I think I understand that, actually. A libertarian friend pointed it out to me. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 16/06/2017 12:30:09 AM

Yeah, the Republicans have won control of the government, but what losses have progressives actually endured? Keep in mind that most college progressives are way too financially privileged to actually care about labor issues, which is most of what the current administration and Congress has altered thus far.

Roe hasn't been overturned. Neither has Obergefell or Lawrence. If all you care about is identity politics, there haven't been any substantive defeats yet. I think modern progressives are unable to comprehend that the pendulum can swing back. That's why you get these little mini-Stalins running around universities screaming about free speech being harmful.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

The funny thing about violence is you can't control it. Tom - 14/06/2017 04:31:35 PM 1305 Views
So you thought that would scare me Tom? Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:30:34 PM 1263 Views
The aim was not to scare anyone. It was to show that violence is not controllable. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:12 AM 1297 Views

That's not correct. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:19:06 AM 1294 Views
