This isnt appeasement. Columbia has been at the forefront of cracking down on students and faculty including by direct violence.

They started under Biden already, so they only stepped up their game under Trump. This is who the university administration are. They are enemies of science, who see their job in indoctrinating rather than teaching.

They aren’t appeasing the fascists. They are willfully licking their boots.

Engineers: So we had all this complicated theory, but no one can calculate that stuff by himself. Here’s a linear aproximation formula and 50 pages of tables where you just look up the values for the factors given certain conditions.

Israel has been pretty genocidal well before Trump. Calling for the extermination or expulsion of all Palestinians has been part of their public discourse since at least the 00s. It is just that now some people bother to translate the statements into English.

Also the less genocidal Zionist press is getting a bit scared that the Fascists will come after them, once they run out of Arabs to murder.

Meanwhile there has been videos of Israeli soldiers eating food they stole from UN shipments.

Every accusation is a confession.

You say people should just give up their weapons. I used to be strictly against private weapon ownership too. Over the years, especially the last few years i see more and more of a necessity for people to be able to fight back against an overreaching government, as we have seen more and more authoritarian developments all across the “Western” nations.

This is what Marx referred to.

There is a political case for private weapon ownership. The obvious counter-argument is that people like MAGA also have weapons then and can use them. As we have seen with previous and current dictatorships, when push comes to shove the regime will quickly supply its paramilitary wings with guns, so i don’t see the benefit of preventing normal people from owning weapons in such a situation.

None of this is a judgement on the green-text, as we lack the whole picture, on whether taking the weapons from anon was justified or not. However the default assertion that people should just give up their weapons is not as obvious as you make it out to be.

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

-Karl Marx

Some people have bad radars about how dangerous the people they get in bed with are.

Some people self-sabotage by getting with toxic partners in the same pattern over and over again because they have unaddressed psychological issues.

Obviously someone in the BBC was salty that he didn’t get to write the article on Ozzies death, so he quickly edited it in the Wikipedia so he could claim the “first” bragging rights.

Americans (the European land robbing ones) used to lynch black people as a past-time well before Fox News became a thing.

And many “Musicians”. Just look at Taylor Swift. Oh how convenient if Daddy is a big shot in the industry and makes you all the connections, so you don’t have to do anything but look pretty with make-up.

Not recognizing would mean to not have any treaties with them, no general Visa rules, to limit trade, obviously no weapons shipments, denying port for any ships delivering arms to a non state actor…

You think Netanyahu, who managed to string Trump along to attack Iran, wouldn’t have managed the same with a much more Hawkish Clinton? Israel wants the US to go to war with Iran since quite a while. It would have been much easier to push Clinton to commit to full blown war, than with Trump, who for the most part pulled troops out of the Middle East. Also we saw that Trump, after the bombing immediately wanted the whole thing to be done, claimed huge success and got a ceasefire between Israel and Iran going.

It is a low bar to meet, but Clinton would have made sure to drill a tunnel to pass through under it.

In her primary race against Obama:

“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” Clinton said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,” she said.

“That’s a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic,” Clinton said.

Her vote in support of invading Iraq followed the typical lies at the time:

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists including Al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security. This is a very difficult vote. This is probably the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. Any vote that might lead to war should it be hard, but I cast it with conviction.”

Compared to a full blown invasion, boots on the ground, two decades of occupation it is.

I am not saying that Trump has shown restraint. He only has shown restraint relative to Clinton

By this logic you could also not claim that Clinton or Biden would not have done something Trump did, or had done something better instead.

Or we accept that consistent positions and behaviors of politicians can be extrapolated to hypothetical situations.

Which is undeniably bad, but nowhere close to what Clinton had envisioned. Clinton wanted more of a second Iraq invasion style war and occupation for Iran.

Clinton was avidly pro the US going to full blown war with Iran.

Compared to Clinton, Trump has shown restraint in foreign policy.

The most convenient option would be to just not do it without an explicit opt-in.

You know how most browsers offer to do it.

There was two times, he used proper curses:

In book 5 he tries to use Crucio to torture Beatrix Lestrange, but she shows him and tortures him instead, as a little boy doesnt know how to torture.
In book 6 he used Sectumsempra on Malfoy without knowing what it is and seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that most spells are just latin word. Subsequently Malfoy almost dies of bloodloss, everyone is chocked how Harry is using dark arts all of a sudden, but Dumbledore bails him out as always.
