"...There also is no longer a 1st Amendment on campuses or in many workplaces. Try offering a public lecture on the misguided nature of Black Lives Matter, expressing doubts about the theory of man-caused, radical global warming that might be averted by huge government programs and investment, or doubting the wisdom of traditional marriage for gay couples. It is likely that the lecture would be stormed, and the speaker shouted downas if someone were defending the Versailles Treaty in Munich during the late 1920s, or praising Trotsky in Moscow around 1927..."
There is a thread on Free Republic titled "Angry SJW Demands Student Journalist Be Punished for Filming #Trigglypuff"
In summary, it happened at UMASS Amherst (a place I detest as a bastion of Political Correctness) where the Young Republicans Club organized a panel discussion to analyze the suppression of free speech on campuses via political correctness and other liberal mechanisms.
Interestingly enough, the panel was composed of a young homosexual man, an established feminist, and Stephen Crowder, known to all of us on FR (He is a Freeper). These three panelists would, under normal circumstances, be at each other's political throats. But they all had the same bone to pick with political correctness, and thus it was apparent, they were allies in this fight.
So when they got up on stage, the Feminist was being shouted down by the Social Justice PC people (I was puzzled by this, under normal circumstances, she would likely have been on their side) but they wouldn't let her say her introductory opening piece, interrupting her, making it nearly impossible for her to speak.
Now, I am as anti-feminist as they come (not anti-women, mind you) but I wanted to hear what she had to say, and began getting increasingly irritated with the interruptions, as was the entire panel.
When Stephen Crowder got up there, he BLASTED them with full broadsides of nine 16 inch shells of un-Politicially Correct high explosive, non-stop barrages, driving them Social Justice Warrior morons into higher and higher levels of distress, until this woman shown below had a complete melt down and temper tantrum. (Her SJW name is apparently Trigglypuff...a more diseased and mentally ill example of liberalism you will not find.) The whole thing has turned into another Internet meme:
The video of the entire panel discussion may be found here (Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder and Christina Hoff Sommers at Mass and if you don't want to watch the whole thing, you can fast forward to about the 15 min mark, where you will see the tail end of the feminist being interrupted, and Stephen Crowder (God bless him) gets on his feet and goes to work!
I grinned and laughed the entire time.
With apologies to Dean Wormer, someone needs to inform that girl that being fat, angry, ugly, and stupid is no way to go through life.
Classic!
I had referenced in the past an excellent article, The New Totalitarians Are Here (by Tom Nichols) several times. I know it is just preaching to the choir here, but we should introduce it to those people not immersed in politics/current events like we are.
Thanks much for the video of “Trigglypuff” and the SJW link. I had not seen that. I did see Steven Crowder’s great segment.
