Student protests are a business now?
The anti-war protests are not only a joke now. https://youtu.be/D3sJBQpd1hc They became also a business. People sitting at University spaces are mostly not students nor staff. Scarfs are being sold by $35 and several ones sitting down are millionaires. https://nypost.com/2024/05/04/opinion/the-agitators-of-the-anti-israel-protests-at-elite-universities-were-outsiders/amp/ Has it just turned into a business?

You might be partially right but i also fear this is just a way for the media to get people to dismiss protestors moving forward
These are rich LARPers and well funded professional protesters for the most part.
I don’t know but surely annoying and make me stop hating Israel. This is an unruly group of anarchists disguising as supporting Palestine. https://youtu.be/W6dUsZm2nxc?si=HOvh7TiaktH6qDMd
Two things can be true at the same time. One can be legitimately outraged by the ongoing mass slaughter and torture of civilians while others try to capitalize on a tragedy financially or politically.
Can we start a protest inside Truveta with 68 out of 133 being outsiders because we are worried about the tech layoffs or Gaza? Can we just schedule it and count on you to open the doors for us?
From the Boston Tea Party to the civil rights protests of the 60s, effective protests are rarely totally “lawful” and they aren’t supposed to be pleasant. The whole point of a protest is to make things unpleasant until people change something. Not just hold a sign in an approved zone. But if I thought Truveta were complicit in war crimes and that a protest would help bring that complicity to an end, sure.
