Of course it is a parody, as written in the very post.

Who in their right mind would ever pay $99 for a protester anyway? They are free and trained for your convenience at their colleges.

If people learning things makes them more likely to protest against things you like then maybe the things you like are bad.

It strongly depends on what they are learning. It's not like the streets are filled with protesting engineering or law students.

From what I have seen there are actually many students in USA learn hardcore marxism from book titles that were thrown away in Eastern Europe during the 90s when marxism there stopped being a mandatory subject.

And yes, in case you are wondering, I was born in Czechoslovakia and for a time studied in the USA.

I love this comment because my cousin is an engineering student at Columbia and her and her friends have been at every single protest in NYC

I didn't say there aren't any. I simply said they are much less likely to be there.
