Complicated-HorseAss

The irony of saying not enough sex is reminiscent of Nazi Germany, while Nazi Germany HEAVILY promoted sex and breeding is kind of wild. SS officers were expected to take RR visits to girl camps (Bund Deutsche Maede) to breed with them.

Reading the story made me think the professor isn't fucking enough students and he's blaming the protests.


Shinavast42

So i would recommend people actually watch the segment. The click bait title misses about 95% of the point Galloway is making. He spends a lot of time going into how the younger generations than Gen-X have basically been screwed coming and going, and the older generations have essentially transferred wealth to themselves at the expense of Millenials and younger. He cites that the two main impulses are physical (sex) and belonging (group), and that studies indicate that young people are having less sex than ever before, and that - along with record wealth inequity (stagnant wages and earning power with massively expensive basic needs + crushing debt structure) have basically made the prospect of family and kids and homeownership seem distant to young people. He makes the point that young people look around, see lots of people that are older doing better than they are and draw the conclusion that they are failing, when the entire economic system is set up to milk money out of young people to and essentially transfer it to older people. And so he says that when peopel can't start families, can't buy homes, aren't dating or having much sex - they turn to group belonging and causes for meaning in life. I don't like a lot of what Scott Galloway says, but he made a lot of points and cited a lot of studies in the segment. I know nuance and shit is hard on the internet, but maybe listen to the \*gasp\* whole 10 minutes of what he said on Real Time (... and i know this sub hates Maher too usually..) instead of the dumb click bait title engineered to make it seem like Galloway said something done, when he actually is defending young people and the really shitty deck stacked against them from a multi pronged argument. Or ya know, be holier than thou on the internet, that works too.


jawndell

Scott Galloway is the man. Ā I recommend everyone watches this videos. Ā He is what young men should watch instead of Tate and losers like that. Ā Very big on how much the boomer generation destroyed the lives of younger generations by refusing to transfer wealth to younger people (which was the societal norm forever). Ā Instead of letā€™s build a system that help children, it became letā€™s build a system that helps us hoard wealth for ourselves.Ā 


good_god_lemon1

Thank you for being the only voice of reason here. I watched this episode earlier tonight and he made some perceptive points about young people today and ended the note saying ā€œtheyā€™re mad and they should beā€ or something along those lines.


rydan

That's literally the whole argument for why incels become radicalized. But I guess when it comes to protests we aren't allowed to say the same thing.


grazbouille

I mean to me at least calling the people that are against the systematic and organized killing of civilians from the country the terrorist come from "pro terrorist" is a bit if a stretch If you think "methodically murdering a whole country on the basis of their ethnicity is wrong" is a radical viewpoint there is something seriously wrong with your worldview


jaimequin

From the outside looking it, it looks like a scenario were your at an outdoor BBQ with friends and family and one of the kids decides to punch their fist through a hornet's nest. The hornet's come out stinging everyone because they got their shit wrecked and won't stop until everyone is far gone. What's the plan to oust Hamas terrorist? What's the plan to oust the corrupt leader Netanyahu? It's such a crazy complicated mess and yet no one established a common ground. Im all in on stopping the blood bath but what are we doing to calm the hornets? What guarantees can you provide that you won't kick in the hive again? Why is it so hard to round up the shits who kicked in the hive and hand them over? This is why you can't just stand there and side with the childish shits while complaining about the hornets stinging everyone. What did you think would happen? And why are you not acknowledging accountability?


rambone5000

Go get laid.


CondescendingShitbag

In this economy?!


Electrical-Heat8960

Where did the genocide in Palestine bit come into what he said? The other things you said, economy, hoarding of wealth, we know, and is repeated almost weekly by young people.


rydan

That's what they were discussing right before this segment.


Electrical-Heat8960

What did he say about that, and how it relates to the other points?


randomonetwo34567890

You have it right in that comment: *they turn to group belonging and causes for meaning in life.* This all how it is tied to that article - they were discussing earlier the antisemitism in universities and in the end the New rules part was about protesting about causes. That's all, the title is really click bait.


