This strikes me as not-quite-right. She's correct that the campus protest in particular has lost power, but social media isn't where we should be looking for an explanation. Simply put: universities used to take student disruption more seriously because they took *their students* more seriously.

A man says "turns out my favourite director was a domestic abuser." Another man puts his hand on the other guy's shoulder and says "sucks for you man." He then effusively states "every piece of media I've ever enjoyed was made by a good person..." He then smugly points to him self. He continues "...and thus, I am a good person."

this thread tho

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.
