This society is continuing to move along as multiple gens happens and our tax dollars are funding many of them. There are just some folks continuing to uphold humanity and not allowing the rest of us to ‘move on.’ the nature of protest is to disrupt and disturb. Note the recent self-immolation.

Whatever side you're on, if you're attacking libraries, you're in the wrong *MUTING NOW*

Yeah it's crazy how much damage the cops did to that building.

From what I understand, a good portion of that damage was done by the cops when they violently invaded the protest, breaking windows & beating people up. Maybe the money to fix the library should come from our inflated police budget? And from the PSU president's salary for calling the violent thugs.

This is the way to get everybody who might be on your side to be against you. Protest should be about effectively building political power, not mindlessly eroding it out of frustration.

I support direct action, but these performative displays to "raise awareness" are just people trying to feel like they did something. Everyone knows. They picked a side already, and fucking up libraries (or Stonhenge) is pointless when factories and pipelines exist. These people aren't serious.
