They're probably furious that Brown broke ranks even with offering the most meaningless token of concessions, and even though that meaningless concession basically diffused the whole protest movement on their campus.

where'd all that america-first nationalism go as american cops threaten and brutalize american universities because american students are protesting mass slaughter being perpetrated by a foreign middle eastern country with a hysterically corrupt leader?

Everything is violence except state violence, which is Always Great

Oh yeah, the overwhelming opinion right after was Kent state victims "had it coming."

That said, I'm hopeful that exactly the lesson of popular opposition to Vietnam being in living memory and the decades of hindsight filled with popular media has given folks some perspective.

I just wish we could skip ahead to the part where all the people ghoulishly backing the slaughter make up the polite social fiction that they were always down with the right side of history and progress was achieved through the correct channel of bourgeoisie electoralism instead of waiting decades.

Anyone who looks at kids protesting nonviolently & getting truncheoned and thinks "the kids who are going to be proven to be on the wrong side of history" is probably not reachable in the first place.

I think it's generally positive to see a massive wave of protest in the country making the bombs.

I think even if it's a bit cynical, there's value in leveraging what works to move the sympathy needle.

If a handful of assassinated NGO workers or some privileged college students subject to (comparatively) mild state violence is the bit that turns the gears of public engagement, then lean in.
