I don't like to think my stupidity has peaked. I like to think I get stupider with every dumb year on this stupid planet.
Anyway I'm off for a month in Indonesia.
I feel like I was much dumber as an infant than I was as a college student.
BTW of all the causes of which to take up arms for, students maybe overreacting about things at universities you don't go to strikes me as an odd choice
Oh, and if any of you think safe spaces leave you too soft and unprepared to life, I have two other college words: cinema major.
My cause is not so much 'college students complaining' as it is 'gross irrationality' in all forms. This covers racism, political deceit, organized religion, anti-intellectualism, assaults on free speech, gun fetishism and the majority of Twitter-based dialogue.

Yeah, these naive kids think they can just graduate and immediately get hired as an unpaid blogger at FilmSchoolRejects.com. You gotta pay your dues first!

Back in my day we had to work two, maybe three years before Buzzfeed offered to pay us in exposure.
Ha. Cinema Major actually taught me to be a pretty good manager in my opinion. You had to manage a production with zero budget, and somehow motivate people to work well for you, with only coffee and MAYBE a slice of pizza if my bank account was strong enough that week. Managing 10-20 people in this case was great practice for the future, because these workers could literally not show up for you, and there wouldn't be any repercussions.
I'm being pretty sincere here. This combined with my fire department experience really helped me out.
Nice! My cinema major ended up comprising mostly of film analysis versus production (I figure it was a 2/1 ratio), so I was ill-prepared for... most things. Not that I blame anyone but myself, of course.
Exactly! The college students here are just the latest example of this trend.

C'mon, really? "Gross irrationality" is an apt description of the human race. This will never change. Your post reads like you're tilting at windmills with the pretense of human intelligence behind it.
College students have always been like this. The internet just makes it easier to notice.

Yeah, that's probably pretty accurate.

I'm on a college campus where nobody seems concerned about any of these things. Also, it's possible for something to be published in Oberlin's newspaper that 99 percent of the student body disagrees with. I say this as someone who edits a student newspaper.
I fully believe that society today would be at a much worse place if students don't complain about everything so much. I salute them for continuing to do so despite being called names by the people who benefit from their accomplishments.

Goddamit, Scar. Now I want to see Demolition Man again.
My work here is done.

I'd argue that a student has never accomplished anything in their short little lives. Except for maybe Zuckerberg. And Sean Parker.
Going to a big college (20,000 students), everyday there would be a new protest about something no one cared about. Didn't make an impact whether they existed or not. Look at the Occupy movement. What did that accomplish? Big fat zero and that was about the biggest movement I'd ever seen.

We had this conversation before and I don't wish to revisit it, but you know I disagree and think that Occupy's impact is everywhere. For one thing, one current major Presidential candidate's entire campaign is based on Occupy's rhetoric and has basically absorbed people who were sympathetic to Occupy into his base.
But to the other point, to say college protests accomplish nothing is to ignore American history in the 20th century.

College protests in the 20th century accomplished tons, yes.
And there are some good causes and protests on now of course.
But the media likes to shine the spotlight on the silly shit like yoga classes being a case of cultural appropriation, and inauthentic Chinese food being a form of racism.
And I get suckered in every time.

I believe you're identifying the problem, which is a combination of what Irish said and what I said before. When your race or your gender or your sexual orientation is a sticking point in every interaction you have and the status quo is in the habit of dismissing there's even an issue with those interactions, you are going to overcompensate when you start fighting back, until you figure out where to reel it in. This is how political correctness has always been done throughout history. It's a constant negotiation process through cultures clashing over a variety of issues and seeing where is the compromise that people are comfortable with applying. That process hasn't changed, it always plays out the way protests play out. Dialogue starts, a compromise is reached, new lexicons get adopted into mainstream use, and the ideologies evolve enough for there to be a next (hopefully even more important) fight.
What has changed is exactly what Irish said, in that the internet has amplified the reach of protests, including those that don't deserve to be amplified, which in turn fish out more people to weigh in that probably in all honesty shouldn't weigh in if they haven't been familiarized with the climate of what things are like for minorities in the places those protests take place. It's not like things like feminism and civil rights and anti-cultural appropriation movements pop out of a vacuum. There's a looong lead-in of tiny slights like a dumb sauce or a Halloween costume that compounds into or supports the more significant and agreeable forms of marginalization (again, as someone who's been posting with you lot for over a decade, I can easily point to certain posters here who would react a certain way when prompted a certain way not because the jab is especially cutting but because it touches a sore spot). Or as Nick Fury put it...

Also what's with the lack of reaction to this.Also here's a gif of penetrative sex viewed through an ultrasound that I was looking at this morning.