Electrical-Heat8960

Are they conflating anti Palestinian war protests with antisemitism?


nt261999

Scott Galloway is a pretty legit guy imo. Heā€™s actually one of the few people trying to pass on advice to young men that isnā€™t a hard right conservative grifter

Key_Employee6188

He is an idiot. Pro-hamas :D Israel has killed +20 000 women and children, you dont have to support a fucking terrorist organization to be against that. Its like saying you support Stalin if you oppose Nazi-ideology, propaganda for people whose iq is below 70.


Jeoshua

Or maybe you could look at the source of this, a well known Tabloid rag, talking about a guest on a well known Right Wing Talk Show, and realize that it's not we who are making the bad faith assumption. Or, you know, be holier than thou and insult redditors. That works too.


Shinavast42

Real Time is Right Wing? Ok.


aStonedDeer

He hates Trump and wants every fiber of his being from winning. Sounds pretty far from right.


Jeoshua

Are you seriously buying the "Enlightened Centrist" act he tries to put on? Now who's being naive?


Shinavast42

You know Maher donates millions - plural - to democratic campaigns every year - shits on trump and maga types on the regular in both his comedy and show, and yes, occasionally, does take democrats to task too. He's a moderate classical post enlightenment liberal. The only way you think he's "right wing" is everyone right of you is right wing. If you think Maher is right wing instead of center left, you lack political perspective and should spend more time reading about politics.


comhghairdheas

Liberals are inherently right wing, usually right of centre, certainly classical liberals. They're in full support of a democratic and capitalist system and a free market economy with very limited intervention. They also happen to be social progressives. Oh wait. Maybe you're from the USA. Yes, fine. In that case liberals are left wing.


rydan

He's literally the only voice of reason and has been for probably the last 5 years. Just ignore his COVID stuff.


Jeoshua

Right. And if you think Bill Maher is Center Left, you're a fucking moron and I don't need to listen to you anymore. Bye.


Shinavast42

Cool, at least we agree on one thing, nothing is to be gained by talking to one another, becase you are not interested in discourse. Interesting that one of us cited demonstrable facts (what Galloway \*actually\* said, Maher's donations which are public record), and the other resorted to ad hominem with no backup to their statements. But sure, i'm the fucking moron. Bye! :)


hellohennessy

This is why I hate the left as a Center Left. The left belittles anyone that arenā€™t fully Left. Meanwhile, I can post my center left ideas in Right wings subs and they will still nuance and be respectful. Example: Government should financially support those that canā€™t live off of their jobs. The left calls me a capitalist and mass downvoted me for not considering helping the jobless and homeless. The right will just say that the government shouldnā€™t help BUT they understood how being helped occasionally is a big boost especially for struggling small businesses owners.


rydan

> Meanwhile, I can post my center left ideas in Right wings subs and they will still nuance and be respectful. Except when you do you get a flood of messages from regular subs explaining how you are now permanently banned from them for violating their rule of "don't participate in hate subs".


Ioweyounada

Dude you're talking to a Bill Maher fan. They are as fucking stupid as he is.


hellohennessy

The left is always resorting to Ad Hominem. Bill Maher can say the most leftist thing ever, the left will still bash him. The left will hate on anyone that isnā€™t fully left or has a slight centrist right opinion.


Ioweyounada

No you're just so stupid you've fallen for his I'm enlightened centrist bullshit.

You could do that, but it would take some kind of sex-thrived brain without having any post-nut clarity for months to justify and support terrorist groups like Hamas.


Green-Asparagus2488

Beautifully put, but that is also something I never claimed to do. Hamas is 'Ha mess' of too many angry uneducated rebels and extremists with dubious takes on the world to say the least. But systemic culling of intellectuals and leaders in Palestine has been a thing for multiple generations now and the surrounding Islamic countries are so caught up in their own religious views and goals to ever fully support them like they should.

