Did anyone watch Ben Shapiro on Megyn Kelly last night? I didn't realize how fucking psycho the left had become. Well I guess I actually did, but now they aren't even trying to hide it. The cops wouldn't let him address the crowd outside because they couldn't guarantee his safety and had to sneak audience members in and out a secret back door. We're not talking about a fuckin prison break here. This is a tax payer funded public state university completely taken over by jackbooted leftard cockbags. I typically ridicule people for comparing political opponents to nazi's -- but seriously -- these motherfuckers -- mark my words -- will be burning books before this election season is over.

Fuck the left.

Fuck the left.

Try not to despair too much. It's not a majority of lefties that feel this way--just a vocal minority.

[–]Altosxk [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'm kind of in agreement. The issue is, however, that this vocal minority is getting their way it would seem and the non-leftist liberals aren't doing anything to say "Yall need to calm the fuck down" because then this vocal minority eats their own.

Small minority maybe, but they wield a lot of power and it's frankly scary.

99% of liberals make the rest look bad.

[–]obfusc8r [スコア非表示]  (22子コメント)

For a non-American, what the hell is a "safe space", really? Is this really a place segregated by race and/or orientation where straight white folks are not welcome? Or is it not that bad?

[–]snokesapprentice [スコア非表示]  (14子コメント)

The best possible explanation.

[–]ziggmuff [スコア非表示]  (13子コメント)

15 sec ad for a 15 sec clip, just can't bring myself to do it. Fuck you youtube!

[–]snokesapprentice [スコア非表示]  (12子コメント)

You should get adblock.

[–]JibrishBurke Conservative [スコア非表示]  (10子コメント)

Ublock is where it's at now. It's adblock without the ability for advertisers to pay to let ads through it.

[–]McGoliath [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

So it's adblock but with the "allow non intrusive ads" box unchecked?

[–]KingOfTheP4sCruz supporter [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

They also don't sell browsing data like adblock does now

[–]JackBond1234 [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

I've seen two different Adblock extensions for Chrome. Do they both do that? ... Because against my better judgment, I use both simultaneously.

[–]KingOfTheP4sCruz supporter [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'm not quite sure myself, I just remember that from the big discussion reddit had over it a while yonder back. I use uBlock now.

[–]uberpowerLibertarian Conservative Traditionalist [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You only need "Ublock Origin".

[–]JibrishBurke Conservative [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

"allow non intrusive ads" box unchecked?

Even that doesn't block everything for non adblock + in my experience.

There's a lot of controversy with adblock.

[–]snokesapprentice [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll check that out.

[–]uberpowerLibertarian Conservative Traditionalist [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

"Ublock Origin" is the current best for Google Chrome. It is run by the original Ublock developer.

"Ublock" doesn't have some per site switch features and is more focused on making money, asking for donations and developing for-pay apps.

[–]the_tylerd91 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Can confirm. Love Ublock.

[–]Gungnir5 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Any recommendations for mobile?

I've seen it used in any of three ways over the past few years.

  1. The earliest examples I heard of where literal, physical locations that were designated safe spaces for "people" who were emotionally triggered by some content. eg. I recall there being an academic conference or event a few years ago where a room was set up with stuffed animals and videos of puppies and shit so that people who couldn't handle the emotional stress of the conference could... unfuck themselves - I don't know. These "safe spaces" started showing up around the time that the "triggering" and "microagressions" cancer was spilling out of tumbler.
  2. After that, we got purely intellectual "safe spaces". Classrooms, media publications, and other fora where the administration promised not to undermine the opinions and feels of minorities (and women) or anyone with an expressed cundishun. Ergo, they would censor content which disagreed with the protected class' opinions.
  3. Now we have physical safe spaces 2.0, where unfavorable demographics of people are banned from either being present or expressing their opinion. These might be as benign as a student organization designating their meetings to be only for students of a particular race, gender, et c. and throwing a fit if their wishes are transgressed. Some group may also designate a public space as exclusive to some protected class or group and physically remove members of the out-group who try to use the space.

So, to answer your question. It's not "that bad"; it's much worse. It's not always straight, white males. It could be any group who disagrees with the narrative. The "safe space" phenomenon is now spreading out of academia and into public protest and the mainstream media.

