Boycott them.
Morons. Educated people are the one's seeking higher education and educated people tend to trend left on the political spectrum. Capitulating to a far right administration just guarantees that their donors are going to decline and their enrollment is going to tank.
You think their billionaire donors veer left? Lmao. You are all getting shafted because of how naive you are.
I'm getting a lot of use from my old comment:
So many people, businesses, and countries have given Trump BJs to stay in his favour and all it does it show him he can come back and bully them again for more.
But I'm sure it'll work out this time.
replace trump with putin and it's the same. Ain't that a coincidence
Stupidly paying for blackmail by a pedophile
Our institutions are bending the knee to a felon rapist traitor pedophile protector who flagrantly violates our Constitution and rights.
If we get through this and back on a proper democratic course, Columbia needs to be investigated and the people at the top of that organization's structure need to be removed from their positions.
I'm sorry but I have to say this out loud, I cannot think it any longer..
Americans in general are a bunch of fucking coward losers. They can't stop boasting about what heroes they are, they can't stop making movies about the typical American boy from the corner who saves the world who never gives up, who will never bend the knee...
Cue vinyl record scratch
Welcome to the real world! Here we see Americans handing over all their rights with smiles on their faces. Here we see one company after another bending the knees giving gifuckingnormous amounts of money to a fascist dictator king, firing people that the king doesn't like (Hey Colbert, go get em!), jumping on and harassing minorities because its easy...
Police forces are always shown to be these pensative well rounded guys who would always do the right thing... HAH! Real world police in the US is just a bunch of coked up racists with an attitude problem and murder fantasies.
Like, seriously, the movie US is so extremely far removed from the real world that the movie US is just a joke now. Americans aren't the heroes. They never were, but if by now anyone still actually believes that propagandistic movie bullshit about how the mighty US military will save the day, then I have a really nice bridge to sell you in my backyard. Just pay me and I'll show you.
No one has been stepping up to stop the rise of fascism in the US and trump has been speed running it, blitzkrieging it because he has met zero fucking resistance.
Fuck, Americans always love to bitch on the French for being cowards (for no reason whatsoever) but you know what the French do when they don't like the government? They fucking paralize the country if they have to. They will not fucking stop.
Americans? Well, there was that no kings protest, which was "meh" big in comparison to other protests that I've seen, and here and there there have been people singing, and dressing up and.... Did fucking nothing. Those no kings protests? One fucking day, and that's it. I'm sure Trump peed his pants a little, seeing those protests, and I'm also sure it was from laughing.
You have fascism rising like a rocket, people are being kidnapped in daylight by non uniformed armed guys, and you let it happen
Fucking. Cowards.
You always pretend to be the big hero that makes the ultimate sacrifice, you always boast about it ad-nauseum, THEN WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU, NOW THAT THE WORLD NEEDS YOU?
You can barely be bothered to protest
Americans are fucking cowards, sorry.
The No Kings protest was the 3rd largest American protest in history:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size
It was close to 12 million people (3.5% of the population) across 2100 cities. (12 million is a conservative average of 5000 people showing up in each city, with obvious larger crowds at most)
What the fuck are YOU doing to fight fascism exactly? Watching it on TV and being disappointed Americans aren't doing it better?
Why are you NOT in America fighting the fascism there yourself?
MAYBE you are just UNINFORMED on what Americans are doing, and staying that way so you can bitch on the internet we aren't stopping fascism fast enough for you to not be scared by it.
Fascism made sure we're too busy being jailed, becoming homeless, and dying from a lack of health insurance to fight it harder, but we still fight, certainly harder than your comfortable ass is.
Come fight fascism here yourself if you don't think we're doing it good enough for you. You're not a coward right?
Can't really argue.
I mean people have a lot to lose. People have families and jobs and property. I understand being scared to risk that speaking out against fascism.
But we've already lost rights. Our Constitution is being repeatedly violated. And once a set of rules is violated, it's real hard to get back to a place where those rules are respected and enforced again. History has shown us that what we're experiencing is the beginning of authoritarian control. If we don't stop it now, things are going to get a lot darker and a lot harder to get back to normal.
So yeah, despite understanding the implications of resisting, I have to agree, as an American, that we're a bunch of pussy ass cowards right now and if we don't change that soon, that's what we're going to become instead of just being what we're acting like right now.
I understand that protests are happening, but that's not enough to stop the march of fascism. They'll just ignore it until we make it so they can't.
Exactly. Americans are insanely cowardly nowadays.
And there goes my respect for Columbia University. To the warning track! To the wall!! . . IT'S GONE!
So they pay some money in order to receive some money
It's a money laundering scheme. Somebody got to get their vig. Y'know, wet their beak? You get it, no need to mention it again.
Just rename it “Trump University” and have done with it. That’s how people will be referring to it anyway.
This shit is so corrupt its reaching putin levels of dictatorship
Oh nooooo. The Zionists were called mean things by their coworkers. How fragile, that they need millions of dollars because they support genocide and war crimes.
Fuck those people. I am learning and not using the J term anymore. Because not all Jewish folks support this genocide. But I still have only met fervent psychopaths who are Jewish and support this genocide.
I’d love to see more messaging from anti-zionists Israelis. They need to get even louder. Fuck these zionists.
Because not all Jewish folks support this genocide.
I doubt even most Jews support the genocide.
But I still have only met fervent psychopaths who are Jewish and support this genocide.
You should get a load of the cynical zionist xtians that look forward to the protagonist from their little book club coming back. The Jews need to be in Israel according to this ridiculous narrative. Of course, in this fairy tale, some number of Jews convert to xtianity, the rest are condemned to an eternity of torture. Because that's a great moral system...and if genocide of Palestinians needs to happen in the service of this stupid fantasy, well, them's the breaks.
God I hate all religions so much. I look down on people that need a fairy tale to be a good person. Imagine what we could do with this world if we didn't have tards ruining everything.
Step outside
Stop raping children before you murder them Zionist.
Haha what the fuck
Where does the 220 million go?
You may not know this but Columbia had departments that used to be one of the loudest voices against Palestinians genocide.
They were the home of Edward Said, a Palestinian American, who through sheer intellectual force changed an entire academic discipline, by pointing out the majority of Western "Orientialist" studies were nothing more than a thin veneer for racism.
Few people have done more for me intellectually. That's what makes this such a tragedy. They were the backbone of a nuanced view on the middle east even very recently.
What is that 220 million going to be spent on?
Columbia is playing a long game. They know they are going to outlive HitlerPig, as are the rest of the institutions he is shaking down. They only have to outlast him, and the moment there's a change in regime for any reason, they'll sue the government for billions for extortion, and win.
