Because blacks are too fucking lazy to do the commute.

BLM is mostly rich white liberals.

They wouldn't have to commute at all.

They don’t attack their bosses

They go wherever the organizers paid by Open Society Foundation tells them to go.

Booger is probably right, Occam's razor.

This time they did in NYC. They got to SOHO and 6th avenue in NYC.

I live near Trenton, NJ which is so shitty it looks like downtown Baghdad. They looted Trenton the first night but were shut down pretty quickly (funny how with no media standing in the way acting as human shields how fast this got put down). Well, the next night, me and 3 adjacent towns were put under curfew because they planned on targeting our towns. But with a curfew in place (and no protestors), they weren't able to. I listened to the police band the entire night. The looters had scouts scouting out all the strip malls. But the police were able to go to them immediately and chase them away because of curfew. Funny how without "peaceful protestors" violating curfew, you can't loot.

Nearby, there is an uber rich town, Princeton. It's literally impossible for them to come in. They have a choke point at the main road in that they would have to cross. They would have been arrested immediately. Rich white liberals are have had NIMBY procedures in place for decades. That's why they held at 500 person 9 minute kneel in Princeton. They are all guilty of being racists and they know it....so they have to try to convince themselves that they are not racist.

I was present for a riot in the 90s when I was in 6th grade. It was the MTV sports festival in Belmar, NJ. Kriss Kross was scheduled to perform. Bill Bellamy and Dan Cortez were there. Super soakers were all the rage. There was a group of women who set up a table selling supersoakers. Well, the black people there bought them, went over to the next store and bought bleach. They started firing bleach onto the crowd from the Boardwalk and it was an instant riot. It happened so damn quick. There were no signs of unrest prior to that. Of course, they announce over the PA that the performance is cancelled and that just fueled it even more. The funniest part about it was that the neighboring town, Avon, which is fairly wealthy, the first thing they did was raise the drawbridge that connected to Belmar so they couldn't spill over.

I've lived in crime infested areas for 1/3 of my life. Only a closet racist would feel the need to mourn the death of a career criminal, apologize for it, and organize a protest in the safest part of town. None of these rich white liberal protesters will set foot in the ghetto.

Harvard is named worst school for free speech — scoring zero out of possible 100

The Ivies are returning to their roots, aka, a separate university internally for the handshake societies, dynastics and elites with 'secret' knowledge and technologies, and the 'NASCAR' brand name sticker aspiration for the deluded meritocracy applicants whose job is to toe the line for standardized knowledges and mendacious histories designed for the consumption of the masses. Talented and compliant technocrats, lawyers, business types etc. may gain admission to an intermediate layer of functionaries and apparatchiks.

What 'free speech' challenges is what they want to hide.

Exactly.

Let me point out that competence keeps society running, not credentials.

We are at an inflection point, like the USSR had.

If they wanted to inject the population with a vaccine that did whatever, they would have created an actual disease that actually was dangerous. They failed at that. With a disease that was actually a threat, the propaganda box would have been able to convince people to get an injection that actually stopped transmission - they would have been consistent and credible with it. They failed with that. If the vaccine was intended to kill, it would kill, and with a near 100% vaccination rate, nobody would have known it was the vaccine. They failed with that.

Perhaps the refusal to accept competent people into the system, has doomed the oligarchy. Have you considered that?

I do not think this "pandemic" went as planned, at all.

I fall into the trap myself that the people at the top are "really smart, very competent" - more likely, I'm vastly over-estimating them. I over-estimate the general population after all. Who would have thought people would believe "the unvaccinated pose a threat to the vaccinated"? - but I've seen this myself. I was barred from a house because I wasn't vaccinated. Her husband's father is a PhD biologist, and HE believed it. How can he not understand the BASIC biology I know? He doesn't!!!!!

I'm finding out that a "jack of all trades, a master of none" is extremely rare. Polymaths are incredibly rare. I'm a very stupid polymath, and a jack of all trades, a master of none. Then I worry about the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and wonder where I'm in that. This is my source of self doubt.

I always think I have more to learn, because I think I'm stupid in everything other than my specific field. If I don't do this, I will conclude I have nothing left to learn, no matter how much I know. I need to retain my feeling of ignorance.

Two lawyers who famously drew weapons on BLM thugs lived in an upscale gated community, didn't they?

https://anarchonomicon.substack.com/p/short-take-abolish-section-8

Americans debate housing like mad and wring their hands at young people unable to afford or even rent in major, economically relevant metro areas...

Yet they don't talk about the program systematically destroying neighborhoods, rendering vast swathes of those metros unlivable, and consuming vast amounts of housing that could be occupied by hard-working working productive young people... but is instead being occupied by criminals, drug dealers, and people who sexually abuse their children and those of others.

