Sexism is not a political issue? since when? also the point is the same controversial speakers regardless of where they lean are too much a security risk for universities. The narrative that the right are victims is just delusional, colleges don't make money from these events they are not going to spent a penny more than they have to.

Why are you limiting the extreme to the Republican party? Do you not see the left has it's extreme branch as well? Doesn't places like Evergreen College show what happens when the SJW cultural is allowed to run unchecked? Haidt has some pretty interesting work talking about the problems on both sides. He also talks about why both sides need each other. Granted he is talking about liberal and conservative and less about American Democrat vs Republican
america's use and fascination of "liberal = left wing" is a bastardisation of the word and really damn infuriating, and i wish americans would understand the words they use. a liberal is someone who is open to new ideas, but typically they are fiscally conservative as the "best economic policy" is typically fiscal conservatism. the left wing, on the other hand, is literally defined: "the radical, reforming, or socialist section of a political party or system." for what it's worth, the democratic party in the US is NOT left wing. it's centre-right.
please use the right words. really, it's not difficult.
She is literally just spewing shit, so she can play the victim card when people react to it. The more people flame her on twitter, the more she can cash out the victim $$$.
Anyone that thinks she is actually as stupid as she seems in her videos are getting fooled.
Still not okay to send her threats tho.
Your comparison would be valid if SJWs had any political power in the government. They don't. The Democrat political leaders are in no way, shape or form representative of SJW culture, lest of all "Evergreen College" levels of it.
Those in power in the GOP, in comparison, are every bit the political and ideological extremists that is represented by the extreme right-wing. FFS, their president and political leader is an outspoken Brietbart swilling, InfoWars chugging conspiracy theorist. The GOPs extremist policies and goals in recent years have been laid bare and transparent.
In relation to what this thread is about, I don't know that a group needs to have current political power to be an example of what happens when things run unchecked. It still cost innocent people their jobs and affected other people in negative ways for what seems like pretty silly reasons. Both extremes can be used as a reason to say "And this why is you don't won't those type of people in power"
Point taken, however individual instances of mob-mentality causing problems for people at a societal level doesn't concern me so much as political leaders who blatantly disregard the will of the people in order to pander to lobbyists with overstuffed pocketbooks.
On a societal level, yes, SJW culture is caustic and has the very real ability to be destructive to people's lives. However, I would counter by saying that it's not nearly to the degree of conservative ideology. Losing your job because you say terribly bigoted things or treat women like objects isn't comparable to losing your livelihood or even your life because you have the wrong skin color, because you love someone of the same sex, because you have gender dysphoria, because you contracted HIV (after little to no sex ed, or being told that straight people can't get it), because yet another crazy person was able to buy an AR-15, or because you were forced to carry a problematic pregnancy to term after abortions were banned.
Saying that either extreme is bad is correct up until a point. That point being where one extreme wants to see your life ruined for propagating attitudes and behaviors that ruin the lives of others, while the other literally just wants you dead. It's due to those reasons that you end up with places like Evergreen College, and end up with college campuses where conservative students are shunned, and conservative shit-slingers like Milo cause forceful counter-protests.
It's worth pointing out that Justin was joking with that comment.
He edges on the SJW side sometimes, but that's not a particularly good example of it.
