That was a good read Jack. I think people in general need to start walking a little bit more towards the middle though

Know what the funniest and most ironic part of it is?
There's a HUGE number of right-wing snowflakes in the comments bawling and whining about the article . |

i agree with what the article is trying to say but then i'd also mostly agree with a right wing article saying the same about people on the left. those on either extreme can be very hypocritical, it's human nature.

I think it is the Internet that has created, or given prominence to, 'snowflake-ism'.
It doesn't matter which side of politics it is - just look at so many Youtube comment sections and you'll see people getting offended or complaining at the slightest thing. Like much on-line though, it doesn't necessarily reflect the real-world views of most people. |

Saying populist correctness gone mad to snowflakes is going to be my new thing.

Plus we're now starting to get to the point where young adults have grown up "with internet" and social media. It's a completely intertwined part of normal social interaction for people under the age of 20. |

Wonderful article thanks Jack, I disagree that it isn't ever present in society as a double standard is becoming more and more evident everywhere.
Buzzwords, soundbites and media spin are losing their pull ( finally) Thanks for the most part to Trump, he has allowed the scales to fall for many and see how easy it is to influence the masses into believing what is and isn't real... This realisation although terrifying has had a positive outcome in that we are again learning to think for ourselves. Which is why this article will resonate as the public wake up to the fact WE decide what it is we are enraged about and it ISN'T kermit, it's the NHS, jobs, living standards, homes and our families futures.

I don't know ... I just picked that from the text, but in my view it's something that is given an appearance of being a huge affront to values, culture or moral standards that in in reality are totally meaningless... Say for instance the latest UKIP headline relating to fish and chips! Who cares about fish and chips?
How are fish and chips going to impact on my life in any significant way?... They aren't, ergo the whole issue surrounding them is pointless, what are UKIP going to do about what really matters to people and their daily struggle?... feck knows, they're too busy babbling on about fish and chips! Arrrggghhhh!!!

"Trump is, of course, king of the snowflakes, flying into a rage at any hint of criticism"
Good to see the failing Guardian using its top trained journalists to report fact and not resort to clickbait gutter journalism to please generation lose.... |
