Zero tolerance against bullying is as stupid as all any other zero tolerance policy, and a better way to combat bullying is to teach victim kids to toughen up.

Well yeah, this is the point of a whole lot of other stuff too. Think about how we fight most viruses - we don't rely on anti-virals and poo poo, we use vaccines to get the immune system to go after certain proteins used by viruses, basically it gets the immune system to harden the gently caress up against bad poo poo that might be a problem, rather than just having the meds take care of it entirely on its own. Hell, most of the time the worse the side-effect your kid gets after getting a vaccine, the better it is, because it means their body is going all out getting ready for the real thing.

And how are actual progressive leftie workplaces getting people to stay on? They're not reducing the workload or hours or anything, they're doing stuff like yoga and meditation and resiliency classes and poo poo. They know where the money is, and it's with getting their workforce to take their poo poo rather than reducing the amount of poo poo they poo poo out on their workforce.

So yeah, toughen the gently caress up. College might be a hugbox, but the real world only wants people who can take real world crap.

Also, I don't mind that America is becoming soft. Someone else will be hard in its absence. It'll be kinda sad to watch though, America really did do a lot of cool stuff.

i think kicking someone's rear end usually involves literally aiming a direct kick, at their rear end

military, politics, and economics does not tend to factor into it

Nah, that's reasonable. Way I heard it, you guys put out a massive tax rate to buy and build machines and tanks and planes and jeeps and whatever, and in battle you preferred to sacrifice material instead of troops, so say you bombed a position with a million bucks worth of shells before sending people into it, and used expensive jet fuel on recon and paid wages to analysts, so in the end you had way less casualties. It's not a pussy thing, that's just cunning, and making the most of your strengths.

You were pussies by forgetting how to win an infantry war. WW2 taught you bad habits.

[Edit: didn't teach you the good habit that wars need taxes. What is it with you guys and taxes anyway?]

Part of the problem is the argument you're making.
Instead of actually stating facts and citing examples, you just say that everyone against you is white and male. As if that matters or makes your opposition irrelevant.
That's the tenor of the debate, and its why I personally oppose what you're saying.
You have no clue if someone is white or male, and even if you did, that is not an argument. That's just simple racism to say that "well you're white and male therefore your opinion holds less weight. In fact by your very existence you are threatening me."
I think people are tired of that. It's toxic and I think it should be vigorously opposed.
I could go into a big debate about exactly how wrong you are, but the biggest issue is actually that I don't think your argument goes any deeper than "you're white and a male and therefore wrong."

I was being needlessly provocative and troll-y.

It's just...it's just so fun! Poking fun at other failing empires when you're a province of another empire that's collapsed. Looking for every sign of weakness, and laughing at even the hint of such a sign. And with the United States it's just especially delicious. You broke away so far into history, really, even before the continent of my country was officially discovered, that it shouldn't matter at all, you're definitely your own guys, but there's still a special joy in finding every little misstep you make, even if my own country makes far greater blunders.

You are fun to ridicule.
