The kids from other countries are not promoting their communist ideas here

They are joining the college communist agenda that is already here.

I used to think they were fragile or just young and gullible ... or just stupid, but I have changed my mind.

They are craven opportunists seeking power and totalitarian control over others (led by their professors and administration with the same goals). It’s a Lord of the Flies situation at universities and to an extent now in society in general.

These are not ‘fragile’ little snowflakes as often said. They are very dangerous people who would sooner have you kneeling over a pit with a gun to the back of your head than have an honest discussion about anything.

I am so very sorry that I have come to believe this. However, I feel I have to be realistic if I want me and my family to survive.

This is the “everybody gets a trophy” generation that was praised and told, “good job” every time they defecated or urinated while growing up.

In the era of Twitter, Facebook, instagram and other social media these kids are steeped in the ways of ‘offenedness’ as their moral high ground and sense of dignity. Its all from falsely derived agitations and it shows they can be very easily manipulated. Take away the Bible and the Constitution as their foundations and voila...

These cringing, "tolerant" fools are scimitar fodder.

They think the "rules" they and their Leftist heroes make up are going to protect them from real life.

You have an interesting opinion.

If they are cultural revolutionaries, their revolution could make the one of the 60’s look like a walk in the park.

What these absolutely mindless nit wits do not do is look into the future to see what they are creating for themselves. They are rich spoiled brats that are berating the very system that made them spoiled brats, and if the system collapses so will the vast majority of them. Everything they vote for will hurt them the hardest.

I like the term "Snowflake" to describe the Millennials, so delicate, so fragile.

At the least offense they have a total breakdown and seek the nearest Safe Zone.

In the 60s, they tried to take power by being offensive. They insulted, they degraded, deliberately trying to offend someone into making them a “victim” who could take the high ground by virtue of others’ mistakes.

Today, they take power by being offended. Because their “feelings” get hurt, they claim the authority to banish or punish any contrary thought or message.

They claim the right not to be offended, but fail to recognize that this “right” is strictly limited to a person choosing to take offense.

I think somebody read my comment from yesterday and latched onto the idea.

They look much more like organized Marxists to me.

The liberal motto now is, you are saying things that no progressive thinker would agree with so I will defend to YOUR death my right not to hear it.

There is no “Little Billy” in 2015, such a name is hopelessly passe. Now it is DeShawn or LaQuinta or some such, maybe even Plexiglas.
