Back in the 1960s, the old Li’l Abner comic strip used to sometimes feature S.W.I.N.E. (Students Wildly Indignent about Nearly Everything) - a cartoon creation to ridicule the absurdity of so many demonstrations. Like most good humor, it was funny because it was true.

On a side note, Al Capp, Li’l Abner's creator, was very liberal. He was wildly popular among liberals as long as he was lampooning conservatives. However, when he also lampooned liberals for their excesses, he was savagely ridiculed, thus proving his point about the excesses of certain parties.

"In the 1960s, his target was often student protest against the Vietnam War: in the strip, college youths were all members of S.W.I.N.E., “Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything.” Touring college campuses as a speaker, Capp seemingly delighted at the outrage he provoked among the students in his audience. But he was roundly criticized by his traditional constituency of liberals for the unyielding rigor of his attacks on the New Left. It was assumed that Capp had defected and gone over to the Right. But Capp’s objective as a satirist remained constant: the fanaticism of the New Left was no less a human folly in his eyes than the rigidity of the Right in seeking to preserve the conventions of its social order. Capp took folly where he found it and unceremoniously ripped the veils of self-righteousness away, roaring with Rabelaisian laughter all the while."
