Don't worry, I'll hold your hand... I'm here for you.
I'll bet you we could sell these safety pins to people for $5 a pin and make big money off it, haha
I don't understand the concept of this safety pin? Am I missing something? *scratch head*

That's just a silly article. BOTH extremist sides incite discrimination and violence against each other.....
Normal Democrats and Republicans don't do that shit.

This.
I can't help but draw some parallels between some of the brainwashing/fanaticism going on today and some of the oppressive societies of the past.
The only real difference in things happening today and what happened in some totalitarian societies is that the Government persecution has been replaced by social oppression fueled by the media, both social and professional.
Americans can no longer honestly speak their minds without social castigation or outright ruin. We are on a dangerous path.
The uber-liberals hysterical reaction to any perceived slight or social "crime" is downright scary.
Members of the movement that preaches "acceptance and tolerance" are boycotting, protesting and threatening anyone who does not agree with their point of view. People lose their jobs, their homes and sometimes are threatened and stalked by lunatics because of exaggerated reports, viral videos or FB posts made in a moment of weakness or poor judgement.
The loonies scream, point, threaten and persecute anyone and everyone as an "intolerant hater" and don't even seethe irony in their actions.

Thanks.
I'm truly creeped out.
My middle school daughter has been coming home lately using some psycho-babble nonsense about bullying.
I've been forced to have long conversations with her about the REAL difference between a kid that kicks your ass and takes your lunch money versus someone who says or does something you don't like.
They are being strongly encouraged to inform on their classmates whom they suspect are "bullying" other students, proof or no proof. They are essentially being coached to be hyper-sensitive.
The definitions the "counselors/Commissars" use to define "bully" are VERY broad.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but a lot of what they are being taught about "societal norms" is spooky.
This along with some other terms she's been using and stories I hear make me jumpier than an frog in a frying pan.

I'm glad you take the time to explain it to her though. I've had this conversation with my wife and told her that I'm probably going to have to "un-teach" a good majority of the stuff that our daughters teachers end up teaching them in school (when they're old enough).
I'm sick of this hypersensitive culture of whiners and cry babies, and I don't want our kids to grow up like that. That's not all though, I have been reading a lot of about teachers in school who push and teach their own political agenda, and their own views. If my daughter comes home one day from school and tells me that her teacher was doing something like that, I'm going to flip, I swear.
The other day I read in the news that some teacher was teaching her middle school kids about white privilege and why white people should be ashamed (note that the teacher was white herself). If that crap ever happens I'm going to have a word directly with the teacher. They need to leave their personal agenda and politics at the door.
Exactly, which goes back to previous posts about totalitarian societies and their...um...indoctrination techniques.
I dread when they start college.
Funny, but scary too:

While I'm always a little skeptical to believe the media fully, there is a lot of truth to that article, and I've seen it first hand.
I know several guys who are still in college (including a close friend of mine), and he always tells me about how the politics they push at his college seem like they're aimed at making men into sissies. I'm not trying to judge, but some of the things he's told me just further reiterate what that article is saying.
I wouldn't say it's an epidemic (unless you're in a major city or some yuppy college), but it is rather alarming when you witness it first hand.
