It's just astounding to me how fragile our society is to disruption of something so short-term inconsequential.

Like, if the protests are so bad, the outcome is... canceled classes. Not even some critical function of our society in the here and now like... power production, or food production.

If this is the response to rejecting genocide, then these protests are sorely needed.
