I'm sure OFA has been involved in all of these to some extent. Certainly Mizzou.

What's the end game of a two year old throwing a tantrum? They don't think about it, it just feels satisfying to do in the moment.

All it'll take is a few Deans from top tier school to tell them to frick off and I think it'll stop. Expel some of the ones who can afford 40k a semester and see what their parents do. gon raise all kindza hell.

Attention. It makes young stupid people feel like they are a part of something. I remember when I was in college one of my buddies was visiting New York or Philly, somewhere up north at least, when they were having those "Occupy" protests. He said that he went up to one of them to try to actually engage in conversation and ask exactly what this was all about. No one could give any explanations besides vague platitudes. Same thing. These kids don't even know of anything substantive or concrete that they want.

No one has had it worse than a 19 yo Yale student who has to live through Halloween.

It's going to take decades for that poor delicate flower to recover from that.

I really thought they had momentum initially. However a social media based movement can be easily hijacked with something as simple as a hashtag.

A another thing bothers me, and this is exclusive to the college protest,is the over activism of these suburban black kids at PWI schools. It comes across as them begging to be accepted by their white peers.

Most people I know don't take them serious.

Why waste your college years being unhappy?

like google earth

zoom out

it's a small part of the larger picture, it adds chaos, it divides people

so they look for big brother to eventually save them

but it's just another trap...

What is the endgame?

You really think these people think that far ahead? They're probably sitting around high fiving each other and laughing hysterically in their safe spaces that they scammed universities into giving into their absurd demands

At least that Yale Prof was the only one to call out this ridiculousness. They couldn't take it. So they resorted to f bombs, walking away and finally disappearing.

No cohesive endgame.

It's just time in the natural cycle where they are starting to realize the Government isn't the solution.

Pea brains move to the next supposed authority they are close to.

And worse case scenario, they end up on your street.

Never realizing they have the choice to work hard and make something of themselves without depending on handouts... which in fact, they are unwilling if not incapable of doing.
