Did they meet their aims 100%? No, not yet. That doesn't mean they didn't accomplish something.

Right? When I started my boycott in 2021, you could barely say "Palestine" online.

Every step, no matter how difficult or maligned, is one step closer to the destination. Keep protesting.

Clearly the women’s suffrage movement failed too because women weren’t given the right to vote immediately after the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 🙄

People don’t want to admit that once again the students were right well in advance of the obviousness of their position.

most protests don’t even have demands… they’re more like we don’t like this. at least with the gaza protests they did result in the removal of investment in genocide

People, very especially people on the Left, have a bad habit of not seeing the value in a tactic unless it's the One Tactic To Rule Them All that efficiently results in victory. Reality is almost never like that. You build the wall one brick at a time.

The left's lack of persistence compared to the right drives me bonkers.

There was a student protest at the college near where I live on March 2nd, and the local DA is currently trying to prosecute one of the students involved because he passively blocked a professor from interfering with the protest.

Also I have to say, some of the people who are talking shit about people who tried to do something about Gaza truly were not paying attention at any point to any of those people and are just making shit up about what they said, did, and wanted.

I clearly remember pro-Pali protesters celebrating on Oct. 8th and saying Zionists deserve death. Those people are not interested in peace. They prefer to import the I/P conflict to the US.

People saying that the Uncommitted movement wanted Harris to lose just...were not paying attention, at all, to the absolute hope that so many people held when Harris took over because she might do something different.

Also, they accomplished enough of their aims that campus protests weren't the most effective use of their time and energy, so they shifted tactics. That's not giving up, that's adapting to the reality on the ground. 🤷‍♂️
