Decades from now, the polite mainstream will claim the legacy of the protester who stands bravely against the jeering white boys - just like it currently claims the legacy of protesters who stood bravely decades ago. But let’s remember where the polite mainstream stands in the moment.

I doubt this is going to have the same cultural footprint as the civil rights or Vietnam protests. They protest is for a war waged by another country, that we have no troops involved in. By next year everyone will have forgotten this happened.

I note that 58% of those polled by Gallup after the Kent State shooting said that the National Guard was justified.

Notice that the headline in the article that this photo came from (there are 28 photos in total, I believe) is: UMiss for Palestine protest met with opposition on campus. "Opposition" is doing a lot of work here.

Same as it ever was. In 2003, massive numbers protested the invasion of Iraq before it happened, but the punditocracy and the political class cheered it on and acted as though all right-thinking people approved.

I was gobsmacked a few years ago in a conversation with someone who told me white evangelical Christians were the real power behind MLK. To hear him tell it, MLK was the only black man on the Edmund Pettus bridge, surrounded by pious virtuous white people like himself.

And the freaking Governor is publicly proud of the counter protesters over on the other site and links to video of them singing. In a decade or more he'll probably claim he was proud of the protesters.
