DUmmie Talks PC Policing....Forgets About Irony

Unpopular opinion: PC policing is going WAY TOO far.

I know this may be unpopular here, but three videos which are going viral on Reddit and Twitter are showing just how out of control this is getting.

The first video shows a photographer from the video trying to snap photos on a college campus where he is told he is not allowed to, and that he's violating everyone's "safe space" all while getting verbally assaulted and threatened by students saying he doesn't have a right to take their picture, at the end of the video one professor calls out that she "needs some muscle here" to get rid of the guy filming the encounter. He was completely in the right being there considering he is a journalist and a student at the University..

VIDEO

The second video is a professor parrying a verbal assault by a student who is upset about an e-mail going out saying that students have the right to free speech with their costumes, but should avoid wearing stuff that offends others. She freaks out about how allowing these costumes somehow makes students feel unsafe at the university etc. Apparently the administrations efforts were not enough for her...:

"It is not about creating an intellectual space, it is about creating a home here!" No sorry, it's about creating an intellectual space, that's what university is about, going out of your comfort zone and growing as a person.

VIDEO

And finally, we have the voice of reason as the Professor defends his position and gives the students a lesson in free speech in this video, the students yell about how offensive speech should be banned, the professor responds: Who gets to decide its offensive? and another student cries out "When it hurts me, when it's offensive to me!." Yikes, so anything that is offensive should not be allowed under free speech?

 VIDEO

I'm sorry but I just don't see how this type of behavior helps anyone. Shouting over opposing views, trying to silence free speech, safe spaces, attempting to ban everything deemed offensive. I recognize the need for increased consideration towards minorities as I'm one myself, but not like this-- this type of stuff only hurts the cause. The real world is not like this... these students and some faculty need a reality check.

I'd welcome everyones thoughts and a discussion about this...

So basically, everything the DUmp, Occupy, Planned Parenthood, Code Pink, and every other liberal organization, and person out there give merit to, and stand for. That about right? I don't have a great train of thought at 2:10am, but there has to be a word for this self recognition projected onto others with the complete, and utter unrealization that you are what you are rallying against.

Oh, and you do, Ram? Why increased consideration? I'm as human as a black man, a Hispanic man, a Korean man, or any other man out there. What's with the reverse racism, dude?

1. That's not an "unpopular opinion," it's very popular among society's dimmer bulbs.

Dyed in the wool liberal. To the bone, ladies and gentlemen.

2. Your post is a shining of example of the problem.

Personal attack while not addressing the substance of the post or discussing the issue at hand.

5. How much time do I need to waste on answering trite nonsense, exactly?

Yeah, asshole!

8. Some call objecting to holocaust denial, use of N-word and sexist slurs "PC policing"
 
People have differing views on what is PC/PC policing and what is not.

Who? And the only time the N-word is policed, and the offending user subject to massive ridicule is when the user is anything but of African dissent. Which is totally a double standard, and PC in and of itself, but that's a totally new thread.

10. Right, but the title was how it's going too far
 
As in, policing less serious things that hurt other peoples feelings are deemed offensive. Like halloween costumes... and then actively trying to stifle free speech by using physical and verbal force to that end. 

Which is EXACTLY what you liberal poo-flingers do at every single chance you get. No matter how little or cockamamie the situation may be.

16. There are a couple astronomical units between holocaust denial and any halloween costume
 
No sane person struggles with these boundaries, unless they're making a spectacle of their "tolerance" for the like-minded. 

And....?

I'll wait...

20. I can't imagine them out in the wide, wild world.
 
Little precious snowflakes who are in for a rude awakening.

Am I the only one who finds this incredibly hilarious and horribly, gut wrenchingly sad at the same time. "It's not me. It's these f*cked up college kids..."

70. That's always my very first thought.
 
How the fck are these pwecious widdle darlings going to last two weeks in a real world that is not predigested, carefully screened and is filled to the brim with shrieking assholes.

Learning to deal with things and people you don't agree with or who "offend" your pwecious self is called GROWING UP and BECOMING AN ADULT.

These kids are lagging way, way behind. By the time I was a teenager my parents taught me the world was NOT going to rearrange itself to suit me. Looks like these spoiled brats need to lear that lesson ASAP. 

I guess everyone in DUmmieland never learned that then, did you? Pre-digested? Check. Carefully screened? Check....ish. Filled to the brim with shrieking assholes? CHECK!

