If you watch the video it's pretty clear that most of the students are signing to get him to shut up and leave them alone as he stands on the steps aggressively accosting passerbyEAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Yeah one of the MOs of the New Right was that they had to chew away at these longstanding moderate institutions like Harvard and Yale (to a lesser extent Princeton, because of how conservative it has always been) and then try to make discourse coming from places like Liberty equivalent to the scholarship at Yale. They don't like Princeton these days on account of black SJWs or whatever. I think Dartmouth's the current untouchable

I read it in Grade 8 and it's still one of my favorite books to be honest (along with Lord of the Flies and 1984 from that same period). But yeah I'm serious, they didn't understand the dialogue. I know that it can sometimes be challenging to read dialogue in older texts, but Animal Farm came out in 1945

Christ i think AP english senior year we had to read canterbury tales. My parents would always comment at how amazed they were our reading, math, and science in school had advanced so much since they were kids. Now it sounds like its plummeting the other direction.

A misanthrope posted:hate for this non-threat is blinding you to the real issues. sjws are not the people who are destroying our country and the future of the middle class Conservatives are going to conservative, discussing anything with them is never an information based argument. The left at this point IS characterized by shallow identity politics and twitter bullying celebrities. Given that we are going to need some form of basic income in the next decade and you have a literal generation of idiots completely distracted by faux progressivism it seems a bit reckless for you to simply shoo criticism of idiots as per your shut down discussion strategy.

I notice that "triggered" becoming a tired meme has coincided with the dumber parts of the left no longer pushing mandatory trigger warnings as some kind of a legitimate thing, so it was probably worth it in the long run.

Yeah, from their tone of voice it sounds like it's been heavily selectively edited and he probably prompted them with "sign this petition, it's supposed to be an ironic demonstration of how ignorant students can be"- hence the "I like what you guys are doing" type responses.

Silliman is sorta semi off-campus and they used to have the Exotic Erotic Ball in late September which was a courtyard party where you were encouraged to be naked or half-naked. One time I was there and this girl lifted up my loincloth and checked out my junk and took me back to her room to bone but then she pulled out this weird high tech condom that had like and adhesive fastener around the base and while I was putting it on she started lecturing me about feminism. I think her fetish was ruining boners. Anyway, that might be why I don't sleep with white women very much anymore.

Why would anyone teach Animal Farm or Nineteen Eighty-Four outside of their very particular historical contexts? To make Orwell seem like an anticommunist reactionary? Why would anyone teach anticommunism in the twenty-first century?

Also I'm sure there is nothing important hiding in the cuts between when he first approaches the students and when they sign the petition in every single scene. Free speech is great because America has worked out a public sphere where we all have protected speech and it's totally worthless in accomplishing anything meaningful, so the people who take up the standard in protection of this right are assholes who want to be able to to harass people and yell out slurs. Reactionaries were super pro-censorship until colleges started telling people it was rude to use racist words 30 years ago.
