    Asked what kind of protest might be appropriate, Smith cited a recent instance in an armed services hearing in which “people came in and they didn’t say anything, they just held up bloody hands. And the chairman noticed that and said, ‘You can’t do that, you’re out, and they got up and left.”

    Yes, the totalitarians are…20 year old college students who hold no actual power besides collectively being loud and demonstrating in the hopes that it’s disruptive enough to invoke change. Not the jackbooted thugs beating them with billy clubs and throwing them in a van.

      its just redfash following the natural lifespan of an anticommunist label from being used by McCarthyite Red Scare era Republicans (norm-respectable) and then by reddit radlibs with a bone to pick against leftists (atlantic-council) and then by Respected Bipartisan™ Democrats (holden-bloodfeast)

    Protesters, Smith said, “would say, ‘Children are dying. This is a huge humanitarian crisis.’ And they’re right about that … and by the way, I do have some sympathy with these people. If there are members of Congress who won’t meet with them, I meet with them. All the time. So they have an opportunity to be heard. They’re not trying to be heard. They’re trying to silence people who disagree with them.”

      It is kind of infuriating how they are always framing protest as wanting to be “heard”, with the unspoken addition “and then ignored”.

      No, people are protesting because they want the genocide to stop, not because they want some Eichmann in a suit to smile and nod politely at them for five minutes.

      Children are dying.

      I do have some sympathy with these people.

      They’re trying to silence those who disagree! About children being murdered!
