College Students Are Ridiculously Infuriating Safe-Space/Mega-thread

[ingemann]

You know how orGanisations like PETA explicitly base their organisations at being obnoxious and stuntish? Yeah, I think these students are playing a similar game.

But that just backfired and PETA is widely considered a joke.

It's only a failure if you think improving the lives of animals is the main goal, if you instead think that raising money to PETA is the main goal, it have been a great success.

GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY ALLOWS FLAGS TO FLY FROM DORM ROOMS — UNLESS THEY’RE PALESTINIAN

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I'm not sure why this post belong in this thread, I think it's a legitimate complaint, we can disagree or agree about Palestinian nationhood, but it's a little weird that Palestinian flags are singled out.

the most shocking thing about this thread is that people not in college care about student politics.

I'm not in France but I like to read about French politics. Mmmkay.

France politics have an effect on France and Europe.
Student politics don't even have an effect on most students.

Student politics doesn't stay student politics, it grow ups and in twenty years the things which are discussed on campuses today, will be part of the American political debate and even later we're going to deal with this in other countries, and if Americans thinks these debates are terrible, they can't imagine how horrible these debates are when they're pulled out of the cultural context they was born in (we had some morons bringing up a whiteness debate up a year ago, something which made little sense in cultures where racism is primarily based on language/culture, religion and ethnicity rather than race).

I would like to officially apologise for this remark:

the most shocking thing about this thread is that people not in college care about student politics.

It is clear from the last page it has triggered many people. I promise not to hurt your safe space anymore.

You forgot the smiley

Hans and Sophie Scholl would be hated on here.

wow....just....wow....stay classy!

Stay classy? Now we have to stay classy? Are you offended?

Campus graffiti campaigns, leafleting. How annoying it must have been for the other students and the authorities no?

Let's completely ignore what these young people fought against compared to what their modern "counterparts" fights against. Here's the thing Hans and Sophie was beheaded by the German state. What do their modern "counterparts" risk? A ticket for littering and vandalism at most.
