I'm gonna actually defend him. Obviously this guy is a good example of your garden variety asshat but I think he was trolling more than anything else.

He looks like the Soup Nazi lol.

College campuses have always been a breeding ground for left wing nutjobs

Literally none of this is new

Yeah, this thread is just a consistent reminder that today's students are ridiculously unradical. In the 60's students would have considered it a success if they threw their administrators from the building and became a radical self-governed organisation. Today, it is considered a success if the admin promise they will think about introducing gender neutral language in internal memos.

Why is it so hard for colleges to ignore a few idiots?

     Because the faculty, or at least a large segment of it, supports their nonsense. The idiots didn't just pick it up out of the void; they are taught to engage in this behavior by their professors.
Not really. College academia may be left wing, but outside of some sociologists, no one's advocating this.

     Most of them aren't too open about it, but you can find classes and departments dedicated to disseminating fashionable nonsense at pretty much every university. These people then go out and create a climate where it is unsafe to question said nonsense, and wonderful things happen from there.

What a vital issue. The small percentage of kids who value this sh**t over school/partying has swayed my views on politics. I don't care about corruption, money in politics, foreign policy, or economic policy anymore. Clearly this is the most important issue facing our country, and only TRUMP can defeat this threat. I don't care if he kisses Putin's ass or ruins the economy. Those are boring issues, after all.

In both cases though, the problem is the admin not fulfilling some ideological norm.

It might seem irrelevant to you, but SJWs are contributing to the rise of the alt-right.

I really hope the next four years will unite the party and get them off this SJW obsession. Nobody cares that you're triggered or what your stupid so-called pronouns are. Maybe now we can get back to the meat-and-potatoes issues like the fact that Republicans are about to turn Medicare into CouponCare and Social Security into a mutual fund.

None of this stuff actually swayed anyone one way or the other this last election.  Most people who voted for Trump have no idea what trigger warnings are or what a safe space is or what Tumblr culture is about, yada yada.  And most of them wouldn't even care because it's pretty much exclusively a 'millennial issue.'  It just gets hyped up on the internet because younger people are much more involved in social media than older folks are.

And of course you don't have to be a Trumpite to think that a lot of what we're seeing on college campuses nowadays is downright silly, or that people as a whole are in some respects just absurdly thin-skinned and that this in turn contributes to the denigration of the political discourse.  It should be laughed at, if anything, because at the end of the day we know it's harmless child's play.

(Or at least it is until it gets to the point where people start deliberately targeting public speakers /writers/college faculty they disagree with and leaking personal information about them or publicly demanding they be fired from their jobs.  But that's still basically a cultural issue and not so much a political one.)

This is what the safe spacers do to others.

Link

A long Facebook post by Fair illustrates the contradiction at the heart of her vendetta against Nomani. Repeating obscene insults she’d previously directed at Nomani, such as “f*** you” and “go to hell,” Fair accused Nomani of “cyber bullying” because she had the audacity to complain to Georgetown about Fair.

This is getting out of hand.

Berkeley activists steal College Republicans list, dox members, post names/addresses online, send threats:

Some college students get mean emails and you think it's a federal crime? People who can't cope with a few mean words without demanding a safe space are so ridiculous. I'm sorry that College Republicans are such snowflakes and get triggered so easily, but they're gonna have to learn to deal with the real world.

Threatening people with violence is a crime. Yes.

So is harassment.

So is posting personal information online without consent.

WTF?

There's nothing wrong with Berkeley. It's one of the best universities in the country and if I was of a wealthier background would've loved attending its excellent Sociology program. Some of its student body protested, a few violently, so people all start hating on the university and its students? The problem is Milo attempting to spread his noxious hate and dehumanization of others, including revealing the identities of undocumented students that could lead to their harassment. Instead, people target the university as if it's the problem. Incredible.

The third lateral is one of the dirtiest moments of all-time. Really a travesty. Nobody should recognize these cheaters as respectable.

Why should people whose presence in the U.S. is illegal be allowed to study at a university that receives government funding?

Ideological insanity. Marx was wrong on many things, but he was spot on that ideology can make people act in strange ways.

How are Republicans snowflakes?  They aren't the ones being coddled and protected from other people's views.

     To paraphrase a good line by Céline, all the slavers of history had it wrong; all they needed to work men to death with the absolute complicity of those involved was ideology.

Or perhaps it's because we don't believe that, simply because someone lacks proper documentation, they should be denied access to a university education. Most people in these circumstances are the children of undocumented immigrants who brought them to America as underage children, which is hardly their fault. Even if they come to America "illegally," I hardly see that as a reason to treat them as less deserving than someone who had the random chance of being born in America.
