      I think Caitlin Ochs would have something to say about that, since she’s the credited photographer.

    • Do you have any evidence it’s AI generated? Everything in it looks normal to me, several AI image detectors clear it, and the photographer (Caitlin Ochs) has worked for National Geographic and the NYT in the past. That’s a big accusation to make against a specific person without proof.

    Why the fuck are you protesting at colleges? What’s the school going to do in the realm of international politics?

    If I went to this school, I wouldn’t want a tent city set up in the middle of campus with a bunch of lefties chanting lame slogans either. I don’t know if I’d call the cops, but I’d sure be happy when they shut the fuck up.

      Maybe American history should be one of your first classes.

      College campuses have been literal battlegrounds in the US for ages.

      1970 Kent state 4 students killed by the ohio national guard during anti-Vietnam war protests began a tide of student protests and which basically turned the entire nation against the war.

      1968 Howard university student protests were part of the broader civil rights movement.

      But, who cares. They’re just kids.

      Ps. Oh, and if you think that colleges are devoid of politics and political rhetoric…I just don’t know how you could be so wrong.

        This is a worldwide phenomenon. Universities are ideas places, and those ideas sometimes take off. Some examples of human rights movements that started with students:

        • The White Rose, Nazi Germany.

        • The Soweto Uprising, Apartheid South Africa

        • May 1968, France

        • Tiananmen Square, China

      Heh. Next you’ll be asking why do people drink or hook up at college and you wish they wouldnt.

      God damn protesting colonials. They should have just stopped whining about their problems and enjoy being British subjects.

      The school would optimally divest from israel and israeli companies.
