Strawberry Generation

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., December 7, 2015—Colorado College has suspended and banned a student from campus for nearly two years in response to a comment intended as a joke on the anonymous social media application Yik Yak.

In November 2015, Thaddeus Pryor sent an anonymous reply to the comment “#blackwomenmatter” on Yik Yak. Pryor’s response read, “They matter, they’re just not hot.” On November 20, Colorado College found that Pryor’s post violated its “Abusive Behavior” and “Disruption of College Activities” policies and suspended him from the college until August 28, 2017. In the meantime, the college has banned Pryor from setting foot on campus and has forbidden him from taking classes at other institutions for academic credit. Pryor has appealed his suspension.

It's definitely not funny. A friend sent the article to me and I had to share it.

You know the problem is that progressives have hidden among liberals like wolves among sheep. If you try to attack the progressives the whole leftist pack thinks you're attacking all of them rather than the ones deserving, causing liberals to defend the progressives despite the fact that the two have drastically differing ideologies.

We can complain about this retardation all we want, but the progressive ******** will never go away until the liberals cast out their traitors like the garbage that they are. Mistaken liberals defending progressives is the only reason this has any traction, and it's a big problem because important people are liberals and this affects more than just the left.

Purge when?

its not that liberals defend progressives but that non liberals dont see the progressives as different from liberals despite the vastly different ideology, as a result so often when someone is criticising progressives they dont say progressive but they say liberal, which causes us actual liberals to take offense and try and defend ourselves and point out that progressives are not liberals but a different ideology, but so often the case is that people just dont accept that. we know progressives are a blight, its the rest who cant seem to tell we are not them

You aren't wrong, that is definitely a part of it. But the mistake is made because, despite the fact that progressives are actually mentally deficient, they still lie on the same general range of the political spectrum.

Conservatives want less government, liberals want more. That's been a thing for pretty much the duration of America's history. Progressives, on the other hand, want only government regulation and enforcement. They are so far left they are almost right. Drastically different from standard liberals, which is something I can tell the difference between and I'm sure plenty can, but understandably not everyone will due to the fact that both ideologies are still on the left. SJWs are the left equivalent to the Tea Party, back when that was a thing. Only the Tea Party died out because conservatives were quick to punk them off, liberals haven't been very quick in getting rid of SJWs. They've kinda been enabling them more than anything, despite the fact a progressive world would be hated by any upstanding liberal.

yeah thats true, i think its largely that the tea party was mostly older people while neo-progressives tend to be younger, so older generations are a little more forgiving and leniant with the retarded cunts

That's actually a good point. The progressives have the youth advantage, putting the whole "new generation/times are changing" thing in the forefront as a justification. I never thought of that.

That doesn't excuse it, of course. Newer doesn't mean better, but I guess critical thought is scarce in the upper divisions of academia and business these days. You have older liberals who are running these things, they see the progressive ******** and think it is ******** , but they question themselves and start to think that perhaps they are the outdated ones and the new kids are in the right, and thus gives them free reign based on blind faith.

I'd like to say that maybe someday this problem will sort itself out, but if it was going to that day would've already come. Some kind of action needs to be taken or else all of use are going to be calling each other "xe" and suffer criminal punishment simply for having a higher "privilege" score than others.

Churchill appeased Hitler in the waxing days leading up to WWII, and that didn't work out very well for anyone did it? Why are we appeasing SJWs then? Appeasement doesn't work on small children, it doesn't work on political leaders, and it doesn't work on anybody.

Enforce this. Go ahead, just try.

Here's a hint. They can't. And if this kid ever learns anything, it should be that they can't tell him what to do with his next 2 years.

It means the credits won't transfer if he goes back to that college again in 2 years. Like he ever would come back.

It must be a dumb as **** school. Let me explain why.

The language used suggests that they'll try to say "you can never go to any school, other than this one, for the next two years."

If they had used the proper terms, it would have come out the way you had suggested.
