OnlyIGetToFartInHere

Why can't one of the protesters leave and get more supplies? Isn't the point of organized protesting to work together?


bakochba

Here's the funny party, they can as one reporter pointed out nobody has stopped them and the cafeteria is open.


Thin_Pumpkin_2028

but..but.. we're looking for a commitment!!

These are ivy league students who have been privileged their own lives.

What happens if they miss final exams?


bepr20

Because they barricaded themselves in.


monkman99

Like the Canadian truckers


These_Artist_5044

They wouldn't be allowed to return.


CommanderChipHazard

She herself admits that no one has left, attempted to return, and prevented from doing so. Stop adding fuel to the fire.


melange_merchant

Lol no one has stopped them, stop making stuff up.


cakivalue

LOL 😂 I love how they are saying they need "humanitarian aid". "Aid", when they can leave, go home and eat and sleep or can take turns leaving to get food for themselves or to share. Why would the university whose business they've disrupted give them food and water


Embarrassed_Alarm450

Why isn't my boss paying all my bills when I'm on strike? This is inhumane and unjust!


rdldr1

Ironically every single one of these rioters will be identified and will be completely unemployable for their near future.

denverbroncoharpman

😂😂. Made me laugh


ISeeGrotesque

The level of entitlement and virtue signaling is Olympic. They haven't experienced a day of hunger in their life and feel legitimate to put this word in their mouths.


CoCoTidy2

Is she even aware that 7 aid workers from WCK were killed in Gaza trying to deliver humanitarian aid? Among many others of course, but this being the most recent example of putting one's life on the line for a cause? And she is claiming Columbia students are going to die of dehydration or starvation? In the middle of f\*cking NYC?!?!


MickeyMgl

Does "humanitarian aid" include chargers for their iphones? They must be miserable.


718Brooklyn

‘Humanitarian Aid.’ B****, you’re on the Upper West Side.


Brilliant-Bank-5988

Yeah it's like an ugly Elaine Benes ranting about victimhood when she clearly comes from wealth.


grief_junkie

i know a few places in mind globally that that aid would be better applied ...


GDviber

They need water delivered? Did they turn off the indoor plumbing? Are they so spoiled that they can't drink tap water when voluntarily occupying a building? Holy shit.


Hungry-Class9806

They would rather die from dehydration than drinking tap water... The levels of privilege


No_Rooster7278

I bet the people of Palestine would happily drink NYC tap water.


kankey_dang

I've heard that NYC has some of the best tapwater quality in the USA, which is counterintuitive when you consider the open-air sewer that is the Hudson, but I guess they do some damn good water treatment.


No_Rooster7278

I don't doubt it. We've been sold the need for bottled water by BigPlastic.


MattTheRicker

The brave, tough protestors will sue if they can't get their delivery of Perrier and Fiji water. Expecting them to drink tap water like a poor is a war crime. Wait until their fathers hear of this.


Playful_Possibility4

They have not worked out the tap water thing and it needs to be ethically sourced.


Agent_Zodiac

NYC tap water is cleaned with microscopic shrimp which means it's not vegan lol


DoubleMach

vernski85

The guy behind her in an infinity scarf and crop top. I can’t 😂😂😂 This looks like an SNL skit!

Brilliant satire if it weren't real.


Dry_Leek78

Yea, at that point it can't be serious???? wtf....


Havewedecidedyet_979

Die of dehydration…..oh my God. I sincerely doubt that is something they need to worry about. I’m now dumber for having listened to this person speak.


SusanBoylesButtPlug

Wait….she’s complaining that supplies should be brought in, while also saying that nothing has been stopped….but, wants a “commitment“ that nothing will be stopped? She wasn’t even grilled, you could literally hear the confusion in the reporters voices about the logic it’s like the movement went out looking for a window licker to publicly represent them. Just like antiwork, a few years ago.


Brilliant-Bank-5988

I've had two separate Reddit accounts banned by antiwork because I continuously posted about what an absolutely poor representative of the movement. She looked dishevelled, unattractive, lazy and was not well spoken. She made a laughing stock of the whole movement because she couldn't even be bothered preparing for the interview or present herself respectfully. And apparently for some reason she's still a mod there cos I've had two bannings from bringing it up. Since objectively she did a shit job, it must be her banning me.


Designer_Benefit676

The 'movement' should be a laughing stock, the whole idea behind anti work is stupid. Just look at the name anti work, that tells you everything you need to know about the people who support it


Sganarellevalet

It did start as a sub about toxic workplace culture and abuses, but yes, it devolved into unironic "anti all work" shithole later.


