I think it's just a temporary thing

So far mostly just a lot of clips we've all seen before stitched together but with dramatic music.
so clickbait
So I nearly got into an argument with my political philosophy TA and a few students about 30 minutes ago.
And the reason is something you guys will appreciate
We were talking about Confucius and having rulers with good character and how the good or bad character sets the standard and gives people a path to follow in terms of character. By now you can probably see where this is going. My TA said that Trumps election brought the "deplorables" into the light. Making them think that they have the right to say what they believe. On top of that you now have people who say they have the right to say their beliefs and if you try to take them down you are somehow the fascist.
oof
@jigantie tell your TA that it really needs to drink bleach for the good of the world
Not gonna lie I was starting to get mad
it's the fear of losing control
"but, but, then they will do things i don't like, and that's like scary and bad"
The part that's frustrating is that I know that if I say anything I am outnumbered and I will be labeled something I'm not.
yup, sounds really frustrating, hang in there man
Will do thankfully I'm pretty patient. I just have to keep myself from being a smartass which for me can be difficult because that's my natural reaction to hearing stupid shit
Be a smartass so we can hear stories of you triggering your whole class or whatever.
Live on your feet.

u rang?
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] More impressive is how Ben just rolled right on and continued the discussion panel; seems rather the opposite of triggered since the entire rest of the episode could've degenerated into just that topic
Fuckin' lol @ that chick in general though
It was a little trigger but he definitely felt the need to say something about it and I found his way of dealing with it very entertaining.
Also Roaming Millenial with this sage quote:
`the thing about dog whistles... is that ONLY DOGS CAN HEAR THEM`

Sure made for some good TV you don't see too often.
She's no Dog, believe me!
o rly?
why can she hear the dog whistle?
clearly a racist
also she seems incapable of doing anything but spouting prefabricated talking points
"I think protest ended the Vietnam war"
no, the North Vietnamese overrunning Saigon probably ended the Vietnam war
Code Pink is still a thing
I'm actually really glad they got her on the show, even if just for the moments where she says something frustratingly obtuse only to have everyone else at the table visibly cringe on national television.