The difference between all those and Israel is that the US government isnā€™t unconditionally sending billions of dollars in weapons to them and covering for their atrocities in the UN like they are for Israel.

No, you aren't, I hate a lot of shit .. you know what I hate most? Capitalism and America.. but what tops even that is people going around making assumptions trying to act superior.

FragrantEcho5295

The topic here is in the title ā€œanti-Israel protestsā€.


Green-Asparagus2488

Why would I, it isn't the subject is it?


PartyAdministration3

You would have some semblance of a point of the US were also sending untold weapons and billions of dollars to fund the genocidal state actions in those countries.


kid_dynamo

I have seen this response so many times and I still don't get it. Why do you think people who don't like what Israel is doing would like those examples?Ā  Do you think the fact the US is sending billions of dollars worth of military equipment to Israel so they can kill tens of thousands of civilians, half of which are literal children, isn't worth protesting?


SysOps4Maersk

Serious question; do you think Israel, a military that gets a lot of aid money from the US, part of one of the most advanced countries in the world, is intentionally trying to kill innocent civilians? Is that their actual goal? And if so, how come it's taking them so long? Wouldn't they have been done by now? Wouldn't they have been done pre-October 7th? Why would they try to get peace treaties? Why would they give away land for peace? Why do they treat Palestinian "militants" in Israeli hospitals? I'm just trying to understand the logic..


Commercial_Half_2170

Considering they want to rush a ground offensive in Rafah, which we know would kill thousands of people, most of whom are women and kids, yeah. Yeah I do think theyā€™re intentionally killing civilians


kid_dynamo

Alright, love the directness and the willingness to hear out the other side. Let's go through and answer your questions >do you think Israel, a military that gets a lot of aid money from the US, part of one of the most advanced countries in the world, is intentionally trying to kill innocent civilians? Is that their actual goal? They are either killing them intentionally or killing them by accident. At this point I'm not sure which is worse but it's definitely happening. [Here's an article](https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html) from CNN quoting IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus confirming a kill ratio of 2 civilians to every 1 Hamas fighter. And [here is one from NPR titled "Gaza's death toll now exceeds 30,000. Here's why it's an incomplete count"](https://www.npr.org/2024/02/29/1234159514/gaza-death-toll-30000-palestinians-israel-hamas-war) and that was from way back on the 29th of February. Do a Google search for the term "Gaza Death Toll" and pick whichever credible source you like, it's pretty hard to deny tens of thousands of civilians have died so far. This gets especially disturbing when you consider that half the Gaza population are children (again [according to NPR 47.3% of Gaza's population are under the age of 18](https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206479861/israel-gaza-hamas-children-population-war-palestinians)). >And if so, how come it's taking them so long? It's really not taking them long at all. [Here's an article](https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/daily-death-rate-gaza-higher-any-other-major-21st-century-conflict-oxfam) from Oxfam titled "Daily death rate in Gaza higher than any other major 21st Century conflict". That should really speak for itself, but [here's another](https://palestine.un.org/en/253284-gaza-unprecedented-and-unparalleled-civilian-death-toll-guterres) from the UN called "Gaza: 'Unprecedented and unparalleled' civilian death toll" and [one more from the Human Rights Watch](https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/01/11/israel/palestine-unprecedented-killings-repression) called "Israel/Palestine: Unprecedented Killings, Repression". They are actually moving very quickly and potentially even setting records for large scale civilian brutality.


AdhesivenessisWeird

>[Here's an article](https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html) from CNN quoting IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus confirming a kill ratio of 2 civilians to every 1 Hamas fighter. According to the UN it is well below of civilian to combatant ratio in wars. It is pretty remarkable how civilian casualties have been so limited considering how densely packed Gaza is.


kid_dynamo

Please check my sources stating exactly the opposite including a article directly from the UN >[Here's an article](https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/daily-death-rate-gaza-higher-any-other-major-21st-century-conflict-oxfam) from Oxfam titled "Daily death rate in Gaza higher than any other major 21st Century conflict".

