      Wasting thousands of dollars to turn their campuses into trashy tent-cities and ultimately accomplish nothing? They probably go to their parent’s upper-class homes at night to sleep, and stop for artisanal coffees on their way back to protesting in the morning.

      Performative junk.

        A lot of these universities, especially ones like Columbia, MIT, Yale, Cornell, Stanford and Harvard, are “rich people” universities. They’ll survive.

        Tbh I’m kinda surprised that we haven’t had an increasing number of rich parents telling the schools to go fuck themselves because their silver-spooned babies are having their things trashed and finding themselves in jail.

        They may. And they’re decent enough to wish everyone had access to those privledges. But hey, get yours and fuck everyone else, I guess.

    Odd my tension levels are nominal. People have a right to protest and these kids are protesting. Sure I did that on the eve of the second Iraq war and well ok bad example. Point is they have a right to make some noise and they are.
