That is common in any arena i suppose. There is merit to it, but we do need ppl willing to compomise.

2019-03-01 22:43:00 UTC  

Compromising is a very useful thing, but also a damaging thing if you are standing up for a principle.

2019-03-01 22:43:40 UTC  

i would argue that it is only damaging if you are compromising in the wrong direction

2019-03-01 22:43:46 UTC  

like with 2A rights

2019-03-01 22:44:00 UTC  

I won't compromise when it comes to our constitution, no matter how many people "feel" its a good thing.

2019-03-01 22:44:15 UTC  

And i'm talking about the 1A right now.

2019-03-01 22:45:00 UTC  

its just an example. like wanting to repeal the NFA, but compromising on legalizing suppressors. its the direction of compromising that is key

2019-03-01 22:46:08 UTC  

a more 1A example in the wrong direction would be rejecting hate speech legislation, but allowing for blasphemy legislation

2019-03-01 22:50:03 UTC  

And as censoring freedom of expression goes against our constitution (and human rights), its asking for blasphemy legislation.

2019-03-01 22:51:32 UTC  

i think you missed my point. both are bad, and one is a subset of the other, so compromising in that direction is harmful

2019-03-01 22:52:21 UTC  

No, i got that.

2019-03-01 22:53:06 UTC  

Go do your project so you can watch what i linked you later heh.

2019-03-01 22:53:38 UTC  

building a compiler, assembler, and linker

2019-03-01 22:54:03 UTC  

For school or work.

2019-03-01 22:54:08 UTC  

school

2019-03-01 22:54:14 UTC  

Cool.

2019-03-01 22:54:21 UTC  

i go to UC Berkeley

2019-03-01 22:59:12 UTC  

I'm sorry to hear that.

2019-03-01 22:59:17 UTC  

Ahh, so that's why you knew about that assault.

2019-03-01 22:59:26 UTC  

yup

2019-03-01 22:59:59 UTC  

lol @wolfman1911 its CS program is still world class, even if i have to watch out for the occasional bike lock

2019-03-01 23:05:17 UTC  

I would be less worried about a bike lock over the "everything about you is evil" courses (at many colleges).

2019-03-01 23:07:28 UTC  

lol i transfered from a community college, so i completed all the general education courses there. You have to take two social sciences courses (where the SJW stuff is rampant). I took macro and micro economics instead. So i've managed to avoid all that crap.

2019-03-01 23:08:58 UTC  

all my course work here at UC Berkeley is major specific. with the exception of one course I had to take, which was a mandatory social justice course. it was bs, professor said that the problem with norway is that they are having to deal with the fact that they are white.

2019-03-01 23:09:20 UTC  

would refer to us as comrade 30+ times a lecture

2019-03-01 23:09:33 UTC  

gave out extra credit for attending a union strike

2019-03-01 23:09:53 UTC  

it was a shit show.

2019-03-01 23:12:08 UTC  

Did they add macro and micro-aggression yet in the econ class? heh

2019-03-01 23:12:46 UTC  

naw, the econ professor was at the community college, and she was a republican

2019-03-01 23:13:30 UTC  

so it was pretty enjoyable. especially when she dropped the bomb about price floors and min wage.

2019-03-01 23:13:54 UTC  

That's good.

2019-03-01 23:14:59 UTC  

yup, ive been around block before and am in no danger of being indoctrinated into the cult of diversity, equity, and inclusion

2019-03-01 23:15:20 UTC  

i came from the trades originally, and am doing this for more money

2019-03-01 23:16:09 UTC  

That's a good way to do things.
The SJW stuff isn't going to be limited to the social science courses for much longer (its already in a lot of STEM).

2019-03-01 23:16:48 UTC  

oh i know, i see it trickling in. the way they do it is in the stem courses that are designed for teaching stem

2019-03-01 23:18:05 UTC  

the 300 level courses are all focused on teaching, and this is where they wedge in the social justice. if you want to TA for a course, then you have to take one of these courses

2019-03-01 23:18:21 UTC  

which results in the spread of it in stem

2019-03-01 23:22:16 UTC  

Which is why i'm less worried about any antifa (tho still worried about them), over whats creating them in the first place.

2019-03-01 23:24:10 UTC  

indeed. its not the stem fields that are creating them, the barrier to entry is still too high for many. It's the other majors that are guilty of it. the administration as well. the chancellor just sent out an email detailing how all new faculty applicants must swear an oath of fealty to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

2019-03-01 23:24:31 UTC  

which means there will be no more dissent from new faculty

2019-03-01 23:24:53 UTC  

all that will be left to do is push out old faculty that do not covert