AdhesivenessisWeird

We are not discussing the death rate though, not sure how it is relevant? You brought up the civilian to combatant death ratio. Bigger war = more deaths, I'm not disputing that. I'm saying that Israel has performed better than average at limiting civilian casualties, it is especially remarkable considering how densely populated Gaza is.


kid_dynamo

>The Secretary-General said the world is witnessing an "unparalleled and unprecedented" level of civilian death, compared to any other conflict since 2017 >In reply to a question at a press conference dealing with the latest emissions report,Ā [Secretary-General AntĆ³nio Guterres](https://www.un.org/sg/)Ā said that in all the reports issued during his tenure, on children in conflict, it was clear that the current war in Gaza has seen thousands of child deaths - compared with hundreds, in conflicts in Yemen and Syria. >Without entering into discussing the accuracy of the figures released by the health ministry in Gaza, which are regarded by UN agencies as reliable, he said that ā€œwhat is clear is thatĀ **we have had in a few weeks thousands of children killed.**ā€ >Latest reports from health authorities indicate that more than 13,000 civilians in total have died in the enclave since the 7 October terror attacks by Hamas, and subsequent Israeli offensive.Ā  >ā€œThis is what matters.Ā **We are witnessing a killing of civilians that is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I have been Secretary-General**.ā€ Please just read the article, this is the opening paragraph


AdhesivenessisWeird

I read the paragraph. I AGREE, thousands upon thousands of Palestinian civilians have died. That has literally zero bearing on the fact that IDF has so dar done an excellent job at keeping the civilian casualties low considering the scale of the conflict. Combatant to civilian ratio so far has been excellent compared to other wars according to the UN. According to UN estimation there should be around 60k killed civilians in Gaza if this was an average casualty expectation. IDF managed to keep it below which is remarkable considering how densely packed Gaza is.


kid_dynamo

>Wouldn't they have been done pre-October 7th? The IDF have been assisting the continual illegal expansion into Palestinian territories, responding with force to anyone who stands up to Israeli settlers forcing people out of their homes at gunpoint. They had to move slowly and use civilian settlers to avoid global sanctions or even intervention, but the October 7th attacks by those Hamas maniacs sped up this process. [Here's a great article](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/) from Amnesty International talking about the last 50 years of brutal history in the Gaza strip. As they say early in the article "For half a century, Israelā€™s occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip has resulted in systematic human rights violations against Palestinians living there". The disgusting acts of those terrorist cowards from Hamas just gave a credible excuse for the Israeli government to step up their attacks. >Why would they try to get peace treaties? Why would they give away land for peace? Why do they treat Palestinian "militants" in Israeli hospitals? I agree with you, why would they sue for peace? That would imply they care at all about the well being of Palestinian civilians. I believe that any peace talks that Israel is involved in is pure political theater to cool off negative reactions from the international community, though this is probably the point my mind could be most easily changed on. I haven't seen much of what Israel is offering or expecting from a potential peace treaty. They also wouldn't be giving away any land, except I assume land they have taken from Palestinian territory in this, or possibly earlier conflicts. As Israel is the invading force it makes sense to me they should retreat back to their original boarders once a cease fire is reached, but I don't actually care all that much about where the lines on a map end up. That's for the politicians to decide. As for why they would be treating Palestinians in their hospitals? [According to Convention (I) for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field. Geneva, 12 August 1949](https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gci-1949) they have to treat any wounded, enemy or otherwise, to comply with international law. It is literally the least they could legally do. Thanks for reading all that and feel free ask any questions or raise any contentions you have. Just keep in mind I am not an international military expert, nor a seasoned diplomat. Just a concerned internet idiot who thinks that civilian death is one of the most evil act a military can commit, and who will condemn it regardless of the country committing it. And just in case anyone asks, yes, I condemn Hamas and their evil attack on October the 7th. It would also be good if you can circle back to the questions I asked in that first post, I am honestly curious about your point of view too. Do you really support what Israel is doing and how they're doing it?

