Professor Dave, who teaches philosophy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, just posted this:
“Once these ICE agents are hanging from a rope after their trial… we get to go up to their families and literally drink their tears. We get to quench our thirst with their tears… everyone’s laughing and pointing at their family members, taking joy in the suffering of their family members.”
In other clips, which are uploaded in the comments, Professor Dave calls for spitting in the National Guard’s face (calling them traitors), says they should “take up their arms and turn them toward ice,” labels ICE “gestapo secret police” and “no better than yahtzees,” and claims abolishing ICE is the “moderate position” while demanding prosecutions.
In another video, he plays the sound of a woman screaming while he laughs under the caption “This will be laughing to the reaction of an ICE agents family after one gets melted.”
This isn’t philosophy. This is sickening incitement and revenge fantasy. A Professor of Philosophy — the field built on reason, ethics, and critical thinking — is out here celebrating graphic fantasies of lynching federal agents and sadistically enjoying the suffering of their families.
Almost every one of Dave’s videos calls for graphic violence.
University of Hawaii — is this acceptable from your faculty? Is this what taxpayer dollars fund at a public university?
