I think Katherine Timpf is cute.

Pretty, even.

[17th Miss Regt]

Are these people even human?

Timfp? Never heard of her. That’s sound’s like the sound my engine makes just before it goes clump and then silence. One nice thing about this election will be after Trump is elected all the Timfp’s, Krauthammer’s,Will’s, et al will take a four year siesta in some enclave where I never have to read their words again.

“The more inequality we have, the privilege gets checked by more privileged people, and the more the privileged feel pleasure (and power) in being aware of their privilege and so, grow in power,” Atali writes.

Uh, what?

“University of California at Berkeley’s “

Just stopped reading right there.

IF you want to find the most ignorant and stupid people then go to a college. If you want to the find the dumb of dumb then go to Berkeley.

The headline suggested a banking thread.

They’re doing away with privilege checking?

"I -- like many on campus -- care passionately about a kind of talk that is less about asserting one's status and more about working forward without carrying indefensible and silly injustices along," Atali writes.

The best real-world way to work forward is to contribute something of value. Major in engineering and create stuff. Major in medicine and cure disease. Major in business and meet genuine needs that don't depend on a government subsidy. Join the military and protect freedom. Those are all the opposite of being a modern philosophy, gender studies, racial studies, women's studies social justice warrior and wallowing in a privilege so delicate it cannot be talked about but also cannot be ignored.

Note: Gratuitous photo of Katherine Timpf included purely to add to the discourse. The stupid comments come from Efe Atali, a younger pajamaboy [Microsoft, Berkeley Technology Review, White House of the United States (Obama Administration)] who is so neutered he couldn't even feature in an Obamacare ad. Timpf is the writer, a 27 y/o libertarian formerly of Hillsdale College, currently at Fox and National Review. I think she is trying for an eventual SE Cupp cute republican establishment commentator position.

I still don’t know 1) if I have privilege; 2) how much privilege I have; and 3) how exactly to parlay all that privilege into tangible assets.

The author of the claim, Efe Atali, is either nuts or he’s doing the usual social activist thing of jerking the cat toy away. The reason you can never satisfy these people is that they go to great lengths to make it impossible.
