What the Kent State Massacre Shows Us About The Student Uprisings for Gaza, 54 Years Later
It's the anniversary of the infamous Kent State massacre, when the National Guard opened fire on students at an anti-war march.
54 years later, politicians and administrators are threatening similar force on those setting up tents to protest the Gaza genocide.

The violent response pretends that the students were disturbing the peace when, in reality, the students were peacefully disturbing the war.

There were definitely some adults protesting Vietnam. Even some of the Vietnam vets became protesters later. Kent State happened on a college campus so was mainly students protesting....but you also gotta remember there was also no Internet or cellphone cameras or social media back then so people got all their news from MSM, which just like now is subsidized by military-industrial complex. So all the real sh*t was not being shown. Just what defense contractors and war hawks in the gov't who owned a lot of shares of stock in defense industry corporations allowed to be shown. At least now people of all ages can get the truth from the alternative media. If they choose to open their eyes and ears

Well this is America doing American things, but people just keep getting surprised?
Remember the May 15th, 1970 Jackson State massacre too. Two students were killed, and 12 more were wounded by police gunfire during "the 28-second fusillade from police officers was an unreasonable, unjustified overreaction.... A broad barrage of gunfire in response to reported and unconfirmed sniper fire is never warranted." Two students were cleaning blackboard chalk erasers by slapping them together next to an open 2nd floor classroom window, and panicking State and local police below thought the chalk dust was sniper fire, so they said later.

Even the Vietnamese soldiers who had American soldiers as prisoners showed the prisoners videos of what's happening in America. Of the wounded students only 2 are actually paralyzed from the waist down, paraplegic. A girl who cried screaming on one knee with her arms stretched out, isn't old enough to attend college. I was almost 4 years old in 1970.
Back then America look like it was actually falling apart as a great and powerful nation in the world. In the 1960s and the 1970s was actually sheer chaos, gloomy, and they actually trying to make us forget about what happened back then.
In other words, this is who the American government and establishment really is. Do not be turned away by their violence and brutality - continue to take action

We, in the Philippines, will always remember students, though we do not their names, who died and sacrificed for the end of war. We stand in solidarity with them to this date for they have made our planet a more peaceful place. Today, it seems that the causes of war have not be removed and the students of the US and other nations are up in protest. Again, we stand in solidarity with them. End the war! End competition that leads to war. End the arms race! Let trade and commerce grow in cooperation with each other! Let the multi-polar world grow! Peace, justice, prosperity and security for all!

This is the American Democracy and they want to promote to other countries.
Whether it's the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, South African Apartheid, the Iraq War or the current genocide of the Palestinians, it's fascinating how often students are at the forefront of all these historical events, what is later referred to as "the right side of history", while the media and political elites are on the wrong side of history, and yet we never learn.
