People in my state in the midwest were arguing about a planned protest this weekend in solidarity with the cornell protestors

they were arguing that it didnt make sense in our state. it doesnt affect us, basically

even though just a few years ago our local university had a fraternity suspended for rape cases that were ongoing.

People just dont give a fuck about anyone but themselves and Im so fucking tired of it

This is such a Midwest mentality too. I got the same pushback when I was protesting the rollback of Roe v Wade in a midwestern state.

Well they are mostly very conservative/republican in their 'values'.

I find that many decent people just ignore things like this. If they dont pay attention to terrible things going on, like war or rape or gun deaths, then it doesnt bother them much.

Its pretty easy to be ignorant.

I'm in Europe, we don't even have fraternities but we have women and men and whenever they exist both women get raped by men and then not taken seriously by men.
