It is a given that Hamas and others have come across our southern border. So, how many are students and how many are Hamas. How long will there even be a difference?
The campus protesters of the ‘60s were boomers.
Early-gen boomers that became the MBAs and politicians we now suffer with. They grew up.
Campus protesters today are late-gen millennials, and “end-of-alphabet” generations.
They have an entirely different mindset.
The difference is that the 60s protesters understood that nothing will be given to them and they would need to work within a team to accomplish whatever silly idea they may have had.
Today’s protesters have never been told ‘no!’ and just throw a tantrum, irrespective of the cause.
Like the toddler throwing a “grocery store” tantrum, they expect to be left alone on the floor of the aisle until they are finished.
Back in the 70’s when I was in college during the steaking craze, about 100 student streakers gathered at the University President’s house and he applauded. When asked why he said he much preferred this protesting to the anti-war protests of the 60s.
Bkmk
Most of these “college” protesters are professional rioters that were paid to raise hell.
HAMAS USA chapters are busy building tunnels
The same conductor is waving the same baton. The make-up of the orchestra is a little different, but it’s still playing the same music.
Most of the protesters are basically LARPing and wouldn’t have the guts to do anything like that. But there’s always one in ten thousands...
I remember the 60s very well. I’m stocking up on popcorn for the Demo Convention in Chicago. I figure Netanyahu will assault Rafah. Tens of thousands of additional civilians will be being slaughtered as the IDF bogs down there. This will all snowball right up to Biden’s shindig in August. Remember ‘68? Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin are both dead, let’s hope their spirit lives on and does to the Dems what it did Chicago ‘68.
Irony:
Guess Who Showed Up at U. of Chicago Pro-Hamas Protest? Anti-American Activist and Obama Pal Bill Ayers
They already have. That’s why Joe Pedo is paying for their “college participation diplomas” with taxpayer dollars.
The Democrats LOVE real terrorists! Democratic presidents have pardoned Weather Underground members and other terrorists that actually shot members of congress and bombed the capital!
Selective outrage from the left about J6! They don’t care about J6! They only care that it was conservatives protesting!
A democrat will pardon them.
Reminds me of the old Li’l Abner comic strip from 1966 in which the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (S.W.I.N.E.) take over the campus.
The terrified University Regents decide to sell the University! The only buyers were the Mafia who brings in the mob enforcers.
Here come the SWINE protesting!
I still get a thrill remembering how the leader of the S.W.I.N.E. used his front teeth to assault the brass knuckles of the mob enforcers. Who says brass won’t make a spark! These did. Big ones at that!
Anyone else remember that old comic strip? Could easily be reprinted today with no changes.
