[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 77666823, member: 302807"] I'd agree. Indeed. Whether we look at the examples set by Greta or Colin....the idea of "protest" seems to have been reduced to "look at me and how upset I am over (insert nebulous problem with no solution ) now fix it". I don't see these as protests though....but as grifts. Ultimately, without any endpoint, they serve as little more than fame generating projects. I'm not a big fan of most of the new terms and phrases that have popped up in recent years....but virtue signaling is one of the few useful ones that genuinely describes a fairly novel phenomenon. [MEDIA=youtube]mwxrGJzJwLA[/MEDIA] I'm going to stand by the statement that these people aren't smart. This interview of two protesters at NYU went viral because they openly admit they have no clue why they are protesting NYU. The "woke" ideology that started these sheep down their path may have been similar in mindset to the cultural revolution....but these are the useful idiots of the eastern bloc. The cultural revolution wasn't this disorganized and stupid. It didn't just have a method, it had a goal. Communist purges served a dual purpose....the elimination of any communist leadership that was aware of the many failures of the communist leader, and the scapegoating of those failures onto the middle management leadership. It may look senseless and pointlessly cruel....but it definitely had a point and end goal. Again, I think you're giving them too much credit... These are not smart people. That may be the rhetoric they use...but it doesn't explain why they are there. The crowd can be heard chanting "disclose...divest". The disclose part of this is literally a request for a reason to protest. This is an easy situation to fix. 1. Tear gas. 2. Arrests. 3. Expulsion. You need not worry about or fear these new Marxists [USER=326155]@RDKirk[/USER] . I can recall a few years ago when they concerned me but they aren't focused on revolution (which is the only thing Marxism succeeds at) and they fail immediately at basically everything else. It's not an ideology that's centered on truth...so it quite simply cannot succeed at identifying and solving problems. [/QUOTE]