It's where mentally disturbed lepers can segregate themselves from society so the rest of us can have normal conversations like adults. I, for one, am in favor of safe spaces. Keep those lunatics in their asylums.

[–]obfusc8r [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

No, I read the wikipedia article, this is where I got the part that it's related to sexual orientation and feminists too.

But I'm wondering if those are really segregated or rather no one is excluded, even indirectly.

A place where the uninformed and easily offended can hide from reality

[–]StabbyDMcStabberson [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

A 'safe space' segregates based on ideology and excludes anyone saying things that are insufficiently progressive.

[–]dicyanin [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

This amazed me when I read it last year

An Asian student at Claremont McKenna College was shamed and silenced for saying “black >people can be racist” and asking her peers to look beyond skin color to see people’s hearts.

[–]Jfreak7 [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Obstacle to safe space? Do these people wanting a safe space not own a house? Wait, of course they don't. Parents basement should be a safe enough space.

[–]ziggmuff [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Why is this going on? Who at the schools are pushing this bullshit? I certainly cant believe if the students are coming up with this shit, it has to be a hippy whacko faculty, right?

[–]jamesthunder88 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It's both. The faculty teaches students these opinions when they are struggling to find themselves and they decide this is who I am, now it becomes both.

This is horrible. We founded this country on the belief that all men are made equal; the safe spaces my party totes these days are despicable to say the least. As a child I was raised knowing one real lesson, you're gonna encounter people you do not agree with and do not get along with in life, learn to live with it.

This is inescapable, and as much as my party likes to tote political correctness I personally believe that the construct is counterintuitive to the process of creating an open nation. If we focus too much on creating safe spaces instead of teaching our children how to handle disagreement, or even learning to voice their own viewpoint, than how do we expect them to compete in the business or political world, both of which revolve around competition and ability to articulate arguments.

[–]hezzospike [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Dude, saying all men are equal means you view women as less than men. I mean come on, it's 2016!

/s

[–]MrLeeman123 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Haha saw this in my messages and thought you were serious till I remembered what sub I was on. But yes I clearly think women are less than men and deserve to be subjected to the very real wage gap. It's worked for 2016 years why change it now?

They don't. The lunatic fringe left wants to indoctrinate the youth so that there's no dissent.

[–]NewAlexandria [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

If you are on a campus today, and faced with this challenge:

  • check whether you are running a university-designated safe space
  • consider starting your own group with a space. Specifically brand it as
    • "not conforming to safe space rules"
    • a mature space for polite, opinionated, discussions
    • enforce politeness and decency. Be willing to upset trolls of any ideology and direct them toward known echo-chambers in the area.
  • be classy and set an example that let's healthy people flock from the cesspools.

Hearing these stories makes me emotionally ill.

Too many people are fostering a society in which people think they are entitled to never being offended, never feeling uncomfortable, never feeling anything but sheer happiness, never having to be accountable for one's actions....why would anyone think that is a society that can survive?

[–]softnmushy [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

About 20 years ago, I went to one of the most left-wing schools in the country. I can't remember a single instance of crazy reverse-racism or other silliness that is listed in this article.

I really wonder if things have actually changed that much, or if the media has just gotten really good at hyping up wackiness in order to generate clicks.

[–]KingOfTheP4sCruz supporter [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

It actually has gotten pretty bad. Of course there's a bit of hype in any article, but things have honestly gone down hill hard.

[–]softnmushy [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

How do you know?

If you are a conservative on a liberal campus, you're going to disagree with a lot of what is said.

But this article lists events that I think 95% of liberals would agree are ridiculous.

If you are a conservative on a liberal any campus

Wow, how dare him speak out against discrimination and refuse to inject politics into the writing center. What a terrible guy. /s

[–]bmarcelles [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I can't imagine what it's like to be in college nowadays.

[–]Altosxk [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Not really that bad. Just avoid the liberal arts portions of campus and you're good.

Not to say "muh STEM" but it's frankly true. Anybody that has the time to worry about such nonsense is clearly pursuing a useless, cakewalk degree.
