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

[RFayette]

I'm actually with Green Line in part here. Most of the degrees you listed do make it a bit tougher, but coming out of good schools, they are given a good degree of consideration still for many decent jobs. If you do well in a good place, it displays competence, but you have to be extremely socially intelligent at the same time, even more so than people of the marketable majors, which makes it tougher. (Speaking more towards psychology and polisci who I do see in good positions though I know it's certainly not the majority of their graduates).

Interestingly, one of the people I met at App Developer Club (one of the CS clubs at my university), a product manager at Facebook, was a polisci/sociology major who had only taken 2 CS classes during his time at college.  He was a very dynamic speaker (and I'm sure his social intelligence carried him quite a bit) however, which undoubtedly carries significant weight.

Socialist student 'triggered' by Capitalism caught on tape

It would be helpful to know who she was talking to.

Seems like college libertarian types, not white supremacists.

She has this really nasty, stuck-up voice that you only ever see in America.

These people are really gonna drive me off a cliff someday. So glad I made this thread. Another valuable contribution! After I thought I completed every goal in my life, I will add a new one: to make these people as miserable as can be.

I admit, my first instinct after watching that video was to yearn for the days where women were in the kitchen.

Not the right thing to do, but man did she get on my nerves.

U. of Oklahoma course: A white girl singing Rihanna is a ‘microaggression’

The teachers are back at it trying to top the students. Oklahoma is a complete disaster of a place.

And something is severely wrong with their privilege scale when I'm only at a (soon-to-be) 5/16, and one of my privileges is never being told off on my orientation. (Quick, one of you Protestants say it to me so I can drop back to a 4!) I get that these are the controversial ones, but wow!

OK, knock it off and repent or go to hell I guess, whatever you are!  Now your privilege is knocked down.

I loved how being an atheist made you under-privileged compared to someone who went to church every week on that quiz. Something tells me that Redditors are doing fine in the privilege department.

You can keep saying that, it doesn't make it true.

Exactly.  Just look at the reaction of Liberty University inviting Bernie Sanders to speak versus Trump attempting to speak by the University of Illinois-Chicago campus area.  Conservatives respect their adversaries; liberals do not afford such respect, and instead call conservatives names and try to kick them off of campuses.

Many socialists refuse to tolerate disagreement with their ideology, which they declare as truth.  They claim Popper's paradox and argue that because conservatives are "intolerant" of their radical SJW agenda - hating cops, wide-open borders, radical feminism, etc. - they are not worthy of tolerance themselves.  They hate everything America stands for.

Radical feminism isn't really the variety of feminism I think of when I think of current campus activism.

I admit I'm probably not using the right academic terminology - I was just using the types who would call everything a "microaggression," stifle free speech, and demand special diversity offices/buildings/grants.  

Also, what I said doesn't apply to all liberals/socialists of course, just many of the most vocal ones.
