It is now officially a banana republic.
I could go on but why bother? Our national leadership is sophomoric, stupid, crude and mean. They don’t even bother to pretend to be dignified adults anymore. Our world is run by shitposters.
Update —
A Rutgers University professor is temporarily relocating to Europe as he grapples with threats that intensified after a student group affiliated with the organization founded by murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk accused him of being “a prominent leader of the antifa movement on campus”.
Rutgers’ Turning Point USA chapter also says the presence of Mark Bray – whose work has closely examined antifascist movements – threatens them and is calling for his firing from the New Jersey university, prompting the academic to say those demands are little more than “manufactured outrage”.
“I am not now, nor have I ever been, part of any kind of antifascist or anti-racist organization – I just haven’t. I’m a professor,” Bray said on Monday about the circumstances. Noting that antifa is a decentralized movement, he added: “I’m a professor of the history of the left.”
A Change.org petition calling for the termination of Bray’s employment at Rutgers came Thursday, several weeks after Kirk – the founder of Turning Point USA – was shot to death by a sniper on 10 September.
Turning Point USA has chapters at various college campuses. And the treasurer for the chapter at Rutgers, student Megyn Doyle, told Fox News Digital that the petition was made necessary by the fact that Bray “puts conservative students at risk for antifa to come in”.
“You have a teacher that so often promotes political violence, especially in his book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, which talks about militant fascism, which is on term with political violence,” Doyle said.
Bray countered that he is an antifascist “insofar as I don’t like fascism”. But he denied that he is a threat to conservative students
