It's actually kind of fun to pretend to be liberal/leftist in order to get a good grade -- but it's not easy.

You have to keep finding ways for your brain not to think.

Well, maybe it would help if liberals stop painting conservatives as the spawn of Satan?

If you want to have meaningful debate, you can't start every conversation with the assumption that your opponents are fascist "white supremacists".

If they want to be taken seriously, liberals need to drop the narrative that conservatism is somehow inherently racist.

They've moved beyond that to "whiteness is inherently racist."

That's the first thing white students are taught when they get to college -- usually during orientation.

Like Jews wearing the yellow Star of David in Nazi Germany.

Hitler's biggest beef against the Jews was their "corrupting" privilege and influence.

It seems that history might be about to repeat itself.

Interesting analogy. Note that it ISN'T the right-wing perpetuating this latest incarnation, the 'check your white privilege' mindset.

The trajectory of the Left leads inexorably to one thing -- the destruction of "whiteness" by "any means necessary."

Give it time.

I'd be concerned if I had white kids or grand kids.

Are for real? Do you even read the thread in this very forum? "Conservatives" are busy stopping every debate by calling "liberals" stupid snowflakes, terrorist sympathizers, and various forms of spawn of Satan.

Name calling has no political affiliation.

No one on this thread even bothered to read the article. Too busy stereotyping liberals as "intolerant" and stupid.

All the while complaining that "the left" negatively stereotypes "the right" and makes blanket statements while continuing to do the same thing in that very sentence. Talk about hypocritical.

I'm an individual. A non-statist. I'm conservative...yes...if I had to label.

Many conservative students denounced recent protests against the college tour of the right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos as an attack on free speech.
I have zero problem with protests. I have problems with riots.

You and/or the author are promoting a false narrative.

Milo is regularly protested against. The overwhelmingly majority of the protests are done without breaking the non-aggression principle. There's a ton of footage on his YouTube channel of his protesters doing their thing without violence. Great.

Milo often likes to mock them which makes the clips hysterical. Words are not violent though.

A riot is against the non-aggression principle.
