Meaning sell out your buddies. The Nazis definitely did this.

Every despotic regime has a program to inform on your neighbors. Even in our tech-laden world, it's probably one of the most effective means of identifying dissidents.

Not if you rat them out first.

Meaning betray the trust of your pupils.

Any university that complies is a valid target.

"We'd love to comply, but the funding cuts from your administration have regrettably forced us to shut down the security systems needed to perform such identification. Turns out weatherproof cameras and 100 TB+ storage arrays for footage aren't cheap."

I gotta say that I’ve never been so jealous of all that freedom you guys are always boasting about

This is why it was foolish of Columbia, Harvard, etc. to have caved. They’re coming for all universities, better to resist now than cede ground and have less to resist with later.

Man, that freedom of speech thing works really different than I thought.

In case anyone was wondering this is, in fact, fascism.

That makes anyone that voted for it a fascist. Because they were warned, repeatedly, that voting in such a way would be supporting fascism.

People are dumb or plain retarded to comprehend the most basic and common sense things about cases like Trump. The same has been happening in Romania for almost 40 decades now: people keep voting fascists/ex-communists/thieves/incompetent people even id they are warned about it.

It is the obligation of every university to refuse to cooperate beyond the minimum amount required by law. No one in the administration is working in good faith. Make them require the judicial branch.

... "But only if they sound foreign"

Totally normal stuff.
