agreed. I simply cannot pick one side and subsequently "subscribe" to all their beliefs. Because of this, I'm viewed as being indecisive...

I still dont get all this gender fukery tho, gay rights and ethnicity/gender equality makes 100% sense but why in the fuk are we accepting of people (and being told to)accept people who want to change science because it doesnt feel right having something or an absence of something between the legs?
Because politicization is the manipulation of reality. You have people on the right who think that evolution and global climate change are conspiracies. You have people on the left who think there's nothing crazy about a man getting breast implants and calling himself a woman. One is clearly stupider than the other, but they're both denials of reality.

AIDS skrillex is not the face of liberalism at all, but sort of represents the mentality of a lot of young college people; Uninformed, parrots what they hear in their liberal arts classes, can't make a decent argument. He just spouts rhetoric and responds to any reasonable argument against his views with verbal attacks, insults, etc. He uses a language of idealism (It's what we all do to each other.jpg) and holds some black dudes hand as some sort of symbolism, yet I honestly doubt he's friend with any black people.

I think it's the media plus the rate at which things have changed within our lifetime while growing up, social pressure is also an influence imo

People were saying the same thing 50 years ago though. srs It's all cyclic, they always had these 'movements'. But we forget about chit after a few years. Today the internet is a big form of media but back in the day it was more newspapers, TV, music, and radio. But it was still the same basic chit. Most of these people probably changed their views over the years and they'd be in their 60's and 70's now.

Most college professors are people who failed in their respective fields and took a "safe" job with low risk in being a teacher

These types of people hate successful tenacious aggressive people who remind them of the people who beat them out in their fields and got the better higher paying jobs with more prestige

Therefore professors are secretly jealous self loathing people who vilify success and want more money and recognition for putting in less work

Falls in line with regressive left ideologies

Makes it their crusade to squash hunger for success and intellectual bravado in their students

Leads to them shoving regressive left ideas into their students heads





Also as stated idiots believe an idealistic world can be employed and don't understand corruption will always exist
Universities now practically liberal brainwashing factories

This is it. Social media has exacerbated this and cause it to explode. Young people with an idealistic world view can share their infectious thoughts with large numbers of other impressionable young people, CONSTANTLY.

Combine that fact with an increased minority ratio and you have what you see today. SJW training and indoctrination as far as the eye can see with no end in sight.

Can self confirm, formerly liberal teenager.

i dont see anything wrong with teaching kids that they can change the status quo. History is driven by change

Plenty of time post-grad to be given doses of reality anyways

Take a look at U.S. History and World Historyclasses and they tend to beanti-war,anti-slavery, etc. They are more tailored around encouraging world peace and unity rather than division. At least, that's how my history classes were. They took a close look at what led to all the major world conflicts (WW1, WW2, Vietnam War, Cold War, The Crusades, etc). Major theme was: History tends to repeat itself...so how to we (as a society), break the trend?

I should add though that my HS was pretty good at keeping any religious agendas out of the curriculum. I'd argue that the trend in more conservative states is quite different though.
Is that bad lol?

Will you fukk off with your teacher argument already?

I'm a teacher and I don't consider myself liberal nor do I indocrinate my students. Yes history classes portray wars, slavery etc as evil... no ****, do you expect them to say otherwise?

Because, with the exception of a few degrees, college is now something you do to avoid the real world.

Free everything really appeals to that type of crowd.
