I don't feel "right" unless I do "this" in comment "feeds" from now "on". Anyway, Chris is right (not a common trait, but then he usually argues with people smarter than him). Just because people are against the protest doesn't mean they're against the "concept" (there, did it again) of protest.
Someone put it best on the other thread, they could have done more with four days of fundraising, and not had people on the internet call them idiots.
I'm pretty sure I can live with calling these people morons. IT seems somehow you've decided that means I'm not against the attacks on Gaza, but that's where wild assumptions get you.
If that is the limit of your awareness, then that I suppose is the limit.
Political struggle as "debate"; the life of a university as "provision" to students of their expensively-purchased "education"; the bombing, enforced starvation and attempted politicide of the Palestinian people as a war between two equal "sides", in the teeth of which one should keep the newsreader's smirk on one's face and one's precious impartiality intact...
It's difficult to express "points" about the value of expressing solidarity with the oppressed, the wider purpose of the university as an institution, the moral narrowness of legalistic authoritarianism or the political impotence of procedures approved of by the very institutions one is trying to change, in the language of consumer choice and commercial interest; and difficult to express anything at all, if any other language than that is scoffed at as "pseudo-intellectual nonsense"...
So no. No thanks. I'm sorry that your tidy little world has been disturbed, sorry that petty rule-breaking upsets you so much and the deliberate starvation of civilians upsets you so little, and sorry that all you can think of to do in the face of courageous political action is sigh "oh, the irony!" and call people "morons"; but that's your decision, and you're the one who's going to have to live with it.
...not to mention feeling fit to issue a set of unreasonable demands to the university after illegally occupying their property.
What have you achieved? Nothing, only turned the university against you and been evicted, because you wanted to kick up a fuss and cause some trouble.
I wonder how many of these morons realise the irony in taking disproportionate action by illegally invading and occupying someone else's property, and then campaigning against the same thing?

Not possible, surely? :P

What can one say to such perfection?
Are you going to answer my points, or just pretend you know how I think and attack my character instead?
