They’ve gone from real complaints about segregation of the 1950s to getting people fired for no reason. This is a mob mentality where ‘free speech zones’ mean, “Nobody is allowed to say anything I don’t agree with and I’ll get them fired if they do.”
Hard to disagree with anything here.
Rejoice Comrades!!!
The Revolution runs apace!!!
IMHO
I had an idealistic (though not very well thought through) opinion of US involvement in Viet Nam and I HAVE been a participant in Anti-War demonstrations
I HAVE been swept up (when you're in the middle of a crowd and it begins to move .... SO DO YOU ... so "swept up" is a perfectly perfect phrase) ... by the momentum .... got separated from my girlfriend and managed to wheedle my way out and over to the outer edge and be able to stop and think
I watched people 17 to 30 yell loudly and become a river of humanity
And I vowed to never again become part of a crowd (a vow I've kept)
When I see any crowd, I flash back to that night in Boston when SDS instigated mayhem almost got me arrested or killed and certainly scared me.
The ONLY way for a crowd to BE a crowd is to be mindless .... literally ... mindless
You have to forget you can think and stop thinking ...
You have to become instinctively animalistic and operate your body like everybody else
The crowd mentality is the coup of the left (or the enemy, if you prefer)
All they have to do is gather a crowd and yell "fire"
When I was in college, classmates were being drafted and sent to war(we didn’t all have student deferments), now, these pansies get the vapors when someone disagrees with them. I can’t wait until these nitwits try to face down a thirty year mortgage or even sit up all night with a collicky baby
Safe space? How about a time out space called the county jail.
These are the real zombies that everyone is scared of.
When you were in college I was in the ninth grade. It was a palpable fear in my hometown of Flint Michigan that the madness taking place at the university in Ann Arbor would somehow make it to our school.
Excellent line.
1) From bondage to spiritual faith;
2) from spiritual faith to great courage;
3) from courage to liberty;
4) from liberty to abundance;
5) from abundance to selfishness;
6) from selfishness to complacency;
7) from complacence to apathy;
8) from apathy to dependence;
9) from dependency back again into bondage
I’d say we are right about number 8.
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is always the revolution.
The new dimension to this fiction is Pinkel.
Modern day witch hunts by the Torquemada-left are a common thing these days.
Derek really seems to get it.
