The unintentionally funny anguish of a distraught feminist Hillary voter

It was clearly unintended when a young feminist’s anguished existential howl about Hillary’s loss reduced me to helpless laughter.

I found that feminist’s problem: Ivy League.

“I have always been both a strong woman and a good girl. I got straight A’s. I was class president. I went to an Ivy League school and even gave the commencement address, just like Hillary.”

OSU Student Leaks Unbelievable Thing Military Classmates Did During Attack

Ali is a legal permanent U.S. resident who fled Somalia and entered the country as an approved asylum seeker. Somalia is ranked as one of the world’s most dangerous countries, coming in just after Syria, South Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The Sharia nation also boasts a 99.8-percent Muslim population, which accounts for the country’s many deadly terrorist attacks, political oppression, and barbaric religious practices.

Emphasis added. This is Obama’s fault.

Progressives have mounted a dangerous attack on American democracy

The EC was intended to serve two purposes: (1) To remove mobs from directly electing the president (and we can see with Progressives how out of control and damn stupid mobs can be); and (2) to ensure that more populous states do not entirely remove the less populous states from the election process.

Who Voted For Donald Trump Anyway? | American Elephants

The list of people whose lives and occupations have been directly affected by blundering, backward, progressive ideas is long and growing, and not really accurately described by terms such as “the deplorables” or “uneducated white working class.” The media is inclined to latch on to convenient catch-phrases, shorthand for people of whom they disapprove, add in political correctness and a goodly supply of empathy to show how caring they are, and you have our current journalism.

I don’t call what happens in colleges and universities ‘education’. At best it is overpriced job training, most of which would be better and more cheaply done through apprenticeships. Liberals ran the education out of the education establishment back in the 1960s.

Former Sanders Spokeswoman: “We Don’t Need White People Leading The Democratic Party” | Video | RealClearPolitics

“In my opinion we don’t need white people leading the Democratic party right now,” Sanders said. “The Democratic party is diverse, …”

‘Diverse’ is just a synonym for ‘racist’ now.

Cognitive behavioral therapy tries to teach people to short-circuit/disrupt/desensitize that triggering circumstance until it no longer triggers them (or at least triggers them less) and thus they keep the cascade of bad brain chemicals from gushing too much.

Lukianov’s amazing insight was that just as cognitive behavioral techniques could be used to desensitize someone to an emotional trigger, so could an evil form of the techniques be used to hypersenisitize someone to an emotional trigger.

What you’re seeing on college campuses, on social media, and in society generally is the triumph of these evil forms of malevolent cognitive behavioral conditioning to encourage people not to keep their wits about them and stand strong in the face of adversity, but to collapse into a twitchy puddle of panic and mental disarray if they so much as see a word they don’t like.

And thus colleges which once produced some of the boys who stormed Normandy are now producing Adult Babies who need Play-Doh recovery rooms if they hear that American Sniper is being screened at the rec center.

How Trigger Warnings Are Hurting Mental Health on Campus – The Atlantic

Childhood itself has changed greatly during the past generation. Many Baby Boomers and Gen Xers can remember riding their bicycles around their hometowns, unchaperoned by adults, by the time they were 8 or 9 years old. In the hours after school, kids were expected to occupy themselves, getting into minor scrapes and learning from their experiences. But “free range” childhood became less common in the 1980s.
