I was just talking about something similar with a therapy client. Teens these days have no fear of accountability. They snort meth in the high school bathroom. No one cares. Vape on the school bus, the driver just says to be discreet. But to paraphrase Johnny Cash… Sooner or later Gods gonna cut you down.
There are some exit points. If you go into a blue collar trade after high school the bullshit stops or you get fired. College prolongs childish behavior. But then the second exit point arrives. Those with useless degrees and a mountain of debt with nothing but minimum wage job prospects. Natural consequences of poor decision making strike. But the final group of people are the worst. They got a good degree and land a decent white collar job with a corporate mommy and daddy that continue to tolerate the behavior. I feel sorry for those people when their choices or God catch up with them. They’ll never see it coming.
Its good these kids finally got treated like the adults they should be. Hopefully the tide is turning…
I still have writing to do but I need to catch another wave of intense focus….Having kids is tiring…
The administration was starving protestors? How does that work again? If I break into your house, and you don't bring me a sandwich, then I get to complain that you're starving me?
That video was wild. Yelling at the guy and Clapping. Their. Hands. To. Emphasize. Each. Word. Civil rights activism is, or used to be, about incurring the consequences of your law-breaking to shine a light on the unjustness of the law. I can't picture Rosa Parks saying to her arresting officer, "I. Demand. To. Know. That. Getting. Up. Means. I. Will. Not. Be. Arrested. You don't know? You don't know? Well, find me someone who knows then. You are useless."
I mean I get that these are just kids and we shouldn't judge them too harshly for youthful stupidity, but, wowzer, MLK these kids are not...
There are only three possible purposes that can be served by public demonstrations: persuasion, intimidation, and look-at-me-I'm-crusading-for-justice cosplay.
Like other pro-Hamas demonstrators, these kids appear to be interested in only the second and third purposes.
How on earth did any of these kids get into Vanderbilt? Seriously. How?
Seeing this on X was so funny.

My mind is wandering.
LOL! I would love to see what happens when these people have to ask Hamas if they can leave captivity to change their tampon.
"We do not feel safe", they say.
They are safe, whether they feel it or not.
The rest of us are not safe, because of them.

How proud all of their parents must be. $80,000 a year well spent.
You can't have your tampon and eat it too, lady!
She wore a red tank top to coordinate with her keffiyeh.
Designer labels are going to start selling $500 keffiyehs for these girls.
That will most definitely stop a war in the Middle East.
These kids are batshit crazy. Performative protesting.
Thank you Suzy for some late night entertainment
I know I'm probably focusing on the wrong thing here but dear god their voices make me want to slap them
“Pro tip: wear a pad to the all-night protest.”
👏🏻👏🏻😂😂
Wow it's 7AM and I've already read too much internet.

I was crying laughing through most of this. Bravo
