I look at it this way: Liberals feel their sense of safety and belonging is being attacked, and they're directed toward counseling to calm them down. Sounds silly but if it keeps them from going off the deep end, then great.

Conservatives feel their sense of safety and belonging is being attacked, and they join the neo-Nazis or white Nationalists, start marching with torches and weapons and chanting anti-semetic slogans, and they elect the single most incompetent president in the modern era.

Maybe the conservatives could use some counseling, too.

Anyone who needs counseling because their feelings might be hurt due to a contrary speaker is a fucking baby and has some serious mental issues.

Even if everything the speaker says is hate filled drivel, you should not need counseling for something so pathetic.

It's really embarrassing how the left tries to turn the whole "special snowflake" and "safe space" thing around on the right to the point of using it more than they do, despite it still applying so much more to left leaners, particularly on college campuses. They like to pin it on Christian conservatives and such for basically every little thing, but then you have stuff like this on the left where people are actually psychologically damaged by opposing views. The left has literal safe spaces. This didn't arise from some generic exaggerative insult, it is an actual thing. And they are embarrassed enough by it to desperately paint it as a bipartisan extreme.

Most of the country doesn't support censorship, actually.

Or socialism.

Ben Shapiro isn't alt-right. In fact, he was one of the most targeted people by alt-right vitriol last year for his criticism of them and Trump. He's been called anti-Semitic slurs by the alt-right thousands of times online.

Ben is anti-Trump and anti-Milo. I feel like if the general UC Berkley populace knew that they'd be far more welcoming. All this fear-mongering is based on a complete lack of information about the actual person. All they hear is "right-wing speaker" and are acting like Joseph Mengele in coming in to argue for eugenics.

If the "counseling" will keep the left extremists from getting violent, then so be it.

But don't tell me someone that actually requires counseling for some words a speaker says isn't damaged...

Oh so now major news networks matter?

The logic is that you are silly because you are a hypocrite. You'll spin and downplay literally everything that Trump and the Republican government do (Don't But Obama. I don't care about Obama), and criticize the media and people for reacting negatively. You know, because SJWs getting upset by a speaker at their school is a bigger issue than the operation of our government. Look at those liberal priorities you got there.

Counciling


Mal is so triggered by TEL IBURSLS that he can't think straight, it isn't his fault. which is ironic, considering how much he criticizes his opponents for not being able to tolerate opinions that differ from their own. and he spends countless hours of his free time compiling those dropbox montages about TEH LIBRUSLS who disagree with him.
