This is called the burning issue trap. The burning issue trap is the belief that there are compelling social issues that require your participation. Some people feel good inside by pathologically enslaving themselves by assuming a responsibility to observe, judge, and correct any social problems.
There is utter confusion of people in college that have not had to struggle in their lives. The problems is that they don’t understand the real world and thus don’t comprehend the difference between real and theoretical problems.
2 weekends ago, I was a birthday party - and talked to a very nice grad student in Math. He was genuinely interested in world affairs - but had no real experiences. So what he really knows comes from formal/informal campus discussions.
So very concerned about inclusion etc. and seemingly less worried about people around the world struggling to put food on the table. He just did not understand real poverty around the world and real struggles.
He needs to be shook out of this mindset. But that wont happen
There's nothing irrational about fearing about having one's head cut off for not holding a certain sick belief.
It's time to bring back the draft, cancel all deferments for these 'special snowflakes', and ship them to Syria so they can set up 'safe spaces' for the poor misunderstood jihadi victims of 'Islamophobia'.
Just explain to them in very simple uneducated terms what real fascism and intolerance is. Obliviously their school failed to teach them even the most basic critical thinking skills required to recognize what they themselves are doing is no different than what fascist of the past have done to aggressively destroy and suppress any other point of view.
They failed to learn this skill of introspection the same way they failed to learn about the diversity of views being necessarily mutually exclusive. In a world of people as thin-skinned as themselves it is entirely impossible to avoid offending anyone.
if your going to react with fascism and history burning to that offence your going to live in a very fascist and intolerant place.
To think these morons are allowed to walk free in public and vote.

Call your reps and tell them not one Syrian refugee is to be admitted to the USA.
You do not want another 9/11.
You do not want another Paris ...this time on our soil.
For the morons in DC who say we need to take our fair share of refugees, our fair share was 7,000 dead men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 50,000 wounded warriors.
That was our fair share.
The Arabs with all their oil money can take care of their brothers.
Not our problem.
Make the call. It is time the jerks in DC are reminded who the bosses of this country really are.
It will all change after the leftists have completed their destruction of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
A benevolent strongman like Pinochet will come along and many of the loony left will turn up missing.
When the walls of ivy come tumbling down as a result of a massive bomb....that will be the wake up call.
... and for damn good reason, eh?
Especially given that the Islimes continue murdering innocent people all over the globe while being coddled by the disgraceful United States commander-in-chief, too stupid and ignorant to recognize that the first "I" in the self-named ISIS stands for Islamic, and who also, according to recent revelations, has been refusing to read intelligence reports on Islamic terrorism.
Personally, I also have College Lib-phobia ... a thoroughly detestable lot.
