I will NEVER understand the presumed purpose of a hunger strike.

That’s because they’re not using it correctly. A hunger strike is supposed to be opposition to a forced action. That way it shows the disdain for taking that act, in that you’d be willing to starve to death before you took said action.

It’s not supposed to be used to get someone to do something. Especially, if the group you’re trying to move on something actually doesn’t like your group. You would actually be doing them a favor at that point.
