Ralph Nader is not impressed with today's young people.

In an interview with the Pacific Standard, the former presidential candidate called modern college culture "absurd," specifically referring to the so-called "trigger-warning."

Trigger warnings are disclaimers in front of a piece of writing or video that warn people of potentially offensive content. They became a topic of discussion when college activists started asking for them to be included inside course materials.

Nader said, "You repress people, you engage in anger, and what you do is turn people into skins that are blistered by moonbeams. Young men now are far too sensitive because they've never been in a draft."

He also criticized the Black Lives Matter movement, calling it "so sensitive to injustice." He said it isn't organized enough to last, comparing it to Occupy Wall Street.

Ralph Nader is far left, but I agree what he says about today's college students.

He is a real thorn for DU. Someone should burn a mole and post it at DU. :mental: :lmao:

Nader helped create this brand of "Progressivism", attempted to ride it into the White House, and thereby became its traitor-bogey, being blame for AlGore's loss in the 2000 Presidential election.



Hey Ralph Nader,   :ownit:

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
