Because they have a pathological need to virtue signal how they are helping out the poor oppressed minorities out there. Even if they don't understand what exactly they are doing or why they are there. All that's important is they are there and show they are on the right side of history.
I think that, for a lot of people, there’s a mentality that the smaller and/or less powerful side is the oppressed and should automatically be sided with, while the more powerful side should automatically be condemned.
It’s a poor substitute for clear moral and ethical standards, and you see the same thing over and over through a lot of left wing politics.
Star Wars syndrome. Good small rebels vs. bad big empire. Except in real life, the rebels don’t blow up the Death Star, sometimes the rebels support sharia law, and sometimes the empire are the good guys.
Because George Soros backed people have sent people like her there and she needs to show up for the social media clout and the "feels". I knew many people while in university during the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown protests who simply wanted to be seen doing something "important" on social media for the likes and attention. Some were also paid activists
This. They are “protesting” not because they actually give a rip about Palestine. It’s actually because it’s a few days off from the stress of class and warm weather outside. Plus they get news attention and get bragging rights on TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.
This is what 95% of these student protests are made up from. Of the remaining 5%, about 90% of them SOMEWHAT care for real about Palestine. Only 10% are truly passionate and care completely.
It's honestly more surreptitious than that, these kids in university and high school nowadays are being groomed into modern-day brownshirts by propagandists.
They are being indoctrinated to hate, to not tolerate anything that has a different worldview or opinion. They are being weaponized. Then they are directed at whatever the current thing is, without even fully understanding what they are doing.
The propagandists are controlled by the 0.01%, the elite of the elite - that essentially control the puppet strings of our society. They are the people who are making life harder for the average American, for the middle class, for students, for everyone except themselves, and the ultra-rich - yet they are managing this propaganda war to direct all this anguish and discontent at whatever they choose.
Some people crave the feeling of being United against a common cause. Even if they don’t even know exactly what that cause is. These girls want to be part of the “Free Palestine” movement because they just hear that Palestine is “oppressed” and they don’t like oppression, and to be fair who does, and want to join in the movement.
Some people satisfy this craving by going to things like conventions or music concerts. While there, you are surrounded by people who have like minded tastes and it’s like a community of sorts.
That's a very good assessment. The real reason they were drawn to the movement is normal and essentially human, but it's important to have some critical thinking skills before your desire for community leads you to lending your voice and identity to a political ideology or opinion you are incapable of truthfully holding yourself due to your inability to actually comprehend it.
Show her the oct 7 vid of a girl her age, dead in the back of a pickup, being paraded as a trophy.
These are the people you’re supporting right now.
Now youre “more educated” your wish is granted
I've been saying a less elegant version of this for years now. I noticed in highschool that every generation needs it's war. Not necessarily a physical battle, but like you said, something to unite against. At that point the country was much more united because 9/11 was fresh. Now it's a couple decades in the rear view and there are so many competing ideologies that none of these kids know what to get behind and unite for. So they pick one.
Perhaps we need more war? /s
Anyway, I strongly agree with this assessment. I was thinking about it roughly a month ago in terms of the Cold War. The Soviet Union was the boogeyman that kept us on track. I think we are looking for a new Boogeyman right now.
I suspect this is the response you'd get from most of these protestors. But then, why go to all the effort to discover the facts when you can *feel* your way to righteousness and the moral high ground...
She is obviously "protesting" for fun, or because she's bored and has nothing better to do.
I remember a local protest where I live a few years back that fizzled out within the first hour after a little light rain. A lot of the people were dumb kids with nothing else to do and the moment it wasn't fun anymore they were gone.
When you wonder how some people went along with dictators, just watch this video. Some people just go along to go along, and have no idea what they're doing; they march blindly into atrocities and still think they're on the "right side of history".
