National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[Blizzard]

As a grad, I've been paying attention to this story. Apparently it started as a troll thing from the right, and then a bunch of leftists were like "That's a great idea!" and it's been snowballing.

It's silly, and it's extreme, but given Yale's history of caving in to pretty much anything that runs afoul of its woke warrior undergrads and alumni donors, anything is possible.

Movement To Rename Yale University Goes Viral On Twitter After It Is Revealed The Founder Was A Slave Trader

Sadly, "the anything is possible" comment is all too true these days; there is nothing too absurd or out of bounds. That's the unsettling part of it all...and no one is willing to take a stand/push back.

Many Universities coddle students so much that this was always bound to occur. I’m all for trashing Nathan Bedford Forest and other bullshit Confederate shrines but the idea of destroying all object that are deemed offensive is an excuse for petty violence and turning us into Mao’s America.

Yale decided that the title "master" for the heads of all of its internal colleges was "problematic," because, you know, racism. And instead of putting their foot down and saying "that's silly," Yale caved. Decisions on Residential College Names and “Master” Title

I suspect the Yale name will continue, there is too much money and prestige at stake. However, I predict that Yale will throw a WHOLE bunch of money at this problem, probably hire a bunch of "diverse" faculty and create programs and spaces that are exclusively for use by persons of color.

Will they continue to offer Masters degree programs?

It's honestly so absurd that I can't even argue against because it feels like the argument you'd have with a 5 year old. We've somehow reached a point where I cannot discern a "real" news article from that of a satire/parody source. How ridiculous is that?!

Small bit of personal trivia: my best friend growing up, I roomed with him in college for four years, he was the best man in my wedding, his last name is Forrest. Yes, there's a very direct connection. And no, he's nothing like his great great whatever.

How?

I'll bite.

Cultural fixes for black culture
1.) De-normalize ghetto culture.
2.) Stop the deification of the worst elements of those communities.
- sports ballers, gangsters, and rappers are shit role models
3.) Emphasize nuclear families and education.
4.) Target and shut down race baiters that profit of racial division.

Fixes for Cultural Marxism
1.) Start defunding these losers.
2.) Strip away non-profit status from organizations that push Marxism.
3.) Fire/replace Marxists and useful idiots in education, media, and govt.
4.) Declare orgs like Antifa DTO's. Target their revenue streams and leadership.
5.) Use social media to showcase the human cost of Marxism. There should still be people who survived the gulags, killing fields, etc.
6.) Stop treating Marxists with kid gloves. If they're gonna riot, burn, and kill, weapons should be free. If they wanna play by big boy rules that's on them.

Ok, good to go. Now what are your critiques for handling the negative aspects of Rightwing politics/media. Also, what should we do about the class divide in America?

I'm guessing there may've been a lot damaged birds nests and street lights in that "shootout"...

I would add getting more conservatives into academia and the arts. It’s too heavily left leaning in those areas and we need a balance otherwise it’ll be rinse and repeat

Right wing fixes for me are Go after the White nationalists harder ease up on immigration and come up with better economic plans especially for Healthcare

 

[Infinitejest12]

Same. What do you mean by ease up on immigration though? That‘s a pretty big topic for a lot of the middle class.

 

[R.Caerbannog]

@Jaknight Why bring up conservatives? They're not the useful idiots burning down cities, murdering folks, etc; all over some dead dirtbag. This is all the radical lefts doing.

People don't think Marxism be like it is, but it do.

 

[Florida173]

I don't envy having to deal with these people. Talk about a complete melt down.

Ew, this reminds me of when I was 15 and we ran around the neighborhoods at night with airsoft guns...really bad tactics.

Figured Doge summed up the insanity of that situation.

You do understand this is the one group that we go after all the time?

I think while the left has become more extreme the right has some things to work on as well.
