Actually they are getting smarter and more organized. Only using official spokespeople for messaging so less idiotic comments released. Masking to stop camera usage for facial recognition.

I have no doubt there are people protesting generically against the govt and some govt systems as well.

It’s still a minority. Most college kids want to study and get good grades, party and/both. These world events don’t track with most unless you’re in a very liberal college. These are just lost kids who’ve been brainwashed. Many don’t even go to the school and are just professional protestors
Of course it is. I was commenting on the organizing. I've seen footage of message unity, not speaking to journalists and vloggers. And that means they will have serious outreach.

This summer the grads may decide to have a summer of protest. A lot will depend on Rafah.

Will these "students" hack it out for the summer? Will Mommy and Daddy threaten to cut them off if they don't stop their childish games?
Why don't they camp out and protest in winter? Those tents can get pretty hot in the summer.

I don't have 8 minutes to waste, so I watched the first bunch of people he tried to get a "gotcha" quote from. It seems to me, they were quite smart, deferring comments to the spokespeople. You could go to any large crowd of people, and there is a good chance that eventually you'll find some people who are ill-informed and willing to speak, and as the Dunning-Kruger effect proves, they will look/sound like idiots. I see it all the time from videos at MAGA rallies. Now, I'm not going to suggest there are Mensa candidates there, but some of the shit they say is mind blowingly stupid.

So, while not everyone will be able to articulate why they are supporting the protests, I don't think it makes them any less genuine.

Riiiiight so no one funded the acquisition of pallets stacked with bricks and strategically placing them at the major protest and looting locations and no one funded antifa to organize either hmmmmm 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, because that did not happen.....outside of right-wing fever dreams....But the facts show this is just a conspiracy theory that took hold of those opposed to BLM/Antifa or what ever you want to call it.

There is no reason for ALL students to know why exactly they are protesting. There are students who know why they are protesting and who organize these protests. There are others who join in to support their friends. There are still others who join in because "something is happening". However it is absolutely okay and expected for some students to not know why they are protesting.
Nonsense. Each protester may not be able to speak to the reasons of all other protesters, or even of the organizers, but surely they know their own reasons for being there/holding signs or flags/chanting (unless they are suffering from some form of mental illness, and have no power to reason). If the reason is "something is happening, and I just want to see what it is", that makes them a voyeur, not a protester.

I think an honest answer for a lot of them is "Someone promised me $100 and camping gear if I showed up here today, and said there's more where that came from if I hang around longer".

It`s a Cosplay revolution, what a bunch of fucking idiots.
And if you notice, some of there protestors are gay and carry rainbow flags. Im not sure they are even aware they will get persecuted acting like that in Gaza.
