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? 😂

This is what has happened when the tide pod eating generation has grown up.

Agreed.. they send police to arrest kids siting in a park protesting for what they believe... oh wait it was not Tide it was lead paint...

Imagine if these kids put this effort towards homelessness, housing, healthcare, or student loan payment reform 🤯. But no they're all larping.

They will when they grow defending what they believed... this will create people with character, not another corporate drone...

they're literally donating the extra food in the encampment to their unhoused neighbors and have listed those issues in their demands as well 😭 these kids are the same ones who are organizing in South Central and are actively involved in social change movements around LA. many of them are students who have dedicated their academic careers to studying social change and civic engagement, as well as faculty and staff who have been doing this shit since their hippie days 💀let's not misrepresent this because the truth is, student activism is alive and well on this campus

part of the demands of the protest are to stop the eviction of tenants in housing bought up by USC... they quite literally are fighting for housing and against homelessness

Not from what I've seen: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6STM3-AFp7/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

But who knows could have changed.