Section 8 housing.

Every major American city, even the most expensive, has massive sacrifice zones where housing and rents collapse in value, little circles of what on a map might look like affordability, but in reality, are hellish neighborhoods filled with people who disproportionately don't work and bounce in and out of prison and hospital consuming massive amounts of taxpayer resources and rendering massive areas around wherever they are unlivable for normal decent human life.

Families, young women, and even men of a suitably unfrightening demeanor cannot live in these neighborhoods, in what should be some of the most expensive real estate in the world in easy access to major metro areas, often walking distance to important downtowns and job opportunities...

Why do Americans tolerate this!?

One key to understanding these very bad neighborhoods next to very expensive neighborhoods is that the rich need someplace for their servants to live.

If the neighborhood were not so bad, then the rich would have to do without their servants, or would have to pay much more for those services. Both are unacceptable to the rich.

And so the rich actually want very bad neighborhoods nearby, and have a motive to encourage all kinds of violence and crime there, so that they can pay low wages to their servants.

Same reason applies to illegals. Don't even have to pay taxes.

Those neighborhoods are funding the mayhem. The intent is to psychologically abuse poor blacks. It's in Democrats DNA, going all the way back to their formation of the KKK. They are evil vile bastards period! Any registered Democrat should be ashamed of themselves.

See above link

Looks like people of color operated in an organized mob to loot from white liberal stores (Apple and Lululemon) in Philadelphia

Why can't they just rob the vape and liquor stores or the pawn shops ?

.

Looting the white liberal stores is a good start towards getting liberals enlightened about the results of their policies.

But looting, say, Harvard Square and the dorms in Harvard Yard would be so much more effective.

Let's pray that they do it!

True Patrick. I wish the LA riots after the Rodney King trial would have continued through the posh white liberal enclaves like Hollywood Hills, Bel Air and Beverly Hills as well as Laguna Beach

At least we got the Rooftop Koreans from all that

NOT that I particularly want to defend the reprehensible KKK, but I want to point out what their origins are.

They were not a group of people attacking black men in the late 1800's. They were a vigilante group that went after carpetbaggers from the North who were stealing property and land after the Civil War.

It was later they were taken over by the government, the Democratic side in particular, in the early 1900's to prevent blacks from voting, which they would naturally vote Republican because "Lincoln freed the slaves" - in reality, Lincoln didn't free anybody. The 13th amendment was passed after he was dead. Lincoln was not the "great emancipator", he (like just about everybody at the time) was a complete racist. He was such a racist, that the idea that blacks and whites should live together was an abomination to him. He planned to export them to Liberia. Blacks were even offered, I think $100 (maybe $200) to move to Liberia, and that was a considerable sum of money in GOLD back then, about $10K today.

The KKK was infiltrated and destroyed in the 1960's. What is the KKK today, is run by the Feds. It no longer exists as an organization.

If that happened, you'd see suddenly, the police can be very effective.

Also forgotten is they were anti-Catholic as well, which was the top concern of the KKK in places like Indiana and Oregon, where they existed in surprisingly strong numbers, despite the lack of Negro population (most US urban areas had very few Blacks until after WW2; NYC wasn't even 10% Black in 1940)

Yes, and most "Right Wing Extremists" are. Ray Epps was in one of these groups as well, and several other high leadership in these groups are almost certainly Feds. FakeRiot front are Feds with a handful of useful idiots.

I see you've been bamboozled by Liberal revisionist History. Lincoln and his administration, were abolishing Slavery mainly because the South had an unfair economic advantage over the Northern states. Now he could have just expanded slavery to the Northern states if it were purely over economics.

Who would want to publicly self identify as a conservative or moderate at an Ivy League ? That is like shooting yourself in the foot as far as exposing yourself to future abuse and reprisals.

I suspect the polls were taken in private but no way would a lot be confident in identifying as not liberal or moderate during polling.

didn’t know they pay no taxes. it’s like half the corporations out there, they pay none, but do want tax dollars routed to them.

Patrick says

https://truthsocial.com/realDonaldTrump/posts/114342374504628520

Nothing should be tax exempt if we're going to continue having them. We paid $72k this year ($1k owed and $72k withheld). Churches, universities or whatever that are exempt should be done. Pay what a business does.

Trump wants a good economy, I'm the family that spends and generates work and business for others. I should be paying 1/4 of that. Makes me want to puke just typing this. More tax cuts need to be coming. If I had $50k more in my pocket I have plenty of things I could buy.

