤷♂️
what the FUCK????
So... Ignoring and ostracizing say, toxic boomers, actually speeds up how fast they go away? This is great news. The teeniest bit of karma.
Traitors...?

Hilarious that "unfair" is being called, lol.
No, I don't think so. Check back in 50 years.
They always manage to live down to their reputed basebornness
I would be so triggered if this happened to me
I still did it anyway with no expectations...lucky for me it worked I think.
