We are brave leftist revolutionaries — but we don’t want any consequences!
So runs the thinking of the pro-Hamas zoomers now occupying community spaces, setting up tent encampments, scuffling with cops and threatening Jews across the country.
They object to the fact that their schools are suspending them, barring them from physical and remote class and taking other steps to discourage other people from violating the law in their noble quest to spread the good word about why backing anti-Jewish genocide is the right thing to do.
No, guys: That’s the whole point of civil disobedience.
It brings penalties and punishments with it that you then suffer like a righteous martyr to make the case that the system itself is totally broken, maaaaan.
But these kids, in addition to lacking the moral courage needed for owning such actions, are straight-up thugs, not baby MLKs.
Like Columbia’s Khaymani James, who has openly drooled over the thought of murdering Jews.
And the now-common leftist use of medical masks as identity camouflage and menace multipliers has ugly shades of the KKK as well.
It has to be said here that, at elite schools like Columbia and Harvard, a big driver of the whining about consequences by the Krazy Keffiyeh Kids has got to be fear of marks on their permanent records.
Those, you see, might interfere with them getting the high-paying jobs at Goldman Sachs, McKinsey and the like they feel entitled to.
And don’t forget the powerful lesson taught by the George Floyd riots in 2020, which saw murderous Marxists burn cities with total impunity.
But even notorious race hustler Al Sharpton groks the basics here: “If you are going to be penalized, you accept it,” he noted Monday morning on MSNBC, adding that “You expect you’re going to pay a price if you come out of the King tradition. . . . You don’t act like somebody is doing something wrong to enforce whatever the standards are.”
When you’ve lost the Rev. Al, you’ve really lost the plot.
So it’s time for the Tentifada softies to either quit the brownshirt act or face the music like adults.
