    Just noticed that clicking on the comic in the link opens this YouTube video, its not a rickroll. This is our government disappearing people for having the audacity to use their 1st amendment rights.

    It’s worth noting that these students are being arrested because an extremist Zionist group called Betar is feeding names to the Federal Government.

    There is zero evidence for any crimes having been perpetrated by these students.

    Betar are extremely secretive about who they are funded by, with some speculating that this is an Israeli front.

    The US government is acting as a goon squad for Zionist provocateurs.

      The mentioning of Zionists as the responsible still appears to be a massive taboo.

      It was so easy to name Russia as perpetrator for any alleged thing. But calling out Zionists still gets people labeled as an antisemite.

    At first i thought it would be a joke about the difficulties of navigating just the higher education system. I am woke now

      Well, it is about the difficulties of navigating the higher education system in the US as an international student, but unlike the ordinary XKCD comic, it’s not a joke.

        If these are the new hoops theyre gonna have to jump through we are all gonna need an education. Do reeducation camps have post-doc openings?

          The name is misleading. There is no education.
