I have quite a lot of experience in these encampment style of protesting when I was a student and again when I was a working adult (across the world somewhere else).
I would say this is a fair assessment. and the general public (especially those screaming "law and order") just don't get what it's like.
There are not PR for these protest nor KYC component, there's hijacking, with everything is publicly on display 24/7.
Of course it's easy to scream "law and order".
And it's not a surprise it's the same crowd that think Israel is worth defending about, when it's quite literally a bloodlust loose dog that has zero respect for the US and the allies.
Without the west support, Israel would have never received all the positive spotlight and tech as if it's not just another ultra right wing nationalistic country in the region.
For people who are upset about the chaos of this type of protest, what do you think is a more productive way to oppose them?
reply
protest is an escalation.
people who are upset should push for action from politicians.
Not necessarily to clear them out but to ask them to do something.
The issue is people think the solution is clearing them out by force.
We all know it doesn't work, because it's a patch work that does nothing in solving the root cause.
It will need negotiation at all levels, effective and early enough so things don't get worse. And it will get worse the longer it gets.
Personally I think it's ironic there's so much dislike against these protest when many here wanted a huge global anti vaccine protest.

I think the mental adjustment has been difficult for people. For the past decade, campus lefties have generally been pretty irritating to most people and it's easy to just default into that feeling.