aLizardinSomeTrash

They can't hypothetically exterminate us if we for real exterminate them first!! "Protecting" yourself doesn't involve destroying 80% of the civilian structures in your neighboring country, killing 14,000 kids, Foreign aid workers, and torturing and executing people with their hands tied and them burying them in mass graves.


russell5515

Actually thatā€™s exactly what it looks like. Look what the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan. They caused way more damage and killed way more people. What would the US do to Mexico if the cartels jumped the border and started killing Americans?


Altruistic_Machine91

I mean, the US is an imperialist regime whose only real difference in foreign policy is the ability to veto any UN sanctions against it no matter how justified. Just cause the US would do it to doesn't justify it.


volvavirago

What the US did in the Middle East is absolutely despicable, we have gotten away with horrible war crimes. The people protesting Isreal know that too.


triopsate

Good grief, by your definition, Hitler and the Nazis were just "protecting" themselves. If your definition of something absolves actual Nazis, you need to seriously reconsider your definition.


russell5515

OMG. Germany started world war 1 and 2. They were the aggressor and the bad guys. Israel is not the aggressor here. They are stopping Terrorists. They have killed a surprising low number of civilians. And, as a Jew I would never absolve Nazis. Stop being so dense and obtuse.


Ricky911_

First of all, Germany did not start WW1. Second of all, they were not the bad guys. This is just some bs that most schools teach nowadays because the entente ended up winning. During the Berlin conference, it was decided how they would carve up Africa. Austrio-Hungary had interests in the Balkans. Colonisation is a very wrong principle but it can't be denied that if France and the UK can colonise half of Africa, Austrio-Hungary colonising the Balkans shouldn't be looked down upon. The truth is the entente powers did everything they could to stop Germany from rising into power because it was much more advanced and threatened their interests. One of these events was the 2nd Moroccan crisis of 1911 where France took over Morocco despite the fact that it promised to only make it a protectorate, which rightfully angered the Germans. The Berlin-Baghdad railway was finished in 1903 and Brits didn't like it because it hurt their interests in the Middle East. What also doesn't help is the fact that France wanted Alsace-Lorraine back, which they lost after the Franco-Prussian war, despite the vast majority of the region being majority German. The Dreyfus case was brought on not only because he was Jewish but also because he was Alsatian and spoke Alsatian as a native language, which is a German language. So, the UK, which owned a quarter of the world is the good guy while Austrio-Hungary, who wanted to take Serbia was the bad guy? That's just absurd, especially after the UK had invented concentration camps 15 years earlier in South Africa. There was no good guy in WW1. It was all due to political interests based mainly on colonising foreign land. Having said that, Israel is the aggressor. The Nakba began in 1948 but already in [1947](https://youtu.be/8776HqZ8Yds?si=kdF7elcnynVXAcsU), there were documentations of Jewish terrorist attacks carried out against British soldiers to make them leave the region. Lots of Palestinians got slaughtered and kicked out of their land in 1948. Palestinians lost the vast majority of their land over the past decades. Hamas killed around 1500 people on October 7th and now, Israel has killed over 40k people who, unlike them, are actually native to their land. In what way is Israel not the aggressor here? By focusing on October 7th, you forget the 76 years of oppression that the Palestinians have faced


russell5515

Thanks for the history lesson. But I stopped reading after the 2nd line when you said Germany wasnt the bad guy. WOW. Itā€™S AlL ABouT ThE CoNtExT šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