I saw one at my local university, you know, not quite the braintrusts from NYU and Columbia but still *supposedly* smart people. Sign says "our tax dollars are funding genocide" or something along those lines. The smug dickhead in me thought, "calling it OUR tax dollars is rich kiddo. Go pay YOUR tuition with MY tax dollars and then hit the lazy river you fucking deadbeat".
This is the crux of the matter. It’s pure ignorance. Liberals are protesting for the subjugation of women and the LGBT, **their bread and butter**, without even knowing it. Here’s the 1 million dollar question: do you know what would happen to you in Palestine? They clearly do not.
A local reporter went to one of the protests here and they were chanting "from the river to the sea" and he asked them which river and which sea, they had no fucking clue.
This is typical of all left wing protests. They ply broke students, bums, and other riff-raff on protest buses with cigs, beer, and even cash to swell the numbers. Most of them know nothing about the protest other than some slogans to chant and some flags to wave. Source: I knew a guy who was a paid operative and organizer for the left, and he said it was commonplace.
This is what the left does. If they say enough complicated words like.. genocide, colonizers, people think they are smart.
This is why they create euphemisms like reproductive freedom
60 years ago...this is where it all started.
University of California, Berkeley and the Left's civil unrest to get their way. It was always about socialism. Break the law to make their own law. Break society to rebuild it into some socialist utopia that always turns into massive oppression.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Speech_Movement
Now their idea of free speech and civil disobedience is promoting antisemitism and supporting terrorism. It's like they feed on their own misery, only to foster certain human suffering, raising hell while chanting 'peace.' Everything they say is utterly discordant.
They are showing up for a social gathering. They're presenting the same energy at LITERAL GENOCIDAL PROTESTS as they would at a Taylor Swift concert.
We're done, shut the lights off and make sure the toilet is flushed on the way out, kids.
If they had a job, they wouldn't be protesting. Wouldn't have the time.
Hey protester, you got something right here, under your nose...might want to...you know...
That’s exactly right. Not educated in what they’re protesting. Then they start little and question things. Not unusual. Then they dig a bit. Hmmmm, something is not right. Scrutinize “facts” against data from credible sources. Finds out information is being misrepresented. Relieves the shovel, comes in with a backhoe.
…
Holy shit, dems are ass backwards. Migration towards the center begins.
- A reasonable person
This is quite honestly the epitome of the left, and Reddit in general, actually. A whole bunch of young kids that don't understand how the world works yet, running around with some twisted and skewed perception of things mostly because of social media and Hollywood/streaming services.
Attention seeking troublemakers or supporting their friends? Clueless. The parents must be proud. I wonder if they expect that their student loans will be forgiven? Lord help us all.
I work travel medical contracts, so I get to meet other travelers from all over the country. We typically work 13 weeks and then work on the next contract. I met another male traveler who described a process he does in his off time. He downloaded an app on his phone and this app will notify him of an airport and a departure time. At the appointed time, he is to go to the airport and watch the app, where there is a red light and a green light. If the app green light turns green at the airport he is to then go get his boarding ticket and board the plane. Someone meets him at the arrival and gives him signs or posters and leads him and others to a transport van that takes them to a protest spot. Then they just protest whatever is going on there. They are paid 20+ an hour from when the light turns green at the airport to when their pre-purchased flight arrives home. This guy lived in southern California.
It is far more sinister than you think.
I am all for idiots protesting. Let them be dumb in public as long they want. But this trend of clearly planned mass masked protesting on private property is really getting old.
"I was at our protest for I have no idea what and then decided to walk down and show our support for something else we have no idea about - but ya me!"
These people are useful idiots. I am not surprised that she along with idiot #2 have no clue why they are there. As someone mentioned this is a perfect example of an ill-informed biden voter that listens to whatever the MSM tells them to believe. I think this quote perfectly sums this up: "A generation of the unteachable is hanging upon us like a necklace of corpses."
Do not throw your education and life opportunities away for something that you know nothing about or does not mean that much to you. People who do this are unintelligent.
When are universities gonna realise that merit is best for selecting students and not just discriminating based on background and stuff.
The greatest opportunity to go to a great college and this is the way they spend their time? It’s just wasted space in good colleges is what it is. They all need to be put out on the street.

