Why activism is considered a no no now?

[Anonymous]

It seems both Jewish and Muslims Americans are afraid of attending any rally to support Israeli and Palestinian people due to real incidences and conspiracy stories of backlash for doing so. Since when activism to support victims became a crime here in United States? Do we not stand for freedom of speech anymore? Why people are instantly labeled as antisemite or anti human rights if they speak about a need to end atrocities happening on both sides?

Crime? Can you cite which crime is being committed?

If American taxes are going to this conflict or any conflict overseas, tax payers should be able to offer their opinion and demand answers for government's decisions. No?

If you are oblivious to human suffering then there is nothing to discuss.

The OP said a crime is being committed by not being able to engage in activism. I am asking for OP to cite which criminal code is being violated.

There is a big difference between a crime and a no no OP. What, exactly, are you talking about?

Please choose your words more carefully

You need to learn to read.

There is nothing criminal about protesting in the US. Hell, we suspended Covid protocols for the summer of love.

It's not a crime, OP has that wrong. It's about billionaires taking umbrage at your position and doxing you so you can't get a job later.

Ohs Nos! I remember those being called consequences when they happened to non-progressives.

It's ultimately really stupid to bring this issue up on social media or attend a rally for either side. You inevitably say something that is interpreted as offensive by someone and the easiest course of action your employer can take is to fire you. Know someone who went through law school then lost their first job posting about a Hamas terror attack

Being allowed to do that yet having to face backlashes like Harvard students is an issue.

It's so odd to me that you think that standing on the side of killing 1300 people is ok and no one should be cancelled but that it's fine to get someone fired for getting videos acting like a jerk on a plane for instance.

Crime here is being used in original post as a social crime, not a legal one. People are getting marked and labeled.

No sensible person stands for killing of any innocent, no matter which race, religion or nationality.

Agree with this! Not much to add on this particular topic, but we wouldn't have so much that we have today without brave people protesting. Women's rights, Civil rights, wars, Bernie Sanders, the Nurses in CA, you name it. People should not get marked and labeled. It's a new era and we need new understandings for this.
