    Tbf though this is non-lethal stuff. And I don’t know that much about American police, but maybe it’s not such a bad idea universities don’t let them handle crowd control? I hear they don’t have the best track record.

    (I get that in an ideal world universities shouldn’t arm themselves against their students, but come on, Jeff from the economics department is a real douchebag, and ever since he has been hanging around with those extremists he is becoming more and more unhinged)

    Problems start when the people coming in don’t share those sentiments and instead want their authoritarian culture to replace and dominate.

    Edit: also, in the West democracy and equality have become part of our culture and tradition, for the most part, and those values just are not shared by lots of migrants. And you can’t tolerate those values being replaced. It’s the paradox of tolerance.

    I think it’s partly leftover dribble from the inane Gaia “theory” that was so strong in hippie circles. Everything natural (like bacteria in milk) is good, and you know, gut bacteria, yogurt, 's all good, right?

    Combine that with “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” beliefs that they don’t realize come from right wing nuts and you got a perfect diarrhea inducing cocktail that we all get to pay for with our taxes and our nerves.
