If you're going to protest for a cause, and you really believe in that cause, you should be willing to sacrifice and suffer for it. Women who protested for suffrage did. So did civil rights activists in the 60s. They were beaten, harassed, arrested. But they believed their cause was bigger than their personal suffering.
Modern-day campus protesters? Not so much. They think their protests should be more like they're glamping at Cochella and not advocating for a cause.
So when Princeton student's complained about the 'unsafe' conditions surrounding their 'hungers strike for Gaza', they got a lesson in what protests are really all about:
On the third day of Princeton’s Hunger Strike for Gaza, as the temperatures fall and rain continues, @Princeton admin refuses still to allow our strikers to have tents, leaving them huddled under umbrellas, vulnerable and unsafe. Shameful and cruel. pic.twitter.com/GbYALLcgzN

'Shameful and cruel' that Princeton won't indulge their toddler temper tantrums.
They are free to leave any time they want.
But because the protest is not really about Gaza, but about them and their performative virtue signaling, they'll whine on X instead.
It should also be noted this brave protester locked replies. But the quotes are golden.
Including these little tidbits.
Why do Soledad O'Brien, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and HILLARY CLINTON of ALL people follow this little Commie rat? https://t.co/BQlCeKGWsm pic.twitter.com/VKCnFCBeuc

We all know why.
Hillary Clinton follows fewer than 1,000 people.

Priorities.
Being gang raped and murdered, then having your naked body paraded through the streets while the “innocent”public cheers is a hell of a lot more shameful and cruel.

Perfect gif for this.
The entire pro-Palestinian cause consists of demanding no consequences for violent actions and playing victim for imagined outrages. https://t.co/XGCNxESTSU

Nailed it.
If it’s unsafe then they can always go home. https://t.co/USzbta1RCb

They can hunger strike from their dorm room, too.
You Jew-hating Nazis insist you want to suffer for your terrorist palestinian brethren. So suffer. Embrace the suck, Nazis. https://t.co/3M2YeXvvz6

Embrace it good and hard.
The only people truly “unsafe” on Princeton’s campus are Jewish students and it’s because of you and your pals. Read a book. https://t.co/NqfjlGuMI1

Yep.
A history book, preferably.

You can always return to the warm confines of your dorm rooms and starve there. https://t.co/W9F8gVNwDh