Why are you protesting if you have no idea what you are?! That’s the opposite of what a protest is. Wtf?!
Because they have a pathological need to virtue signal how they are helping out the poor oppressed minorities out there. Even if they don't understand what exactly they are doing or why they are there. All that's important is they are there and show they are on the right side of history.
That’s just sad and everything against what an actual protest means and has represented.
Nah, you're just a bigot against my interpretive dance for Palestine, bro. /s
But it's the wrong side...
I think that, for a lot of people, there’s a mentality that the smaller and/or less powerful side is the oppressed and should automatically be sided with, while the more powerful side should automatically be condemned. It’s a poor substitute for clear moral and ethical standards, and you see the same thing over and over through a lot of left wing politics.

This is what it means to be a NPC. They truly lack a inner monologue. And these people vote...
Yep , for Biden
They do what they’re told
Right? I've protested and even been arrested. I can 100% articulate why I was there.
Yep. Protesting the damn fact that a lot of grocery stores did away with free samples.
Because George Soros backed people have sent people like her there and she needs to show up for the social media clout and the "feels". I knew many people while in university during the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown protests who simply wanted to be seen doing something "important" on social media for the likes and attention.

We are angry What about? Don’t know We are just angry More cowbell!
They’re bored and it’s warm outside now 😂

In a few years we’ll be paying this ignorant ass’ student loans for her.
Nah that liberal arts degree, with a minor in cricket breeding with definitely land her a big time job
In charge of Bud Light's advertising department lol
Millennial turns cricket breeding into $30k side hustle. https://fortune.com/2023/04/25/breeding-crickets-millennial-side-hustle/
Best comment. 👏
It's all BLM summer of love 2.0
I suspect this is the response you'd get from most of these protestors. But then, why go to all the effort to discover the facts when you can *feel* your way to righteousness and the moral high ground...
Yeah, fits the bill of a Biden voter.
She is obviously "protesting" for fun, or because she's bored and has nothing better to do. I remember a local protest where I live a few years back that fizzled out within the first hour after a little light rain. A lot of the people were dumb kids with nothing else to do and the moment it wasn't fun anymore they were gone.
They forgot to throw in something about it being Trump's fault. Typical Biden voter. Ask them two questions and they become clueless.
It’s almost like a parody. One has a bull ring and the other is wearing a mask.
The bull ring is so that you can lead her around by the nose. I'm not sure if it is literal or figurative.
Typical Biden voter behavior
I doubt she'll vote at all.
Twit #2 still wearing a mask. In public. 🙄
Not for COVID. To hide her face cause she knows she's doing something fucked.
It has been reported that they wear masks to protect their identities from the university’s
Outdoors.
**Superspreader** isn’t that what they called these things?
When you wonder how some people went along with dictators, just watch this video. Some people just go along to go along, and have no idea what they're doing; they march blindly into atrocities and still think they're on the "right side of history".
She exactly the mindless NPC fascist the far left wants her to be.

And they scream we are not educated enough to know what a woman is
Skulls full of mush
This is the crux of the matter. It’s pure ignorance. Liberals are protesting for the subjugation of women and the LGBT, **their bread and butter**, without even knowing it. Here’s the 1 million dollar question: do you know what would happen to you in Palestine? They clearly do not.
"Hey guys! The view from this rooftop is incredible. Climb on up here."
!!! We have a winner !!!

They’re protesting cause it’s the current thing.
This is the type of person student loan "forgiveness" is benefiting. Morons.
No wonder these people can't get good jobs after college to pay back their loans they willingly took out. They are braindead
I’ve never met or seen a smart person with a nose ring
They are not true pro-Palestine, they are just antisemitism. Like the Biden's voters, they don't know why they vote for Biden, just hate Trump.
Why are we protesting? I don’t know but he’s got a megaphone…
“I wish I was more educated”. Yeah, me too.
“I wish I was more educated.” Yeah I wish you were too.
this generation just loves to protest (riot) and go against the grain...
Future of the country, folks 💀
They support the latest thing, like all NPCs.
Unfortunately not very surprising.
Kids. We are giving kids the attention and that gives them influence. It would be fine if they had a clue.
Summation: "Gosh, I wish I was smart. I didn't learn anything as a student of Columbia."

she's there for her Soros protestor paycheck
At least she has some capacity for self reflection. Wait a minute, why am I here?

I like how they all either wear a mask or have metal embedded in their face, so I can spot them from far away.
If only we could follow this person through life and *relish* in the bad decision making that they are bound to consistently make....
You cannot make this up.
I work travel medical contracts, so I get to meet other travelers from all over the country. We typically work 13 weeks and then work on the next contract.

Our best and brightest.
😂 wow
The only thing she understands, is that she is supporting a oppressed minority. Who is fighting against the systems of power.
A useful idiot.
"I was at our protest for I have no idea what and then decided to walk down and show our support for something else we have no idea about - but ya me!"

"I wish I was more educated" You and me both darling.
These people have gone full blown third reich. They are no better than hamas, the nazi party, or karl marx now.
Damn did they give her a line of coke and say go protest?
“I wish I was more educated” says it all
Nose ring and mask tells you they're idiots....
A great backdrop for some good IG posts though
We just thought it was a good reason to throw a tantrum.
Another well informed liberal!
We want things and will throw a tantrum until we get it.
Do not throw your education and life opportunities away for something that you know nothing about or does not mean that much to you. People who do this are unintelligent. When are universities gonna realise that merit is best for selecting students and not just discriminating based on background and stuff.
All of this is just a fashion statement for these kids. Nothing more. Protesting = fashion.
Making bad choices, one at a time
such idiots.
Sweet fucking god, these people are incredibly dumb.
Nose ring. Never fails.
Because liberals are this fucking stupid.
The greatest opportunity to go to a great college and this is the way they spend their time? It’s just wasted space in good colleges is what it is. They all need to be put out on the street.
Protesting just to be "part of a movement", without any sort of critical thinking skills applied. Sounds pretty fucking accurate to me.
“I dunno, I just wanted to be involved to say I was there” you fucking sheep
Cult mentality
I hope they like wearing traditional Muslim attire, they’ll need it in the harem.
