The other day I posted about how proud I was with my alma mater’s response to the proposed Marxist-Palestinian Love Fest on the university quad. (Basically, free speech until you threaten someone or take over a building, then discipline.) Welp. I spoke too soon. The U of C campus is now a circus too. The basic problem is, you can’t “negotiate” with entitled little children. They don’t want to negotiate. They don’t even know how, since most of them have never been told “no.” They just want media attention and for their videos to go viral. So the issue du jour (Occupy Wall Street, BLM, now this) is never the real issue.

Very disappointed that the administration has apparently caved in. But I thought you might be amused at the gift requests of the “protestors.” So here they are. They’re either preparing for a vigorous game of Rollerball or an orgy. Not sure which.

This post was promoted to the Main Feed at the recommendation of Ricochet's members.

    Is it so hard to just say no and point them to the infirmary at the local precinct house?

    And isn’t there technology which blocks Internet reception? Why wouldn’t the PTB immediately shut off power to the building, close the main valves on the water supply, turn on the jammer, and set up a pig roast barbecue outside?

    This is on the quad - a jammer would take down academic buildings

    Also, a colleague who works there said a group of dudes showed up with US flags & triggered the encampment. It started a fight, and police came in.

    They could probably do with a few bars of Irish Spring.®️ “Manly, yes, but they’ll like it too.”

    And shaving supplies for the, uh, women.

    How do these kids know about CATs? Abdominal bandages, all that trauma stuff ... you know, the person who wrote that list made enough little errors that I think they read a magazine or something. They don't know what they're talking about.

    These little children are just larping. The administrators who take them seriously are larping right along, taking their openly faked adulthood as if they believed in it.