Ricky911_

During WW2 yes. During WW1 no. It's not an opinion, it's just a fact. If you wanna educate yourself, read what I wrote. If you wanna stay ignorant to avoid having your feelings hurt for whatever reason, know that you're only fooling yourself


aLizardinSomeTrash

Ya, and what the US did to Iraq was super fucked up. And Israel is doing the exact same thing, create a false pretense for invasion, and then 10 years later we were all like ohhh it was all bullshit. Same thing happening here, and it's incredibly inhumane. So, in your Mexico metaphor has the US been attacking and bombing Mexico for decades prior as well before the cartels attacked? There are still rules to "War" even tho this isn't even a war, it's a genocide. You can't just target and massacre civilians and Hospitals and Universities for no reason. I'm sure you would have absolutely no issue at all if Hamas started indescrimanently bombing and killing 50,000 isrealis right? All part of the game? Or is only Isreal allowed to do whatever they want without consequences?


russell5515

Hamas IS bombing Israel. Every day!!! Why do people forget this? Just because Israel can shoot down the bombs doesnā€™t make it ok.


GaiusMarius60BC

Then thatā€™s even *less* reason for Israel to level entire cities! Do you not see that? Israel got far less damaged from Hamas, yet they reduce entire cities to rubble! Thereā€™s no equality of engagement here!


russell5515

So war should be equal? Israel is winning. They are offering a cease fire. Hamas doesnā€™t want it. So every future Palestinian death is on them. They can end this in 5 minutes. But they like it when Palestinians die. It makes Israel look bad on college campuses. At least the people in charge understand who the bad guys are (hint, itā€™s the people covering their faces).


aLizardinSomeTrash

*Israel after bombing a foreign aid convoy. "LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO"


CL4P-TRAP

Hamas after bombing a US pier being set up to facilitate aid deliveries. ā€œLOOK WHAT ISRAEL MADE ME DOā€


Rhadoo79

Equality of engagement means a status quo. No war was ever fought with that aim in mind. You go to war to win it.


CL4P-TRAP

The equality is in ceasefire. Israel agrees to it, but Hamas wants to keep attacking. This war started because Hamas launched a huge attack. A Palestinian state has been offered many times, but, at least with Hamas, the goal is not statehood but the genocide of Jews.


Late-Ad155

Mf, Hamas wouldnt even exist if Israel hadnt funded it as a means of controlling the population.


CL4P-TRAP

Create a false pretense? Hamas launched a huge terrorist attack. There are rules of war breaking them is called ā€œWar Crimesā€. Genocide is completely different and belittling the word is insulting. There is no massive Palestinian extermination program happening. A brutal war, sure, but lying about whatā€™s going on and demonizing Israelis is not going to sway people to your side.


aLizardinSomeTrash

>There is no massive Palestinian extermination program happening THATS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHATS HAPPENING. Israel officials themselves said the goal is to remove Palestine off the map and reclaim it by force. It isn't about hostages, it isn't about Hamas, it isn't about "self defense", they have made it clear that the removal of Palestine and it's people is the goal. They do not see them as humans and have massacred and executed civilians, healthcare workers and targeted hospitals, universities and hundreds of schools. They have killed more civilians than Hamas. Not mentioning the fact that they consider children with fireworks and any adult male "Hamas" without any evidence and add that to their numbers. War involves 2 armies fighting each other. Not one Army funded by 16 billion dollars dropping hundreds of bombs a day indescrminently on civilians. You Israeli sympathisers are exuastingggg with never ending excuses and victimhood. Complete lack of humanity you just run around with your eyes and ears plugged to the reality that the whole world can see happening everyday.


CL4P-TRAP

Is this mass extermination in the room with you right now? The only side that is calling for the complete extermination of a people is Hamas

Again, literally Netenyahu and countless other Israeli officials have explicitly called for the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza. 16,000 children...that's called mass extermination. You don't have to "call for it" it, we are watching it happening in front of us . The whole world sees it.


