If you are interested in SJW and current 'victimhood' culture, this guy hits the nail on the head.

Just though I'd share for the intellectuals on this forum; trolls/trash may want to avoid.

Pretty balanced look at it.....and yes trolls/ trash should avoid......might find themselves triggered.


Only problem is that this is long and it takes some time to get through.

Watched about half, I will give the prof props for being as balanced and unbiased as possible. Something our universities don't have this day and age. I don't think you need a lecture or study to call a spade a spade though. As sleeper would put it, SJWs simply need to grow up.

I think a better way of putting it, is that college administrators/educators need to stop buying into/catering to this kind of thinking.

I'll add minute 34 and on is where it gets get good.

The first part is good too, but the important part is the latter half.

That's really his whole mission and the foundation of his non-profit is to get universities to agree to allow freedom of speech and diversity of ideas on campus.

The reason I like the video is he actually put terms to ideas that I've thought about over the past few years or so. The idea how we are teaching at the university level of this 'good' vs. 'bad, 'victim' vs. 'oppressor' that's an absolute cancer to a free society. The idea of the big 6(now 9) victim groups, the idea of sacredness, the idea of the 4 "blasphemy" tenants; we basically ignore the unpleasant realities of society in order to protect feelings; feelz over realz.

No. I don't need a video to understand reality.

But clearly you didn't watch it. It pretty much destroys, politely, SJW's and explains why they are trash. Enjoy!

Don't need to, when you're a busy guy like myself, time is expensive. Not wasting my time on some trash video felt the urge to post to validate yourself and your opinions. Low Self Esteem at it's finest!

SJWs are trash. Social conservatives are trash.

Easy way of looking at things correctly.

In the time it took you to write this post, I made half your yearly salary.

Enjoy!

Correct but not entirely what the video is about.

The thing I liked about it was proving the existence of, and using grownup terminology on the concept of the "wussification of America". It's real, and even more damaging than I had thought.

Pretty much this.

I'd love for this guy to come speak at Ohio State. He did give credit to the University in other lectures about how they have handled the SJW-like issues.

You must give speeches on behalf of the Clinton Foundation.

Lol this was addressed in the video. You can't be bothered to try to understand an opposing viewpoint...

Two logical fallacies here.

1. You assume I adhere to the SJW mindset, everyone is a victim etc... I don't. I'm in the IDGAF/Heretic pool. This is a meaningless trivial label that Sleeper argues with himself on the OC about. It's funny bc he's acts like the victim (the really issue with SJW, lack of rational thought everyone is out to get you mentality). Use rational thought Sleeper!

2. Not all opposing view points are worth hearing out. By this logic, I should have to listen to climate change deniers, hitler apologists, sun eaters, 9/11 conspirators, etc... Time is valuable, I'm not wasting it on trash.

When it comes to SJWs, it definitely is worth hearing it out. It's not a trivial label, and it's going to be a bigger problem than it already is in the future.

I like the this guy's approach and it may be more effective than the rabble rousers (i.e. milo) who are fighting back against the easily offended. Their style brings the lulz, however it is not affective in teaching the future of our country the importance of free thought and speech.

So you didn't watch the video. Gotcha.

The lecture is really good, but I said the trolls/trash wouldn't get it. Congrats on labeling yourself.

I agree with your post though.
