So proud of my alma mater


A Nazi barged into a class, Psych 210 (The Diversity of Human Sexuality), threw Nazi salutes, and called everyone there “degenerates.” He got more than he expected — practically the entire class rises up and chases him out, and pursues him across campus. It’s hilarious. There’s a moment in the video, which is focused on the Nazi running away, in which the camera briefly turns back and you see this huge boiling mob of students marching forward.

The students look like they’re having a good time.

They don’t beat up the Nazi, though. They surround him, and eventually the campus police show up to handcuff him and escort him away. That’s how you do it. It’s how I’d hope our students would respond if a similar incident occurred.

I hope Trump doesn’t use this as a pretext to invade the University of Washington with his stormtroopers.

    Does anyone know if there’s a GFM or similar for Prof Melissa McCoul, the Texas A&M prof who was fired for teaching gender lit?

    That is great. However, I can’t see how we could find a way to do that to all the ice magats invading the cities.
    (crossposted from infinite thread) Here is another article that points out how criminal this whole magat admin is:

    I keep hearing my mind shout ‘make it stop’! But, there doesn’t seem to be any means strong enough to stop the murderous madness that rules this country.

    On the plus side, he wasn’t armed…this time. On the plus+ side, those psych students got to see a first hand demonstration of MAGA Psychosis in action.

    I fear for the instructor’s job if Trump gets wind of this. He’ll sic his attack dog Bondi on them for daring to teach about human sexual diversity. This is the world we now inhabit.

    I think the moron should be offered a free semester or two in whatever sparks his interest. Call him on his shit.

    25 years ago, we had nazi morons turning up at our local uni, too. Let’s just say they were not welcomed.
    .
    I have some ruminations about the more common low-grade human-hostile systems and how they fail, even by their own standards.

    USA has 840 dollar billionaires for a 2025 population of 347 million. That is ca. 2.4 $ billionaires per million inhabitants.

    Finland has 7, Norway has 9 Sweden has 31. I do not recall the populations of Norway and Finland, but for Sweden it is 3 billionaires per million people, more than USA.

    If the Scandinavian countries have a ratio of at least 1,5 -3 / million despite having high taxes and strong social networks, universal health care et cetera it means capitalism can thrive in societies that are very different from what Thatcher and Reagan strived for! (usually called neo-liberalism, as in unchecked capitalism).

    If we go by hard data instead of knee-jerk ideology, neo-liberalism is suboptimal. But 99% are not aware of this because the status quo worldview has been pro-Thatcherism for 40 years. Data that do not fit in are as welcome as Galileo’s astronomy observations in the Vatican.

    re John Morales @12: Not removed for me. I just clicked the link and watched it.

    [thanks, johnson. ‘This video has been removed’ is a bad error message, I can see it if I enable enough shit on my browser. My bad]

    Good for those students but I have to go there. If these were mostly Black students, the criticism, if there is any in this case, would be far worse.

    Example: the HBCU students who kicked out that fascist/racist MAGA clown who came to their school uninvited. They were made out to look wild and out-of-control by the usual suspects on social media.

    It is amazing what people can do in the name of capitalism if they aren’t constantly stressed by being one medical emergency away from destitution and starvation., and have easy access to the kind of education needed to do these things.

    Weird, huh? It’s almost as if making a generalized common investment in society creates a more prosperous society.

    Washington Nazis. I hate Washington Nazis.

    That idiot should have learned a long time ago not to come across the lake; we keep our Nazis out near Issaquah, Enumclaw, and Black Diamond (where they’ll seldom if ever encounter those of non-NW-European-descent).

    Wait a minute, I grew up on the east side of the lake… about a dozen miles due north of PZ.

    Anyone else remember when daring to suggest “punching nazis” when it’s completely unnecessary is bad would get you vilified on this blog? Called a nazi supporter? Demanded to explain “why nazis should feel safe”? Shown gifs of Captain America punching Hitler?

    No? Just me? Okay, carry on.

    Politically motivated assaults

    About armed responses to attacks: Even when it is necessary for police to use maximum force to stop an ongoing terrorist attack things can go wrong.

    After the attack in Manchester it turns out one of the dead victims was hit in the head by a bullet fired by the armed police. The British armed police are known for being professional but this victim was standing behind a door.
    .
    I mention this to bring home a fact: there is no magical solution once a situation has escalated to murder.

  15. says

    I, for one, will happily stand by the position that it’s totally fine to punch nazis.
    At times, it may be bad PR and you might well argue that we should prefer peaceful means whenever possible, but fundamentally, I don’t see any problem at all with using violence against people who are actively threatening to murder me and everyone I care about.

    That distinction may be too sublte for some people to grasp, but that’s hardly my fault.

    Jaws:

    This needs a little color here.
    Seattle is mostly between Puget Sound (Salish sea) and a large long lake, Lake Washington.

    Lake Washington is 22 miles long and 2.5 miles wide.

    I won’t explain Issaquah and Enumclaw except to say that they have always been spooky places. Both were strongholds of the Ku Klux Klan early in the last century.
    (To be fair, I’ve heard that these cities are trying to outgrow their past.)

    This is off topic, but, ya know…fascism.
    The phrase, “Kavanaugh stop,” needs to be used more often than in lawyerly blogs.
    Please help.

    I live in Sammamish, which is on the east side of the lake.
    Seems like about half or 2/3rds of my neighbors are non-white (Mostly of Indian or Chinese descent)
    I’ve not seen much in the way of racist stuff, but one neighbor had a big Trump sign out in the past.
    Another had a Kamala – Waltz sign that a 3rd neighbor vandalized (was caught on surveillance video. I don’t know if charges were brought) but other than that I have not heard of any problems.

  19. Doc Bill says

    All – Please take the time to read the profile provided by @19 Becky of professor Nicole McNichols who teaches Phych 210. She grew the course to the most popular on campus with a very loyal following of students, over 1200 per term.

    Yeah, that was her chasing the pseudo Nazi cosplaying incel across campus.
