    I’m gonna be real with you: if I actually went out and said this shit in public, I would be arrested, First Amendment be damned.

    No, you wouldn’t.

      Good, hope you stay out of jail, and thank you for speaking out. But at the same time … people are being arrested for protesting Delaney Hall, and pro-Palestinian groups have been getting arrested since the Biden administration.

      Either you’ve not really said anything too politically incorrect (w.r.t. the Trump administration’s political dogma), you have been maintaining excellent security culture, you have the social skills required to deescalate monsters, you’re lucky, or some combination thereof.

        People in this article were arrested for trying to break a barrier and throwing projectiles. It’s really hard to get arrested in the US for speech alone. As a person from an actual authoritarian county, sorry, you don’t really get to play the victim here.
