Campus Reform ^ | May 26, 2017 | Anthony Gockowski

Recent surveys show that many college students feel “less safe” in the wake of Donald Trump’s election and consider safe spaces “absolutely necessary” to the functioning of college campuses.

A LendEDU poll, for instance, asked 1,659 American college students whether they “agree with colleges campuses establishing safe spaces,” determining that 36 percent of respondents believe safe spaces “are absolutely necessary.”

I think these people have Raspberry Pi's implanted in their heads.

Orwell's "1984" becomes reality via Soros/Zuckerberg and minions.

From ISIS and socialists and commies and angry deviants with oppression, theft and murder as their forte. Sure!

It used to be the United States.

By “safe place” they mean safe from contrary viewpoints.

Can’t wait for them to come up against the Chicoms or Russians.
Let’s see. Beleau Wood, Bulge, Chosin, Khe Sanh. Bet there were safe spaces in each of those places.

We’re f^cked.

New Study Finds Wimpy Guys Are More Likely To Be Socialists

MRC TV ^ | May 25, 2017 | Brittany M. Hughes

It’s now been scientifically proven that the wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.

According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they can’t compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening.

According to the Times, U.K., Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.

The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.

“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” explained the university’s own Michael Price. “Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.”

“Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university,” he added. “Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.”

Still, Price says, it’s pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in today’s society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

Because men were still men then, not gender confused emotional little snowflakes. We'd certainly NOT win today. This country still produces some fine, patriotic men, many of whom are serving today...but not nearly enough!

And those phenomenally successful metrosexuals will be profoundly dead a week after we face a real SHTF moment.

Physical strength has a lot to do with motivation. Those with no motivation want redistribution of wealth.

I’m not exactly sure how these snowflakes believe they are “unsafe.” If they want “unsafe,” we should drop some of them off in a less savory part of town after dark, just so they have a proper sense of perspective.

Safe Spaces = No Go Zones

So they can make their bombs and other goodies for the rest of us without fear of detection.

I had a safe space growing up-—it was my home.

When I walked out the door I was on my own—fight or flight. If I didn’t like what I heard,or didn’t like the way that I was treated, I left. (I wasn’t a fighter.)

These kids are pathetic.

“Safe space”, it’s just another term used by liberals to camouflage their fascist tendencies. “Speech-restricted space”, that would be a more honest term.

Excellent insight!

“Physical strength has a lot to do with motivation. Those with no motivation want redistribution of wealth.”
