A history professor is abruptly leaving the U.S. after a conservative group founded by the late Charlie Kirk singled him out for persecution.

    This here is the site in question that is used to go after progressive teachers all across America.

    https://www.professorwatchlist.org/

    after the fuck’s death, people have flocked to this site to make people’s lives miserable.

    I’m calling for anyone to DDOS the site and possibly just take it the fuck down.

      I’m in Australia so I lack a lot of context. I clicked on this site and clicked on one or two random professors like this one https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/maurafinkelstein

      Very confused about why there’s a witchhunt by this organisation for people who don’t agree with Israel’s genocide of Palestinians? Wasn’t Charlie Kirk questioning the legitimacy of it all too?

      I imagine its people who just want to go work, without having cave brained cunts gluing themselves to the road. Or people who dont want their tax money repeatedly going to the same destroyed infostructure over and over again.

      Most of these “anti fascists” are only ever happy when they are disrupting the lives of everyday people. They NEVER go after the rich and shameless that are actually in a position to do something.

        Go around, protests are going to exist and the more that particular love bothers you the more it will happen because it bothers you. Infrastructure i assume and some of the time those “cunts” gluing themselves to roads are protesting just that.

        What makes you say that, let’s have an example. They do that rich people are just harder to annoy because they’re more removed from society.

          Go around… Yeah, thats not really an option, mate. And they do that on purpose. And what “love” are you talking about? Are you, like them, trying to make enemies? Screaming on buses? Breaking into trucks, and cars, and whatever else? You all can go fuck yourselves, if you think annoying people is going to get people on side.

            Yes yes in a country of mostly roads you couldn’t find another road, plausible. You’re complaining about inconvenience.

            I’m not sure what you mean about love? Ed: that’s clearly supposed to be “one” I’ll fix it but everyone else does seem to have figured it out.

            Who, when, give an example instead of ambiguous crimes that happen literally everyday.

      It’s a bit harsh to say this about someone who gives lectures about fascism (and is therefore kinda doing his part) and who might have received a few death threats by people who probably know where he lives.

      So tell me, what did you do last week to fight fascism?

        Especially considering the guy isn’t stopping classes. He’s moving them online. He’s not abandoning the fight. It limits his reach but I’m never going to fault someone for taking actions to ensure their safety when they are directly targeted.

      To be fair, he was quite outspoken and plans to continue teaching. It’s one thing to be brave without dependents, but he’s a New Jersey, public university professor with a family on a hit list. Reminder that the murderer of state Rep. Melissa Hortman also killed her husband and attempted to kill state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Hiring 24/7 security would take a large chunk out of his salary, and its very difficult to get a concealed carry license in NJ.

        Also don’t forget a sitting judge just had their house set on fire this week, and there’s still a website doxxing antifascist activitists (and not just them, but their families). Having a wife and possibly kids who have a high probability of becoming collateral damage in a terror campaign changes the math SIGNIFICANTLY - especially when an arm of the federal government (ICE) is already using the implicit threat of harm to children as leverage.
