Demanding more union benefits or something or another.

It's a hunger strike but they're still allowed to eat. Yeah

This is not The Onion, just Ivy League millenials

1. Why are students in a union to begin with.

2. WTF are they protesting? That's a sweet gig.

Yeah, the kids whose parents would actually give in if they held their breath grow up to be hunger strikers.

These kids apparently would just fake holding their breath

Is that real? Screw this POS if so.

Also, how the hell can you have a "symbolic" hunger strike?

What they already receive in benefits to be a student is better than a lot of jobs. The "intellectual" elite surely are removing the intellectual part.

They need a non-symbolic size 12 boot shoved up their pansy asses. Sheesh.


Edit - Can't wait for Generation Z to take over. Then we can all chant "Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah. Hey Hey Hey, good-bye" to these dysfunctional crybabies.

I watched their video. Ugly women and pussified dudes. And a slide in there about resisting Trump. As if this is somehow Trump-related.

Except for one brunette, everyone in the video fits the Limbaugh Theorem of Why Ugly Women Become Feminists.
