US Judge Cautions Against Deporting Student Anti-War Protesters
While establishment media applauds a judge's 'progressive' stance, let's remember the recent past. The same political establishment that now 'considers' protecting student speech just months ago watched as campuses became battlegrounds, with police, SWAT teams, and even snipers deployed against peaceful anti-war demonstrators. This isn't newfound benevolence; it's a strategic retreat after PR
disasters where images of students brutalized for protesting a war funded by US tax dollars went viral. It’s hard to deport an entire generation when they’re pointing out the emperor has no clothes (and a rather bloody checkbook). This 'concern' for students only surfaces when their demonization risks exposing deeper hypocrisies. Contrast this with the 'swift justice' meted out to whistleblowers
or independent journalists who similarly challenge power structures, often facing years of legal persecution. Funny how principles of free speech suddenly apply when the optics of mass student deportations become too unpalatable for a nation that claims to champion democracy abroad.