And actually, they're sadly not lagging way behind. Miserably, they're right with the times thanks to your leaders in power. I can only hope that 1. When they meet one of OUR kind with a semblance of reason, rationale, and understanding, they don't shit themselves on the spot. 2. Our kind don't just die out with the road we're going down.

How dare you condescend idiotically as if you are not the problem.

Have at it, guys. I've had enough for the nightmorning.

That's not an "unpopular opinion," it's very popular among society's dimmer bulbs.

It's their world-view. PC policing hasn't gone far enough for them.

Liberals/progressives are totalitarians. The only acceptable speech is what they approve. The only acceptable thoughts are what they approve. The only acceptable actions are what they approve. Anything else is to be punished. If they're trying to put a square peg into a round hole, and nature and life's circumstances reject it, they continue to try and force a square peg into a round hole, and they try to force you to accept that it will work. And, as with all liberals that have gone before, when things don't go exactly their way, they eventually resort to violence and murder. But they've already predetermined that, should it come to that, it's justified.

And that's what we're seeing at Mizzou and some of these other college campuses when they shout down things they don't like and call for violence for those who don't obey their demands. One things to keep in mind is there's a whole bunch of students on these campuses who don't participate because they realize just how stupid and immature it is. A lot of them just want to finish their studies, have a good time, and then move on with their lives, so they don't go out and counter-protest. They just identify the kooks and avoid them.

For crying out loud.

For all the lurking DUmmies, HERE is why these precious snowflakes act the way they do. Keep in mind these are ALL LIBERAL policies, with LIBERAL enforcement:

1) Everybody ties so nobody cries. We don't want to hurt the feelings of the losers. The biggest crock of BS. These snowflakes were taught since kindergarten there is NO competition and that everyone is equal. No winners, no losers.

2) NO playing tag. We don't want to hurt the feelings of whoever is "it".

3) Participation trophys. We don't want to hurt the feelings of whoever DIDN'T win the championship. NO mention on the trophy what place their team ended up in. Everyone gets the same trophy. Again, they're taught everyone is equal, no winners, no losers.

4) DON'T grade papers with red ink. Use purple. We don't want to hurt the feelings of those who really messed up an exam by not studying or not trying.

5) NO "offensive" speech (with the LIBEAL teacher the arbiter of what is "offensive"). This teaches the snowflakes that when someone says something they don't like (opposing point of view), they can complain and have the "offender" silenced. They grow up not knowing how to handle differing opinions.

I could go on, and on but you get the idea. They're conditioned since BIRTH and you idiots wonder why they act the way they do now. It's LIBERALISM at is finest, or worst, depending on your point of view. They're taught their FEELINGS come first regardless of facts or discussion. No real world experience, and you idiots wonder why. Look in the mirror and you'll see who's responsible.

Here is a classic way to discern conservatives and liberals:

Conservatives believe everyone is equal at the START line, with winners and losers at the finish line.
Liberals believe everyone is equal at the FINISH line, regardless who won and who lost.

Liberals disgust me.

I'm surprised that guy has made it 740 posts, if he's willing to post something like that.  I doubt he'll make 1k.

I'm still awaiting the great "Bernie Purge" that is sure to come here soon..

Reaping what was sown, but too stupid to remember what was planted.    

Just about sums up liberalism.

I'm still awaiting the great "Bernie Purge" that is sure to come here soon..

Given the way the rectally-apertured primitives supporting Methuselah have been conducting themselves, bullying and threatening and scaring away normal primitives, the purge can't come too soon.

I thought perhaps the purge was underway when Lord Marblehead EarlG banned Skippy, the NYC_SKP primitive, some months ago.  That was the best thing that'd happened to Skins's island since hippyhubby Wild Bill a few years earlier had forbade the hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer from hanging around the cooking and baking forum, and I was expecting even better things to come.

But alas they didn't.  I dunno why Skins is so shy about banning the Bernie bullies; it's not as if they're big contributors to Skins's island anyway; all together, they probably don't donate more than enough to keep the office petty-cash fund filled.

I suspect the violence, both advocated and performed, of the Bernie bullies caught Skins off guard; too, he was probably expecting the primitives favoring the worthier candidate for the Democrat nomination to resist the Bernie bullies, standing up for their own candidate.....which unfortunately never happened.

It's pretty sad when the only primitive with balls to stand up to the mob is a little itty-bitty tiny lass up there in remote Alaska; thank God she at least was born with a mouth big enough for someone three times her actual size.
