Thankfully i didnt have to deal with any instances of it in my university
Though there was one time a KKK effigy appeared, but apparently it was taken down before it could be seen by any press
Some of my favorite states ive visited are middle american
The talk about White Privilege is turning whites against minorities. I don't understand why they can't see that.
they do all to often go ignored
You're lucky then. I had "white privilege" explained to me before I ever set foot on campus.
Is Boogie alright
Because they see their ideology as right and those who dont agree as the enemy
Everyone made fun of it at the time. But now it's escaped campus and isn't a joke anymore.
I mean personally my campaign slogan might be "Seeking Solutions" when that time finally comes
They did have us watch a series of videos about "rape culture" but everyone just let them run and did other things
lol i had a "rape culture" convo with some sjw at a local con
@Dusty Morgan They think it's going to reconcile differences. And it didn't turn *them* against the minorities. The ones that do just suffer from "white fragility" and need to be fixed.
Unity is a bad word now.
i basically said "but rapes illegal and actively looked down on by the wider society"
Too be honest, I think all this talk about identity politics and new problems is just the product of people who have too much free times on their hands, thinking to freaking hard on subjects that really isn't a problem in the first place. Or I could be wrong, there is a more sinister motive to it.
It's everything.
social media
Alot of it is a bit of a meme in the original sense Dawkins wrote it.
i cant tell you how good it feels to barely use Facebook
A true uber-meme so to speak.
So it persists by creating problems that it claims to solve and seizes resources and influence as it persists.
Becoming ever stronger.
Including it's particularly totalitarian impulses.
its the new class conflict
Fire people who oppose it as intolerant and hire those that support it.
its ultimately self-destructive
Just look at #metoo
and all the #resettheclocks
@Lagomaster24 I actually like comparing it to Chivalric codes. Alot of those tended to be abused by the knights who claimed to follow them. But it was a very good way to separate the knightly class from the peasants.
fair
Antifa comes along and equates words to violence, thus justifying their use of violence against anyone who show even a slight hint of being against their views. Then that escalates when the right decides to stand up to them, trying to show them what kind of hypocrites they are. Antifa is acting very similar to the brown shirts from the 1930's to the point, it is hard to separate them from actual real Nazi's from the 1930s.
didnt think about it that way
Antifa might as well BE the brown shirts
When both of these sides collide, I just shake my head and sigh. They are feeding off each other, they are not going anywhere and people are being hurt because of it.
instead theyd be the black shirts
yep
they thrive off of it though
so they continue
even if they havent realized it yet
