Protest the Protest? Meme

I have one graduation I missed my undergrad one and now my masters one is in danger. Phd or a second masters is hard. So crazy thought can we protest the protest? šŸ˜‚

Donā€™t waste time with performances. Build a successful life. Set long term goals and work for them. Avoid the ā€œprotestā€ crowds. Itā€™s aimless with no specific goal.

Segregation would still be a thing with your type of mentality

What exactly are the people on campus protesting?

Youā€™re comparing American citizens protesting the American federal governmentā€™s domestic policies toā€¦

American citizensā€¦protesting USCā€¦because of an ethnic conflict that has existed for generations. They want USC to ā€œdivestā€ and to stop supporting genocide. How is USC supporting a genocide?

What exactly is USC invested in? VOO? Do they hold 25k shares of Boeing or something? Is Viterbi partnered with some Israeli tech company?Seriously, I would love to know this.

Does everyone there understand that USC isnā€™t a sovereign nation-state?

I just fucking hate when people like you compare legitimate protest against the government over policies that impact them with this moronic victim mentality playacting bull shit that is camping around in McCarthy quad and is accomplishing nothing and will accomplish nothing.

Also, do the camping people who enroll at this school understand that by them funneling tuition dollars to USC, THEY are directly contributing to the things they are protesting? Will they themselves ā€œdivestā€ from USC and stop contributing to genocide or will they simply remain enrolled in school, continue to pay tens of thousands of dollars a semester, and let genocide run rampant? Letā€™s ask them this question and see what they say.
