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

[Mr. Reactionary]

Here's a fun list of annecdotes, although much of the blame is leveled at colleges rather than just the college students.

Which is, I think, where the blame SHOULD be leveled. The institutions caving time and time again are what makes these silly things spread. If they showed a backbone this would have frittered out years ago.

“I shouldn’t be reminded every time I leave my dorm room of how easy my life can be taken away ..."

So now if anything reminds someone of their own mortality, as a human, that is "emotionally triggering". Everyone dies. That is fact. These kids really seem to want to regress to being 5 all over again.

The most stereotypical SJW ever goes crazy at "The Triggering" at the University of Massachusetts:

Best part is when she says "stop talking to us like we're children"

What was she saying? "Bring me Solo?" I couldn't understand it.

That's freaking awesome!

The current state of free speech on college campuses.

This is the mode of discourse that are being produced in our institutions of higher learning. Is this really what we've turned into?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Put it in the megathread.

Sorry, I didn't see the megathread.  Thanks.

Gosh. I likely agree with the political viewpoints of the protesters/students, but there's a different way to go about this.

I don't have time to watch now, but I just want to point out that UMass is different from Amherst College.

And thank the good Lord it is! (Not all Amherst College people are snobs, but it's very much a play by and for snobs.) Go! Go U! Go U! Mass! Go UMass!

Those speakers are terrible. I don't blame the protesters.

Also I think I recognize one of the Republican audience members in the video.

Trigglypuff may replace AIDS Skrillex as the face of the SJW movement.

Milo Yiannapoulos is a hero of the people. There is no one I look up to more. The protesters are fully in the fault. Literally disgusting. The speakers are right; they are acting like children.

[Reaganfan]

Here's the ironic thing...all these young liberals in college bitching about "white privilege", are probably in college because of what they believe is "white privilege".

A website dedicated to "eccentrics on the internet" found Trigglypuff's okcupid profile:
http://web.archive.org/web/20150722072121/http://www.okcupid.com/profile/Hips_stir?

The only surprising thing about it is that she didn't make up her own gender and sexual orientation.

[youngohioan216]

Also she goes to an "experimental college" that costs over 60k a year to attend:

"Anarcho-communism, feminism, and body positivity are what I'm super passionate about. As you can tell, I'm a fat babe and proud of it. That's not going to change. If it bothers you, I'm not the person for you, so don't bother wasting your time."

^I honestly prefer Marine Le Pen over this kind of idiocy. It's basically the whole "If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best" type thing; I'm always perfect and better than you and all of my flaws are simply unique expressions while all of your flaws are disgusting.

The ideology of these people is basically just to oppose the status quo and make them seem oppressed as much as possible in order to be entitled to more than they already have.

A recent gem from my facebook page:

"If you support the HB2 laws, please comment why, (im interested in learning how an incapable brain functions) and then throw yourself off a bridge"

I CAN EXPRESS MY VIEWS HOWEVER I WANT BUT YOURS SHOULD BE BANNED; GO KILL YOURSELF

Usually, I really don't care about this stuff. But this woman? This woman is a mockery to everything she supports.

SJWs are awful, but most of the people whining about them are Alt-Right morons (Milo) who are just as bad.

In the end, both groups are stupid and should be ignored, but the internet lets them thrive.

I'm just bemused at how much the vibe at UMass has apparently changed since I graduated two years ago. I mean this really seems to have come over the campus fast.
