Social Justice Warriors

They’re appropriately named, “angry, vicious people who want to eliminate disagreement.”

Ultimately, they want to eliminate more than just that.

[Afternoon update]

Here’s an example: Hey, remember that First Amendment?

I touch on these other assaults on free speech to provide a context for Hillary Clinton’s foray into the battle to shut people up (a procedure, it is worth noting, that is often a harbinger of a battle to lock people up). The constitutional amendment that Hillary Clinton told the world she would consider would be directed against the Supreme Court decision in the case of Citizens United. “We need to fix our dysfunctional political system,” quoth Hillary, “and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment.”

Free speech for me, not for thee.

Women ejected from a conference to protect (beta, or perhaps even omega) men. This whole notion of “safe spaces” is culturally insane. What happens to these delicate flowers when they have to go out in the real world? But these people have to politicize every freaking thing. They are totalitarians.

  1. Sit down and let us abolish you

    And what are you going to do, Cupcake, if I refuse? Pout? Stomp your feet? Call me names? Hold your breath like a 3 year old? Go ahead, knock yourself out. I’ll be over here, enjoying life and laughing at you.

  2. These people totally missed the point in expanding the canon. Makes me wonder if the people who sold this back when I was in college were really concerned about exposing students to good literature that had been overlooked by history or if they were just being dishonest racist man haters.

    But they really don’t hate white men but rather what they represent, Western Civilization. Getting schools to stop teaching about old dead white guys is just a way to tear down our culture and society so that it can be replaced.

    How it was sold though, was that history had overlooked many great writers and that we should include them now because they are also part of our culture, which I tend to agree with. This is no longer about inclusion and finding hidden gems from the past though.
