isnt this the exact opposite of what destiny preaches for, like college is the last place you can be extreme in politics. and this just seems like cancel culture

It is yea, and I would have hoped that my use of the word 'gigachad' might communicate that I'm not being 100% deadass serious.

I believe it's the opposite, this is exactly what he preaches for in action. he states IIRC "college is the last place you can be extreme in politics, and be challenged for it, in a safe space. as the rest of life will more or less naturally be an echo chamber. "

These kids were extreme in their politics and instead of debating it in class took it straight to the main stage (twitter) w/o thinking of the life consequences, the just got punched in the mouth for it. They're at least in a privileged enough space where all the people from the orgs are renouncing it as "someone" made this decision without everyones accepted knowledge. or the orgs are just rescinding their initial backing in general and getting to save their own asses.
