Stop this nonsense…useless analysis
Seriously trying to analyze this? The protests weren’t violent until the zios and cops showed up…
People essentially whining about protests…. LISTEN to the entire segment. The focus/point isn’t the protests. He’s talking about things that have changed communities, groups, and how people don’t connect, connect less, and or connect differently.
So you don't see that congress is trying to end end freedom of speech in college campuses? Anyone who listens to you is an idiot
Kids have a hard time hearing criticism. They only like your free speech if they agree with it. What a generation of clowns we have in the West.
He gives good takes at times, but other times, Fareed Zaharia is like a different flavor of John Bolton. Fear mongering to Bolton's war mongering.
Funny, the article claims that “College students are lonelier, and more disengaged” . How standing for a persecuted people during a genocide in the making can be seen as disengaged? Isn’t turning your back to people in need of help is called disengagement from humanity. Those “elites” are completely disconnected from reality.

Maybe you should attend the protests before commenting on them. Most people that have seen these protests in person have a lot of praise for the students and their organized goals and non-violent principles. By in large, the main issues have been police and the stupid behavior of university leadership. the truth is that the news content generators like Fareed are living online more than interacting with real people and doing real journalism.
MSM lost so badly with its pro Israel narrative that now it spews nonsense . I would say a meltdown
This is hilariously off target, in a “ok gramps go back to playing sudoku” kind of way
Useless
Nonsenses. Outrage grows because Israel commits terrorism, uses food as a weapon and destroys all of Gaza with US weapons while our leaders take photos smiling with Netanyahu.
What happens in Washington DC has an impact on Students.
He wants to keep his job. He sees 5 lights and says there are only 4 because he has to. Honestly, I feel so foolish thinking I looked up to him and took his insights as something to think about. Both he and Bill Mahr had a real opportunity to look power in the eye and call out what is actually happening underneath. Each has a version of politically incorrect that drive their audience interest. There is a bigger picture here. He is both kowtowing to his bosses and setting the stage for what Modi is planning in India. This is the face of a man who knows what is happening, where the money is being funneled and is not motivated to tell the full story. I especially feel sorry for Americans who had to pay the price for their elite to get their way in that part of the world. Its so sad this man values his job over the negative impact the yoke has over the country.
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
What a stupid take. This is not about students not being a sense of community. But because there is a genocide (if you don't like the term, then mass murder of civilians) that is happening in Gaza.
When you went to Yale you supported apartheid South Africa
Gaslighting those protesting genocide is a new low. CNN is sickening
You are not a human you once were when your mom sent you school
Seriously? Protesting is a right to stop what is clearly wrong
Biden's dogs are cute indeed
If Israel were to agree to an unconditional ceasefire and two state solution, would Hamas stop? NO! Of course not. The Hamas charter calls for the extermination of Israel. The Palestinians have been offered a two-state solution many times and rejected the offers each time. The Palestinians have VIOLATED cease fires routinely. Given the change, HAMAS WILL CONTINUE VIOLENCE. It is wholly naive to believe just because Hamas is losing that they would stop and it is wholly STUPID to believe Hamas is the victim. Israel has a right to defend itself and the US is right to support them. The only reason other Arab countries have finally sought peace with Israel is because Israel stopped them. Since the beginning of Israel, they have fought of repeated attacks from Arab countries. To say Israel is as evil as North Korea is simply disingenuous. The Columbia professor is completely dishonest.
It’s because of the type of thinking displayed here by Zakaria that college campuses are so fucked up.
Utterly bizarre off-topic analysis
Colleges represent young minds thinking, speaking, acting. So get over analysing them as if something has gone wrong. What's changed is you have aged. You speak to their actions as if they are committing a mistake or crime. And look for the new social media as reason for why their behaviour, as if they do not think or understand.
I agreee with him.
This 'cry in the wilderness' is nothing new… Are intellectuals now claiming to also profess knowledge of the heaven and hell they (themselves) created? Because I am 'finally' beginning to sense the perversity of the latest protest (or rebellion)!
Here’s my take: Students today may or may not be alienated as a result of our loss of community, but they sure seem to be enraged about the genocide Israel is conducting in Gaza, with full American support.
This guy doesn’t get it
Fareed said nothing about genocide..
I like and respect Fareed in general. How can you analyze a communal activity of Jewish and Arab students protesting together, showing passion for what they believe in (regardless of your take on this), and determine they don’t have a sense of community. Let’s face it, the ‘good old days’ are what brought us to this point in history. Also, speaking g of disengagement, technology created and/or accelerated this: focusing on phones to communicate, the Covid affect of keeping people from congregating, which led to on-line courses and. Jobs that still proliferate.
So, it’s complicated…..
Where is your take this week Fareed? Are you afraid of offending your pro-israel friends? You don't have the courage to tell the truth about Gaza because you only care about your cushy position at CNN.
Wow! Opposing to genocide is loss of community.
There is a utility for social disengagement. Not participating in social groups that have gotten more toxic over the decades now due to poor culture coming from the top of the organizations would be the healthiest choice for anyone.
Also, you can join the college community only if you are a leftist