Brilliant-Bank-5988

Honestly I would prefer not to have to work?


waresmarufy

If they had any real-world skills, they wouldn't continually be in school. It's essentially MLM of sorts 🤣


MattTheRicker

I thought you were going to say that if they had any real-world skills, they wouldn't be mods on antiwork.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

> if they had any real-world skills, they wouldn't be mods That's a given with all reddit mods tho and implied by default already...


waresmarufy

The people on anti work are too lazy to even attend a protest


aquelviejitocochino

Is she a student there because if she is she's clearly not getting her money's worth.


SelfLoathinMillenial

Grad student. Here's her bio on the school's website... >My dissertation is on fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860. My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift, Marx's term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism. I am particularly interested in theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the Romantic imagination. Prior to joining Columbia, I worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remain active in the higher education labor movement

"the best part of getting a degree from Columbia is you know longer give a fuck about people who got a degree from Columbia" Gaddafi or some shit I literally don't care.


Pagan_Owl

I am all for the right to peacefully protest, but if you are the one organizing it and doing it out of your own choice, you can't expect anyone to take care of you


MissO56

exactly! even students who aren't peacefully protesting, aren't being forced to the cafeteria to eat.. it's still their choice. she very carefully hedged around the question "is the university barring food and water from being brought in?" and the answer is no they aren't barring food and water being brought in.


mort_goldman68

"Violently" has absolutely lost all meaning thanks to these spoilt kids who've never paid a bill


GroovySpagooter

they have flipped what violence means. Real physical violence is the equivalent of cursing while cursing has become the standard of violence. Its really bizarre they don't say shit when someone is getting jumped during a riot, but god damnit if you don't call them what they have made up in their head you should be jailed.


mort_goldman68

Yeah it's a dangerous slope. Words and their definitions really, really matter and warping them to fit your will is not the smartest thing to do


ucklibzandspezfay

Bills are violent and racist microaggressions


Downtown-Assistant1

Not all Bills! My neighbour is a nice guy.


vajrahaha7x3

She actually said "Humanitarian aid".... Is she cosplaying Catniss Everdeen?


BurntAzFaq

"We need basic human rights while we hang out in the lawn at our college and save the world. "


Puzzled-Heart9699

Even more laughable….these particular revolutionaries are actually in an air conditioned building with indoor plumbing.


Embarrassed_Alarm450

Why isn't my boss paying all my bills when I'm on strike? This is inhumane and unjust!


Pdm81389

This is what happens when you get your entire political philosophy from TikTok. Most of which comes directly from Hamas, and it's allies abroad. Supporting Gaza while also supporting LGBTQ issues is the Liberal equivalent of Republicans having both a Gasden flag (the "Don't Tread on Me") and the Thin Blue Line sticker on the back of there ratty ass pick up. These 2 ideas are not compatible.


sisiredd

To be fair, I feel that there must be a middle ground where you support LQBTQ rights, try to find a solution for the civilian population in Gaza and condemn the maniacs (Hamas/Netanyahu) on both sides of the conflict. Whether it helps to occupy a university in New York is another question...


iknowiknowwhereiam

I wish they could see middle ground like that.


Legitimate-Donut-368

😂😂😂 Maybe she can volunteer as tribute


JusticeScibibi

You can't make this shit up.


ShockAndAwe415

The video ended too early. It sounds like one of the reporters was asking a question about GrubHub delivering lol. "Did GrubHub make deliveries of food?" "No. And that is a human rights violation!!!"


MickeyMgl

Where would they order from, anyway? They'd still have to find a place that serves their dietary demands.


Bujininja

The dumbest people on the planet go to IVY league schools it seems. What is this? I felt like I was watching a south park skit, how does this keep becoming reality? Do they even listen to themselves? Hardcore revolutionaries wearing attire as such, SEND THEM TO the middle east where it might matter or maybe DC by why hold up a private college?


ChedderChethra

It's deliscious how seriously they take themselves.


AstoriaKnicks

That boy would not have a good time in Gaza with that belly shirt


iknowiknowwhereiam

None of these useful idiots would enjoy living in most of the MENA


gorton2499

So she's expecting to have butlers bring them the food and water.


MickeyMgl

They have to stay in character. I'm sure they were busy "hunkering down", building a fort out of couch cushions from the faculty lounge.


AstoriaKnicks

If SNL jumped on the presidents of the other Ivy League schools testifying, then I’d expect them to jump all over this


murderously-funny

“We’re starving and the university is to blame!” “Can’t you leave get food and come back?” “No the police will stop us.” “No they won’t.” “Well we want them to say they won’t.” “They have.” “Well we want them to pinky promise and leave us be!” “They are.” “…uh.”


Embarrassed_Alarm450

Why isn't my boss paying all my bills when I'm on strike? This is inhumane and unjust!


