The Triggering (how political correctness gone too far?)

[Mr. Purple]

I'm not sure if a person can go too far with being polite and considerate. I would always encourage it. I don't think being considerate of others feelings means you can't offend other people, only that offending others shouldn't be a goal. I don't really like the approach people like Milo and Dawkins uses because it's purposefully trying to be rude in many cases. Their ideas won't be as effective to people who have different worldviews, and it only serves to make the people who already agree with that viewpoint more obnoxious and dogmatic. It's a different story if you're more interested in being a troll or comedian than an educator like milo and steven may be though.

BLM and the protesters in the video are also being extremely rude and much worse, they are being intellectually dishonest. People who are confident in their position have no need to silence dissenting opinions.

If we are defining political correctness differently to being considerate and trying not to be rude, then maybe what i said doesn't apply, but to me they seem to be very similar.

What did you like about the panel? It was certainly entertaining, but the protestors and rigid structure made it impossible for any discussion to happen. Plus, it was mostly short lectures by Milo and Hoff. I don't think Steven really make any valuable contributions.

Do you think it will become worthwhile to vote Republican to prevent these issues?

What issues?

I agree that political correctness has gone too far in some ways, but I don't think it's anything significant enough to outweigh all of the dishonest and dangerous policies republicans support, particularly with climate change.

I can understand being a one-issue voter with certain things, but being a one-issue voter on political correctness is IMO pretty ridiculous. It's voting based on some petty social issues- kind of like voting based on whether or not a candidate supports legalizing marijuana.

Also, political correctness has gone too far in certain aspects, but the anti-PC people often discredit themselves as well and reveal that they don't really care about freedom, but are just bigots. Take Trump and his supporters, for example.
About this protest specifically, look at the comments on a video of the protests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1H1rZL53I
Half the comments are about the weight of one of the protesters, and some have over 100 likes. Some are even anti-Semitic.

"Wow look at her size I mean how fat can you get before your body just, gives up??"
"The fat got to her head and made her retarded"
"One of the oldest questions in human history has finally been answered - we now know who ate all the pies."
"She is so god damned fat she can barely speak."
"i mean she miss gendered the fat one shes not a lady shes a whale"
"She looks like Peter Griffin"
"She looks like two Peter Griffins."
"Jesus, give Snorlax a fucking cheeseburger already before it starts flapping those fat flaps and flying into people."
"That fat lady is cool, she reminds me of a big baby, I wanna squeeze her cheeks"
"fat jew being a fat jew"
"when did humpback whales start walking on the land"
"You gonna throw yourself on that big fat sweaty grenade of inhumanity?&; Do it. Take one for the team... I'd do it for you. OK, that's a lie, I'd do no such thing..... Did you at least thank her for the compliment?"
"I have no doubt it was her. That profile was exposed within an hour of that cows video poppin up online. Ya dodged a bullet, man! "
"That bitch ain't exercising anything at all."
"Did the land whale make it back to her safe space or did she die from a heart attack on the way?"
"Please don't tell me that thing goes to college. Please, America."
"I bet she masturbates to a cookbook."
"Quick someone play the Poké Flute for the Snorlax!"
"you fat horrible bitch. i dont feel bad at all about your pathetic, unproductive, non contribution to society and you will die early due to obesity." (42 likes)
"that was actually liquid cheeseburger she drank" (nearly 150 likes)
"We've got it good folks. We can watch without the smell. Just imagine the aroma in the room around this slob." (75 likes)

Of course, people are extra-disgusting on the Internet. It still says a lot, though.

What issues?

Issues like freedom of speech and intersectionalism in education.

Where are the democratic politicians trying to get rid of freedom of speech?

What do you mean by 'inter-sectionalism in education'? What is that, and what does that have to do with politics?

[EquALLity]

It's kind of an open question. Sanders was pushing this stuff, and I think it might have been worth it to vote against him on those grounds (although I more opposed him on grounds of his anti-science positions on Nuclear power, GMO technology, and medicine), I'm not sure if Hillary does.

Pushing what stuff? What does he have to do with college protests?

What, do you take issue with that he agrees with some protesters on some issues? Why is that relevant?

Here's another good video, this one is just Milo:

I recommend watching all of it to get a sense of what he's about.

But if you can't, skip toward the end, where he has a very reasonable conversation with a liberal Muslim (she makes some good points, and he recognizes that and thanks her for being sensible), and then a BLM protester start shouting and demands to have the mic.

The questions I asked don't make any sense. Thank you for showing me that below.

I suppose it's not the politicians, but rather, the democrats themselves. Sorry.

What do you mean by 'inter-sectionalism in education'? What is that, and what does that have to do with politics?

Courses like "Gender Studies" and it has nothing to do with politics.

He's been pandering to the regressive left on this stuff, which is very concerning.

What does that mean exactly? On what stuff? And how would it impact his policy in a significant enough way to vote republican?

I think he made claims about institutionalized racism, didn't he? Hillary has been doing this with college "rape culture" too, citing (IIRC) the very slanted fear monger statistics of one in four (don't take my word for it, I've only seen these in passing and didn't look into it).

This isn't as big as nuclear power or GMO issues, but it is something. In particular, we may see that the regressive left hands Trump this election on a silver platter (if he's smart enough to call this out in the general, which I think he is -- it doesn't take a political genius).

I'm waiting for the general to learn more. As I said before, Hillary almost certainly has my support anyway. I know she has issues, but overall her policies are probably going to be better than Trump's protectionism.
