The deplorable state of America’s college campuses, overrun by intolerant, censorship happy cry bullies, has been a key topic of discussion here at Liberty Blitzkrieg as of late.
The following video is an excellent lecture on the topic by Jonathan Haidt, Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Take the 30 minutes in between mouthfuls of turkey and share with your families.

How come I never see any of these protesting pussies at truck stops ? I would love to have some fun with these youngsters. It’s not fair.
bb…Truck Stops are not on their ‘Safe Zone’ list.
Professor Haidt was my Psychology 101 professor while I was at the University of Virginia. He was an excellent lecturer and I worked in his undergraduate lab the following semester, measuring gratitude in the field of positive psychology. I’ll never forget the day a student’s cell phone rang repeatedly in class. This was 2002 so it wasn’t as common as it might be now. Anyway, Professor Haidt stopped class (with 300+ people in the auditorium, mind you) and said he would not continue until the person who’s phone rang stood up. Sheepishly, a young girl stood up and he asked her to apologize to the entire class for interrupting his lecture. It never happened again. He’s a heck of a guy. He even had all his lab students over to his house for dinner at the end of the year to honor their commitment. So proud to see him on TBP.
I would like to see them confront KQQZ’s Bob Romanik, The Grim Reaper of Radio. I am dumbfounded that the PC thought police haven’t shut him down because he is “an equal opportunity offender.”
What will this country do if these Eloi are ever drafted for war?
I made it all the way to 1:24. I can’t watch him wearing that mike like that, where is the wardrobe guy?
I read somewhere that opinionated assholes make good comedians and college professors. I never had the talent to be either.
Here another bitch: Has no one in this century come to the same conclusion as Boethius and Marcus? I’m sure that Cervantes’ “Patience and cut the cards” would have made a fitting quote. But then the article would not have the same gravitas.
Life is hard. Harder if you are stupid. They can go fuck themselves.
“Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.”
― Boethius
This almost perfectly describes the frame of mind I would take on when doing miserable work like digging in hard ground or any other menial job that had to be done while working in construction. It really does come down to mind over matter.
Prepare for either outright tyranny or mass suicides/shootings when these precious and delicate snow flakes get out into the real world. I’d love to see a few of them start businesses that employ only these type of snow flakes.
“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” – Hamlet
EC, you an opinionated asshole? Nawwwwww.
One of the recent highlights of the religion of victim hood that I’ve noticed is the foodie’s guide to avoiding cultural appropriation on the everyday feminist blog which I’ve found is good for a laugh if you can get past the fact that however bad you think this nonsense is, the reality is worse. There’s a new privileged class as well, the “able” privileged. If you were born with a fully functioning mind and body you are of course an oppressor of the disabled. I’m not making this up and couldn’t if I tried. I’m surprised they haven’t turned on their own yet and cast out TG types like Jenner for being gender appropriators.
