I find the campus protesters rather comical. I suppose if they represented a group with real political power I might feel differently.
They make demands and my question is "Okay, if they don't give you what you want, then what?" Will they set up camp and stay until they are 30? My own inclination would be to work around them and carry on …

They make demands and my question is "Okay, if they don't give you what you want, then what?" Will they set up camp and stay until they are 30? My own inclination would be to work around them and carry on life as normal. Their numbers are not sufficient.
I also think that the administrations should put their demands up for a referendum by the entire student body with the agreement that if their demands are supported by the majority then they will be taken up on an advisory basis. IF on the other hand the majority of the student body does not support their demands they will pack it up and move on.
Here in Florida they decided to go on a hunger strike which lasted 4 or 5 days before an organic veggie burger became irresistible. As I commented yesterday Palestinians and other Arabs rarely wore Keffiyeh but now they are the fashion du jour for the social justice jihadists of all ethnic types. Apparently this is the right kind of cultural appropriation.
To be honest I am so tired of all these popup protests that exist only because of the mimetic power of social media. It echoes the silliness of the "Occupy Movement."
I understand mass protests like the 2017 Women's March and the perennial March for Life which apparently hasn't heard of "the Dobbs" decision. I get the LGBTQ+ parades, the Civil Rights protests and marches, etc. They command attention because of their size.
But what are these protests/counter protests in front of the Supreme Court building or random campuses across the country, supposed to accomplish? Do the Justices know or care? Strictly speaking such things should not influence them at all.
Personally I see a direct connection between these and similar protests and January 6. There is some psychological need deeper than the causes they are supporting that needs to be projected into the world.
And don't ever forget that some of this is being driven from a Russian Bot Farm.
