They’re not fragile - they’re Maoists taking advantage of a situation politically.
And we are hiring too many dingbat academicians.
More like useful idiots for the coming Marxist revolution.

He made the mistake of asking for a serious response from idiots.
HE should have repeated some famous quotes and TOLD everyone e knock it off, but they sensed wimpiness.
He should have given them the quote they should all learn to live by “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it”
it’s very twisted. since we have sort or outlawed ambition, b/c that would be too capitalistic...but yet the human heart still seeks productivity, achievement and recognition.
but we have redefined success to mean only that you are part of an aggrieved group, and that you have been offended.
so the identification with a “minority” group and being aggrieved, is the only way to achieve status.
So everyone is rushing to do just that.
it’s very twisted.
It is true that many families are raising weak entitled kids however even those kids will have to operate in the real world someday. They may win battles against weak campus administrators but some day they will run into a wall made up of people who don’t give a damn about their safe spaces.
For years certain groups have used it to great effect. Since we all have different identifiers, we can now charge anyone that is not in our particular sub group as not being able to understand us or feel our outrage.
It is the anti-melting pot strategy.
A generation of delicate little petunias.
In the 1950's where I lived in Bergen county NJ there was a Summer Athletics Program. When school was done for the year the Recreation Dept would senfd to every school playground a Rec Dept guy who would show up at 8:00 AM and bring with him a bag of baseball,softball bats, balls, Paddle ball equipment, badminton equipment, basketballs. He laid it out and went to sit under a tree. We, whoever was there at the time were left to ourselves to set up the equip and play. If there were enough to play softball (minimum needed was 5 per team with special rules) then we chose up sides and we played the game. There was never any interference from the Rec guy and the only tine he was needed was if we had a dispute of some kind over rules. This almost never happened and we were left to our own devices to play the game(s). He was there until 5 PM and unless it rained we played all day with a break (sometimes) for lunch. Kids came and went and as they showed up were immediately placed on one of the teams if they wanted to play. We did it all by ourselves. Kids who got hurt went to the sidelines and sat it out for a bit and came back when they felt better. Anything more than a routine scrape or a bruise was handled by the Rec guy who had a first aid kit. We spent the entire day free from adults and we only now realize what a paradise we lived in way back then. Although there weren't many blacks in our area there were a few in our school and they were welcome to play.
It isn’t that Cultural Marxism is ‘old’ but rather that its’ zealous followers have done their work of unleashing the devil in people really well.
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.
They think the "rules" they and their Leftist heroes make up are going to protect them from real life.
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.
