I was trying to elicit exactly what PTTG meant by "four annoying people over the course of one's college career" by pointing out that there are way more than four people at college who could be deemed "annoying". If you're in a culture in which your views are marginalized (which is true of college conservatives) then you are in fact suppressed every single day in how you can express yourself. It's not incidental "events" it's a constant background, which if you read articles about it does add up to a high level of intimidation of the "wrong-thinkers", which is why mentioning groups like Antifa is relevant. They didn't spring out of nowhere, they are a projection of the college activist community, it's just become more visible outside campuses since Trump. That sort of thing has been simmering inside campuses for years.
That's nothing to do with trigger warnings, it's to do with what PTTG wrote. Is PTTG saying "four annoying people" because I cited four articles in my last post, or something along those lines? If that's the basis of the statement then they clearly didn't read the articles and they have no substantial counterpoints to the points made within those articles.
It's also bullshit to say that anything that could possibly upset people on the other side of politics is merely them being mildly annoyed. That's ... being just as much an asshole as labeling liberals "special snowflakes". Don't belittle others like that. You're doing the same shit you accuse others of.
I'm saying that your hated SJWs aren't anything to do with
Democrats,
democrats, or liberals, other than falling under that banner. Compare that to active efforts by social perscriptivists like Pence or bathroom bill legislators who actually make laws that complicate the lives of everyday people to no ends. The scale, in power and effect, is totally dissimilar. SJWs annoy people, Republicans legislate against people.
"then you are in fact suppressed every single day in how you can express yourself. It's not incidental "events" it's a constant background" This is literally the definition of microaggressions, the core argument of a lot of the most hated SJW stuff.
You're doing the same shit you accuse others of.
Oh, and you're completely wrong about Antifa. They concept has been around in cells since literally the Spanish Civil War, and it's operated in cells with no real central authority pretty much continuously.
But the real problem here is that you keep bringing them up like they're relevant. They aren't. This is a political discussion. Take your campus complaints to the student council meetings or something.
