A group of students at Princeton University decided to go on a “hunger strike” to demand action on their political agenda. They complained about being “starved” by the university, but after only nine days, they called it quits. It seems like they couldn’t handle the consequences of their own actions.
It’s quite humorous to see these activists struggle to stick to their so-called principles. They were quick to backpedal and even renamed their protest a “rotary hunger strike” to save face. It’s a clear display of the lack of commitment and seriousness behind their initial grandstanding.

Instead of reflecting on their failed protest, the students shifted the focus to new participants fasting for a “free Palestine,” further blurring the lines of their original demands. It’s telling of their scattered priorities and inability to stay true to their cause.
The demands made by these students were unrealistic and lacked any substantial reasoning. Calling for a boycott of Israel and absolving participants of any consequences for their actions reveals a sense of entitlement and disregard for accountability.
In the end, this whole ordeal serves as a perfect example of the left’s tendency to prioritize virtue signaling over actual change. It’s a reminder that actions have consequences, and frivolous demands will only lead to a dead end. Hopefully, these students have learned that accountability is key in any legitimate protest.
