news

my heart broke listening to the Palestinian man. All his fear and pain, his desperation to keep his family fed and safe as they're trapped in the middle of a genocide.

and everything the smug fuck NPR goon was beyond enraging. good fucking riddance.

The reporter dude is beyond insane. The arrogance of crackerspaling that uhm akshually I know “your side”. Whenever the terror ends the media must trialed as well.

I really wish they had a version of every ep that just has them read out what was said or summarize cause so often I cannot make it through an episode

Titan sub pressurizes instantly

"What was that bang?"

what the fuck that was two years ago?

Higher education and academia were one of the last bastions of US soft power that people around the globe still had faith and even foolishly believe is "impartial" and not part of the US state apparatus. But October 7th and the crackdown on student encampments are opening people's eyes. And with this, an entire class of NGO ghouls and color revolutionist-in-training has been culled. No more petty bourgeois diaspora being brainwashed and send back to their home country to further mentally colonize their peers. No more failchildren of rich compradors being groomed to be the next generation of compradors.

Holy shit that's awesome, like genuinely a bullet to america's influence on developing countries' elites.

I remember reading something about how "we'll enroll your oldest son into X american elite university" was one of the most effective ways to bribe government officials into supporting american interests

This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, 'antisemitism', and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus

I wish harvard was this cool, they are not

I have said it before and I will say it again: Trump’s assault on public institutions will end with a public backlash against federalism in America. It is going to pre-emptively kill off any kind of nationalization narrative that the left has been attempting to make a case for.

It is a spectacle. It is priming the people for the eventual “mainstream” narrative that says “oh, you want your kids’ educations to be funded by the government? Look, what if just one person, you know, like Donald Trump, just like Mao in communist China, who doesn’t like your politics, who hates DEI, and decides to defund our academic institutions with world class reputation built over an entire century?”

“Trump’s reckless use of his executive power shows us exactly why the FREE MARKET, not nationalization, is the superior system. Under the free market, you will find always be able to find private investors who are fine with your IDEOLOGY, who cares about FREEDOM OF SPEECH, and therefore willing to finance your business. A true marketplace of ideas. It is exactly the opposite of Trumpian authoritarianism that Trump is attempting to emulate from the oppressive Chinese regime.”

The bourgeoisie are fully behind this.

How to destroy your own R&D base written by JDPON Don.

no more Chinese liberals getting degrees at Harvard!

so many mid-high level bureaucrats' children from third world countries enroll there. good job, only damaging U.S.' image further.

Colour revolution

Good news for those countries where the foreign students come from. Less neoliberal morons will be produced in the world

JDPON Don strikes again.

perchance

The news cycle is very overstimulating right now and there’s already too much other crazy shit for them to focus on right now. The admin decided to ban international students from Harvard (not in response to what happened they were gonna announce this either way) plus there’s no other shortage of other things to focus on.

If the administration was “smart” they would hyper focus on this and not announce any new policies until they’ve fully taken advantage of this but they’re gonna lose their window of time imo.

On the other hand I think they’re planning on essentially putting all pro Palestinian orgs on the terror list regardless in the medium term and it’s plausible this accelerates the timeline on that
