Did you read about the Harvard and Columbia law students who had their job offers rescinded because they signed a letter critical of Israel’s actions?

The letter was severely lacking in tact. No employer cared they were critical of Israel, but the timing of the letter was obviously going to raise eyebrows.

I would expect the same reaction if right after 9/11, a group released a statement saying the US brought the attack on itself.

Yeah I’m thinking I’ll keep my thoughts on MBS killing an American journalist and Putin being insane and Xi being an existential threat to both his people and liberal democracies the world over and the blood on Modi’s hands as he turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to Muslims being slaughtered by Hindus in Gujarat while he was head of that state not to mention his ties to the Hindu gestapo the RSS, to myself.

I am far too dependent on being employable to be able to say what I think without consequence. I’m not rich enough to be able to be free enough to do that.
