Wellesley College Students: ‘Hostility’ Is Warranted Against People Who Say Anything Offensive

The editorial staff of Wellesley College’s student newspaper recently wrote that anyone who dares utter a politically incorrect thought should be met with “hostility.”
***
We have all said problematic claims,” the editorial reads. “Luckily most of us have been taught by our peers and mentors at Wellesley in a productive way.”

If that doesn’t sound like it was ripped from a dystopian novel, what comes next is truly Orwellian: “If people are given the resources to learn and either continue to speak hate speech or refuse to adapt their beliefs, then hostility may be warranted.” In other words, if you say things some people find offensive, then there will be physical consequences.

Sounds like college's are creating graduates that are incapable of thinking for themselves or are now forbidden to do so.

I remember Glenn Beck saying on a number of occasions, and I am paraphrasing here, that he may completely disagree with what someone says but he would defend to the death their right to say it.

I emphatically agree with his sentiment but unbelievably ignorant statements like this sure don't make it easy.

Free speech is preeminent to being an American.
These people are not Americans.
They are communists

Maybe the Khmer Rouge were onto something.

But commies eventually  eat their own, so maybe not.

FPNI.

Nothing new here, they are just talking about it more openly again.  

But the bottom line is that nothing has changed. Always carry and keep your head on a swivel, and be aware that certain areas of the US should be considered "non-permissive environments", as they say.

Rights are balanced by consequences.

You have a right to say whatever you want. Say it in the wrong place and you may get fucked up for it.

I'm cool with that. I doubt these young scholars have thought it through, though.

Seems like some dumb shit to say. Doesn't seem much smarter to portray a contingent statement as an absolute to more effectively foment anger. But whatever.

I dated a Wellesley girl for a while, hung out there with her and her friends a fair amount.

The ones who weren't lesbians wanted dick, badly. I would get propositioned constantly, groped frequently whenever we were out. It was very good for my ego.

It was also a lesson in what a real man does to women. Lots of them had skinny, poetry reading boyfriends (hipsters, but before hipsters were a thing). I was no muscle bound Marine, but I was a college athlete, and I think half of them would have blown me while their boyfriends whimpered in the corner.

LOL truth.  I had similar experiences hanging out with Ivy League girls who were all doing fellowships in NYC government post graduation.  The "men" in that group were completely emasculated, and the women hated them for it.  Confidence and completely ignoring political correctness had them standing in puddles.

Offensive is a point of view.

So they are saying conservatives can use said force because of thing that are offensive from communists.

Good to know.

Works for me.  They can be hostile, and I can tell them to go fuck themselves.   If they make it physical we'll find out who's better trained, armed, and prepared.

There is a simple solution to this problem. Conservatives just need to start getting offended more often. The left has claimed ownership of victim status and being offended, but it's only that way because we remain silent when they offend us.

So start punching communists in the face whenever they make themselves known. If punching a Nazi in the face is justified because that ideology killed 30m people, then punching a communist in the face is twice as justified because Stalin killed far more (and there was Mao, and Pol Pot, etc.). Somehow communisms has remained relevant--and extremely attractive to young retards--despite it being the worst killer of innocents in history, wherever it was tried. We should be angry, we should be very angry with these punks.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one triggered by the Glenn Beck thing, then secondarily triggered by the Patrick Henry thing.
