+1 "too many people have forgotten what it means to be free. It takes courage, self-responsibility, and independent thinking. When other people have that (not just you) it means dealing with unpleasant disagreements. " Very well said. May I quote you?

Have you ever tended a toddler, and watch him push the boundaries? All the way to the inevitable spanking? Then you know what you're dealing with.

The problem Zenphamy, is that the Social Justice Warriors will claim that White male pro-liberty group already has it "safe space" called the United States because the US is a racist, homophobic, transphobic, mysogynist society (as well as any other "ist" I may have missed). And White males need to check their privledge. I mean where can these crybabies get to be the center of their own echo chambers than in the one place where critical debates should be at its most free. We wouldn't want to expose them to any other points of view that might shatter their precious little, tiny self esteem because we all know that the real world is so forgiving and coddling to these morons. Or at least it is getting there.

The problem I'm having with whites is that they won't stand up for themselves or what's right. They apologize for even small infractions, ones that the average person would ignore. All that does is egg on the victimized schmucks. As for "racism," it really should be called "tribalism." Just look at the world, from Cambodia to Rwanda to the Balkans. Even though they look the same, they've found reasons to be complete assholes with each other. It's not race, but tribe. The only reason "race" plays such an important role in the US is because a single "racial" group got the short end of the stick for a period of time, but even then, it wasn't all one way, because there were different races getting it in the shorts over that same period. The main reason it's sticking with blacks is because the media and others keep saying that blacks have a "right" to screw up because of slavery and Jim Crow, and need special handling. However, they conveniently ignore the fact that blacks made more progress during the Jim Crow era on their own, than since the beginning of the "great" society. Blacks are being rewarded for bad behavior. But notice that it's now spreading to thinking, not what you look like, and it's raising its ugly head in the centers of learning, not on the street corner. You can't walk away from this problem, or ignore it. It must be confronted, and beat down, intellectually for sure, and physically if necessary.

CG, I say this with the utmost sincerity. I have held out hope for you since the beginning of my time in the gulch. Now if you can find the article that explains to you that it's basically the entire democratic party and about half (or more) of the republicans are the cause of these problems. That of course is with the exception of children's parents, who have been living the good life and turning over their children's education to society. IMHO, parents need to teach their children to understand these problems before they get into the public school system. It is very hard to change what they have been taught.

Respectfully,

To give you more grey hairs, the President of Amherst College refused to implement student-demanded changes to throttle free speech. She was responding to the claim that the college had an "institutional legacy of white supremacy,colonialism, anti-black racism,anti-Latinx racism,anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism,, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism."

To be honest, I'm not even sure what some of those claims mean!. What is the difference between Native American and Native/indigenous, and WTF is cis-sexism? This is PC gone crazy, and I thought I'd seen it all, but I had more to come.

A woman providing free Yoga classes on a campus in Ottowa, Canada was instructed she had to stop teaching, because the college had received complaints of "cultural appropriation." I had to look that term up. Apparently, not welcoming a different culture's various aspects is "cultural imperialism," and offensive, while adopting an aspect of a different culture is malicious, unworthy theft of that culture's historic behavioral property, called "cultural appropriation," and is also offensive. The goal is obviously to create an ever-restrictive environment where it becomes impossible not to offend someone. I'm inclined to decide not to miss an opportunity to be as offensive as possible, and I'm a pretty easy-going guy.

Given all of the above, is it any surprise Donald Trump is finding support?
