Your opinion of this parody of The Young Turks?

[Figueira]

Steven Crowder is an HP.

FF. Steven Crowder is the best.

He made a transphobic parody of Schoolhouse Rock. He's scum.

     I'm a big fan of Steven Crowder

Huh. I thought you were one of the reasonable conservatives.

Was the comedy supposed to begin after the angry loudmouth finished screaming?  I didn't get that far, I'm afraid.

     I don't like that video for its humor; I do by and large concur with the sentiment in this thread that conservative humor is lacking. It's about telling off the whiny, spoiled, privileged Trigglypuffs of the world (this is the event where that viral video came from, actually).

DAE librulz are the real privilegeds?

     If you are a college student with the luxury of going to a speaking engagement just to heckle the speakers, you are probably privileged.

Well yeah, everyone is privileged. Your point?

OK, but the student was making legitimate points about feminism and privilege, and just because she was "privileged" in the sense that she could pay for college (and maybe she got scholarships or something) doesn't mean that she was privileged in every other respect.

As for your second paragraph, I totally agree with you (assuming that's an accurate description of the video) but it has nothing to do with Crowder.

There's no greater privilege than money and that's includes scholarship. College students are people who can afford to invest several years of their life into education, that's what privilege is. And if they take a education which is expensive and worthless, that's doesn't make them unprivileged, it just make them stupid.

OK, but she still might have other disadvantages that you don't know about. Also a Republican lecturing people on privilege is incredibly hypocritical.

The funny thing is, the only people I've heard saying that privilege automatically invalidates your opinions are conservatives.