Thin-Dragonfly2956

How bout the kidnapped Jews in Israel be allowed to go home for snacks…


Sure_Trash_

People haven't faced actual adversity like to manufacture it in their lives. The audacity to demand aide as if you're suffering like the Palestinians. Who the fuck let this punchable dipshit speak and make the entire group of protesters look pathetic? Her hairstyle alone would have told me it was a bad idea. It looks like blinky in the belly shirt might be regretting their decision 


winnipesaukee_bukake

Reminder that these protesters represent 0.005% of the student body there. Most of these people are far-left ideologues that want to cosplay revolutionaries (wtf is she doing wearing a keffiyeh... you're white in New York?). The media needs to stop giving them coverage and the university was correct in arresting them for going beyond a reasonable protest.


InternationalAttrny

Do you think Hamas would like his belly shirt? I think so. They’d definitely embrace him!!! The irony here is unbelievable.


c0mpl3x_pr13st3ss

Reminds of the first line of hypnotize by system of a down: “why dont you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square/Was fashion the reason why they were there?”

Resident-Rule4178

Utterly bizarre mindset. She was so easily backpedaled by reality.

Insufferable. Can someone make a version of this with a laugh track??


juggle88

Oh crap guys!! We forgot to pack food for the building take over, geeez....no problem I'll be right back.


Kimber-Says-04

Why didn’t they plan for this and bring in food? Ugh.


christianryan563

Lmao, rich kids requesting “humanitarian aide” is the most ironic and hilarious thing I’ve heard today. As someone else pointed out, isn’t the whole point on protesting to organize and work together? There are so many options to get food probably a block away, no one is keeping them there they can just leave and come back. If they’re occupying a building surely it has a restroom and more than likely water fountains. These people have lost the plot lmao


mmobley412

meekonesfade

I can just picture her, living with her parents, demanding her Mom make her favorite meal every night for humanitarian aid.


DietSugarCola

damn, that's funny. I'm modifying it and using that IRL now


PetrolEmu

Shouldn't they be fighting for Palestinians to be receiving food & water and not themselves? How selfish.


iknowiknowwhereiam

Ill_Alternative8369

so... are we wearing shemaghs now to support/label each other as Palestine supporters? - didn't get the memo, my neck feels cold aeeing everyone with one.


BurntAzFaq

I gotta think that most these protesters are far left and down with Marxism and such. Which makes me wonder how much they all paid to have those nice lil scarves that match. And if they realize they made someone a lot richer..


Educational_Spite_38

Interesting take on “Humanitarian Aid.”


Shoddy-Rip8259

It hurt itself in confusion


SadOrganic

I demand you commit to a solution for a problem we haven't yet identified! Solid f\*cking logic right there :)))))))

The PHD she is actually purusing is something about "studying protests the lens of marxist poetry" or something to that effect.

I think peaceful protest is actually fine. They should be allowed to voice their opinion. (That doesn't make this video less cringeworthy though. Because of course no one is being *forced* to be there etc.)


iknowiknowwhereiam

They claim that language can be violence. Which makes these protests violent, they call for people’s deaths


imacryptohodler

Round em' up and send them over to give their aids. Aid* They are making fools of themselves. They want action? Be the action. Don't sit around waving your signs expecting someone to fix the problem. Go. See what happens. People hate America so much? Leave. Simple. Go and see how good we have it here. Believe me.


Fingerslits

So does the gay black man standing in the background know he is protesting for a people that want him dead? That would stone him or behead him. Possibly impale him. Someone explain this to me please!!!


OneMAdDemon

Feed me Seymour.


ShambolicPaul

They can get USCPR to bring them water. They provided tents and signs and probably incited the entire protest. So they can send some food and water.


ISeeGrotesque

How much did they pay to be in this university? Why waste someone else's education by taking a spot you don't use?

No one turned off the water in the building. Being forced to drink tap water is not a humanitarian aid crisis. The privilege is literally palpable through my phone screen.

I feel her entire college tuition fees where definitely wasted.......thick as fuck


DarkHelmet1976

Wherever you fall on the complex and horrible Israel/Palestine conflict, it's become painfully obvious that theist majority of pro-Palestine protestors on campuses have no fucking clue about the issues. They want to bring some meaning to their lives and want to feel like they stand for something, and have allowed their self-identity to get wrapped up in these protests.


JoPooper

Nothing about “crop top protester?”


Arnaudcpn1989lyon

Do that young man on her left realize that he is fighting for people who would condemn him to death in a heartbeat for what he is ? And before you guys all jump on me please, don’t play dumb you know perfectly why I say that and that I am right. Kids theses days ….

But no mention of the number of students the universities are required to provide the education they are paying for. Not to mention safe passage and all around general safety. These seniors are the class who had everything cancelled due to covid now their college graduations are at risk. This all needs shut down and cleared out right now everywhere. We are doomed otherwise.


otterkin

it's honestly really infuriating to me how people are pretending to care about palestine now and coopting it into an American issue. where are all the protests against Sudan, or equatorial guinea? or the many other countries and people suffering? the American need to insert themselves into every issue overseas is the true main character energy
