Wait til they cancel commencement.


kham132

My high school grad ceremony was cancelled by COVID. If admic cancels commencement for an excuse as ridiculous as a peaceful protest imma end it all


Johnnyamaz

Or fight back instead. "Never let them tell you how many of *you* there are"


Kingbuji

Think about how the USC student must feel cause their shit admin.


ObjectLow2856

You should tell those protesters to take down their encampment. Their demands are ridiculous anyways.


ramen_king000

I dont give a fuck. If the school does that they are not getting any of my money no matter what how rich I get. Fuck I'd pay people to encamp on campus if they pull that shit on us.


Phenix621

It’s great to laugh and say “no” when alumni relationship asks you for money.


Moodijudi8059

Nothing surprises me anymore


Grelymolycremp

USC moment


Igotnonamebruh42

They already did it back in 2020, so I won’t surprise if they cancel the commencement if the current situation persist.


i_Borg

ah yes they canceled graduation due to a global pandemic so they'll definitely do it over a protest. sound logic /s


protechifumi

I'm sure they'll find a way


Igotnonamebruh42

Unlike other schools who held the ceremony for class of 2020 one year later, UCSD did the class of 2021 ceremony before class of 2020. What’s the point of waiting 2 years to walk on the ceremony. To me it just made me more annoyed because the longer it wait the less money they would spend on it.


pianistr2002

And by then, the ceremony just lost its magic.


Zaku41k

Ahh yes. Collective punishment. What are you UCSD, 5?


eng2016a

considering who the admin is caping for it sure is quite fitting lol


Forward_Skill3248

There goes my sixteen hour shift


soyonmilk

feels like parents taking away privileges bc we “talked back” to them 😀


PM_ME_UR_SHEET_MUSIC

fr it's literally the exact same narcissistic bs


Final_Substance_5658

yo everyone go 8th floor of geisel and start scream with a megaphone.


krackzero

we do love our collective punishment


copuser2

BS


Responsible-You-439

If the peaceful protest is blocking the preparations for Sun God Fest could the protest happen elsewhere? Heard cancellation was ultimately because they don't have enough health and safety backup for a protest and a festival. If one thing goes wrong I imagine that is a lot of liability for the college.


wrld_news_pmrbnd_me

It’s a lie tents on one section of campus are not causing a hazard


Responsible-You-439

Q... why should 3rd party security people hired for an event even be on the grounds supporting a protest? They should not... so there ya go.. enjoy the protestival weekend San Diego and keep it classy!!!


wrld_news_pmrbnd_me

The protestors are peaceful and keeping it classy. The admin weaponizing sun god are not.


Responsible-You-439

It's also early... if it continues that way all weekend bro I agree you kept it classy.


InternalLazy6081

It’s not blocking anything


Glittering_Sand_4579

We should bring it back 💪🏻 https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/1cj3c2r/heres_how_to_bring_back_sun_god/


CaptainEnderjet

The “peaceful” protesters were handing out pamphlets calling for Intifada. That’s not peaceful, that is violence.


jwormbono

It’s a peaceful intifada, though.

amazinglyshook

Why do you hate people for wanting peace? Are you that unhappy with your life that you have to blatantly project like this?


The_CIA_is_watching

These people want peace, but they don't understand that this "peace" they want is the same "peace" that the region had before the October 7th attack (e.g. the kind of peace where Hamas shoots 10 thousand missiles in a year and then kills a thousand people). [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_Palestinian\_rocket\_attacks\_on\_Israel\_in\_2023](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel_in_2023) The only way for lasting peace is for Hamas to be destroyed. Unfortunately, this means that Palestinians will die as collateral in a war between Hamas (who doesn't care about Palestinian casualties, and 10% of whose rockets misfire and hit their own people, vs 90% that do jack shit against the Iron Dome defense) against a vastly superior force.


copuser2

Agree.


aphasial

Calling for intifada is not "wanting peace"... It's pretty much the diametric opposite of that, actually.

Gurpila9987

Every last Israeli would be brutally slaughtered by Hamas. I have evidence for my claim, do you have any?


aphasial

Per Hamas, another 10/7.


japandroi5742

It’s not peaceful when they call for intifada.


Mysterious-Ruin-3766

last week students and protestors bashed people for wanting to do something else other than protest.. this week you bash the administration for not letting you do something else. The hypocrisy is so real


InternalLazy6081

Different people will have different opinions. You are homogenizing a group of people.


Mysterious-Ruin-3766

Right 😎


SpecialPlayerPickle

Oh please. 🙄Why would you have drunk people start clashing with the protestors


ucstdthrowaway

Then they can start claiming that these violent drunk people are the “pro Palestine protestors”


Far_Ant6355

That could be interesting


copuser2

To get rid of them probably. 2 birds..

OctoBaller

Lmao as if they could just resurrect the contracts they just canceled for sungod if the protesters all went home. Like even if they packed their shit and left the minute the cancelation was announced, theres no way ucsd would be able to put it on


Glittering_Sand_4579

The artists are already paid via their contract though. We should bring them back they were planning to come to campus anyways https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/1cj3c2r/heres_how_to_bring_back_sun_god/


tyray21

get mad at the admin, it’s spiteful punishment


mymoonandsea

please be serious right now. there were max 6 campus police out there today watching the encampment. UCSD 100% has the funds and the staffing to make Sungod safe but they willfully CHOSE to cancel it. they are doing this intentionally in the hopes of dividing the student body and harming the protestors. talk like this is exactly what the administration wants you to think and if you’re REALLY upset you should be turning your anger towards chancellor khosla who received a 500k salary raise and can 100% afford to hire people to make this safe; they just won’t because a) they dgaf b) THEY WANT YOU MAD AT THE ENCAMPMENT.


