I guess Chelsea thinks she's done with one documentary about white privilege.

‘good. they should die’ jfc how do you justify saying or thinking that?? appalling

[teacoat]

people are so fucking disgusting sometimes.

[moonisaballoon]

I do wonder if I am ever going to reach a point where I'm not shocked that people will say depraved shit like that whilst clearly congratulating themselves on being the good guys. But every time, it fucks me up.

You never wanna get to a place where you're not shocked. Grip onto your humanity.

“You guys reall owe me an apology.” Shut the fuck up.

Good for those people and fuck her and everyone else in that crowd.

I’ve seen the clips on Insta (not the one OP included in post) and I didn’t know she said that!!!! Omfg never have I felt such a raging need to let Chelsea Handler know she’s not owed SHIT FROM ANYONE🤬🤬🤬🤬

Does anyone have a Columbia summary? I get more confused the more I try to read about it.

Same, and I’m not listening to propaganda that the protestors are calling for another attack on Israel/support hamas (I know that sentiment is out there but that’s not the reason for the protesting)

[kamikashi]

you can basically think of it as students protesting the viet war. they are protesting against the genocide of palestinians and one of the zionist columbia professors is calling for another kent state. and well, as usual, student protest movements tend to be on the right side of history.

My layperson understanding is this:

The university has investments and some of the investments are for defense contractors or weapons manufacturers meaning those investments are indirectly used in Palestine against people. Killing tens of thousands and also starving millions. (Famine is a weapon of war)

It’s not just Columbia. Yale and MIT do too and that’s why students are supporting the Columbia university protestors.

Besides this, the university staff (i.e. professors) have also walked out en masse after seeing the abhorrent treatment of the students at Columbia by the administration. Admin called NYPD to come (NYPD is super corrupt btw) and they arrested 108 people for protesting.

Americans have the right to protest/gather for protesting and to call out injustice. It’s in the constitution iirc. (But I am not American so if it’s not First Amendment please do correct me!!!)

It looks like folks are organising in her Instagram comments to similarly fuck up every other leg of her tour :).

[azetburcaptain]

As they should.
