Our descent into the abyss accelerates.

[Middle Age Russ]

Education in the US was co-opted long ago by the Collectivists. We are simply seeing the fruit of their labors. The old communist blueprint of the long struggle to take over all humanity involved first insinuating themselves into and then taking over education so that future generation would know only THEIR version of "truth", taking over the media so that only THEIR version of "truth" reached the senses of the masses, and only then taking over governments after the masses demanded THEIR version of hope and change. If we haven't arrived yet, THEIR destination is clearly in sight. God help us.

Some people ridicule these students as “snowflakes” unable to stand up to the slightest discomfiting words or images. But it is far worse than that. These so-called “snowflakes” are the potential shock troops of the aforementioned Red Guard, American style. There is a fine line between the extreme entitlement that demands to be warned before reading Ovid’s Metamorphoses (as happened recently at Columbia) and a kind of narcissistic rage acting out against any presumed enemy in its path. How do you think the CR actually happened in China? Yes, the country was significantly poorer, but the psychological evolution was strikingly similar.

Associated possibly insightful comment from a 60s leftist radical:

Bill Quick
Roger, I don't think it could happen here. Like you, I was a radical leftist back in the Sixties, an active protester, a member of the Weather Underground, a campaigner for the Peace and Freedom party, a supporter of the Black Panthers and the "Up Against the Wall MOFO" revolution. (Remember who we were going to put up against that wall *first*? Yeah. The "liberals.")

And I carried a gun and probably would have used it, given sufficient revolutionary provocation. It was an easier thing to do in those days - no fed bureaucracy, no checks, you just walked in, bought what you wanted, and stuck it in your pocket or your backpack.

We didn't shrink from violence in those days, especially the Panthers and their inspiration, the Maoists of the PLP. We didn't whine for "safe spaces." We intended to destroy safety everywhere, even for ourselves. Our heroes were Che - and we knew exactly what he was - and Mao "power comes from the barrel of a gun" - Ze Dong.

We would have viewed these current wannabe iterations of us with laughter and contempt.

Their "revolution" will never extend much beyond their ludicrous campus safe spaces. Because if it did, they'd have to risk their own precious skins on the firing line. And momma didn't raise them that way.

Somewhere - maybe here at PJM - I read something to the effect that none of today's kids have ever fixed a car, hunted, fished, fired a gun, hitchhiked, or done anything even remotely risky without being swaddled in safety gear. They'd be horrified at the notion of driving a car with their seat belt unfastened.

There is surely more to come; students everywhere will want to be part of the insurrection, and will try to become the “new Mizzou.” University administrators and directors have no stomach for a fight they already abandoned years ago, and so the violence, both physical and rhetorical, will escalate. Eventually lives will be lost, as in the attack on a laboratory at the University of Wisconsin in the late sixties. At that point, the pendulum will swing away from revolution, and some semblance of order will be imposed.

Associated insightful comment:

Limbaugh got it right: The radical students are rising because it is an election year, and the Democrats are worried that they will lose the White House if they don't get a BIG turnout from their base: blacks and the young. The President of the United States and head of the Democratic Party is a professional community organizer, so that is what the party now does better than anything else (and how!). The community organizers are organizing the communities. The cadres that were trained in the seminars and workshops of the "occupy movement" are now being activated. This is not a student movement, it is a putsch.

Recall that red-haired Mizzou professor lady calling for "some muscle over here", to intimidate the campus reporter.
How many disenfranchised people can be manipulated to provide "muscle" for these Microagrresive Revolutionaries?
The number is certainly greater than zero.... but is it enough to cause real disturbance?

it is a putsch.

had to look that one up.. Thanks for the word-of-the-day today...

I posted that as a possibility but I'm not convinced either. The entire agenda of the left requires "muscle" of one kind or another to impose it. Clearly, they're hoping to use the muscle of the State for that imposition but I don't think they'll hesitate to exploit other sources if it serves them. It is possible though that the students themselves will require direction by someone in authority to make that happen...like this "professor."

After all, they can't handle snarky comments and Halloween costumes without an authority figure substitute for mommy and daddy. This generation of American college students is surely the most dependent, enfeebled, and helpless generation of youth to ever exist on this planet. Without an authority figure in charge the muscle would soon be running their show, making them irrelevant. Unfortunately, Limbaugh may be right, and these precious snowflakes may simply be the useful idiot proxies of the leftist political class.

Mark Schierbecker, the Mizzou student behind the video catching the University of Missouri’s communications professor Melissa Click calling for pushback against the media, preventing the protest from being covered, filed charges against her with the University of Missouri police department.

Go get her!

I saw that interview and laughed so hard I almost cried. She couldn't come up with an answer that won't embarrass her. I really hope this is not the first image people think of when they think about college students. Not all of us are that dumb and lack common sense.
I'm a sophomore in college,I'm president of our student government, and I'm still conservative!!!!

I do have to work with a BUNCH of liberal professors though, and some of their assignments really make me mad.

Conservative and proud!!!

Thank God for you....based on my son's experiences I'm just afraid there are too few of you.

I graduated from TCU in 2010. I only had a couple of liberal professors. I embarrassed one pretty badly. She would have these "thought provoking questions" that were nothing more than liberal platitudes and when I would not answer the questions, but refute the false premise in the question, she would get mad at me. She once cornered me in class and demanded that I answer why I would not go along with the premise for the sake of discussion. I challenged her that if I asked her a question along the lines of how her questions were worded, and she answered it, then I would play along... but if she didn't answer my leading question, then I would not answer hers. She agreed. So I asked:

Women are not as smart as men, please detail several reasons why this is true? She, of course, refused to provide reasons why. She had no idea that her assumptions were insanely liberal. To her, she was "normal".

I made it through, and I am more Conservative than even Rush Limbaugh.

Black Lives Matter and Mizzou protesters responded to the murder of scores of people in Paris at the hands of Islamic extremists by complaining about losing the spotlight and saying their “struggles” were being “erased.” Their struggles, remember, consist of a poop swastika of unknown provenance and unsubstantiated claims of racially-charged remarks somewhere near Missouri’s campus.

My goodness, what a grotesque human being, inside and out.

By the way, if you think that College endocrination is bad, how about little High School policing a la Banana republic style (maybe they disinterred Lenin ) as seen here:

"A new FBI initiative based on Britain’s “anti-terror” mass surveillance program instructs high schools across America to inform on students who express “anti-government” and “anarchist” political beliefs."

But to average Joe/Jane none of this matters. As long as the music plays, circus will continue.