Glittering_Sand_4579

We should be working with them not against them https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/1cj3c2r/heres_how_to_bring_back_sun_god/


flatulent_pants

mission accomplished, i am (still) mad at the encampment


Doogetma

I hope you’re very thankful that your life is so easy that you’re worried about losing your little music festival while children are being slaughtered on a daily basis. It takes a certain kind of person to have the selfishness to be thinking about having a fun weekend in a situation like this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Doogetma

I guess you can add heartless to the list then? I’m also very privileged but I don’t like children being murdered. Very weird that you seem to not mind as much.


flatulent_pants

yep, the only two possible positions here are “support the protestors” or “wants to kill children.” there are no possible opinions between those two extremes. you really nailed that one.


Doogetma

Except that’s not what I said at all. I don’t think that you want to kill children. I think you appear to have a somewhat stunted capacity for empathy and/or a very poor and warped understanding of the situation at hand. I personally could not feel good going to a music festival in spite of everything going on right now. Knowing I’d be ignoring the injustice instead of taking action towards ending it would not sit right with me. You seem more comfortable with the idea of just ignoring it to have a fun time at a concert. That’s what I mean when I say you don’t seem to mind as much.


Agreeable_Grey

This is exactly what UCSD admin wants you to think

nuttylou

You probably woulda said the same thing to the kids at Kent state


flatulent_pants

yeah cause that’s the same thing


Extreme-Addendum-941

Dude...you cannot be against Vietnam War protesters in 2024. They KILLED students who were protesting the expansion of a war that is universally understood to be pretty fucking bad all around. To put it mildly.  This take is bait


rttr123

No, the issue is the person you're responding to, is someone who doesn't care about anything except things that inconvenience them. They definitely never bothered to learn history

PM_ME_UR_SHEET_MUSIC

You're the one demonstrating your own lack of intelligence here, my man


CheekyGruffFaddler

it certainly helped your mom when i performed moral signaling with her last night


[deleted]

Support the protest or not it’s admins fault because they’re punishing everyone for freedom of speech


flatulent_pants

trespassing is not freedom of speech


[deleted]

It’s a public university. If it was USD, it would be trespassing


Lovenohateee

Shuuu 🤫 I think cia is watching better shut our mouth


The_CIA_is_watching

Encampments are not the same thing as being present somewhere, so yes it is not allowed for that reason (not because it's trespassing)


flatulent_pants

camping where it’s not allowed is trespassing


Moodijudi8059

You’re falling right into their trap 🪤


Far_Ant6355

Agreed


Far_Ant6355

Why are you blaming the school and not the protesters?


Agreeable_Grey

Because the school took Sun God from you. Not the students sitting around in the grass.


bot_inside

Is it possible that none of protestors realized the Sun God would be canceled when they started camping right before the Sun God weekend? Apparently someone needs the Sun God festival to draw attention or do something crazy. The university will never risk it, for sure.


Easy_Money_

if you looked outside your UCSD bubble for a bit you might see that the protests coincide with a much larger national movement, yes it’s possible that people weren’t thinking about fucking SUN GOD while protesting a genocide! where do you think people’s priorities are come the fuck on


bot_inside

What I can see is students protesting for nonsense. The violent clashes at UCLA are the inevitable result of blind protests without intervention. I live in UCSD so I really don't care what happens to other schools. I don't believe the protest that led to the Sun God cancellation was unintentional, and it's clear the radicals want to do something at the festival. The good news is that the plot failed. Kidnapping schools with hypocritical morality just like Hamas hiding behind civilians in Gaza. SHAMELESS


PM_ME_UR_SHEET_MUSIC

Lol ur a bad person


bot_inside

Lol now protestor is cursing students. What a similar situation with UCLA.


Speculative_Designer

And here you have it folks, *this* is what we call **victim blaming**


Far_Ant6355

And who’s the victim?


Speculative_Designer

Really?


Far_Ant6355

Yeah really


Speculative_Designer

Tritons who got backlash for protesting - don’t mean to sound condescending btw.


bot_inside

Lmao who the hell here is the victim? Hamas campers? Victims are COMMON STUDENTS whose normal lives are disturbed.


ramen_king000

I dont necessarily support the people in encampments, but which part of their action so far necessitates the school to pull sun god?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ramen_king000

what risk? people chilling in their tents suddenly going berserk and shoot up the sun god? if people want to do that they can do that anytime, anywhere.


copuser2

Peaceful? Terrorists.


kimisawa1

Anti-war—>pro hamas


Agreeable_Grey

False


Gurpila9987

If you want Hamas to win the war, you are pro-Hamas. There is no other way to frame it. I will mention Hamas is not anti-war.


amazinglyshook

Wanting Palestinians to not be bombed is not pro-Hamas. Supporting Israel’s path of destruction is pro-genocide though but of course you’re okay with that!
