As a history teacher, the part where they mentioned historians having a greater idea of context really got me. It’s frustrating that people with actual knowledge on trends throughout history are being discounted by people who just happen to be louder and more violent.

Oh man. Thank you for sharing your thoughts *and data* about this. The discussion about being gaslit was so comforting because I feel like we really are being expected to love Biden just because he's not Trump. None of Biden's words or actions are supposed to be questioned so long as we're "saving" democracy from Trump. 🙄🫤

None of this is to justify the police raids on students who definitely belong there, nor to imply that the content of the protests is not at least part of the disproportionateness of the response, but: another angle as to why this is being treated with such harsh measures is its coincidence with commencement season, which universities also use as a way to lure donors in. Again, none of this makes it any better or less fucked up, but it does make sense that increasingly disconnected (from academic life) administrators would over react when seeing one of the major events of their year threatened.

Thanks for taking the time to make this episode. It was comforting knowing that I wasn’t the only one feeling completely gaslit by the media. Also, if I had to listen/read one more “liberal” be incredibly condescending to college students, I was going to throw my computer out the window.

You guys rock. Listening to you reminds me I’m not crazy when trying to process all the fucking terrible things I read in the news everyday about our country.

Conspiracy brain: ALL of this noise about the protests is to distract from the Trump trail, and to enrage leftists and liberals in an attempt to swing the election in Trump's favor.

Some of the left leaning subreddits I follow are getting very anti protest and very pro Israel over the last few days. It's really troubling. They're parroting conservative talking points about BLM back in the day.
