College snowflakes across the US are up in arms about the Israel-Hamas conflict, because apparently, they have nothing better to do than virtue signal and play revolutionary. Pro-Palestine protestors, because Israel is literally the worst and palestine is totally innocent, have decided to erect little camping grounds on campuses because, you know, camping equals protest or something.

These "encampments" are basically just hipster Glamping trips with a political twist. Students set up tents, cuddle up with their participation trophies, and pretend they're making a difference. It's like a mini-Burning Man, but without the drugs and nudity, probably.

Even universities like Columbia, George Washington, and Virginia Tech are dealing with these crybaby protestors. But the real fun began at everyone's favorite woke campus, the University of Texas at Austin.

After a silent vigil for "scholasticide" (fancy word for pretending to care about education in Gaza), UT-Austin faculty and students decided to hold hands and sing kumbaya by hosting a "rally for diversity, equity, and inclusion."

"The university would rather enforce and put money into policing our communities and policing their own students than they would into supporting them," said Anachí Ponce, a UT student who attended the protest. "These are students who are protesting a genocide and the lack of action from the UT administration for the way that they haven't been super helpful against hate crimes against Muslim students on campus."

Yeah, Anachí, we get it. You're a special snowflake and the big, mean university isn't catering to your every whim. How dare they not give into your demands immediately!

These protests are all about demanding that universities "divest" from Israeli weapons manufacturers. In other words, these whiny students want their schools to stop investing in companies that make fireworks Israel uses to pop palestinian balloons. They're literally protesting the fact that their universities put money into things that make money. The horror!

It's clear that these students have no idea how the real world works. But hey, keep camping out and shouting slogans. Maybe if you throw enough tantrums, mommy and daddy university will give you a cookie.
