Are they being used to take the American peoples attention away from the border, the recent foreign aid bills, and the economy? Not to mention the Biden administrations debacle in Niger. Taking attention away from those things is definitely beneficial for the democrats and RINOs.

I'd say they're coordinated by Iran-backed affiliates to make Biden look bad. To what end, I don't know, considering Trump would be even worse for Iran.

I like the way OP thinks, and the questions they're asking. Blue star for OP!
Sadly the "Wag the Dog"-style sensationalistic distraction fits all too well.
They may also be garden-variety social discontent being sown by one near-peer rival or another, but I don't think it's very effective along those lines.
The thing that really irritates me is that no one on the inside ever comes out and exposes operations like this to the general public. Are they that fanatical about their cause?
In any case I'd argue that these protests are likely to have the effect of eroding Palestinian support in the US, basically by invoking memories of CHAZ or other Covid-time stupidity. I think that notion is table stakes on this board, but it might also implicate one high-capability intelligence agency or another.

This has more of a 1968 feel to it than a 2020. In '68, the democrat party was in shambles over the Vietnam war and some domestic policy issues. LBJ wasn't running again (and wouldn't get elected if he had). Even before Bobby was offed, there was a split as to who the nominee would be and Chicago (convention location) erupted. That could happen again this year.
In 2020, the whole idea was to cause enough chaos to keep Trump and the Feds tied up AND get the Black vote riled up both to the polls and to vote against Trump. The BLM riots accomplished both of those.
I'm not suggesting there isn't anything to other ideas here. Hell, I wouldn't put anything past leftists in order to remain in power. But I don't see the same dynamic as 4 years ago.

I think it will backfire if that's what they're doing. It's just more chaos and everything since biden has taken office is chaotic. The border, rampant inflation, protests, crime, racism against whites, trans bull****, etc.
There's a breaking point where people just want some semblance of normalcy to return.

Fat boy,
It's usually not someone from within a radicalized org like this that exposes it, but someone that has infiltrated it from an "agency" as such as part of an investigation. Being it has been proven that some of these "organizers go back thru BLM back to Occupy Wall Street, it is obvious a lot of this is highly coordinated and well funded. Back when the FBI and CIA were not a tool of the DemocRat Party, the whole shebang would be exposed, terrorist group leaders in the US arrested as the terrorists they are, and the Soros types would have attained room temp by now.
That alone tells you these organizers/terrorists are directly aligned with the DemocRats, if not operating with their blessing and assistance.

I remember '68 DNC coverage on TV. Complicated times and different actors/bad actors. Very different than all these coordinated campus hissy fits. Back then the components were: 1) Vietnam War was at peak and no end in sight; 2) LBJ had withdrawn from election, leaving a political void; 3) MLK/RFK assassinations; 4) Detroit and other urban riots within the year; 5) VP and nominee Humphrey was the last New Deal Democrat, thinking if we just had another 'program' everything would be fine; 6) George Wallace; 7) Chicago Mayor Daley and his police force; 8) MSM beginning to show America who they really were, taking sides out in the open; 9) Counter culture/'Student' activists/Radicals/Etc showing up for the 'cause'.
The FDR New Deal Democrat coalition was breaking apart. Northern liberals versus Southern conservatives. It took 100 years for the 'Solid South' Democratic voting block to finally end. By 1980 it was completely gone.
Nixon had already been nominated by the GOP. Wallace was getting double digit poling support, mostly from normally Democratic leaning voters. It was Nixon's election to lose and he almost did.
These current campus riots are way different. The MSM would have excoriated the antisemitism of today back then. There was adult leadership on campus back then, mostly. The unrest today shows obvious signs of behind the scenes funding, paid agitation bad actors, foreign infiltration. Today we have the Usual Suspects footing the bill for the unrest - Soros and his merry band of piggy bank disbursements folks. The Federal alphabets look the other way. Urban city/county DAs, elected via Soros money, decline to prosecute rioters' destructive actions. Obama, the 'clean' and annointed designated mouthpiece, told us about his vision of fundamentally transforming America. Same mess, different way of getting there.
Should be an interesting summer.