I have no problem putting a piece of the pie in for national defense. I'm at the stage of life I can afford things and will buy. I'm not religious so I don't waste money there. I like Trump, but he's got to make bigger and bolder changes. Tariffs are fine, but too many organizations skate free without paying taxes. And I'm independent but this is the liberal side of me. Difference is I actually pay. 50% of those Trump flag neighbors pay no taxes.

But the truth is, you could run Harvard better than its current management. I will prove it by starting with the end. Near the top of the article, the Times reported “Dr.” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said in a brave statement yesterday that, “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said.

He used the classic rhetorical triad, a grouping of three things that somehow provides an appearance of intellectual heft but is really just a cheap trick that we all use for convenience, economy, and cognitive sloth. (See?) Anyway, Alan complained the Trump Administration was “dictating” (a dictator!): (1) what it can teach, (2) who it can admit and hire, and (3) which areas of study it can pursue. A neat little what-who-which triad.

The problem is, the Trump Administration’s five-page letter, which was actually linked by the article (but never directly quoted), omits any of President Gerbil’s three claims. In other words, he’s either lying, or he never actually read the letter and he just made all that up out of his feverish imagination. Actually, I beleive he never read it. ...

https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/092f8701fdf305fd/4d7d152d-full.pdf

But set that micro-controversy aside. The Trump Team’s letter is itself a masterwork of dark comedy, because by about the middle of page two you laughingly begin to realize that there is no way Harvard would ever agree to it, not because of how unreasonable it was, but just the opposite. It was hyper-reasonable.

Which makes the whole fracas into classic Trump 2.0— not only can’t Harvard agree to the terms, but they can’t even talk about the terms, since everyone sane outside academia’s withered-ivy halls would instantly side with the President.

“In recent years,” the letter begins, assuming a high academic tone, “Harvard has failed to live up to both the intellectual and civil rights conditions that justify federal investment.” It’s beyond me how a country with $40 trillion in debt can afford to chuck billions at universities in annual “grants” that disappear right down the colleges’ memory holes every single time. But whatever. Let’s see what the Trump Team did ask for, shall we?

Here’s a partial list, but enough to give you an idea of how badly out of control Harvard U. actually is:

“Merit-Based Admissions Reform.”
“Merit-based hiring reform.”
“Harvard's plagiarism policy be consistently enforced.”
“Prevent admitting students hostile to American values and institutions.”
“Report to federal authorities … any foreign student, including those on visas and with green cards, who commits a conduct violation.”
“Viewpoint Diversity in Admissions and Hiring.”
“Audit programs and departments that most fuel antisemitic harassment or reflect ideological political capture.”
“Discontinue DEI.”
“Enforce its existing student discipline policies with consistency and impartiality, and without double standards based on identity or ideology.”
“Intervene and stop disruptions or deplatforming.”
“Forbid funding of any student group or club that endorses or promotes criminal activity, illegal violence, or illegal harassment.”
“Whistleblower Reporting and Protections for those who report noncompliance with the reforms detailed in this letter.”
“During the reform period, share progress data with the federal government for audit, and on a non-individualized basis with the public.”
My favorite: “Harvard must implement a comprehensive mask ban with serious and immediate penalties for violation, not less than suspension.”

In other words, this wasn’t a list of kingly demands. It was a corporate HR memo from Planet Earth. Harvard, come in, Earth People need you.

Despite President Gerbil’s breathless hysteria, nowhere in the letter did the Trump Administration try to tell Harvard (1) what it can teach, (2) who it can admit and hire, or (3) which areas of study it can pursue. You’d think the Times’s fact-checkers might have felt something squirming in their bowels. But no. Instead, the paper excreted a long diatribe about President Gerbil’s flawless courage and his fearless academic integrity.

See? Running universities and major newspapers is easy. You can just bravely make up whatever you need to fit your narrative.

The good news, unmentioned by the Times, is that the Trump Administration’s maximalist but commonsense demands for reform will never, ever be accepted by the University, which means taxpayers will recover a tidy $2.2 billion a year.

Well, the letter did say that Harvard should not admit students who are hostile to American values and institutions.

This is my favorite demand as well:

Harvard must implement a comprehensive mask ban with serious and immediate penalties for violation, not less than suspension.

No fucking masks, ever.

Patrick says

No college should get a dime, period if they're not paying taxes from the federal government, yet charging tuition. Let the states figure it out and make sure there's clear accounting of money and it's not federal.

I'd rather have federal money, IF we spend it, goes to military or local projects like parks, library, etc. Basically places the public might use daily. Those without kids might not realize the value of this. I'm not going to Harvard and would have to pay anyway. That makes no sense. Shit, I'm getting all liberal today.
