Megha Vemuri called out MIT for having research ties with the Israeli army and "aiding and abetting" the country with its "assault on the Palestinian people."

    Edit: No idea how explaining the definition of the acronym “MIC” got 3 downvotes. Real reddit-tier energy on this thread.

      Lemmy usually has 1 to 5 bots randomly downvoting, its normal.

      Sometime something totally apolitical like cat photos also get random 1-5 downvotes.

      Presumably because you’re 10min behind the others, and you posted a raw wiki link. I assume those 3 people got a “just fucking google it” vibe from it.

      Atleast what my reddit PTSD tells me it could be.

      Downvoted for complaining about downvotes. The internet points do nothing. Everyone please downvote me so I can demonstrate how little it matters.
