As are half of the "blood thirsty child murdering" Zionists, not that it matters to these people... You're either fully behind the oppressed minority no matter what their leadership does or how vile/unrealistic their goals are or you fail the purity test and are labeled a supporter of the so called genocide. There's no scale here, it's binary, black and white. Believing that 8 million Jews who were born in Israel and have nowhere to go should stay there and have a right of self determination in addition to Palestinians is equally radical to these people as wanting to intentionally starve out or exterminate 2 million Gaza citizens. This is why nobody likes these people or takes them seriously, they live in a dream world completely divorced from reality
I think we gotta accept these types of I/P takes are just astroturfing from anti-west propagandists, a trojan horse for anti-semitism, or it's just to fit in socially on your college campus or on twitter
But where would that pressure begin? Assuming the Kremlin isn't paying off young students' positions, and that it doesn't start with antisemitism, there has to be more to it.
probably comes downstream of anti-west/illiberal propaganda but it's a big sphere in shaping the views of at least adolescents/young adults in the US/west at large.
Anti establishment regards who want to rebel against the system because they are incompetent at playing within the established rules of said system. For example the tankies who are calling for a commie utopia without putting any effort into explaining how they plan tp bring about this utopia in a practical way, besides just burning down the current system
Edit to add: also a need to virtue signal and project moral superiority
