They're nuts and no in the their 'safe space' only their opinions are permitted and their 'safe space' is anywhere on campus that they're protesting or making speaches and they'll physically force you away. Another thing when one of them is speaking about all the things that have 'triggered' them recently in the 'safe space' and they want to show appreciation they don't allow clapping as it could upset or 'trigger' them so they all snap their fingers instead. I honestly don't blame students like the one in the op being turned to Trump when they have to live with this crap every day and the ridiculousness they see from Hilary supporters. SJW's are the perfect ad for Trump. |

...I'm not sure either NM what the Social Justice Warriors are exactly..but they're 'crazy' college students../..a section of them...doesn't Donald Trump believe that armed weapons should be allowed in schools/colleges/campuses etc...a vote for someone who supports armed weapons in the hands of 'bat**** crazy' doesn't sound like a good move to me.../and not something to vote for...

Still just strengthening the point that you'd only be voting for him to piss them off, rather than any real belief in him as a politician.

In all fairness the vid just highlights the confusion young adults feel as they battle between the conflicting views of their parents/carers/educators/media trying to formulate their own as they go. The guy in the OP is no different to them is he?

These situations are hyper-personalized. I've run into nuts from both aisles. Having lived in Texas and in the Northeast section of country near DC/Baltimore (MD). Once spent $400 for a liberal art's history class that turned somehow into a green peace sustainability class... and she gave us rubber medical gloves to go all over campus to remove weeds/invasive plants (yay cuts ) But then I get annoyed when I hear the NRA fanatics draw overarching generalizations about the oppositions. In a lot of cases, they are completely disregarding all liberals, including my friends, who happen to be liberal only because of life experiences... which often is the main reasoning behind why one person chooses another "order" over the other. The division is unnecessary. But powerful discourse does need to happen... which means sides need to disagree and for those arguments to run their course... the problem is the 20-30% of this country (or whatever percentage) that is anti-discourse, that is they flatly reject what doesn't fit the world they'd like and will be disrupters if needed... to me, it borders on anti-democracy and I hope that we do not head this direction.

There are extremist nuts on both sides of the political spectrum.The thing is that for years atleast over here we've heard about the right wing extremists no end.We know about everything there is to know about their racism and xenophobia but have heard virtually nothing of leftist extremism.That is starting to come out now and show its ugly side including the anti-semitism and civil unrest and racism and sexism against the white male. |

It is an excellent and very articulate post. But....Then NOW you have NO excuses for being lazy with other posts.
Snared.

They don't actually mean anything or relate to anything specific. Everyone is allowed to speak..he is speaking, he doesn't look like the kind of person that has never not spoken... As he states in his monologue. However if by speaking your truths you find that they are counter to what others think, shouting that it is a flaw in their logic is a bit of a cop out... whether you use a derogatory term such as PC brigade, SJW or whatever.

I felt very isolated from an intellectual stimulation POV (I held my own opinions just like anyone else), which is one reason to have moved back (including my husband's desire to get away from it). It is frustrating to be on the censored side, though personally I have no problem expressing myself when needed... I've always had the ability to find movements and people who believe in these things that I do such as freedom of expression and upholding certain tested values in our society... and the right wing establishment has had it's chances at recursive narratives as well over the decades. The real culprit are these two political parties (primarily at the national level). They need to be dumped like dead weight and left to fend for votes and donations like peasants for what they have done to this country. Both use the public in very divisive manners (and conversely the media by association of "covering" this). With them gone, I think some narratives will change and we won't have these two caterers of establishment (read: injustices) sitting up there fanning the political tension pretending to be on the people's side... the media will follow the viewers... I don't know why we put so much stock into these parties. For they strongly resemble mindsets and politics of yesteryear imo. They are not tapped into the pulse of how demographics and people's opinions have shifted so much today. We need to move on from that bollocks. But that's just my personal opinion.
