So, apparently some stuff went down, and naturally, the professional grievance-mongers are out in force, staging protests from sea to shining sea and in various banana republics across the globe. You know the drill: virtue-signaling, performative outrage, and maybe a smashed Starbucks window or two for good measure. Because, you know, that solves everything.

Here in the US, it's the usual suspects: Antifa cosplayers, trust fund babies waving socialist flags, and perpetually aggrieved academics whining about 'systemic oppression.' Meanwhile, overseas, it's a mixed bag of angry mobs, disgruntled expats, and whatever tinpot dictator is looking for an excuse to stir up some trouble.

The experts – and by experts, I mean talking heads on CNN and MSNBC – are telling us that these protests are a 'powerful expression of collective grief and anger.' Right. More like a bunch of bored millennials looking for something to do on a Tuesday afternoon. Maybe they should try getting a job.

Of course, the media is lapping it up. Gotta keep those clicks coming, even if it means amplifying the voices of the perpetually offended. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to live our lives, pay our taxes, and not get canceled for saying something slightly politically incorrect.

But hey, at least it's entertaining. I mean, who doesn't love watching a bunch of self-righteous protesters getting pepper-sprayed by the cops? It's like a real-life episode of 'Cops,' only with more pronouns and less common sense.

The long-term impact? Probably nothing. These protests will fizzle out, the media will move on to the next outrage du jour, and the world will keep spinning. But hey, at least the protesters got some good Instagram photos out of it. That's what really matters, right?

In the end, just keep calm and carry on. Ignore the noise, laugh at the absurdity, and remember that most of these people wouldn't know real hardship if it slapped them in the face with a soy latte.

Time to go touch grass and maybe troll some libs.
