I'm not saying it's photoshoped, but the sign looks out of place and like an invitation to change its text.

That is exactly the kind of bs a university would put on a sign

Here is a LinkedIn post from at least 1 month prior with a photo of a similar sign. Source

Here is a LinkedIn post from at least 3 weeks prior that has been edited but contains the same phrase. Source. Because the post has been edited, it does not act as standalone evidence but it is supporting evidence.

The phrase seems to be an existing slogan for the campus, and there seems to be signage with that phrase and color of background of text. The photo in the original post seems to be plausible.

I went to school there. They had signs that read similar things back then. The university’s slogan is ‘what starts here changes the world’

Boy, it’s amazing how responsive they are in when it's a bunch of students protesting war crimes, as opposed to a bunch of students cowering in classrooms trying to avoid getting shot.

How else are the kids going to play dress-up with military surplus? Besides, e v e r y o n e knows a ceramic plate carrier is a prerequisite for dealing with any college student. Their words cut so deep.

You have to protect Ben Netanyahu from criticism. Nothing is more important.

There were two company of soldiers at Uvalde. Just a reminder.

Maggoty ,

What are you on about?

InternetCitizen2 ,

Cops like to play soldier. There were four hundred of them at Uvalde; two company worth.

Maggoty ,

Ah okay.

The thin yellow line is certainly well documented at this point.

It's from the Neal Young song about that.

Lurch in the back is wondering if they have waited long enough before they get to start killing people.

Hey... don't drag Lurch in to this. Lurch is nice.

I appreciate the juxtaposition with the sign. Great image.

agissilver ,

This looks like it's right next to the student activity center so I'm guessing the sign is real. But good meme fodder.

University protests was how Greece got rid of the military Junta in the 70s

They may seem futile but can be very powerful!

RizzRustbolt ,

The fall of the Fifth Republic started on campuses as well.

thank you for making it your Texas

That was a fucking lie.

I feel like I seen this move. It was an older one though. Maybe it was made in the 70s or so.

Seems like the perfect time to pull the rug out and switch locations to protest at City Hall. Fuck these RoboCop clowns.
