wsc Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 52 minutes ago, BenjaminNicholas said: This is both stupid and insane. Agreed, and in about the same league as John Allen Muhammad (of DC Sniper infamy) going on a hunger strike while locked up in a Maryland jail and after having already been convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in Virginia. Maybe Muhammad and Cazares can share their Darwin Award posthumously. [BTW, the objective of Muhammad's hunger strike was to get better food in the jail. You can't make this sh*t up.] marylander1940 and pubic_assistance 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeThomas Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Amazing how much space Vulture committed to this story. How about these idiots at the once great Harvard (from the Crimson)… “To send solidarity to @browndivestcoalition for their incredible hunger strike, 30+ Harvard students committed to a day-long hunger strike to prove to university corporations that we will not back down,” the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Coalition wrote in an Instagram post on Friday.

Harvard is still great, but there's always going to be the pervasive culture of 'we're an Ivy' and it prevents a lot of those kids from seeing clearly, realistically. Like most higher education, it's an extreme bubble. Edited March 5 by BenjaminNicholas MikeBiDude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soloyo215 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The whole thing looks to me like publicity stunt. The long coverage, the bragging, I mean, background stories about activism and elitism by victimhood, and the fact that not taking HIV meds is not as horrible as it was back when there was less known and less treatment for it. When I compare that action with when in the 90s people did that and actually died, or when there have been people who have set themselves on fire, or going on long hungre strikes, then you see how silly that guy looks (or should I say "those guys look"? Or maybe "guys" is not correct to use, so "those *** look"?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