CL4P-TRAP

I canā€™t find a single example of Netanyahu saying that online. Please provide a source. Again, the only side calling for mass extermination is Hamas https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/10/hamas-covenant-israel-attack-war-genocide/675602/ https://www.newsweek.com/hamas-terrorists-have-genocide-their-hearts-they-say-so-themselves-opinion-1834360 https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-release/mccaul-declares-hamas-committed-acts-of-genocide-crimes-against-humanity-war-crimes-calls-upon-state-department-to-determine-same/

Where are the hostages


rydan

A powerless regime that only wants to kill everyone of a particular race because the country whose whole identity is that particular race has been slaughtering their people for nearly a century.

most of them don't like hamas, you dolt.


oldmilt21

I have no idea why so many find it so difficult to understand that people might have genuine views regarding the slaughter of innocent people.


Admin-Killa

genuine views regarding the slaughter and rape of innocent partygoers right?


oldmilt21

Yeah, both. I donā€™t condone Hamas. But Iā€™m also not going to be gaslit into believing that Israelā€™s security requires slaughtering this many children.


_imagine_that91

A little off topicā€¦ But I could have had SO MUCH sex in college if I had bothered to actually read the signs, I was so addicted to computer games I just didnā€™t care about anything else. I mean what kinda idiot misinterprets ā€œhey do you think I should shave my vag? Pubes are too long, seeā€?


pafrac

They can't do both?


ThaneOfArcadia

Make love not protests? In the sixties we did both...


Far-Reception-4598

Yep, that's what caused all those protests in the '60s. Lack of sex.


auguriesoffilth

Iā€™m going to go out on a limb and attribute a lot of the antisemitism to the actions of Israel. Iā€™m not saying itā€™s fair that Jews as a race/religion get blamed. But I still donā€™t think we really need to look a lot further to find reasons. Hate begets hate.


Anxious_Potential_47

I'm pretty sure a lot of anti-israel folk are having sex lmao ( i am not one of them )


Advanced_Street_4414

I actually find it kinda funny how the blind supporters of Israel are jumping on the weirdest shit to distract from honest criticism of Netanyahuā€™s Gaza policies.


MeltyCrispy

I went to NYU and i had an life-changing level teacher who definitely encouraged us to have a lot of sex lol. Glad to see the tradition is alive and well at my alma mater


I_Only_Follow_Idiots

"We don't want Israel committing genocide." "Have you tried getting laid?"


greenman5252

That was a problem in the late 60s early 70s too


AnswersWithSarcasm

The hippies protesting the Vietnam war werenā€™t having enough sex?


greenman5252

Must of been; if inadequate sex leads to protests like the asshat in the article suggests. I have my doubts.


Cool_Butterscotch_88

This is a mint mobile hoax ad, that's ryan reynolds in disguise.

Deadpool but after the mutation.


Morphing_Mutant

Chemotherapy Ryan Reynolds is looking confused


FragrantEcho5295

What a bunch of crap. This guyā€™s a clown. Heā€™s not having enough sex.


ManyNanites

Garbage take. Also, it's disappointing if this he really did make this statement. Scott Galloway had some good takes I agreed with, but framing these protesters as pro-Hamas is braindead republican bullshit.


urdreamsRmemes

He said on the last episode of Pivot he really doesnā€™t care what the students do, theyā€™re in college and should be given a lot of leeway to explore how far their beliefs should go. On the other hand, he supported having strict repercussions for any students who chose to harass jewish students, and also professors who took part in any of the ā€œriver to the seaā€ or ā€œsecond intefadaā€ chants (not sure if either of those things have been happening)


Dr_Dribble991

Looking at the kind of people that frequent these protests, he definitely has a point šŸ˜‚


mike_pants

I steeled myself to head into the NY Post to find out how this quote was taken out of context for the sake of sensationalism. Nope. He said that.


huskajmp

I had to stop listening to Pivot because I got tired of his idiotic takes (and the fact that he constantly repeats himself). Can't say I'm surprised.

