I have a feeling there will soon be a master thread in Everything Else for pointless college protests. These will proliferate like mad, and begin to make college campuses wobble and come apart like an Iranian centrifuge after Stuxnet got through with it.

Not on here much anymore. I'm either out on 2 wheels or trying to kill something.
Maybe an idea would be for the forum to have a "SJW in action" type subforum so these SJW posts don't take up so much of the Everything Else section. Just my thoughts anyway.

A fresh clip of a strong, independent female femisplaining the mathematics behind providing everyone with a free soviet education. This plump Komradette, organizer for the million useful idiot March, in a secret meeting, disclosed her Tinder profile:

It just makes me feel all red and warm inside. When do we start killing the Kulaks?
Quote:After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks considered only batraks and bednyaks as true allies of the Soviets and proletariat. Serednyaks were considered unreliable, "hesitating" allies; and kulaks were identified as class enemies because they owned land (later this was expanded to include those who owned livestock; but a middle peasant who did not hire labor and was little engaged in trade, "might yet (if he had a large family) hold three cows and two horses."[8] And there were other measures that indicated kulaks as not being especially prosperous. The average value of goods confiscated from kulaks during the policy of "dekulakization" (раскулачивание) at the beginning of the 1930s was only $90–$210 (170–400 rubles) per household.[3] Both peasants and Soviet officials were often uncertain as to what constituted a kulak. They often used the term to label anyone who had more property than was considered "normal," according to subjective criteria, and personal rivalries played a part in the classification of enemies. Historian Robert Conquest argues:
The land of the landlords had been spontaneously seized by the peasantry in 1917–18. A small class of richer peasants with around fifty to eighty acres had then been expropriated by the Bolsheviks. Thereafter a Marxist conception of class struggle led to an almost totally imaginary class categorization being inflicted in the villages, where peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres more than their neighbors were now being labeled "kulaks," and a class war against them declared.

This is important enough that I hope you had the good sense to make a 2nd account and rep yourself for it.

Quote:Something I’ve noticed over the decades is that depression and other non-psychotic mental troubles are fairly common among college students. And a lot of the hate hoaxes seem to have roots in emotional difficulties that are tied in with romantic disappointments, putting on weight, and flunking classes.
Jackie Coakley’s ever-evolving broken glass gang rape story about Haven Monahan at the U. of Virginia is a good example. She tended to crank up the story as a way to get out of taking finals, and then became a star of her therapy group for rape survivors by inventing outlandish details. Her self-therapy through lying made her something of a feminist star on campus.
Perhaps all this mental travail is inevitable at these ages and colleges don’t play a role one way or another. But has anybody studied, for instance, whether some kinds of college are worse for the mental health of some kinds of kids but not of other kinds? Or is that too touchy for universities to study?
For example, are all students happiest moving away to a four year college immediately upon graduation from high school (as is widely assumed by upper middle class Americans today). Or would some do better first living at home for an extra year or two and attending a local junior college? Is there some way to predict who?
What about affirmative action beneficiaries? Do they tend to thrive at colleges where the average student is smarter? Or do they feel insecure and resentful? Is there some way to predict with a better than random chance who would be happy and who would be sad and out to make other people unhappy too?
It would seem like the moral responsibility of wealthy universities to study this precise question, but off the top of my head, I can’t recall it coming up much.
If only our society had large institutions that could study this subject? Imagine: what if there existed huge organizations — call them, say, “research universities” — that employed professors and grad students skilled in social science research and were attended by thousands of undergraduates who could be conveniently surveyed about whether being there was good for their mental health.
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
Just out of curiosity how would you all handle the situation of that asain photographer? You are standing in one spot and a group of them all come at you and saying that you are in their way and they use their wall to move you.
They are all acting passive aggressive and trying to get a rise out of you on camera to throw the first punch. It's an obvious tactic to lure violence, and we can see that. But how does someone actively defeat that? I wouldn't want to act exactly as he did (which I will admit, he did good by not going nuts or quitting) but what would be something subtle to get them to quit?
About 300 students from the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, Temple, and other colleges in the Philadelphia area joined in a mass protest Thursday, echoing movements around the nation against racial issues at the University of Missouri and Yale University.
"This is what democracy looks like!" some chanted. "Who are we? We are Yale! Who are we? We are Mizzou!"
The larger protest arose from two groups, starting with a much smaller Million Student March at Penn inspired by rallies around the country on economic issues, particularly huge student-loan debt. Those 15 or so students merged with the much larger antiracism protest organized by Students Organized for Unity and Liberation, commonly known as SOUL, a Penn student group.
Protesters marched from their perch in front of a statue of Benjamin Franklin at the heart of Penn's campus to an intersection near 30th Street Station, blocking streets and weaving among cars as they walked. Students sat cross-legged across the road by the train station as speakers from the crowd came forward and voiced their anger, outrage, and sadness.