What I find funny is that the organizations behind this have to prey on what could be argued as the dumbest, most ill-informed, narcissistic, and impressionable demographic in America to use as useful idiots. Not just "dumb" college kids, but coddled suburban white kids and foreigners pursuing useless arts degrees to pour coffee for a living. Guarantee you the engineering students are like "**** that.

these are organized by the Marxists and the Islamist terror groups.
it actually hurts Biden as it makes Jews flee the democrat party and puts him in the middle of events he wants to stay out of.
it also demonstrates Biden's weakness (again!!) and shows the country is in chaos.
no way the White House wants this on TV screens like 1968 all over again.

I think they are trying to bait the police into making mistakes so they police and justice system look bad. The police have shown an amazing amount of restraint so far. That said, the Columbia leadership looks extremely weak on this issue. They are the exact types of pushovers these "paid protestors" are trying to trigger into making a mistake.
Look for this issue to ramp up as the summer progresses.

The key is for the normies who hate Trump personally to reach a point where they will put up with him simply because they finally see Biden and the Dems are completely incompetent and it's impacting their lives. The 1968 example is a good one. Let the Dems continue to descend into chaos and don't try and stop them.
Essentially our choices are Pinochet vs Chavez or Bukele vs Noriega, it's just most people can't see the obvious. Lots of lessons to be learned from the Spanish Civil War as well.
This absolutely is benefiting Trump and the GOP so long as they don't screw it up. All they have to do is let the Dems keep fighting each other and where Republicans are in control they need to clean up the mess. They have done that in Texas and Florida where they have kept these protests very much under control.Hubert J. Farnsworth said:

Well you certainly have gulped down Zuckerberg's funded Kool Aid; I literally saw a video on TikTok today that exposed, with actual documentary evidence, the funding of these "protest" by Soros & the Rockefeller family trust- NOT CHINA. I also saw videos of 'Patriots' at UNC protecting the American flag while the resident Communists tried to rip it down in order to hoist the Palestinian flag, which would NEVER be shown by the MSM.
In other words, at least that platform gives BOTH viewpoints, so if you're inclined to support trans issues &/or 'refusing the vaccine', such will show up on your FYP feed whereas if you aren't a dumbass, your FYP feed will show testimonials from folks suffering from vaccine side effects &/or gay people expressing regrets about their transition.
The propaganda against TikTok is not surprising since the MSM & social media companies can't control their preferred narratives; after all, how in the hell are we supposed to trust Meta/ Facebook in light of the proof exposed that these groups suppress Conservative viewpoints (either burying stories &/or refuting their substance via "Fact Checkers")?!?!
Just look at the pushback against Musk & his support for Free Speech; he's literally Hitler nowadays in the eyes of Libs, but then again, so is everyone else that upholds constitutional principles.
But hey, TikTok will go away (b/c why would the owners agree to a lesionary compulsory sale?), so what's another nail in the coffin for free speech & free market capitalism???

Im with you, but why? Regular people, or anyone that pays attention, knows that it's the left and their Biden supports doing this stupid ***** They knew it in 2020 as well with BLM -- with Veep Throat even going so far as to set up a bail fund for them.
Then, closer to the election, they tried to stop them because they realized they were polling poorly.
How did they not realize this? They think normal people love seeing this insane **** occur and it makes them want to vote for the party that either supports or tacitly approves of these actions?
And somehow that "platform"received the most votes counted the most ballots in history? It doesnt make any sense.
I would think if they were trying to drum up support, they would send the feds in with their khakis, ballcaps, and white face gaiters and march around with -- was it flags? or torches? who knows.
I wouldnt think you get the same optics/results with a bunch of stinky, non-binary, genderqueer, intersectional, marxist malcontents