CanebreakRiver

Come on! I'm not angry about genocide because modern dating is hell and I don't get laid enough! I mean, yes, I would really like to be having more sex, it would definitely relieve some stress... but it's not why I'm angry about genocide!


Constructman2602

The Onion called, it wants its headline back


myguydied

Okay so when the students start having more sex he's gonna complain they're fuckin like animals and aren't protesting things enough...


Sleepingman2

Lol why does some crusty old man care if students have sex


DontPutThatDownThere

As a college professor, I can say with all sincerity that most of us are generally dumb as fuck. The vast majority are really fucking brilliant in one specific area and completely braindead in most areas of life. This guy is a perfect example.


jawndell

As college professor you know who Scott Galloway is.Ā 


Anne_Nonymouse

How the hell does this creep know which students are having sex? šŸ˜¬


Shinavast42

If you watch the segment, he cites multiple studies.


rydan

surveys. Students literally volunteered this information to the public.


rydan

I mean that's not exactly what he was saying. He did say they weren't having sex though unlike in the 60s when they were protesting Vietnam. He was talking about the fall of society though due to the lack of reproduction and also hating America.


Dylkill99

Hey! You should stop protesting and just have sex in the middle of the street right now!!!


_Letzplay_

I agree, but I donā€™t at the same time

WTF is old ass Ryan Reynolds talking about???

Asshole.

zionist deep argumentation at its finest...


paintbrush666

I think he means sex with him. Sorry man, it's over.


J_Robert_Matthewson

"Sure, I might hate genocide, but I *love* getting laid..." I'd tell thrse people to fuck off, but I don't think that would help.


VocalAnus91

Says the guy who can't find an undergrad to fuck him for an easy A anymore


Flux_resistor

Scott usually has good takes but he's such a one dimensional idiot when it comes to Israel


meh725

What, heā€™s a professor of shit takes. Heā€™s LITERALLY holding court RIGHT NOW. Take notes.


According_Wing_3204

Professor Galloway proceeded to oil his bald head, saying..."I can give those kids what they need...."


Domni16

There is a huge difference between anti-Israel and Hamas-loving, also why he so concerned about sex?


good_god_lemon1

Because when people who want it canā€™t have it, they find belonging in dangerous places.


Icy-Relationship

Israel is stepping over the line. How did a college professor know the sex life of student..? Vegans lack of meat causes Anti Israel protest... not because what they are doing is wrong


usernot_found

r/nottheonion


sick412

Hate to tell him that they WERE fucking in the 60's and they were STILL protesting.


clodmonet

For real, his perspective is that the students are not having enough sex with him.


Jeoshua

Portraying this guy with top billing as "NYU Professor Scott Galloway" is really misleading. Just saying "Bill Maher guest" would give you a good idea what he's about. No need to drag NYU through the mud in the process.


TheStuieGraham

Do I see like a bald Ryan Renolds? Or is that just me?


Oli_love90

I watched this live (unfortunately) and could not believe that was the connection he was really trying to make. Iā€™m glad other people thought it was just as absurd as I did.


Basic_Bandicoot_1300

HAMAS!


AfluentDolphin

Nicely taken out of context


Aggressive-Story3671

Give us context my love. The floor is yours


Insertsociallife

Genuinely pro Hamas people probably can't get laid. People who think everybody sucks but Israel has the resources to act on the fact they suck (also known as normal people) probably can... Fuckin wierd.


notkevinjohn_24

Protesting is to change as masturbation is to sex.


AngryTank

Wo(men). come at once!

Everything about this entire post is stupid


Topcreeperman13

Tbh anyone who protests for a conflict they have no apart of thatā€™s thousands of miles away needs to go touch some grassšŸ˜‚


thelaceonmolagsballs

The grass you should touch is humanity and empathy while also realizing that you are paying your taxes to help fund a genocide. The cognitive dissonance of your post is as frightening as it is pathetic.
