What stops the students from renouncing the protests (under duress) and then just getting back into them once they have degrees?
Although, I'd like to think that any student who defies NYU's demands will fare much better in the long run than a university that kowtows to facists
- They can just revoke their degrees... Sounds insane, but it happened already to other protesters in the US.
  
  Wow, I had not heard about this but it certainly delegitimizes other degrees that weren’t revoked.
- What stops the students from renouncing the protests (under duress) and then just getting back into them once they have degrees?
  Probably the fact that if the NYU staffers pushing this are any smart, they'll withhold the degrees for a few weeks (maybe even months) after the exam or until the protests die down anyway. Sure, they're bound to do something incredibly stupid right after, but they've got what they've got.
  
  What about renouncing them officially but then attending protests a few blocks down while wearing masks?
- Principles. You'd have to be an asshole to publicly endorse genocide
Very dark times in US
I made a new pro-Palestine Lemmy instance !altmedia@altmedia.house come by for more links. I post 10-20 every day.
- Why dont these exist on the darknet, to protect all of us?
  How does Lemmy federate over Onion Services?
  
  Need to start one on onion for doxing ICE agents.
Mask off season for the debt profiteers at the indoctrination institutes.
- Explain yourself.
  I should add that I’ve read the article, and the line you’re pushing is utter bullshit.
- Nazism is when you oppose genocide, apparently.
  
  I know right? It's ridiculous! Apparently, you're only a Nazi if you think Jewish people shouldn't be killed by the millions.
- Am I to understand that, from your perspective, every single Palestinian is actually a Hamas operative or sympathizer?
  
  Every person supporting Palestinians, too, apparently
  
  When you only support civilians in Palestine and not civilians in both countries, yeah, that dog whistle is pretty obvious.
- It's pretty wild to hear a conservative calling anyone other than themselves a nazi, tbh. Thanks for the chuckle.
  
  Yeah I had a right-wing friend who called me a nazi on facebook. Later he started texting me saying he was sorry and didn't mean it. That was one of the last straws. Dude was always a prick but he became absolute fash as an adult. Unfriended.
  But ofc I wouldn't genocide dude or put him in a concentration camp. That's literally what his gross team is doing.
- Hey, it's the Nazi apologist who constantly simps for Elon Musk!
  Here's your boy:
  You're so fragile that you had to ban the word "fascist" when you were still running your pissant little conservative community LMAO!
  
  Not once have I said anything good about Musk. Doge, sure, but Musk is still an asshole.
