Not to be pedantic, but I never said to hand them anything. Fascism bad, full stop. Some, besides being bad people, are also bad dressers.

Spider-Man is a poor college kid. He doesn't have money to hire a contractor. He installed it incorrectly himself after watching a DIY video online.

The only way to make Bibi stop is with US troops on the ground. And that is not something I think anyone thinks is a good idea.

As an agnostic with Catholic upbringing (at the time and to this day), I didn't take it personally and found it amusing. If it was the same guy, he didn't deserve any assault, but some boos from the crowd seemed fair game. Especially in this topic of free speech zones on campus.

When I was an undergrad in the 90s, a West Mall preacher, invited by a student group, straight up said I had no soul. And I remember the Young Conservatives throwing tortillas at a Mexican student organization as a "protest". The take away for me was some speech is bad and should be ignored.
