theblackw0lf posted:Hard to say. CKs bit about not calling intellectually challenged people “retarded” any more is similar to a Carlin bit on euphemisms. And I also think Carlin would have had issues with people being able to define what personal pronoun should be used when speaking to them. George Carlin had a bit about how, when dealing with people individually, he was willing to call them whatever they preferred to be called. And in the same bit, he says: quote:I'm more interested in the real victims. People who have been hosed over by the system. Because the United States is a Christian racist nation with a rigged economic system run for three hundred years by the least morally qualified of the two sexes, there were bound to be some real victims. People who have been elaborately hosed over. While it's safe to say that he's used some unapologetically un-PC language, I think he was "woke" enough even before our Extremely Online world that he could at least be reasoned with, even if some people would criticize him for what he said.

JONATHAN HAIDT & SCOTT GALLOWAY were on a really interesting podcast yesterday. Would recommend you guys to hear. Haidt is the author of the Codling of the American Mind which was an amazing book, it started from this article which some may find interesting here. In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don’t like. Here’s why that’s disastrous for education—and mental health. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/399356/ Here is the Spotify link to the podcast. https://open.spotify.com/episode/00htzHZ9SqlTvyAGCQamMO?si=kRMLcoplRnWDCYfjsSUpIg e: Here is an article that explains: https://www.recode.net/podcasts/2019/1/11/18178800/jonathan-haidt-coddling-american-mind-book-nyu-scott-galloway-pivot-podcast quote:On the latest episode of Pivot, NYU’s Scott Galloway spoke to his colleague from the Stern School of Business, Jonathan Haidt, the co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind.

This is exactly why he probably won't do it. Trump doesn't really care about the wall, but he LOVES the government being shut down.

Radish posted:https://twitter.com/Slate/status/1083919042539388928?s=19 Democrats don't want him to declare an emergency (and this story is sourced to one dumb quote by an aide) it's just growing increasingly obvious it's the only plausible scenario for how this ends. The Democrats aren't even really involved in the negotiations anymore it's just Republicans trying to develop a bargaining position with Trump and he's only offering them poo poo like "What if we painted the wall blue?" The next Democratic President will almost certainly have to declare an emergency to deal with climate change, so at least the precedent can be abused for good.

If I was to go off of this excerpt i'd have to say that this was loving stupid. There's a difference between "coddling someone" and saying "Get the gently caress out, you bigoted bastard." to someone who discriminates on the basis of orientation, birth, skin color, etc, etc. There's nothing coddled about that. Calling it coddling is just a new way of claiming the whole logical fallacy of "Well, maybe your intolerance of my intolerance makes you the bad guy, hm?" thing that bigots foolishly try to hide behind when they get called on their poo poo. Unless you're going to a place like Liberty U you aren't going to get in trouble for pointing out issues of discrimination. You will however get called out for being an rear end in a top hat to someone based on them being a minority or disadvantaged in some way.

DynamicSloth posted:The next Democratic President will almost certainly have to declare an emergency to deal with climate change, so at least the precedent can be abused for good. If this happens I am dying for a primary debate question where they point blank ask the candidates whether they would, as President, declare an emergency to raid the military piggy bank to deal with climate change, because anyone who says "No, we must respect the norms and restore normalcy" or anything other than "gently caress yes" can be immediately ridden out on a rail.

Like seriously. This poo poo is actually kind of offensive:quote:Some recent campus actions border on the surreal. In April, at Brandeis University, the Asian American student association sought to raise awareness of microaggressions against Asians through an installation on the steps of an academic hall. The installation gave examples of microaggressions such as “Aren’t you supposed to be good at math?” and “I’m colorblind! I don’t see race.” Yet the writer pretends that someone assuming that all people with visible asian features are secretly humanoid calculators in disguise isn't that big of a deal. And never mind the old standby of "Oh, I can't be racist. I don't see race.". Those are things (The latter thing especially, if you replace race with bigotry as a whole.) minorities see and pretty much everyone inside and outside a given minority knows is a thing that some particularly dickish people think and occasionally even say. I can't blame someone for not wanting to see a display explaining it. Barring an in depth tutorial on how not to be a prejudiced rear end accompanying the display it's just acting as a tutorial to be an rear end itself while making affected people roll their eyes at anyone who suddenly wants to pretend to be woke by the whole thing.

I think you guys are reading this wrong. I see this as Congressional Republicans with their knives out for Trump. Someone figured out it was doomed to be immediately challenged, but it was the only thing Trump had to bluff with so he rolled with it. Congress, generally, is calling the bluff so they can wash their hands of the wall and leave Trump holding the bag. He'll look weak, but the important part of the calculus is that the blame doesn't fall on congressional Republicans.

I thought it was the millennials who were conditioned to be snowflakes in college. Now it's zoomers? When they start talking about how the next generation is doing the same thing, can we all just admit that these people are gross old bigots? Someone else noted that this is basically "you're being intolerant of my intolerance!" But this is dumber than that. Using words like "coddling," they attack their opponents for having emotional attachment to their arguments. This is the same old conservative schtick: launch a million offensive "arguments" at you that question your very humanity and that of your loved ones, and then imply that you're not a rational person because you have an emotional response. U MAD, BRO? The kids take things a bit far, sometimes. I'm sure they'll cringe when looking back on some of it. But when you're in college and you're just learning about this stuff, it's normal for young people to test the boundaries.

I edited it out since I didn't want to risk getting off track. But yeah. This is basically a new (slightly stupider) take on the whole "You're intolerant of my intolerance! Perhaps you are the bad guy in this argument?  " logical fallacy. It's funny because I saw a very similar variant of the same argument this guy is making about a year ago from Greg Gutfeld and the rest of The Five on Fox News hemming and hawing about how college professors had it so bad due to "PC culture" (Read, people not tolerating assholes treating people badly while they were working on the campus.). This, after they spent all that time harping on colleges for daring to tell literal nazis and concern trolls to gently caress off and leave their students alone. It's why I called the author a "Fox News tier reactionary conservative". So depending on the release date I guess he's trying to cash in on that conservative fad a bit late? Edit: As a side-note, I also sometimes wonder if Juan Williams (The token "democrat", who is also the only real minority/the only african american of the Five.) has moments when he realized he's basically become the Uncle Tom of Fox News. Around that time I vaguely recall him trying to tell the other four to gently caress off with their lying disingenuous bullshit before he suddenly remembered just what sort of organization it was he was taking a paycheck from. At which point he reverted back to lame deflections and quietly agreeing with his fellow hosts. Archonex fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Jan 12, 2019 |

I think we'll probably keep hearing about it for another generation at least, since we're already crossing into another one apparently. Especially if we make some big move for affordable college. I can hear the classist dogwhistling now about how in the age of expanded college access, professors are afraid to speak. Tbh that's basically how it already is.
