    “Basic humanitarian aid.”

    Can’t vouch for this, but somebody on X is saying that young woman majors in “Theories of the imagination & poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens.”

    I know US infrastructure is in a parlous state but I suspect Columbia’s buildings still have running water.

    Surely you don’t expect these students to drink tap water?

    Well I spent my early college years playing MMOs and watching Adult Swim twice a night only to sleep through all my early classes… Oh to be young again also popular…

    We’re going to have a block party protest. You must allow us to bring in a kegger water!

    I absolutely love the capitulation under the gentle questioning, as she de-escalates the demands until she grudgingly admits that no, they aren’t actually demanding that the awful powers-that-be desist from starving them and making them die of thirst, because that isn’t what actually is happening; they really just want reassurance from the authorities that they won’t violently prevent the delivery of food and drink, if the supporters try to deliver sustenance. They want constant reassurances that the world will continue to be a safe space for coddled upper-class twits, don’t they? They’re six-year-olds, who ran to their rooms after a tantrum, and are now pleading with their amused but exasperated mothers not to kill them if they come out of their room for tea.

    No, Tiffany, you can’t order GrubHub when you’re grounded.

    I would have already turned off water and electricity to the building. Cut off wifi and jam phone reception if possible. Surround the building and let nobody come in with food or water. Arrest everybody who comes out. See if any of these larpers can figure out how to live without the rest of us providing them with everything. The hardcore preppers live by the knowledge that when SHTF for real, nobody is coming to help. These chumps need to think about that.

    Yeah, if you were hoping to dissuade people that you aren’t a right-winger that isn’t the way to do it…
